Disney was not a good animator, he didn't draw well at all, but he was always a great idea man, and a good writer.

Look what Disney's done to their animation department. There wasn't an animator in charge of their animation unit!

The whole Disney thing is really interesting, in a way, how that's so permeated life and the world and the planet.

I do what I do because of Walt Disney - his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining.

Romance is dead - it was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized, and sold off piece by piece.

I also love Disney, and will defend doing so, because there's so much in those films and I don't care if it's stereotyped.

I'm saddened to see that some have been misled into believing that Mr. Disney was something other than a kind, caring man.

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.

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.

Disney world

Disney world is my favourite world,
Packed with funny toons,
Micky, Minnie, Donald, Daisy,
Goofy and Pluto are a boon!

Lizzie McGuire, a cool teenager,
Raven Baxter is the best,
Zack and Cory, the awesome twins,
Are really amazing from the rest.

Power Rangers Mystic Force,
Is an all time favourite show,
Dhoom Machaao Dhoom is a show to which,
We can never say a ‘no’.

Vicky and Veetal are very naughty,
Lilo is loved by everyone,
Hannah Montana rocks the stage,
Disney world is one in a million!

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

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.

Poems What I Wrote

Invited by a local School
To read my poems out,
The children giggled at the fool
And thus caused me to doubt,
But I pressed on, towards the end
Of each one that I did,
I then looked up to find one friend,
Yet not one single kid...

But I pressed on, not giving in,
Concisely as before...
And thinking somehow I would win,
Each snore I could ignore...
I must admit I sighed a bit,
You know what children are...
Yet I continued with true grit,
My last one wasn't far...

So I pressed on and read it proud,
Each word defiantly!

Is Walt turning over in his grave? A man named Joe Roth runs Disney right now-he gave me the go-ahead and total freedom to do whatever I wanted to do.

I just recently did a film with Disney, and they put the drawings straight on the computer. And it's all painted on the computer now and not by hand anymore.

We've been able to access deals that under our former relationship with Disney - with tax advantages and strategic partners - that we just weren't able to do.

If there's a Disney animated feature based in Hawaii, I knew I had to be part of it. I'm very proud to be from Hawaii. There was no question the role was mine.

The only one that seems to be able to hold the business is Disney. They do it is because they have a fabulous philosophy about marketing- but even they wavered.
