Eisner's biggest problem in 2004 was that he did not fully fathom how messed up his animation division was.
2004年，艾斯納最大的麻煩就在于他不知道動畫部門巳經一團糟了。
Its two most recent movies, Treasure Planet and Brother Bear, did no honor to the Disney legacy, or to its balance sheets.
最新推出的兩部電影《星銀島》和《熊的傳說》并未達到迪士尼應有的水準，甚至沒有達到收支平衡。
Hit animation movies were the lifeblood of the company; they spawned theme park rides, toys, and television shows.
動畫片是迪士尼的命脈，正是它們衍生了主題公園、玩具和電視節目。
Toy Story had led to a movie sequel, a Disney on Ice show, a Toy Story Musical performed on Disney cruise ships,
一部《玩具總動員》成就了續集、一部迪士尼冰上表演、一部在迪士尼海上巡游船上表演的《玩具總動員》音樂劇、
a direct-to-video film featuring Buzz Lightyear, a computer storybook, two video games,
一部以“巴斯光年”為主角的電視電影、一本計算機故事書、兩款電子游戲、
a dozen action toys that sold twenty-five million units, a clothing line, and nine different attractions at Disney theme parks.
銷量達2500萬個的電動玩具、一條服裝生產線，以及迪士尼主題公園里的9個場景。
This was not the case for Treasure Planet.
相比之下，《星銀島》可就沒有這么好運了。
"Michael didn't understand that Disney's problems in animation were as acute as they were," Iger later explained.
艾格后來解釋道：“邁克爾還沒有意識到，迪士尼在動畫片上出的問題已經很嚴重了。
"That manifested itself in the way he dealt with Pixar. He never felt he needed Pixar as much as he really did."
這也反映到了他對待皮克斯的態度。他并不覺得他有多么需要皮克斯?！?/div>
In addition, Eisner loved to negotiate and hated to compromise,
此外，艾斯納喜歡談判，痛恨妥協，
which was not always the best combination when dealing with Jobs, who was the same way.
而這種性格并不適合和喬布斯一起共事，因為喬布斯也是這種人。
"Every negotiation needs to be resolved by compromises," Iger said. "Neither one of them is a master of compromise."
艾格說：“每一次談判最終都要以妥協來收尾。但是他們兩個誰都不愿作出讓步?！?/p>
