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.

I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place...
Walt Disney
Image
We felt that the public, and especially the children, like animals that are cute and little. I think we are rather indebted to Charlie Chaplin for the idea. We wanted something appealing, and we thought of a tiny bit of a mouse that would have something of the wistfulness of Chaplin - a little fellow trying to do the best he could.

Disneyland is not just another amusement park. It's unique, and I want it kept that way. Besides, you don't work for a dollar - you work to create and have fun.
Walt Disney
Image
Until a character becomes a personality it cannot be believed. Without personality, the character may do funny or interesting things, but unless people are able to identify themselves with the character, its actions will seem unreal. And without personality, a story cannot ring true to the audience.

I believe firmly in the efficacy of religion, in its powerful influence on a person's whole life. It helps immeasurably to meet the storms and stress of life and keep you attuned to the Divine inspiration. Without inspiration, we would perish.
Walt Disney
Image
After the rain, the sun will reappear. There is life. After the pain, the joy will still be here.
Walt Disney
Image
In my work I try to reach and speak to that innocence, showing it the fun and joy of living showing it that laughter is healthy showing it that the human species, although happily ridiculous at times, is still reaching for the stars.
Walt Disney
Image
It's a mistake not to give people a chance to learn to depend on themselves while they are young.

When I started on Disneyland, my wife used to say, But why do you want to build an amusement park? They're so dirty. I told her that was just the point - mine wouldn't be.
