The Walt Disney Company has been around for 100 years, and in that time, it has developed quite a reputation!
Cinderella Castle
Disney has been known for its spectacular storytelling and immersive theme parks, but not everyone has positive opinions of the company. Each year, we check the Axios Harris reputation rankings to see where Disney stands among other major businesses, and this year’s results have now arrived!
The past several years have been challenging for Disney. Not only did Bob Chapek get replaced as CEO of the company by Bob Iger, who’d held the job previously, but once Iger stepped back into the role, he started to make a LOT of changes in the company.

Some of these changes involved layoffs within The Walt Disney Company, while other changes involved raising prices and bringing more changes to the streaming services, which Iger has said is his top priority. Then there’s the ongoing feud with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis that has resulted in several lawsuits (with one that was recently dismissed by a federal judge). Perhaps as a result of all this, Disney’s reputation had recently taken a big hit.
Disney has been facing a number of challenges in recent months and it’s not going unnoticed by the general public.
