Walt Disney Chief Executive Michael Eisner will step down from Disney in 2006. Eisner informed the board of his decision in a letter made public today which signaled the end of tenure of one of Hollywood's most powerful and well-paid moguls.



Everyone from eBay CEO Meg Whitman to Yahoo Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Terry Semel are being considered for the job. However one person in particular is getting a lot of buzz about filling Disney's top spot.... Steve Jobs, the chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios Inc. and Apple Computer. [Via BBC]



The MethodShop Spin: Steve Jobs started the 3D animation wave with Toy Story. He knows the future. Disney's 2D animation days are over. New leadership is needed at Disney ASAP. The Magic Kingdom has become a creative wasteland. The only good films that Disney has been connected with have been done by Pixar.
