“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.” Walt Disney

“Adults are interested if you don’t play down to the little 2 or 3 year olds or talk down. I don’t believe in talking down to children. I don’t believe in talking down to any certain segment. I like to kind of just talk in a general way to the audience. Children are always reaching.” Walt Disney

“Crowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource – the minds of our children.” Walt Disney

“Every child is born blessed with a vivid imagination. But just as a muscle grows flabby with disuse, so the bright imagination of a child pales in later years if he ceases to exercise it.” Walt Disney

“You’re dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.” Walt Disney

“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 Jones’ 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.” Walt Disney

“I have long felt that the way to keep children out of trouble is to keep them interested in things.” Walt Disney

“I don’t believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn’t treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should.” Walt Disney

“I do not make films primarily for children. I make them for the child in all of us, whether he be six or sixty. Call the child innocence.” Walt Disney

We would like to wish Jana the owner of a very Happy Birthday. We hope you enjoy the parties in Walt Disney World this weekend.

“Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world.” Walt Disney

“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.” Walt Disney

“All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.” Walt Disney

“Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.” Walt Disney

“In our animation we must show only the actions and reactions of a character, but we must picture also with the action. . . the feeling of those characters.” Walt Disney

“I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters – to make them personalities.” Walt Disney

“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.” Walt Disney

“I think you have to know these fellows definitely before you can draw them. When you start to caricature a person, you can’t do it without knowing the person. Take Laurel and Hardy for example; everybody can see Laurel doing certain things because they know Laurel.” Walt Disney

“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.” Walt Disney

We got a new 5 star review!!! Thank you so much!!
