As any animation historian knows, Frank Wells, second-in-command at Disney, tragically died in a plane crash in 1994. Jeffery Katzenberg, head of Disney's motion picture division and one of the main people responsible for the Disney Renaissance alongside CEO Micheal Eisner and vice-chairman of the board of directors and chairman of the animation department Roy E. Disney, seemed like the obvious choice to be promoted to President. When Eisner passed him over, Katzenberg got pissed and resigned followed by launching a lawsuit against Disney to recover money allegedly owed to him which was settled out of court for $250 million. Katzenberg was still angry which was why later that year, he, along with Steven Spielberg and David Geffen, founded a little company called Dreamworks. Without Katzenberg, Disney basically underwent a slow motion collapse throughout the rest of the 90s and spent the first decade of the 2000s wandering blind through the desert of mediocrity with the animation world being dominated by the competition between newfound partner Pixar and the aforementioned Dreamworks. Non-Pixar Disney animation would finally get back on top around 2010 but that's a story for another time.
Now that i'm finished giving you an animation history lesson, I finally get to the point of this: What would have happened if Katzenberg had been promoted to President? The Disney Renaissance probably lasts longer and Disney as a company is probably in better shape throughout the 2000s. It might even impact politics as Katzenberg OTL actively supported the Barack Obama campaign and is a heavy fundraiser for the Democratic Party. Your thoughts?
