Reorganization underway at the Mouse House

The new CEO of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, has launched an extensive reorganization of many of the Mouse House’s business units. Coming so soon after his official ascension in October, it’s apparent he’s been thinking about making these moves for awhile. Today we’re hearing about a merger of Walt Disney Television Animation into… Read More »Reorganization underway at the Mouse House
