Walt Disney
Data di nascita: 5. Dicembre 1901
Data di morte: 15. Dicembre 1966
Walter Elias "Walt" Disney è stato un animatore, imprenditore, regista e produttore cinematografico statunitense. Annoverato come uno dei principali cineasti del XX secolo, riconosciuto come il padre dei film d'animazione, Walt Disney ha inoltre creato Disneyland, il primo e più famoso dei parchi a tema.
Walt Disney è altresì noto per la sua grande abilità nella narrazione di storie, per essere stato una grande star televisiva e uno dei più grandi artisti del XX secolo nel campo dell'intrattenimento; il suo contributo più grande alla settima arte risiede però probabilmente nell'aver portato allo stato dell'arte il rapporto fra immagine e musica. Con i suoi collaboratori ha creato molti dei più famosi personaggi dei cartoni animati del mondo; uno di questi, Topolino, è secondo molti il suo alter ego. Inoltre detiene tutt'oggi il record di nomination di suoi film all'Oscar . Walt Disney ha inoltre vinto il David di Donatello per il miglior produttore straniero nel 1956 per Lilli e il vagabondo.
In tutta la sua carriera artistica ha vinto 26 Premi Oscar dato che fa di lui il più premiato della storia e un David di Donatello.

„Amo Topolino più di qualsiasi donna abbia mai conosciuto.“
— Walt Disney
citato in Daniela Castelli, il Citazionario n. 1, Simonelli Editore, 2012
„Quando i ragazzi si mettono in gravi pasticci, generalmente la colpa è dei genitori, non dei figli. Se, quando succede qualcosa di spiacevole, si va a fondo nella questione, si scopre generalmente che c'è qualcosa che non va nella famiglia. In troppi casi sono i genitori ad aver problemi e bisogno di aiuto.“
— Walt Disney

„Credevo che Disneyland fosse unica al mondo, invece ora ho visto l'originale.“

„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.“
— Walt Disney
Context: 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.
Stating that the development of the Mickey Mouse character was inspired by Charlie Chaplin's character "the Tramp", as quoted in How to Be Like Walt : Capturing the Disney Magic Every Day of Your Life (2004) by Pat Williams and Jim Denney, p. 52
„Fantasy, if it's really convincing, can't become dated, for the simple reason that it represents a flight into a dimension that lies beyond the reach of time.“
— Walt Disney
Context: Fantasy, if it's really convincing, can't become dated, for the simple reason that it represents a flight into a dimension that lies beyond the reach of time. In this new dimension, whatever it is, nothing corrodes or gets run down at the heel or gets to look ridiculous like, say, the celluloid collar or the bustle.
As quoted in "The Rides of Passage" in Via magazine (July 2005)
„All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me…“
— Walt Disney
Context: All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
As quoted in The Story of Walt Disney (1957)
„I told her that was just the point — mine wouldn't be.“
— Walt Disney
Context: When I started on Disneyland, my wife used to say, "But why do you want to build an amusement park? They're so dirty." I told her that was just the point — mine wouldn't be.

„All we ever intended for him or expected of him was that he should continue to make people everywhere chuckle with him and at him.“
— Walt Disney
Context: All we ever intended for him or expected of him was that he should continue to make people everywhere chuckle with him and at him. We didn't burden him with any social symbolism, we made him no mouthpiece for frustrations or harsh satire. Mickey was simply a little personality assigned to the purposes of laughter.

„The worst of us is not without innocence, although buried deeply it might be.“
— Walt Disney
Context: I do not make films primarily for children. I make them for the child in all of us, whether we be six or sixty. Call the child "innocence". The worst of us is not without innocence, although buried deeply it might be. In my work I try to reach and speak to that innocence, showing it the fun and joy of living; showing it that laughter is healthy; showing it that the human species, although happily ridiculous at times, is still reaching for the stars.

„EPCOT will be an experimental prototype community of tomorrow that will take its cue from the new ideas and new technologies that are now emerging from the creative centers of American industry. It will be a community of tomorrow that will never be completed, but will always be introducing and testing and demonstrating new materials and systems.“
— Walt Disney
Context: EPCOT will be an experimental prototype community of tomorrow that will take its cue from the new ideas and new technologies that are now emerging from the creative centers of American industry. It will be a community of tomorrow that will never be completed, but will always be introducing and testing and demonstrating new materials and systems. And EPCOT will always be a showcase to the world for the ingenuity and imagination of American free enterprise.
