walt and jim

After reading the article "Walt Disney and Jim Henson: So similar, so different" I've learned that The two genius's have a lot in common but the way they would run their companies is very different. Walt welcomed company expansion where Jim on the other hand was more of a small company person. Walt however had some staffing issues in the 1940's.  Jim also had internal issues with staffing with a rivalry between the New York team and the London team. Fairy tales were a big part in both men's lives. Walt's fairy tales more mainly straight forward where Jim's were more socially relevant to the time. A similarity though was they both embraced new technology to help with Jim's puppet skills and Walt Disney's theme parks. I liked how each paragraph was a different topic, and that they were either a similarity or a difference. The article was very informative and helped m,e learn more about Walt and Jim. Who's going to be the next Walt Disney or Jim Henson?
