Adults are interested if you don't play down to the little 2 or 3 year olds or talk down. I don't believe in talking down to children. I don't believe in talking down to any certain segment. I like to kind of just talk in a general way to the audience. Children are always reaching.

If watching is all you're going to do, then you're going to watch your life go by without you.
Walt Disney

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
Walt Disney

We've got to fight against bigness. If a school gets too large, you lose an intimacy with the students they begin to feel they're just part of a big complex. I don't think you can create too well in a big plant. That's why I always tried to avoid bigness in the studio.

I have long felt that the way to keep children out of trouble is to keep them interested in things.

You'll be a poorer person all your life if you don't know some of the great stories and great poems.

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!

If I can't find a theme, I can't make a film anyone else will feel. I can't laugh at intellectual humor. I'm just corny enough to like to have a story hit me over the heart.
Walt Disney
Image
It is a curious thing that the more the world shrinks because of electronic communications, the more limitless becomes the province of the storytelling entertainer.
Walt Disney
Image
Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature.
Walt Disney
Image
My business is making people, especially children, happy.
Walt Disney
Image
I just want it to look like nothing else in the world. And it should be surrounded by a train.
Walt Disney

Curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Actually, if you could see close in my eyes, the American flag is waving in both of them and up my spine is growing this red, white and blue stripe.
Walt Disney
Image
I just needed to get out on my own, live my own life. And I did, and it's great.

Once a man has tasted freedom he will never be content to be a slave.

Fear too often spells failure.

I first saw the site for Disneyland back in 1953, In those days it was all flat land - no rivers, no mountains, no castles or rocket ships - just orange groves, and a few acres of walnut trees.

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.
