pulled stay stops
Stay at the end of the credits. I pulled out the stops on the credits.
came films walt watched year
Look at the films of Walt Disney: 'Snow White' came out in February 1938, and I can't think of another film from that year that's watched as much. The same is true of 'Bambi,' 'Dumbo'... even, frankly, 'Toy Story,' which is probably watched more than any other movie of 1995.
disney entertain films lights moment promise work
I promise you we will make films that entertain you the moment the lights go down. We're making Disney the one place you have to work (as an animator).
beauty disney fairy quite since sincere tale understood
I never quite understood why Disney hadn't made a sincere fairy tale since 'Beauty and the Beast.'
In an animated film you can do whatever you want, but that doesn't mean you should do everything you want.
I don't really think of myself as a businessman at all. That's why I have the 'chief creative officer' role.

I do what I do because of Walt Disney. Goofy. Mickey Mouse. I never forgot how their films entertained me.

I laugh very hard at work every day.

If you've seen 'Spirited Away', 'Spirited Away' is set in a very, very Japanese sensibility. And so, to Japanese audiences, when Sen would walk up, the main character, and look at this big building with a flag on it with Japanese writing on it, everyone in Japan would know what that is.
designing great months motion pictures promise ride start understood
I never understood why you wouldn't start designing a ride when you start making a film so two months after a film comes out you have a ride. I promise you we are not only going to make great motion pictures we are going to make great rides.

I had been working nonstop through the '90s ... and my wife Nancy said, 'Be careful, your boys may go off to college and you will have missed it.
came mediocre pixar proud reviews
I'm really proud of 'Cars.' 'Cars,' when it first came out, got probably the most mediocre reviews of a Pixar film.
dirt level looks
The level of detail, the patina on the road, the peeling paint, the dirt - everything looks so real.
