No, but if anything, he was the leader of Disney Animation, probably the most important thing to get right for Iger (since Eisner had bungled it so much). They needed him, but didn’t hesitate to cut him as far as they could until projects completed and he was let loose.

From Lasserter's Wikipedia entry: > The films he has made have grossed more than $19 billion (USD), making him one of the most successful filmmakers of all time.
