Disney in Review

4. Interview: J Samuel Blankenship- Walt Disney Declaring Bankruptcy


Listen Later

 


J Samuel "Sam" Blankenship and I reminisce about our time working together at Kilimanjaro Safari Ride in Disney's Animal Kingdom through the Disney College Program (DCP)! We also talk about why Walt Disney specifically filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Kansas City. And finally, we get de-monorailed to talk about the upcoming live-action Lion King film and the excellence of the Hunchback of Notre Dame's soundtrack. 


 


Chapter 7 bankruptcy- Debtors take ownership of and liquidate (sell) all assets of the company/person. 


Chapter 11 bankruptcy- The bankrupt person/company is able to keep some of their assets and renegotiates the terms of the debt with his/her debtors.


 


J Samuel Blankenship also has almost released his new podcast, Stories Told by Me! Be sure to keep an eye out for it out on your podcasting platforms/apps!
