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.

I have never been interested in personal gain or profit. This business and this studio have been my entire life.
Walt Disney
Image
Togetherness, for me, means teamwork. It makes us reflect how completely dependent we are upon one another in our social and commercial life. The more diversified our labors and interests have become in the modern world, the more surely need to integrate our efforts to justify our individual selves and our civilization.
Walt Disney

I resent the limitations of my own imagination.

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.

It's a mistake not to give people a chance to learn to depend on themselves while they are young.
Walt Disney
Image
Born of necessity, the little fellow literally freed us of immediate worry. He provided the means for expanding our organization to its present dimensions and for extending the medium of cartoon animation toward new entertainment levels. He spelled production liberation for us.
Walt Disney

I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.
Walt Disney
Image
Leadership shows judgment, wisdom, personal appeal and proven competence.

When we do fantasy, we must not lose sight of reality.
Walt Disney

The life and ventures of Mickey Mouse have been closely bound up with my own personal and professional life.
Walt Disney
Image
I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter. With the laugh comes the tears and in developing motion pictures or television shows, you must combine all the facts of life - drama, pathos and humor.
Walt Disney

I have long felt that the way to keep children out of trouble is to keep them interested in things. Lecturing to children is no answer to delinquency. Preaching won't keep youngsters out of trouble, but keeping their minds occupied will.

I never intended to make art.

Do anything better than it was ever done before and youll get rich.
