Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well, I won't do that.

The insignia meant a lot to the men who were fighting ... I had to do it ... I owed it to them.

Image
Well I come from a land, from a far away place, where the caravan camels roam. They will cut of your ear if they don't like your face, it's babaric, but hey, it's home.

Disneyland is something that will never be finished. It's something that I can keep developing. It will be a live, breathing thing that will need change. A picture is a thing, once you wrap it up and turn it over to Technicolor, you're through. Snow White is a dead issue with me. But I can change the park, because it's alive.

All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.
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.

Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature.
Walt Disney
Image
Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America...
Walt Disney
Image
Disneyland is often called a magic kingdom because it combines fantasy and history, adventure and learning, together with every variety of recreation and fun designed to appeal to everyone.
Walt Disney
Image
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
I thank God and America for the right to live and raise my family under the flag of tolerance, democracy and freedom.
Walt Disney

You little fool. You thought you could defeat the most powerful being on Earth.

You'll be a poorer person all your life if you don't know some of the great stories and great poems.

There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island...

I do not want to make teaching films. If I did, I would create a separate organization. It is not higher education that interests me so much as general mass education.
