Although you might not have heard the name Sean Bailey before, you are almost certainly familiar with some of the work that he has done. He has been the president of Disney’s motion picture production since 2010. He has now officially resigned and is now being replaced by David Greenbaum. Baily worked on Alice In Wonderland, Maleficent (2014), and The Jungle Book (2016) as well as the remakes of The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin.
“David has an incredible creative sensibility and eye for film, and he has built a reputation as an exceptional leader and creative executive, as proven by his track record at Searchlight Pictures and deep relationships throughout the industry,” said Disney Entertainment co-chairman Alan Bergman in a statement. “I’m thrilled that he’ll be taking on this new and important role. Sean has been an incredibly important member of the Studio’s creative team for well over a decade. He and his team have brought to the screen iconic stories and moments that have delighted fans around the world and will stand the test of time. I know he’ll continue to do great things.”

“These 15 years at Disney have been an incredible journey, but the time is right for a new chapter. I’m deeply grateful to my exceptional team and proud of the slate and history we’ve built together,” said Bailey of his time at Disney. “I joined Disney while producing ‘Tron: Legacy,’ so it seems fitting that I will have the opportunity to work on the latest ‘Tron’ as I depart.”
