Image
In learning the art of storytelling by animation, I have discovered that language has an anatomy.
Walt Disney
Image
In our animation we must show only the actions and reactions of a character, but we must picture also with the action. . . the feeling of those characters.
Walt Disney
Image
I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.
Walt Disney
Image
Money-or rather the lack of it to carry out my ideas-may worry me, but it does not excite me.
Walt Disney
Image
I do not make films primarily for children. I make them for the child in all of us, whether we be six or sixty.
Walt Disney
Image
It's no secret that we were sticking just about every nickel we had on the chance that people would really be interested in something totally new and unique in the field of entertainment.
Walt Disney
Image
Disneyland really began when my two daughters were very young. Saturday was always Daddy's Day and I would take them to the merry-go-round, and sit on a bench eating peanuts while they rode. And sitting there alone, I felt there should be something built, some kind of family park where parents and children could have fun together.

It's a mistake not to give people a chance to learn to depend on themselves while they are young.
Walt Disney
Image
The ideal set-up would be the story man, the director, and the layout man, as well as musician, operating as a sort of story unit. They all should be keenly interested in the picture. No one in person should donate to an extent where he would keep the others from entering into the production and freely expressing themselves.
Walt Disney
Image
I think you have to know these fellows definitely before you can draw them. When you start to caricature a person,you can't do it without knowing the person. Take Laurel and Hardy for example everybody can see Laurel doing certain things because they know Laurel.
Walt Disney
Image
But they say if you dream a thing more than once, it's sure to come true.
Walt Disney
Image
Today, we are shapers of the world of tomorrow. That is plain truth. There is no way we can duck the responsibility, and there is no reason why we should.
Walt Disney
Image
Disneyland would be a world of Americans, past and present, seen through the eyes of my imagination--a place of warmth and nostalgia, of illusion and color and delight.
Walt Disney
Image
I'm not the perfectionist anymore. It's my staff. They're the ones always insisting on doing something better and better.
Walt Disney
Image
My persistence is the measure of the belief I have in myself.
Walt Disney
Image
Curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Walt Disney
Image
Do anything better than it was ever done before and youll get rich.
Walt Disney
Image
Now when we opened Disneyland, outer space was Buck Rogers.

The four Cs of making dreams come true: Curiosity, Courage, Consistency, Confidence.

Life is beautiful. It's about giving. It's about family.
