Ideas come from curiosity.
Walt Disney
Image
Get a good idea and stay with it. Dog it, and work at it until it's done right.
Walt Disney
Image
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
Image
Every child is born blessed with a vivid imagination. But just as a muscle grows flabby with disuse, so the bright imagination of a child pales in later years if he ceases to exercise it.
Walt Disney
Image
Curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Walt Disney
Image
Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. [. . . ] You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you're walking on air. And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head!

We are not influenced by the techniques or fashions of any other company.

It's always a challenge bringing a great story classic to the screen. Giving visual form to the characters and places that have only existed in the imagination. But it's the kind of challenge we enjoy.
Walt Disney
Image
No one person can take credit for the success of a motion picture. It's strictly a team effort. From the time the story is written to the time the final release print comes off the printer, hundreds of people are involved - each one doing a job - each job contributing to the final product.

People still think of me as a cartoonist, but the only thing I lift a pen or pencil for these days is to sign a contract, a check, or an autograph.
Walt Disney
Image
Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well, I won't do that.
Walt Disney
Image
You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.
Walt Disney
Image
Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.
Walt Disney
Image
Until a character becomes a personality it cannot be believed. Without personality, the character may do funny or interesting things, but unless people are able to identify themselves with the character, its actions will seem unreal. And without personality, a story cannot ring true to the audience.
Walt Disney

Everything that matters to we can work out as expected, in the event that we have the strength to seek after them.
Walt Disney
Image
To some people, I am kind of a Merlin who takes lots of crazy chances, but rarely makes mistakes. I've made some bad ones, but fortunately, the successes have come along fast enough to cover up the mistakes. When you go to bat as many times as I do, and continually improve upon your mistakes, you're bound to get a good average.

Progress is impossible without change

I could never convince the financiers that Disneyland was feasible, because dreams offer too little collateral.
Walt Disney

Every man is captain of his career and there must be cooperation all around if he is to get what he wants out of life.
Walt Disney

We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.
