      We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make a statement. To make money is our only objective.

      Disney CEO Michael Eisner, in an internal memo in 1981

        I mean. In all fairness he’s not the current CEO and he is very much malighned as Disney’s CEO. He’s the main Blame for Disney’s worst years.

        But also I can’t find the actual source for that quote your referencing anywhere. Just a bunch of other posts, memes, and comments saying he said it. In 1981 he worked for Paramount. He didn’t work for Disney until 1984. So I’m a bit skeptical he even ever said that. Though it’s obviously absolutely possible.
