Disney's big Shanghai inauguration was partly overshadowed by the sad headlines out of Florida where a two-year boy fell victim to an alligator at the company's resort.

In the research report, linked nearby, the Zacks analyst discusses the growth promise of Disney's movie business and investors' ESPN concerns.
