'''Michael Eisner''' (b. 1942) is a [[liberal]] Hollywood studio executive. Eisner held the position as CEO of [[Disney]] from 1984 until 2005, and has also been an executive at [[NBC]] in the 1970's and president of [[Paramount Pictures]] in the early 1980's. He currently produces the [[Nickelodeon]] stop-motion sitcom ''[[Glenn Martin DDS]]'' through his company [[Tanante Entertainment]].
==Controversy==
In 2003, [[Roy E. Disney]], the son of [[Roy O. Disney]] and nephew to founder [[Walt Disney]], resigned from his positions as Disney vice chairmen and charirmen for the companeys Feature Animation Department, citing Eisner's failure as CEO, including his flops in management with Disney owned [[ABC]], a recent series of movie flops in the early 2000's, and turning Disney into a "rapacious, soul-less company".
In 2005, journalist [[James B. Stewart]] released the book ''[[DisneyWar]]''. The book describes the various controversies which took place at the Disney company during Eisner's 20-year tenure as CEO, such as Roy E. DIsney's resignation, Eisner's tensions with director [[Robert Zemeckis]] during production of ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'', Eisner's eventual rivalry with former Disney executive and [[DreamWorks]] co-founder [[Jeffery Katzenberg]] and DIsney's failure with the content of [[ABC Family]] after the network's purchase from [[Fox Television]] in the early 2000's.
