Roy kisses and makes up with Disney

I'm not sure what anyone was expecting. Eisner's on his way out due to pressure from Roy and Stanley, Disneyland sparkles again, Space Mt. is open and a success long earlier than originally planned, etc. Public opinion and scrutiny is what SaveDisney brought to the table. We may even see Iger fix things with Pixar. Which, of course, would leave people scratching their heads and saying, "That was it?"

Roy Disney vs. Michael Eisner on Celebrity Deathmatch would have possibly been a more satisfying resolution, but I'll take the increased public pressure causing the company to make changes as good enough.

SaveDisney had VERY high goals and screamed them from the rooftops. Ousting Eisner IMMEDIATELY, getting rid of the board as well, not dumping hand-drawn animation depts, fixing the problems in merchandising, no more cheap sequels, etc etc. I'd agree that they brought forward enough pressure to push Eisner to not renew his contract, but Iger as his replacement and no turn over on the board is definitely not a victory.
