Walt Disney

Direct and easy communications — freedom of speech in all forms and in its broadest sense — has become vital to the very survival of a civilized humanity.
Walt Disney

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.

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.

A good ending is vital to a picture, the single most important element, because it is what the audience takes with them out of the theater.
Walt Disney
Image
There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island...
Walt Disney

Sheer animated fantasy is still my first and deepest production impulse.
Walt Disney

Both my study of Scripture and my career in entertaining children have taught me to cherish them.
Walt Disney
Image
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.

Adults are only kids grown up
Walt Disney

I don't think there's a thing I own that I will ever get the benefit of except through doing things with it.
Walt Disney

The immediate need for education and practice in using our natural resources of soil, forest, water, wildlife and areas of inspirational beauty to the best advantage of all, for this generation and others to come, is again apparent to every observant citizen.
