"You had all of these 'really smart' hedge-fund guys putting a gigantic short on Disney [because of the rising dollar]," Cramer said. "It was one of the great short spoils ever."

Cramer also compared the company to fellow Dow constituent Procter & Gamble. "Disney is [Procter & Gamble] during their heyday. [They] have 11 billion-dollar franchises, [and] they keep adding to them. This is the way Procter was when [they] were the great American company before it lost its growth."
