The way I see it, Disneyland will never be finished.
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.

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
Fear too often spells failure.
Walt Disney
Image
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
Whenever I go on a ride, I'm always thinking of what's wrong with the thing and how it can be improved.
Walt Disney
Image
All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.
Walt Disney
Image
We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us.
Walt Disney
Image
If I depended on critics and children to make a living I'd grow broke.
Walt Disney
Image
A lie keeps growing and growing until it's as plain as the nose on your face.
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.
