More quotes by Walt Disney
Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true.
Walt Disney
I could never convince the financiers that Disneyland was feasible, because dreams offer too little collateral.
Walt Disney
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
I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it.
Walt Disney
Good bye may seem forever. Farewell is like the end, but in my heart is the memory and there you will always be.
Walt Disney
Whatever we accomplish is due to the combined effort.
Walt Disney
The mind is the pilot. We think of things before the body does them.
Walt Disney
Laughter is no enemy to learning
Walt Disney
When we opened Disneyland, a lot of people got the impressions that it was a get-rich-quick thing, but they didn't realize that behind Disneyland was this great organization that I built here at the Studio, and they all got into it and we were doing it because we loved to do it.
Walt Disney
I don't believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn't treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should.
Walt Disney
You know, the only way I've found to make these pictures is with animators. You can't seem to do it with accountants and bookkeepers.
Walt Disney
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
You'll be a poorer person all your life if you don't know some of the great stories and great poems.
Walt Disney
I think of a child's mind as a blank book. During the first years of his life, much will be written on the pages. The quality of that writing will affect his life profoundly.
Walt Disney
In most instances, the driving force behind the action is the mood, the personality, the attitude of the character - or all three. Therefore, the mind is the pilot. We think of things before the body does them.
Walt Disney
[Mickey Mouse] He popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.
Walt Disney
The fun is in always building something. After it's built, you play with it awhile and then you're through. You see, we never do the same thing twice around here. We're always opening up new doors.
Walt Disney
I am in no sense of the word a great artist, not even a great animator I have always had men working for me whose skills were greater than my own. I am an idea man.
Walt Disney
I started, actually, to make my first animated cartoon in 1920. Of course, they were very crude things then and I used sort of little puppet things.
Walt Disney
I don't want the public to see the world they live in while they're in the Park (Disneyland). I want to feel they're in another world.
Walt Disney
