It has that thing, the imagination, and the feeling of happy excitement, I knew when I was a kid.
Your dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.
It's something that will never be finished. Something that I can keep developing and adding to.
Disneyland is a show.
Biggest problem? Well, I'd say it's been my biggest problem all my life. Money. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true. From the very start it was a problem. Getting the money to open Disneyland. About seventeen million it took. And we had everything mortgaged including my personal insurance.
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.
I am not influenced by the techniques or fashions of any other motion picture company.
I take great pride in the artistic development of cartoons. Our characters are made to go through emotions which a few short years ago would have seemed impossible to secure with a cartoon character. Some of the action produced in the finished cartoon of today is more graceful than anything possible for a human to do.
We felt that the public, and especially the children, like animals that are cute and little. I think we are rather indebted to Charlie Chaplin for the idea. We wanted something appealing, and we thought of a tiny bit of a mouse that would have something of the wistfulness of Chaplin: a little fellow trying to do the best he could.
You reach a point where you don't work for money.
