That's the problem.
Getting the point:
"You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway." - - Walt Disney
"Part of the Disney success is our ability to create a believable world of dreams that appeals to all age groups. The kind of entertainment we create is meant to appeal to every member of the family." - - Walt Disney
"We try it in everything we do here, you know... for the family. We don't actually make films for children. But we make films that children can enjoy along with their parents." - - Walt Disney
"Adults are interested if you don't play down to the little two or three year olds or talk down. I don't believe in talking down to children. I don't believe in talking down to any certain segment. I like to kind of just talk in a general way to the audience. Children are always reaching." - - Walt Disney
"I think of a newborn baby's mind as a blank book. During the first years of his life much will be written on the pages. The quality of the writing, whatever it will be, will affect his life profoundly. Let us multiply that single mind by millions. What is written on that enormity of youthful minds will alter the course of the world. This is how history is determined. It is self-evident to anybody who studies the history of the human races." - - Walt Disney
"You can't live on things made for children - or for critics. I've never made films for either of them. Disneyland is not just for children. I don't play down. - - Walt Disney
"All you've got to do is own up to your ignorance honestly, and you'll find people who are eager to fill your head with information." - - Walt Disney
Anybody want to break this news to TDA employees?
