When We Do Fantasy, We Must Not Lose Sight Of Reality.

Most Of My Life I Have Done What I Wanted To Do. I Have Had Fun On The Job.

Or Heritage And Ideals, Our Code And Standards - The Things We Live By And Teach Our Children - Are Preserved Or Diminished By How Freely We Exchange Ideas And Feelings.

The Most Exciting And, By Far, The Most Important Part Of Our Florida Project, In Fact, The Heart Of Everything Well Be Doing In Disney World, Will Be Our Experimental Prototype City Of Tomorrow. We Call It Epcot.

Disneyland Would Be A World Of Americans, Past And Present, Seen Through The Eyes Of My Imagination--a Place Of Warmth And Nostalgia, Of Illusion And Color And Delight.

Laughter Is No Enemy To Learning

To The Youngsters Of Today, I Say "believe In The Future, The World Is Getting Better; There Still Is Plenty Of Opportunity." Why, Would You Believe It, When I Was A Kid I Thought It Was Already Too Late For Me To Make Good At Anything.

Nearly Everybody Gets Twitterpated In The Springtime. [. . . ] You Begin To Get Weak In The Knees. Your Head's In A Whirl. And Then You Feel Light As A Feather, And Before You Know It, You're Walking On Air. And Then You Know What? You're Knocked For A Loop, And You Completely Lose Your Head!

Adults Are Only Kids Grown Up

The Ideal Set-up Would Be The Story Man, The Director, And The Layout Man, As Well As Musician, Operating As A Sort Of Story Unit. They All Should Be Keenly Interested In The Picture. No One In Person Should Donate To An Extent Where He Would Keep The Others From Entering Into The Production And Freely Expressing Themselves.

Do What You Do So Well That Those Who See You Do What You Do Are Going To Come Back To See You Do It Again And Tell Others That They Should See You Do What You Do.

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.

No Matter What The Provocation, I Never Fire A Man Who Is Honestly Trying To Deliver A Job. Few Workers Who Become Established At The Disney Studio Ever Leave Voluntarily Or Otherwise, And Many Have Been On The Payroll All Their Working Lives.

I Don't Have Depressed Moods. I'm Happy, Just Very, Very Happy.

All Cartoon Characters And Fables Must Be Exaggeration, Caricatures. It Is The Very Nature Of Fantasy And Fable.

Exaggeration Is

Do What You Do So Well That They Will Want To See It Again And Bring Their Friends.

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.

Here Is The World Of Imagination, Hopes, And Dreams. In This Timeless Land Of Enchantment, The Age Of Chivalry, Magic And Make-believe Are Reborn - And Fairy Tales Come True. Fantasyland Is Dedicated To The Young-in-heart, To Those Who That When You Wish Upon A Star, Your Dreams Come True.

I Just Needed To Get Out On My Own, Live My Own Life. And I Did, And It's Great.

The Difference In The Profit And Loss Is Usually ... Do Not Quit.

The Idea Of Disneyland Is A Simple One. It Will Be A Place For People To Find Happiness And Knowledge.

We Love To Entertain Kings And Queens, But At Disneyland, Everyone Is A V.i.p.

Kings And Queens

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.

The More You Are Like Yourself, The Less You Are Like Anyone Else Which Makes You Unique. The Problem With Most People Is That They Spend Their Lives Trying To Emulate Others And So We Have Lots Of Copies But Few Originals.

The More You Like Yourself, The Less You Are Like Anyone Else, Which Makes You Unique.

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.

It's No Secret That We Were Sticking Just About Every Nickel We Had On The Chance That People Would Really Be Interested In Something Totally New And Unique In The Field Of Entertainment.

Disneyland Is A Work Of Love. We Didn't Go Into Disneyland Just With The Idea Of Making Money.

As The Original 'mary Poppins' Budget Of Five Million Dollars Continued To Grow, I Never Saw A Sad Face Around The Entire Studio. And This Made Me Nervous. I Knew The Picture Would Have To Gross 10 Million Dollars For Us To Break Even. But Still There Was No Negative Head-shaking. No Prophets Of Doom. Even Roy Was Happy. He Didn't Even Ask Me To Show The Unfinished Picture To A Banker. The Horrible Thought Struck Me - Suppose The Staff Had Finally Conceded That I Knew What I Was Doing.

Forever Is A Long Long Time And Time Has A Way Of Changing Things.

The Era We Are Living In Today Is A Dream Of Coming True.

If We Didn't Have Deadlines, We'd Stagnate.

The Same Thing Could Have Happened On Halloween If Somebody In The Neighborhood Had Jumped Out And Scared Him.

Money Doesn't Excite Me - My Ideas Excite Me.

You Know, The Only Way I've Found To Make These Pictures Is With Animators. You Can't Seem To Do It With Accountants And Bookkeepers.

Disneyland Is A Show.

Money-or Rather The Lack Of It To Carry Out My Ideas-may Worry Me, But It Does Not Excite Me.

I Have Watched Constantly That In Our Work The Highest Moral And Spiritual Standards Are Upheld, Whether My Productions Deal With Fable Or With Stories Of Living Action.

The Wonders Of Nature Are Endless.

Wonder Of Nature

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.

My Persistence Is The Measure Of The Belief I Have In Myself.

First, Think. Second, Believe. Third, Dream.and Finally, Dream.

Just Make Sure You Never Do Less Than Your Best

I Try To Build A Full Personality For Each Of Our Cartoon Characters - To Make Them Personalities.

Sometimes I Think Of Myself As A Little Bee. I Go From One Area Of The Studio To Another And Gather Pollen And Sort Of Stimulate Everybody. I Guess That’s The Job I Do.

When You Believe In A Thing, Believe In It All The Way, Implicitly And Unquestionably.

Disneyland Is Like A Piece Of Clay: If There Is Something I Don't Like, I'm Not Stuck With It. I Can Reshape And Revamp.

It Seems To Me Shallow And Arrogant For Any Man In These Times To Claim He Is Completely Self-made, That He Owes All His Success To His Own Unaided Efforts. Many Hands And Hearts And Minds Generally Contribute To Anyone's Notable Achievements.

Have Confidence In Your Ability To Do It Right, And Work Hard To Do The Best Possible Job.

Disneyland Is A Work Of Love...drawing Up Plans And Dreaming Of What I Could Do, Everything. It Was Just Something I Kind Of Kept Playing Around With.

We Don't Make Movies To Make Money, We Make Money To Make More Movies.

When We Consider A Project, We Really Study It-not Just The Surface Idea, But Everything About It. And When We Go Into That New Project, We Believe In It All The Way. We Have Confidence In Our Ability To Do It Right. And We Work Hard To Do The Best Possible Job.

Suddenly He Stops. He Looks Up. For, Lo, There She Stands. The Girl Of His Dreams. Who She Is Or Whence She Came, He Knows Not, Nor Does He Care For His Heart Tells Him That Here, Here Is The Maid Predestined To Be His Bride.

I Think Of A Child's Mind As A Blank Book. During The First Years Of His Life, Much Will Be Written On The Pages. The Quality Of That Writing Will Affect His Life Profoundly.

I Happen To Be Kind Of An Inquisitive Guy And When I See Things I Don't Like, I Start Thinking, Why Do They Have To Be Like This And How Can I Improve Them?

I Never Called My Work An 'art'. It's Part Of Show Business, The Business Of Building Entertainment.

I Definitely Feel That We Cannot Do The Fantastic Things Based On The Real, Unless We First Know The Real.

It Feels Good When It Helps To Get A Good Seat For A Football Game. But It Never Helped Me Make A Good Film Or A Good Shot In A Polo Game, Or Command The Obedience Of My Daughter. It Doesn

If You Can Visualize It, If You Can Dream It, There's Some Way To Do It.

I Am In No Sense Of The Word A Great Artist, Not Even A Great Animator; I Have Always Had Men Working For Me Whose Skills Were Greater Than My Own. I Am An Idea Man.

Of All Of Our Inventions For Mass Communication, Pictures Still Speak The Most Universally Understood Language.

Never Put Business Before Family.

The Flower That Blooms In Adversity Is The Rarest And Most Beautiful Of All.

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.

Leadership Shows Judgment, Wisdom, Personal Appeal And Proven Competence.

The Story Man Must See Clearly In His Own Mind How Every Piece Of Business Will Be Put Over. He Should Feel Every Expression, Every Reaction. He Get Far Enough From His Story To Take A Second Look At It... To See Whether There Is Any Dead Phase... To See Whether The Personalities Are Going To Be Interesting And Appealing To The Audience. He Should Also Try To See That The Things That His Characters Are Doing Are Of An Interesting Nature.

I Think It’s Important To Have A Good Hard Failure When You're Young. I Learned A Lot Out Of That. Because It Makes You Kind Of Aware Of What Can Happen To You. Because Of It I’ve Never Had Any Fear In My Whole Life When We’ve Been Near Collapse And All Of That. I’ve Never Been Afraid. I’ve Never Had The Feeling I Couldn’t Walk Out And Get A Job Doing Something.

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.

My Greatest Reward Is That I Have Been Able To Build This Wonderful Organization.

Once A Man Has Tasted Freedom He Will Never Be Content To Be A Slave. That Is Why I Believe That This Frightfulness We See Everywhere Today Is Only Temporary.

There Must Be So Much That I Should Have Said, But Haven't. What I Will Say Now Is Just What Most Of Us Are Probably Thinking Every Day. I Thank God And America For The Right To Live And Raise My Family Under The Flag Of Tolerance, Democracy And Freedom.

Animation Is Different From Other Parts. Its Language Is The Language Of Caricature. Our Most Difficult Job Was To Develop The Cartoon's Unnatural But Seemingly Natural Anatomy For Humans And Animals.

Disney Animation

Look, You're Really Cute, But I Can't Understand What You're Saying

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.

Think, Believe, Dream, And Dare.

I Thank God And America For The Right To Live And Raise My Family Under The Flag Of Tolerance, Democracy And Freedom.

I Have A Great Love Of Animals And Laughter.

The Inclination Of My Life...has Been To Do Things & Make Things Which Will Give Pleasure To People In New And Amazing Ways.

I Just Want To Leave You With This Thought, That It's Just Been Sort Of A Dress Rehearsal, And We're Just Getting Started. So If Any Of You Start Resting On Your Laurels, I Mean Just Forget It, Because...we Are Just Getting Started.

If You Act Like An Adult When You're A Kid You Can Afford To Act Like A Kid The Rest Of Your Life.

Rest Of Your Life

Think Beyond Your Lifetime, If You Want To Do Something Truly Great.

It Is A Curious Thing That The More The World Shrinks Because Of Electronic Communications, The More Limitless Becomes The Province Of The Storytelling Entertainer.

We Like To Have A Point Of View In Our Stories, Not An Obvious Moral, But A Worthwhile Theme. ... All We Are Trying To Do Is Give The Public Good Entertainment. That Is All They Want.

That's The Real Trouble With The World, Too Many People Grow Up.

Anything That Has The Disney Name To It Is Something We Feel Responsible For.

Let Your Heart Guide You...it Whispers So Listen Closely.

The American Child Is A Highly Intelligent Human Being - Characteristically Sensitive, Humorous, Open-minded, Eager To Learn, And Has A Strong Sense Of Excitement, Energy, And Healthy Curiosity About The World In Which He Lives. Lucky Indeed Is The Grown-up Who Manages To Carry These Same Characteristics Into Adult Life. It Usually Makes For A Happy And Successful Individual.

All Individuals Are Different. Some Of Us Just Wouldn't Be Satisfied With Just Carrying Out A Routine Job And Being Happy.

Just Remember, It All Started With A Mouse.

You Can't Just Let Nature Run Wild.

People Still Think Of Me As A Cartoonist, But The Only Thing I Lift A Pen Or Pencil For These Days Is To Sign A Contract, A Check, Or An Autograph.

You Think The Only People Who Are People, Are The People Who Look And Think Like You. But If You Walk The Footsteps Of A Stranger, You'll Learn Things You Never Knew You Never Knew.

If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It.

Why Be A Governor Or Senator When You Can Be King Of Disneyland?

Children Are People, And They Should Have To Reach To Learn About Things, To Understand Things, Just As Adults Have To Reach If They Want To Grow In Mental Stature.

I Love Mickey Mouse More Than Any Woman I Have Ever Known.

Disneyland Is Like Alice Stepping Through The Looking Glass; To Step Through The Portals Of Disneyland Will Be Like Entering Another World.

I Don't Know If It's Art, But I Know I Like It.

You Must Not Let Anyone Define Your Limits Because Of Where You Come From. Your Only Limit Is Your Soul.

I've Always Been Bored With Just Making Money. I've Wanted To Do Things; I Wanted To Build Things, To Get Something Going. What Money Meant To Me Was That I Was Able To Get Money To Do That For Me.

Mickey's A Nice Fellow Who Never Does Anyone Any Harm, Who Gets Into Scrapes Through No Fault Of His Own But Always Manages To Come Up Grinning.

The Human Species, Although Happily Ridiculous At Times, Is Still Reaching For The Stars.

Whatever We Accomplish Is Due To The Combined Effort.

Combined Effort

Everyone Falls Down. Getting Back Up Is How You Learn How To Walk.

I Always Like To Look On The Optimistic Side Of Life.

I Have No Use For People Who Throw Their Weight Around As Celebrities, Or For Those Who Fawn Over You Just Because You Are Famous.

It's Because I Like You, I Don't Want To Be With You. It's A Complicated Emotion.

Movies Are A Medium Of Expression Like A Symphony Orchestra...or A Painter's Brush And Canvas.

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.

When I Was Poor Living In A Garage In Kansas I Began To Draw The Mice That Scampered Over My Desk. That Is How Mickey Mouse Was Born.
