Quote

Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows.

I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment.
Walt Disney

No one person can take credit for the success of a motion picture. It's strictly a team effort. From the time the story is written to the time the final release print comes off the printer, hundreds of people are involved - each one doing a job - each job contributing to the final product.
Walt Disney

Everyone has to contribute, or they become laborers.
Walt Disney
Image
We seem to know when to 'tap the heart.' Others have hit the intellect. We can hit them in all emotional way. Those who appeal to the intellect only appeal to a very limited group. The real thing behind this is: we are in the motion picture business, only we are drawing them instead of photographing them.

Even miracles take a little time.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life.

If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast? -Beauty & the Beast

A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there. With enough effort, he may achieve it. Or he may find something that is even more rewarding. But in the end, no matter what the outcome, he will know he has been alive.
Walt Disney

I just want it to look like nothing else in the world. And it should be surrounded by a train.
Walt Disney
Image
Sometimes I think of myself as a little bee. I go from one area of the studio to another and gather pollen and sort of stimulate everybody. I guess that’s the job I do.
Walt Disney
Image
Anything that has the Disney name to it is something we feel responsible for.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't want to please everybody. I'd get a little worried if I did something and everybody was pleased with it.

The most exciting and, by far, the most important part of our Florida project, in fact, the heart of everything well be doing in Disney World, will be our experimental prototype city of tomorrow. We call it EPCOT.

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.

Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive.

When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

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.

Tomorrow will be better for as long as America keeps alive the ideals of freedom and a better life.

But they say if you dream a thing more than once, it's sure to come true.
