Walt Disney Quotes About Mickey Mouse
Mickey Mouse held a special place in the heart of Walt Disney. Here are some quotes where he talks about his special animated mouse.
He popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when the business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb, and disaster seemed right around the corner.
Born of necessity, the little fellow literally freed us of immediate worry. He provided the means for extending our organisation to its present dimensions and for extending the medium of cartoon animation to new entertainment levels. He spelled production liberation for us.
I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing—that it was all started by a mouse.
The life and ventures of Mickey Mouse have been closely bound up with my own personal and professional life. It is understandable that I should have sentimental attachment for the little personage who played so big a part in the course of Disney Productions and has been so happily accepted as an amusing friend wherever films are shown around the world. He still speaks for me and I still speak for him.
When people laugh at Mickey Mouse, it’s because he’s so human and that is the secret of his popularity.
I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.
Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end.
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.
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.
When I was poor, living in a garage in Kansas, I began to draw the mice that scampered over my desk. This is how Mickey Mouse was born.
I often find myself surprised at what has been said about our redoubtable little Mickey, who was never really a mouse. not yet wholly a man – although always recognizably human.
