We really believe that Walt Disney is a very able company with great depth and a great set of franchises.
People go to Disney because they know its brand attributes. We believe we have an opportunity to go with our content directly to consumers.
We have a unique opportunity as Disney because it really is the only true global entertainment brand.
I had worked at Disney since they bought the company that I had worked for, ABC in the mid-90s.
