Bob Iger's second tour as Disney chief has been far less cheery than the first. The House of Mouse to which Iger returned was beset by problems, and he's made missteps too.
Imagine an alternate universe where Bob Iger got his magical storybook ending after departing from the Walt Disney Co. more than two years ago. It was one of the best-orchestrated exits you could dream up. After 15 years building Disney into an entertainment behemoth with the purchases of Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Fox, he'd handed the reins to a hand-picked successor. But the fairy tale soon fractured.
Or the fact that Iger had barely stepped back onto the Burbank lot before questions resurfaced about succession plans. Year One of Iger's second tenure was all about repairing the damage and forging Disney's future. Today, though, there are signs that Disney is playing offense again. Iger has walked back comments that suggested he was willing to sell TV businesses, including ABC.
