When it comes to classic Disney, I've got it in my DNA. I mean, the guy who trained me, the man who mentored me when I first came to the Studio was Eric Larson, one of Walt's Nine Old Men.
I really love 'Pocahontas.' Today I was watching 'Aladdin.' It's a classic; you can't beat it.
When I was a kid, Disney was one of my gods. I just loved movies like 'Snow White' and 'Pinocchio.'
I think 'Wreck-It Ralph' can stand proudly in the pantheon of the great Disney animated films. It's a fairy tale disguised as something more contemporary. With its balance of heart and comedy, it is still very much rooted in the Disney legacy.
I wanted to make an unashamed pop record. I became obsessed with Disney soundtracks from the '50s, so I decided to make my own.
The Parent Trap wouldn't have been as special without the remarkable performances by Hayley Mills.
I love soundtracks to movies and am always touched by the music if it's good. The music in some old Disney movies, like 'Pinocchio,' 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Peter Pan' really gets to me.
I honestly thought that 'Tangled' was going to be my Disney legacy.
I'd like to just say that there's nothing darker than 'Old Yeller' and 'Bambi' and some of the early Disney stuff.
I like old Disney films that have an edge to them.
I never quite understood why Disney hadn't made a sincere fairy tale since 'Beauty and the Beast.'
