Quote context

[...]

- Jacob Grimm was a very learned man, a scientist. You'd hardly think he'd go in for fairy tales.

- But just as a hobby, he and his brother collected a lot of old folk stories and legends, put them into a book, and called the book Grimm's Fairy Tales.

- In their written form, Walt, fairy tales are supposedly only for children. But when you bring one to the screen, it captivates everyone.

- Age, language, race make no difference. What's the secret?

- Well, here's half an answer.

- Over at our place we're sure of just one thing: everybody in the world was once a child. We grow up, our personalities change, but in every one of us, something remains of our childhood.

- You mean that's a common denominator?

- That just about sums it up.

- The same level you speak of knows nothing of sophistication and distinction.

- It's where all of us are simple and naive, without prejudice and bias. We're friendly and trusting.

- And it just seems to me that if your picture hits that spot in one person, it's going to hit that same spot in almost everybody.

- So, in planning a new picture, we don't think of grown-ups and we don't think of children, but just of that fine, clean, unspoiled spot down deep in every one of us that maybe the world has made us forget and that maybe our pictures can help recall.
