Disney is passing the torch at the top of its movie studio.
Alan Horn, who was named chairman of Walt Disney Studios in 2012, is turning the job over to veteran Disney executive Alan Bergman as the Burbank-based company takes the latest step in its transfer of power.
But Horn, 77, is not retiring. The highly respected executive will continue as the studio’s chief creative officer, a title he received last year, reporting to Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Bob Chapek. Bergman also will report to Chapek.
