Roy E. Disney
Published Dec 17, 2009
Talking with some customers in our stores I was struck at how much Roy E. is credited with making Disney the entertainment giant it is today. Some people credit him with "righting the ship" two times in the last two decades or so. It seems he was a proponent of building the brand through quality that builds over time. You can certainly tell his legacy at today's theme parks with their focus on 90's animated movies.
From the Disney press release:
Bob Iger, president and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, said, "On behalf of everyone at Disney, we are saddened by the loss of our friend and colleague Roy E. Disney. He was much more than a valued 56-year Company veteran – Roy's true passion and focus were preserving and building upon the amazing legacy of Disney animation that was started by his father and uncle. Roy's commitment to the art of animation was unparalleled and will always remain his personal legacy and one of his greatest contributions to Disney's past, present and future."
