In learning the art of storytelling by animation, I have discovered that language has an anatomy.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't pretend to know anything about art. I make pictures for entertainment, and then the professors tell me what they mean.
Walt Disney
Image
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
Image
Art was always a means to an end with me. You get an idea, and you just can't wait. Once you've started, then you're in there with the punches flying. There's plenty of trouble, but you can handle it. You can't back out. It gets you down once in a while, but it's exciting. Our whole business is exciting.
Walt Disney

I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.
Walt Disney
Image
I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters - to make them personalities.
Walt Disney
Image
Besides, you don't work for a dollar - you work to create and have fun.
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
Image
The worst of us is not without innocence, although buried deeply it might be.
Walt Disney

Disneyland will always be building and growing and adding new things... new ways of having fun, of learning things, and sharing the many exciting adventures which may be experienced here in the company of family and friends.
Walt Disney
Image
You don't build it for yourself. You know what the people want and you build it for them.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't have depressed moods. I'm happy, just very, very happy.
Walt Disney
Image
I think you have to know these fellows definitely before you can draw them. When you start to caricature a person,you can't do it without knowing the person. Take Laurel and Hardy for example everybody can see Laurel doing certain things because they know Laurel.
Walt Disney
Image
I happen to be kind of an inquisitive guy and when I see things I don't like, I start thinking, why do they have to be like this and how can I improve them?
Walt Disney
Image
It is good to have a failure while you're young because it teaches you so much. For one thing it makes you aware that such a thing can happen to anybody, and once you've lived through the worst, you're never quite as vulnerable afterward.
Walt Disney
Image
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.

Progress is impossible without change
Walt Disney
Image
People often ask me if I know the secret of success and if I could tell others how to make their dreams come true. My answer is, you do it by working.

Always fight for quality, whether giving or receiving.
