Walt Disney's Word of Wisdom

By Danyel R Frazier


Right through history there have been some great people whose words remain as memorable today, as they were long ago; interestingly a number of Disney quotes sre known to be amongst all of the wisdom.

There are undoubtedly numerous Disney movies that you may be able to quote lines from, but would it surprise you to realize that a large number of the Disney quotes are as relevant today as they ever were?

Of course there is the Disney quotes like; "How could I have been so stupid?" This could easily ruin the business!" from the movie Monsters Inc. this is not a good example of Disney quotes that is appropriate give the condition of the economy in the late 2000's. Whereas from Finding Nemo, "Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming; are you my conscience?" seems extremely appropriate today, because, what do we do? We swim, swim, and we swim.

Walt Disney was a man way ahead of most contemporaries, with his futuristic concepts, and his clear understanding of people, evident in the theme parks he created. A great many Walt Disney quotes highlight the insight of the man.

Walt Disney was not responsible for writing all of the classics that came out of the Disney studios, but anyone who has been able to read some of the original stories, would know that the material has been substantially edited. We know though that the Disney quotes would not have been in the stories if he did not approve of them, and what they meant to the people that would hear them.

For anyone lucky enough, yes, that also includes 'old enough'; to have seen the weekly shows where Walt Disney would introduce the stories, as well as talk at the end, you'll know that there were many wonderful Disney quotes that are now covered by the mists of time, and not as well known as those in the movies, but these Walt Disney quotes are just as important.

In the future then, whenever you find yourself in hysterics watching Donald Duck's latest slip ups, or you are listening intently to the words Merlin spoke in "The Sword and The Stone", have a closer listen to the wonderful Disney quotes and see how closely they might apply to your own life.

So, to quote a wise old bear 'When you go after honey with a balloon, the great thing is not to let the bees know you're coming.' I know, I'm not too sure how that applies to this article, at the moment, but it'll come.
