A good story can take you on a fantastic journey.
Walt Disney
Image
Sheer animated fantasy is still my first and deepest production impulse.
Walt Disney
Image
I never intended to make art.
Walt Disney
Image
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

Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.
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
We did it Disneyland, in the knowledge that most of the people I talked to thought it would be a financial disaster - closed and forgotten within the first year.
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.
Walt Disney
Image
My persistence is the measure of the belief I have in myself.
Walt Disney
Image
Many hands and hearts and minds generally contribute to anyone's notable achievements.
Walt Disney
Image
Fantasy and reality often overlap.
Walt Disney
Image
When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.
Walt Disney
Image
Laughter is timeless. Imagination has no age. And dreams are forever.
Walt Disney
Image
Get a good idea and stay with it. Dog it, and work at it until it's done right.
Walt Disney
Image
Both my study of Scripture and my career in entertaining children have taught me to cherish them.
Walt Disney
Image
Do a good job. You don't have to worry about the money it will take care of itself. Just do your best work - then try to trump it.
Walt Disney
Image
Here in Florida, we have something special we never enjoyed at Disneyland: the blessing of size. There's enough land here to hold all of the ideas and plans we can possibly imagine.
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
Give the public everything you can give them, keep the place as clean as you can keep it, keep it friendly.
Walt Disney
Image
The insignia meant a lot to the men who were fighting ... I had to do it ... I owed it to them.
