Advice from business-people is inapplicable to us science students most of the time.

Walt was an innovator first, businessman second.

Did you know he invented the multiplane camera that revolutionised the Animation industry?

Or perhaps that he insisted on having the pegs on the Animation Discs down the bottom where it was the standard at the time to have them up the top? This was so they could do rolling, a small change but a huge revolution at the time

Every chance he got he tried to push the envelope of what was possible - in fact, this nearly sent him broke in the early days.

I think if Walt was born in this century, you'd see the guy in Silicon Valley doing what a lot of us are trying to do now.

Anyay lastly, I think I should finish this off with another quote of his, which kind of underlines the point I'm trying to make.

"I don't make movies to make money. I make money to make movies"

- Walt Disney
