	Robert Iger's First Big Decision
		Cook ran Disney's distribution and marketing operations for years, and he has generated more than $1 billion a year in box-office revenues for the studio since getting the top job in 1996.
		Indeed, Cook is known as one of Hollywood's nicest guys and would be crucial to restoring some of Disney's lost luster in the talent-relations department (see BW Online, 12/5/03, "The Nicest Guy in Disney's Jungle").
		Moreover, if Cook were elevated it would likely go a long way to helping Iger strike a new deal with the studio's top partner, Pixar Animation (PIXR), which is scheduled to depart in 2006 after 12 years of making films for Disney.

	BW Online \| December 5, 2003 \| The Nicest Guy in Disney's Jungle
		Cook is a cherubic 53-year-old who loves his University of Southern California football team, is prone to say "golly" a little too often, and started his Disney career 30-odd years back operating the Jungle Boat ride at Disneyland.
		When Cook was named studio chief in early 2002 -- after an outside search to replace the hyperkinetic Peter Schneider -- a little cheer went up among the Disney faithful that calm was returning to the jungle.
		Cook is also the guy to whom Eisner has delegated the delicate task of dealing with Apple (AAPL) Chairman Steve Jobs, who's also the majority owner and CEO of Pixar Animation Studio (PIXR), the computer-animation goldmine that created such megahits for Disney as Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., and this year's $340 million blockbuster Finding Nemo.
