Image
I don't believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn't treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should.
Walt Disney
Image
All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Walt Disney
Image
All right. I'm corny. But I think there's just about a-hundred-and-forty-million people in this country that are just as corny as I am.
Walt Disney
Image
God wisely designed the human body so that we can neither pat our own backs nor kick ourselves too easily. The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
Walt Disney
Image
I have a great love of animals and laughter.
Walt Disney
Image
It's because I like you, I don't want to be with you. It's a complicated emotion.
Walt Disney
Image
The magic is as wide as a smile and as narrow as a wink, loud as laughter and quiet as a tear, tall as a tale and deep as emotion. So strong, it can lift the spirit. So gentle, it can touch the heart. It is the magic that begins the happily ever after.
Walt Disney

My imagination creates my reality.
Walt Disney
Image
All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.
Walt Disney
Image
The greatest moments in life are not concerned with selfish achievements, but rather with the things we do for others
Walt Disney
Image
The life and ventures of Mickey Mouse have been closely bound up with my own personal and professional life.
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.
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
Whatever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it they will want to come back and see you do it again and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do.
Walt Disney
Image
I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.
Walt Disney
Image
I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place...
Walt Disney
Image
Disneyland is something that will never be finished. It's something that I can keep developing. It will be a live, breathing thing that will need change. A picture is a thing, once you wrap it up and turn it over to Technicolor, you're through. Snow White is a dead issue with me. But I can change the park, because it's alive.

When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

Image
I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters - to make them personalities.

Believe in your dreams, no matter how impossible they seem.
