Walt Disney/Quotes
He was a storyteller—a showman—a dreamer—a genius.—Film critic Leonard Maltin, The Disney Films

"To do the things I wanted to do, I needed better artists. A cartoonist is not the same as an artist. A cartoonist knows the shortcuts and tricks--how to do things in a hurry. His work might have been comic, but it wasn't convincing. The cartoonist had to learn about art. So i sent the boys to [art] school. Some of them hated it and wouldn't go along; most of those fell by the wayside as the studio progressed. But the top men at the studio today are largely those who went through the Disney school."
