When Walt Disney was making his films, he trusted his instincts and made films for himself, but they appealed to everybody, not just kids.
Look at the films of Walt Disney: 'Snow White' came out in February 1938, and I can't think of another film from that year that's watched as much. The same is true of 'Bambi,' 'Dumbo'... even, frankly, 'Toy Story,' which is probably watched more than any other movie of 1995.
Walt Disney always said, 'For every laugh, there should be a tear.' I believe in that.
'Bolt' was made by Walt Disney Animation Studios, not by Pixar.
The Walt Disney Animation studio is the studio that Walt Disney started himself in 1923, and it's never stopped and never closed its doors and never stopped making animation, and it keeps going as kind of the heart and soul of the company.
I do what I do because of Walt Disney. Goofy. Mickey Mouse. I never forgot how their films entertained me.
