It’s funny, every time there’s a shake-up at Disney, all the praise immediately goes to the top executives. Right now, everyone’s applauding Bob Iger as he steps down and already celebrating Josh D’Amaro as he takes over. But as a lifelong Disney fan, I always feel like something’s missing from that story.
