Why do we have to grow up? I know more adults who have the children's approach to life. They're people who don't give a hang what the Joneses do. You see them at Disneyland every time you go there. They are not afraid to be delighted with simple pleasures, and they have a degree of contentment with what life has brought - sometimes it isn't much, either.
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.
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.
Just remember, it all started with a mouse.
I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters - to make them personalities.
I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.
Togetherness, for me, means teamwork. In my business of motion pictures and television entertainment, many minds and skillful hands must collaborate...T he work seeks to comprehend the spiritual and material needs and yearnings of gregarious humanity. It makes us reflect how completely dependent we are upon one another in our social and commercial life.
We love to entertain kings and queens, but at Disneyland, everyone is a V.I.P.
I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it.
[Mickey Mouse] He popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.
We're not trying to entertain the critics ... I'll take my chances with the public.
When I was a kid, a book I read advised young artist to be themselves. That decided it for me. I was a corny kind of guy, so I went in for corn.
In bad times and in good I've never lost my sense of zest for life.
Anything that has the Disney name to it is something we feel responsible for.
All individuals are different. Some of us just wouldn't be satisfied with just carrying out a routine job and being happy.
I just make what I like - warm and human stories, ones about historic characters and events, and about animals. If there is a secret, I guess it's that I never make the pictures too childish, but always try to get in a little satire of adult foibles.
Whenever I go on a ride, I'm always thinking of what's wrong with the thing and how it can be improved.
I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now.
I'm doing this because I want to do it better.
I'm just corny enough to like to have a story hit me over the heart.
I don't pretend to know anything about art. I make pictures for entertainment, and then the professors tell me what they mean.
Growing up isn't simply getting old... Growing up is when you don't believe anymore.
You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.
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.
While the worriers are worrying, the planners are planning and the accountants are figuring out why we can't afford it, I'm busy getting started.
