Speaking for the one field which I feel definitely qualified to comment on, I fully believe the animated picture will emerge as one of the greatest mediums, not only of entertainment but also of education.
Walt Disney
Image
It seems to me shallow and arrogant for any man in these times to claim he is completely self-made, that he owes all his success to his own unaided efforts. Many hands and hearts and minds generally contribute to anyone's notable achievements.
Walt Disney
Image
To me, today, at age sixty-one, all prayer, by the humble or highly placed, has one thing in common: supplication for strength and inspiration to carry on the best human impulses which should bind us together for a better world.

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

Disneyland is a work of love...Drawing up plans and dreaming of what I could do, everything. It was just something I kind of kept playing around with.
Walt Disney
Image
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.

Here is the world of imagination, hopes, and dreams. In this timeless land of enchantment, the age of chivalry, magic and make-believe are reborn - and fairy tales come true. Fantasyland is dedicated to the young-in-heart, to those who that when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true.

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.

My fun is working on a project and solving the problems.

Image
I am interested in entertaining people, in bringing pleasure, particularly laughter, to others, rather than being concerned with expressing myself with obscure creative impressions.
Walt Disney
Image
I'm doing this because I want to do it better.
Walt Disney
Image
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.

When you're working on a project, make sure at least one person knows what they are doing.

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.
Walt Disney
Image
I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment. I am never satisfied with my work. I resent the limitations of my own imagination.
Walt Disney

You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.
Walt Disney

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.

In bad times and in good I've never lost my sense of zest for life.

My imagination creates my reality.

Have confidence in your ability to do it right, and work hard to do the best possible job.
