What seems lost in all of this is that Disney, from Walt’s earliest beginnings, was never “most businesses”. In fact, Walt dreamed his grand dreams to create something that was distinctly different from most businesses of the day, and it stood the test of time….for a good run. However, times have changed. Being a curmudgeon and longing for the Disney some of us fell in love with won’t get anyone anywhere….but it doesn’t mean we can’t have a little bit of lament over what has been lost in translation, and to shareholders, over the decades. The Disney of today is nothing more than a commodity, and as all commodities are prone to do, the current Disney “Magic
“ will run out. Not that we won’t enjoy it while it’s there….
