Congratulations for Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Studio!!!

“Up” has won two categories of Golden Globe awards. In “The Best Animation Feature Film” category, “Up” has defeated its competitor such as “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”, “Fantastic Mr. Fox”, “Coraline”, and other Walt Disney movie, “Princess and the Frog”.

While in “The Best Original Score” category, Michael Giacchino as the composer of “Up” has defeated James Horner from the-best-movie-winner “Avatar”, and other composers in other movies; “The Informant!”, “A Single Man”, and “Where The Wild Things Are”.

Good job! Once again, congratulations! Well, the journey which has been done by Carl, Russel, Kevin, and Dug has brought them success, although it cost a house and a GPS (lol).

Once again, congratulations! We’ll always love your movies… Can’t wait to see your other movies…

Walt Disney on Progress & Innovation

“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.”

I can’t imagine life without Mickey Mouse and friends. It would be so dull and boring, no imagination at all…

Walt Disney on Mickey Mouse

“The life and ventures of Mickey Mouse have been closely bound up with my own personal and professional life.
It is understandable that I should have sentimental attachment for the little personage who played so big a part in the course of Disney Productions and has been so happily accepted as an amusing friend wherever films are shown around the world. He still speaks for me and I still speak for him.“

Walt Disney on Film & Animation

“From years of experience I have learned
what could legitimately be added to increase the thrills and delights of a fairy tale without violating the moral and meaning of the original. Audiences have confirmed this unmistakably. We define the heroines and heroes more vividly; add minor characters to help carry the story line; virtually create such immortal friends of the heroine as the Seven Dwarfs. Storywise, we sharpen the decisive triumph of good over evil with our valiant knights-the issues which represent our moral ideals. We do it in a romantic fashion, easily comprehended by children. In this respect, moving pictures are more potent than volumes of familiar words in books.”

I watch Snow White when I was little and fell in love with it…

Walt Disney on Film & Animation
“To think six years ahead-even two or three-in this business of making animated cartoon features,
it takes calculated risk and much more than blind faith in the future of theatrical motion pictures. I see motion pictures as a family-founded institution closely related to the life and labor of millions of people. Entertainment such as our business provides has become a necessity, not a luxury. Curiously, it offers us the greatest reassurance about the future in the animation field. Fantasy, when properly done in the one medium best adapted to its nature, need never go stale for the family taste.”

Walt Disney on The Parks
“Here you leave today - and visit the worlds of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.
”

If you visit Disneyland, you can find this quote…

Walt Disney on Family

“People are always analyzing our approach to entertainment.
Some reporters have called it the ’special secret’ of Disney entertainment. Well, we like a little mystery in our films, but there’s really no secret about our approach. We’re interested in doing things that are fun-in bringing pleasure and especially laughter to people. And we have never lost our faith in family entertainment-stories that make people laugh, stories about warm and human things, stories about historic characters and events, and stories about animals.”

Walt Disney on Business & the Walt Disney company
“There’s a great feeling of satisfaction in winning an award for a job well done,
whether it be for winning a footrace, designing a rocket, or making a motion picture. Now we haven’t done too well with the first two on the list, but pictures, that’s something else. No one person can take credit for the success of a motion picture. It’s strictly a team effort. From the time the story is written to the time the final release print comes off the printer, hundreds of people are involved-each one doing a job-each job contributing to the final product. And, if the picture wins an award, the feeling of satisfaction we were speaking of can rightfully be shared by each and every one.”
Walt Disney Timeline

Walt Disney on Film & Animation
“Reporters are always analyzing our approach to entertainment,
but there’s no magic formula. I just make what I like-warm and human stories, and 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. Also, we do everything our own way, for ourselves, with no outside interference. We stay close to the fundamentals of family entertainment and recreation, and have complete voice in the marketing.”
