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.

Never get bored or cynical. Yesterday is a thing of the past.
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.
Walt Disney
Image
There is nothing wrong with good schmaltz, nothing wrong with good heart... The critics think I'm kind of corny. Well, I am corny. As long as people respond to it, I'm okay.
Walt Disney
Image
[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.

Your talent makes you who you are. You should be proud of it.

Who says that my dreams have to just stay my dreams?

IT'S OUR AMERICA - DO SOMETHING TO PRESERVE ITS' BEAUTY STRENGTH, AND NATURAL WEALTH

People spend money when and where they feel good.
Walt Disney

We love to entertain kings and queens, but at Disneyland, everyone is a V.I.P.
Walt Disney
Image
The ideal set-up would be the story man, the director, and the layout man, as well as musician, operating as a sort of story unit. They all should be keenly interested in the picture. No one in person should donate to an extent where he would keep the others from entering into the production and freely expressing themselves.
Walt Disney
Image
Even miracles take a little time.
Walt Disney
Image
Of all the things I've done, the most vital is coordinating those who work with me and aiming their efforts at a certain goal.
Walt Disney
Image
I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.
Walt Disney
Image
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
Image
I'm not the perfectionist anymore. It's my staff. They're the ones always insisting on doing something better and better.
Walt Disney
Image
We grew to our present size almost against ourselves. It was not a deliberately planned commercial venture in the sense that I sat down and said that we were going to make ourselves into a huge financial octopus. We evolved by necessity. We did not sit down and say to ourselves, 'How can we make a big pile of dough?' It just happened.
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
Every man is captain of his career and there must be cooperation all around if he is to get what he wants out of life.
Walt Disney

I believe that laughter is our greatest export

Leadership shows judgment, wisdom, personal appeal and proven competence.
