More quotes by Walt Disney
I don't believe in talking down to children. I don't believe in talking down to any certain segment.
Walt Disney
Curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Walt Disney
I just make what I like - warm and human stories, ones about historic characters and events, and about animals. If there is a secret, I guess it's that I never make the pictures too childish, but always try to get in a little satire of adult foibles.
Walt Disney
Adults are interested if you don't play down to the little 2 or 3 year olds or talk down. I don't believe in talking down to children. I don't believe in talking down to any certain segment. I like to kind of just talk in a general way to the audience. Children are always reaching.
Walt Disney
At first the cartoon medium was just a novelty, but it never really began to hit until we had more than tricks... until we developed personalities. We had to get beyond getting a laugh. They may roll in the aisles, but that doesn't mean you have a great picture. You have pathos in the thing.
Walt Disney
You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.
Walt Disney
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
You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.
Walt Disney
Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end.
Walt Disney
Many of the things that seem impossible now will become realities tomorrow.
Walt Disney
Without such inspiration, we would rapidly deteriorate and finally perish.
Walt Disney
Think beyond your lifetime if you want to accomplish something truly worthwhile.
Walt Disney
But they say if you dream a thing more than once, it's sure to come true.
Walt Disney
We've got to fight against bigness. If a school gets too large, you lose an intimacy with the students they begin to feel they're just part of a big complex. I don't think you can create too well in a big plant. That's why I always tried to avoid bigness in the studio.
Walt Disney
I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now.
Walt Disney
Speaking for the one field which I feel definitely qualified to comment on, I fully believe the animated picture will emerge as one of the greatest mediums, not only of entertainment but also of education.
Walt Disney
Never put business before family.
Walt Disney
Leadership means that a group, large or small, is willing to entrust authority to a person who has shown judgement, wisdom, personal appeal, and proven competence.
Walt Disney
I started, actually, to make my first animated cartoon in 1920. Of course, they were very crude things then and I used sort of little puppet things.
Walt Disney
I don't want the public to see the world they live in while they're in the Park (Disneyland). I want to feel they're in another world.
Walt Disney
