Jerry Bruckheimer as new Disney CEO?

**joplin4** · 02-11-2005, 12:00 AM

I have spoken with several Disney fans and there are actually some that like this idea. I submitted Jerry Bruckheimer's name as a candidate for CEO of the Disney Company. I know what y'all are thinking. "Just because he makes good movies doesn't make him a good CEO." My answer: "What about Walt Disney?" He didn't have a good head for business. That's why he gave Roy the business part of the Disney company while he handled the creative part. Bruckheimer has a lot of the qualities that Walt Disney had. He won't settle for low quality. I think he's a good choice. My only concern is that he won't pursue animation. A lot of folks, I think, don't like this idea because they want Roy Disney to be the CEO. If I thought it was possible, I wouldn't even suggest Bruckheimer. But Roy is no longer able to take this position. Just based on the fact that his time with the company is limited. So, Roy is a no. We must turn to someone better than our present options. If anyone can think of someone better, I'd love to hear it. But this is who I support as of now.

I still vote for Lou. Second choice would be Steve Jobs.

Those aren't bad choices either. My concern with Jobs is that he won't restore traditional animation. And, in my opinion, Bruckheimer is more like Walt Disney than any other choice. But you are the first person to offer a reasonable alternative. Everyone else hates this idea because they want Roy. When will they understand we cannot get Roy!!??

Bruckheimer dates porn stars, although my kind of guy, doesn't have that wholesomeness for Disney.

i'd say Warren Buffet, he's a genius.

In the words of Will Turner, "He failed to mention that."

I think Lou would make a great CEO. I also agree that Jerry Bruckheimer would also be a good CEO. But the fact that he dates Porn Stars would not even get him close to being in the top ten.
