Dick Cook resigns/fired from Disney

cook-mickey[1]Dick Cook, Chairman of Walt Disney Studios, either resigned or was fired today depending on the source. Several box office bombs and a lack of profitability are the main reasons being given for his leaving. The New York Times[2] has what seems to be the official version, while Nikki Finke[3] has the behind the scenes version of the story. Thanks to Josh in the Animated News & Views Forum[4] for the heads up.
