Throughout his storied career, Walt
0:06
never gave up despite the many
0:08
challenges along the way. For his
0:10
visionary work, he received hundreds of
0:13
awards from all corners of the globe,
0:16
more academy awards than any individual
0:18
in history, and the Presidential Medal
0:21
of Freedom for a lifetime of inspiring
0:24
others. He created dreams that live on
0:26
today for millions around the world. But
0:29
with all of that, when asked to name his
0:31
greatest reward, Walt's reply was
0:37
Well, are my greatest reward, I think,
0:38
is that uh I've been able to build this
0:42
wonderful organization
0:44
and uh also to have the the public uh
0:48
appreciate and accept what I've done all
0:50
these years. That that is a great
0:54
But all individuals are different. I had
0:56
a brother who who uh I really envied
0:59
because he was a mailman,
1:02
but he was the one that had all the fun.
1:04
He had himself a trailer and he used to
1:06
go off and go fishing and he didn't
1:08
worry about payrolls and heard stories.
1:10
He said have picture grossers or
1:13
anything and he he was the happy one. I
1:16
I always said he's the smart Disney.
1:22
You know, I was stumped one day when the
1:24
little boy asked, "Do you draw Mickey
1:26
Mouse?" And I had to admit, I do not
1:28
draw anymore. Well, then you think of
1:31
all the jokes and ideas. No, I said, "I
1:33
don't do that." Finally, he looked at me
1:36
and said, "Mr. Disney, just what do you
1:38
do?" Well, I said, "Sometimes I think of
1:41
myself as a little bee. I go from one
1:44
area of the studio to another and gather
1:46
pollen and sort of stimulate everybody.
1:49
I guess that's the job I do.
1:53
You know, there's a lot of satisfaction
1:54
in developing ideas into realities, but
1:58
there's really no secret about our
1:59
approach. We keep moving forward,
2:02
opening up new doors, doing new things
2:05
because we're curious, and curiosity
2:08
keeps leading us down new paths. We're
2:11
always exploring and experimenting.
2:13
We're interested in doing things that
2:15
are fun, in bringing pleasure and
2:17
especially laughter to people.
2:19
But I only hope that we never lose sight
2:23
It was all started by a mountain
