Remembering Walt Disney
December 15, 1966:
Walt’s untimely death occurred 10 days after his 65th birthday. His accomplishments were countless, his contributions extraordinary, and his legacy a source of joy and inspiration to the world. All from a man who once hoped that we never lose sight of one thing—that it all started with a mouse.
“The greatest wealth a man may acquire is the wisdom he gains from living. And sometimes, out of the small beginnings, come the forces that shape a whole life.”
— John Tucker Battle, screenwriter, So Dear to My Heart
“Walt never lost it… that wonderful fascination you have with things when you’re a child… the sense of wonder that there’s always more to learn, always more to see and do. And, Walt certainly had that, and he passed that on to all of us.”
-- Floyd Norman, animator
“He was just an ordinary man, with the most extraordinary talent of making you feel that you were important, whereas in actual fact he was the one. He was the driving force that made you come alive.”
-- Peter Ellenshaw, matte artist
