I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.
Walt Disney
Image
Both my study of Scripture and my career in entertaining children have taught me to cherish them.
Walt Disney
Image
When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess.
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.

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

I think a good study of music would be indispensable to the animators - a realization on their part of how primitive music is, how natural it is for people to want to go to music - a study of rhythm, the dance - the various rhythms enter into our lives every day.

I think you have to know these fellows definitely before you can draw them. When you start to caricature a person,you can't do it without knowing the person. Take Laurel and Hardy for example everybody can see Laurel doing certain things because they know Laurel.

A man should never neglect his family for business.
Walt Disney
Image
All individuals are different. Some of us just wouldn't be satisfied with just carrying out a routine job and being happy.
Walt Disney
Image

Walt Disney
Image
Whether you say you can't or you can, you're right.
Walt Disney
Image
Always, as you travel, assimilate the sounds and sights of the world.
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
A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep.
Walt Disney
Image
We have always tried to be guided by the basic idea that, in the discovery of knowledge, there is great entertainment - as, conversely, in all good entertainment, there is always some grain of wisdom, humanity, or enlightenment to be gained.
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.

Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end.
