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.
”
