Cook said he had been contemplating leaving the studio for some time and that “it’s the right time for me to move on to new adventures.”

It was not immediately known who would replace Cook as chief of the studio.

“I have loved every minute of my 38 years that I have worked at Disney, from the beginning as a ride operator on Disneyland’s steam train and monorail to my position as chairman of The Walt Disney Studios,” Cook said.

Cook began working at Disneyland as a ride operator in 1970 and moved up through the ranks to become chairman of Walt Disney Studios 32 years later.

Described by Business Week in 2003 as “the nicest guy in Disney’s jungle,” Cook is known for his down-to-earth personality and good relations with Disney’s partners.

Cook’s studio has drawn criticism recently for the quality of its films. Movies like “Race to Witch Mountain,” “Bedtime Stories,” and “Confessions of a Shopaholic” were box office flops.

Cook said the studio’s slate of upcoming movies is the best in its history.
