You know, the only way I've found to make these pictures is with animators. You can't seem to do it with accountants and bookkeepers.

I love the nostalgic myself. I hope we never lose some of the things of the past.
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
It's silly to build a wall around your interests.
Walt Disney
Image
There's really no secret about our approach. We keep moving forward - opening up new doors and doing new things - because we're curious. And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. We're always exploring and experimenting. We call it Imagineering - the blending of creative and imagination with technical know-how.
Walt Disney
Image
There is no magic in magic, it's all in the details.
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
I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.
Walt Disney
Image
It is my wish to delight all members of the family, young and old, parent and child.
Walt Disney
Image
While the worriers are worrying, the planners are planning and the accountants are figuring out why we can't afford it, I'm busy getting started.
Walt Disney
Image
When you're working on a project, make sure at least one person knows what they are doing.
Walt Disney

When we opened Disneyland, a lot of people got the impressions that it was a get-rich-quick thing, but they didn't realize that behind Disneyland was this great organization that I built here at the Studio, and they all got into it and we were doing it because we loved to do it.
Walt Disney
Image
To some people, I am kind of a Merlin who takes lots of crazy chances, but rarely makes mistakes. I've made some bad ones, but fortunately, the successes have come along fast enough to cover up the mistakes. When you go to bat as many times as I do, and continually improve upon your mistakes, you're bound to get a good average.
Walt Disney
Image
Fear too often spells failure.
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.
Walt Disney
Image
Disneyland is the star, everything else is in the supporting role.
Walt Disney
Image
That's what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.
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
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
Image
I could never convince the financiers that Disneyland was feasible, because dreams offer too little collateral.
Walt Disney
Image
My persistence is the measure of the belief I have in myself.
