The account of Larry Gordon vs. Michael Eisner in Disneywar has to be one of the funniest and stupidest things I've ever read.

[Michael] Eisner proceeded to make his own priorities clear. "We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make a statement. But to make money, it is often important to make history, to make art, or to make some significant statement...In order to make money, we must always make entertaining movies, and if we make entertaining movies, at times we will reliably make history, art, a statement, or all three."

Listening to Disneywar and this is just Succession about the Mouse.

I also highly recommend reading DisneyWar by James B. Stewart to any fans of Succession. It’s a great (and entertaining) read in itself and it’s a special experience if you are a Succession fan and want to understand where the inspiration is coming from. After all, Roys do hate speech and roller coasters

I am really loving this book so much more than I thought I would considering it’s a deep dive into the more business side of Disney during Michael Eisner’s era of running the company. But the politics of the company and how they shaped what eventually came out of the consumer end is actually fascinating to me. I definitely want to read more books like this. #Disney #DisneyWar #books #reading #nonfiction #booklr #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BwieYKEHSWk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d701j8gd1xu2
