'Fahrenheit 9 / 11' a Hit With Disney Chief
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) -- Disney chief executive Michael Eisner has seen ``Fahrenheit 9/11,'' the film that The Walt Disney Co. refused to distribute -- and he liked it.

``The reason it is a hit is it's entertaining,'' Eisner said last week. ``I thought it was like going to a rock concert. I loved it, but not in a political (sense).''

Eisner spoke at Fortune magazine's fourth annual Brainstorm conference, co-hosted by The Aspen Institute.

``Fahrenheit 9/11'' criticizes President Bush's response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the war in Iraq. The documentary has filled theaters since its release in June, drawing a record-breaking gross of $94 million.

Eisner has said Disney decided not to distribute the film because its shareholders and customers do not expect it to be a partisan company.
