5 Reason Why Disney Fans Are Delighted Bob Iger Has Returned
1. Chapek Has Held A Lot Of The Blame Amongst Fans
Fans of different aspects have put their blame at frustrations at Chapek's door.
Star Wars fans have lamented at the lack of content. Marvel has been criticised by those who view this new phase as a reduction in quality. Theme park fans have been angered by what they view as his "nickel and dime" approach to service.
The lack of confidence in Chapek appears to have finally spread from fans shouting on the internet to the Disney boardroom. Investors and market loses have finally forced the company to look at whether they think that Chapek is in fact the person to take Disney forward.
The return of Iger could signal a return to Disney's old style of management and perhaps even principles. Those who are less invested in Disney may point out that some of the aspects that Chapek had to deal with were in fact partly Iger's making. The costly acquisition of Fox and introduction of Disney+ happened not long before he stepped away and Chapek was left to manage.
Ultimately, Iger's return will cause many fans of Disney to breathe a sigh of relief. How it will work out in practice and if we'll see a return of quality and pricing will take a while to reveal itself.
