Inscription.
Walt Disney once said, "We should never forget that it was all started by a mouse." But we at The Walt Disney Company know it was all started by a man. He was born 100 years ago today, but his legacy as a storyteller and entertainer lives on... it urges us all to continue the work... to make the magic fresh and new... for young and old, for generations to come.
