More quotes by Walt Disney
I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place - a place where adults and children can experience together some of the wonders of life, of adventure, and feel better because of it.
Walt Disney
To be successful you must be unique, you must be so different that if people want what you have, they must come to you to get it.
Walt Disney
God wisely designed the human body so that we can neither pat our own backs nor kick ourselves too easily. The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
Walt Disney
Childishness? I think it's the equivalent of never losing your sense of humor. I mean, yes there's a certain something that you retain. It's the equivalent of not getting so stuffy that you can't laugh at others.
Walt Disney
What seems real to the mind can be as important as any material fact. We live by the spirit and the imagination as well as by our senses. Cartoon animation can give fantasy the same reality as those things we can touch and see and hear.
Walt Disney
Whatever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it they will want to come back and see you do it again and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do.
Walt Disney
We like to have a point of view in our stories, not an obvious moral, but a worthwhile theme. ... All we are trying to do is give the public good entertainment. That is all they want.
Walt Disney
Laughter is timeless. Imagination has no age. And dreams are forever.
Walt Disney
I started, actually, to make my first animated cartoon in 1920. Of course, they were very crude things then and I used sort of little puppet things.
Walt Disney
The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.
Walt Disney
I could never convince the financiers that Disneyland was feasible, because dreams offer too little collateral.
Walt Disney
I've always had a feeling that any time you can experiment, you ought to do it. Because you never know what will happen.
Walt Disney
People often ask me if I know the secret of success and if I could tell others how to make their dreams come true. My answer is, you do it by working.
Walt Disney
Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.
Walt Disney
Laughter is no enemy to learning
Walt Disney
No matter what the provocation, I never fire a man who is honestly trying to deliver a job. Few workers who become established at the Disney Studio ever leave voluntarily or otherwise, and many have been on the payroll all their working lives.
Walt Disney
Ideas come from curiosity.
Walt Disney
Disneyland is a show.
Walt Disney
Art was always a means to an end with me. You get an idea, and you just can't wait. Once you've started, then you're in there with the punches flying. There's plenty of trouble, but you can handle it. You can't back out. It gets you down once in a while, but it's exciting. Our whole business is exciting.
Walt Disney
I do not want to make teaching films. If I did, I would create a separate organization. It is not higher education that interests me so much as general mass education.
Walt Disney
