What about Mickey Mouse? Disney tried very hard to make him a star. But Mickey Mouse is more of a symbol than a real character.

I remember seeing my first Disney film when I was 13 or 14. It was 'Jungle Book,' and I remember really falling in love with it.

I'm glad Metro Station didn't turn out like Jonas Brothers. They need a Disney movie to become famous. Our songs overpower that.

The great dream merchant Disney was a success because make-believe was what everyone seemed to need in a spiritually empty land.

I had the great good fortune to interview Peggy Lee. Her memories of working with Walt Disney and his team were warm and upbeat.

Every parent, no matter how cultured or sophisticated, will one day succumb to a child's pleas to visit Walt Disney World Resort.

Being that my name is attached to Disney, especially when it comes to social media, I always have to be careful with what I post.

'That's So Raven' was my favorite show growing up! I loved Raven so much! That show is what made me want to be on Disney Channel!

I worked on new plays at the Traverse and did my best work in Scotland for years, so I never had ambitions for things like Disney.

Walt Disney had a nuclear imagination before the advent of nuclear, some comprehension of apocalypse and rapture deep in his genes.

I share something in common with Norman Rockwell and, for that matter, with Walt Disney, in that I really like to make people happy.

Disney produces fabulous movies around certain characters, and then they commercialize that engagement through toys, books, cruises.

Then, as now, the Disney studio buzzed with activity. You had a strong impression of being at the center of something very exciting.

Disney movies are a great outing for the entire family, and my children are huge fans of their classics, especially 'The Lion King.'

Anything that has to do with Disney and Pixar, I am on board with. That is where my heart and family are. So when they call, I jump.

Music has been of central importance to Disney movies for as long as I can remember. To contribute to that legacy, is a great honor.

I've made six films for Disney, and they have a clause in their contracts called the morality clause that I've always refused to sign.

You may debate whether the Disney heroines fit the feminist standard, but they don't live in a democracy. Remember, they're princesses.

For many of us, our proms were less Walt Disney's 'Cinderella' and more Stephen King's 'Carrie.' The less we spent on them, the better.

Disney is a place that I've always rooted for, and I think the audience does also because we have a deep, deep love for what that means.

It's really important to have subjects that people all over the world are familiar with, and the Disney films are really great that way.

I have my sweetheart Yorkshire terrier, Tabasco, along with two cats, Romeo and Jasmine. Yes, I am both a Shakespeare and Disney addict.

Disney made a fortune out of inventing the businessman's idea of the imaginary as the contradictory of the businessman's idea of the real.

Too many of Disney animators, and a lot try to emulate Disney, are trying to hit what they call quality levels. They're boring mannerisms.

I couldn't watch 'Harry Potter,' 'Lord of the Rings,' 'House'... I was like strictly a 'SpongeBob,' Disney Channel, Nickelodeon kinda guy.

Winnie the Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood are among the most entertaining and beloved characters ever animated by Disney.

When Walt Disney was making his films, he trusted his instincts and made films for himself, but they appealed to everybody, not just kids.

That was my dream to be on a Disney show. So it was weird to suddenly getting stopped by kids my own age and getting recognized by people.

Walt Disney was a master of the human psychology. His sense of timing, sense of speed. In a sense, those cartoons are like Rorschach tests.

People go to Disney because they know its brand attributes. We believe we have an opportunity to go with our content directly to consumers.

I know people look at the Disney Channel as... a specific thing. But all the actors from 'Austin and Ally' - honestly, they're really good.

Let me tell you one thing: there is no more cutthroat place to be than an independent film. Disney is a cakewalk after that - that is no lie.

Walt Disney wasn't making films for kids. Neither were the Muppets. A lot of the great, really cool films, they weren't making them for kids.

Unfortunately, as obsessed as I am with all of those Grimm's slash Disney princesses, I do think women have evolved socially in so many ways.

Growing up, I always loved Disney movies, but the first movie I remember seeing is 'Sleepers,' so I wasn't really taken to children's movies.

My ideal night for me, personally, is watching Disney movies and drinking a glass of wine by myself in the hotel room. That's my ideal night.

The first movie I ever saw in the cinema was Walt Disney's 'Pinocchio,' upon its 1984 re-release, which would have put me at three years old.

Everyone at Junction Point has been inspired by the creative folks at Pixar and Disney Feature Animation to make 'entertainment for everyone.'

After I started being able to grow a beard, I was obviously done at Disney - until I'm old enough to be a parent or an annoying older brother.

I love Disney. I know that some Disney stars want to break out of the Disney mold, but no, if they let me, I would work with Disney until I die.

I have about 4 albums of Disney songs, but the embarrassing part is that I know each song word for word, and have dances choreographed for most.

I can speak to my experience and say that CalArts worked out very well for me. After CalArts, I went to Cartoon Network, and then came to Disney.

My greatest joy is seeing parents and kids playing Disney 'Epic Mickey' together, handing the controllers back and forth, helping each other out.

I always wanted to be a character when I worked at Disney, but I wasn't short enough for certain characters, and I wasn't tall enough for others.

I have so many aspirations and interests that would not fit within the Disney brand. I need to make sure I'm engaging those proclivities as well.

Don't get me wrong: I love 'Moana!' But when it gets to the point where you find yourself singing Disney songs in your dreams, you have an issue.

I certainly did not envisage making a Disney movie. The most I hoped for was to be able to pay my bills. I was not a go-getter. I was very type-B.

I actually worked for a small company in Ohio that sort of farmed out work from Disney and Dreamworks, so I really only ever worked in two studios.

As a kid growing up in Southern California, I was a frequent visitor to the Disneyland and developed a deep love of the magic and wonder of Disney.

I think everyone is introduced to the Peter Pan story when they're very young. Everyone has read the book and watched the Disney film and all that.
