Alan Horn is set to replace Rich Ross as chairman of the Walt Disney Studios from June 11th reports Variety.\"WB<\/p>\n

Disney chief Bob Iger made the announcement Thursday afternoon, one that so far has met with a good response. Horn served as COO of Warner Bros. Entertainment for twelve years, a conservative leader who is a familiar face in the studio system and filmmaker-friendly – quite different to the outgoing Ross whose TV background made him something of an outsider.<\/p>\n

The 69-year-old Horn is also a better fit for the studio’s mandate of focusing on global day-and-date tentpole family properties that will benefit the rest of the company’s divisions through TV shows, video games, music, merchandise, web properties and theme park rides.<\/p>\n

Before Warners, Horn co-founded Castle Rock Entertainment and served as president and COO of 20th Century Fox Film Corporation. Horn said he has no initial plans to overhaul the executive line-up at Disney and\/or bring in his own staff.<\/p>\n
