However, these efforts weren't enough and in 1984, shareholder Saul Steinberg launched a brief hostile takeover bid of the company with the intention of closing it and selling off its various assets. In response, Roy Disney Jr. and Stanley Gold reached out to investor Sid Bass with the hopes of convincing him to buy a major stake in the company in order to ward off Steinberg. Bass agreed, but only on the condition that Disney's management underwent a serious change. And so, in a board room coup, Miller was ousted and Michael Eisner and Jeffery Katzenberg (both from Creator/{{Paramount}}) and Frank Wells (from WarnerBros) were placed in charge of the company. In its ten years of existence, this management trio revived the company with inexpensive but well received adult fare like the comedy films with relatively faded stars at the time like NickNolte and BetteMidler. Eventually, the company purchased the noted independent film distributor/studio {{Miramax}} to produce more artistically ambitious fare, which paid off with the audacious and critically hailed 1994 box office hit, ''PulpFiction'' by QuentinTarantino.
