Usually, family films have characters speaking with each other with much dignity and respect Picture Quote #1

I do what I do because of Walt Disney - his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining Picture Quote #1

It’s a certain kind of immortality, because those Disney films do go on and on and on Picture Quote #1
