Well that was a mess...
I don't know what I was expecting. Of course a documentary produced by Iger - one that was so honest and critical on previous administrations - would paint himself as Disney's savior. It's a shame that all the failures of the current administration are completely ignored and much of their mediocrity is glamorized (Shanghai Disneyland anyone?). Most of Imagineering's actual technological and creative achievements are glossed over in favor of pushing Iger's agenda revolving around brand integration in what seems like a desperate justification of bad decision making by management (one of which belittles any kind of genuine concerns fans have by painting it as nothing more than whining and overreaction). It really does just become an advertisement fluff piece that abandons the narrative that Iweks was crafting in earlier episodes.
If you really feel like watching this, you can stop after the first couple of episodes.
