Normally when we call people dreamers, we do not mean it as a compliment. We want them to get their heads out of the clouds, wake up and smell the coffee, be realistic. But there is no better word than “dreamer” to describe Walt Disney, the most influential and successful man in the history of media entertainment. And as far as he was concerned, there was no greater compliment we could have paid him.

“If you can dream it, you can do it,” he once said. Again, “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.” And make dreams come true is exactly what he did. Disney produced the first animated film with sound, the first animated color film, the first full length animated film, and the first film combining animation and live action. He was also a pioneer of feature productions for television and children’s television programming. And along the way he invented the theme park. He had many dreams, and he had the courage to make many of them come true.
By Disney’s own testimony, his dreams were spawned by his insatiable curiosity. “Ideas come from curiosity,” he observed. “When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.” Like inventing a talking mouse that took a nation by storm, winning 19 Academy Awards, and turning a Florida swamp into the greatest entertainment complex in the world.Author's Purpose Team Patton Iii
Disney’s curiosity caused him to wonder about everything he saw – why it worked the way it did, how it might work differently – and about things he didn’t see but only imagined – why they didn’t exist and what it would take to bring them about. He wondered and he dreamed and he acted. And he changed his world.
“Always remember that this whole thing started with a dream and a mouse.” – Walt Disney
