- If you were asked to choose the most fabulous character in English literature, who would it be? Robin Hood? King Arthur? Becky Sharp? Sherlock Holmes? Oliver Twist, perhaps? Well, any one of them would be an excellent choice. Still, for the most fabulous character of all, I would nominate...a toad - J. Thaddeus Toad, Esq. Have you ever met him? You'll find his story in this delightful little book, "The Wind In the Willows". Toad, you might say, was the one disturbing element: incurable adventurer, mad, reckless, tried everything, positive mania for fads, and he never countered the cost. Had a host affair with friends, of course, but there were only three who had his best interests at heart. One was a badger, MacBadger. Another was a water rat; a bit stuffy, perhaps, but really a fine fellow. And a mole; gentle creature, kind and sympathetic.

- Sometimes I think I'm cursed, 'cause of something that happened before I was even born. See, a long time ago, there was this family - the papá, he was a musician. He and his family would sing and dance, and count their blessings...but he also had a dream...to play for the world. And one day, he left with his guitar and never returned. And the mamá? She didn't have time to cry over that walkaway musician! After banishing all music from her life, she found a way to provide for her daughter. She rolled up her sleeves and she learned to make shoes. She could have made candy, or fireworks, or sparkly underwear for wrestlers! But no, she chose shoes. Then she taught her daughter to make shoes. And later, she taught her son-in-law. Then her grandkids got roped in. As her family grew, so did the business. Music had torn her family apart, but shoes held them all together. You see, the woman...was my great-great grandmother...Mama Imelda. She died way before I was born. But my family still tells her story...every year on Dia de los Muerto, The Day of the Dead...And her little girl? She's my great grandmother, Mama Coco.

- How do you do? My name is Deems Taylor, and it's my very pleasant duty to welcome you here on behalf of Walt Disney, Leopold Stokowski and all the other artists and musicians whose combined talents went into the creation of this new form of entertainment, Fantasia. What you're going to see are the designs and pictures and stories that music inspired in the minds and imaginations of a group of artists. In other words, these are not going to be the interpretations of trained musicians, which I think is all to the good. Now, there are three kinds of music on this Fantasia program. First, there's the kind that tells a definite story. Then there's the kind, that while it has no specific plot, does paint a series of more or less definite pictures. Then there's a third kind, music that exists simply for its own sake. Now, the number that opens our Fantasia program, the Toccata and Fugue, is music of this third kind, what we call absolute music. Even the title has no meaning beyond a description of the form of the music. What you will see on the screen is a picture of the various abstract images that might pass through your mind if you sat in a concert hall listening to this music. At first, you're more or less conscious of the orchestra, so our picture opens with a series of impressions of the conductor and the players. Then the music begins to suggest other things to your imagination. They might be, oh, just masses of color. Or they may be cloud forms. Or great landscapes or vague shadows or...geometrical objects floating in space. So now we present the Toccata and Fugue In D Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach, interpreted in pictures by Walt Disney and his associates, and in music by The Philadelphia Orchestra and its conductor, Leopold Stokowski.

Though many tried for the sword with all their strength, none could move the sword nor stir it. Then the miracle had not worked and England was yet without a word, and in time, the marvelous sword was forgotten. This was a dark age, without law and without order.

- Once upon a time, there was a young man who believed there was nothing more important than a wish. Not just any wish, of course. The one that drives your heart. The one that makes you who you are. But he also understood just how impossible it can be… to make that wish come true. How easily dreams can be destroyed. And so, he set out to do something about it. He studied the magic of the world tirelessly… and became a mighty sorcerer… able to protect from harm or ill will any wish given to him… and for the good and the worthy, even grant that wish. The sorcerer didn't know if the world would want his gift. But he and his loyal wife found the most perfect island… deep in the Mediterranean Sea. And there they built a kingdom like no other… where anyone, any family, no matter where they came from, were welcome.

101 Dalmatians film series
- My story begins in London, not so very long ago, and yet so much has happened since then, that it seems like an eternity. At that time, I lived with my pet in a bachelor flat just off of Regent's Park. It was a beautiful spring day, a tedious time of the year for bachelors. Oh, that's my pet, Roger Radcliffe, a musician of sorts. I'm the one with the spots. My name's Pongo. As far as I could see, the old notion that a bachelor's life was so glamorous and carefree was all nonsense. It was downright dull. It was plain to see that my old pet needed someone. But if it were left up to Roger, we'd be bachelors forever. He was married to his work, writing songs. Songs about romance of all things, something he knew absolutely nothing about. Oh, he's intelligent enough, as humans go. And I think you could say, Roger is a rather handsome animal in his way. I could see no reason why my pet didn't deserve an attractive mate. At least I was determined to do my best. Of course, dogs are a pretty poor judge of human beauty. But I had a rough idea of what to look for.

But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned to old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances for beauty was found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince tried to apologize but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous Beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle, and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form, the Beast concealed himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which will bloom until his twenty-first year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a Beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a Beast?

- Once upon a time in a faraway land, there was a tiny kingdom; peaceful, prosperous, and rich in romance and tradition. Here in a stately chateau, there lived a widowed gentleman, and his little daughter, Cinderella. Although he was a kind and devoted father, and gave his beloved child every luxury and comfort, still, he felt she needed a mother's care. And so he married again, choosing for his second wife, a woman of good family, with two daughters just Cinderella's age, by name, Anastasia and Drizella. It was upon the untimely death of this good man, however, that the stepmother's true nature was revealed: cold, cruel, and bitterly jealous of Cinderella's charm and beauty, she was grimly determined to forward the interests of her own two awkward daughters. Thus, as time went by, the chateau fell into disrepair, for the family fortunes were squandered upon the vain and selfish stepsisters while Cinderella was abused, humiliated, and finally forced to become a servant in her own house. And yet, through it all, Cinderella remained ever gentle and kind, for with each dawn she found new hope that someday her dreams of happiness would come true.

Wreck-It Ralph film series
- My name's Ralph, and I'm a bad guy. Uh, let's see...I'm 9 feet tall, I weigh 643 pounds, got a bit of a temper on me.
- (in-game) HEY!!! YOU MOVED MY STUMP!!!
- My passion level's very near the surface, I guess, not gonna lie. Anyhoo, what else, uh...I'm a wrecker, I wreck things, professionally.
- (in-game) I'M GONNA WRECK IT!!!
- I mean, I'm very good at what I do. Probably the best I know. Thing is, fixing's the name of the game, literally, Fix-It Felix Jr.
- (in-game) FIX IT FELIX!!!
- (in-game) I can fix it!
- So yeah, naturally, the guy with the name Fix-It Felix is the good guy, he's nice enough as good guys go, definitely fixes stuff really well. But, uh, if you got a magic hammer from your father, how hard can it be? If he was a regular contractor, carpenter guy, I guarantee you, you will not be able to fix the damage that I do as quickly. When Felix does a good job, he gets a medal. But, are there medals for wrecking stuff really well? To that, I say, ha, and no, there aren't. For thirty years I have been doing this, and I have seen a lot of other games come and go, it's kinda sad. Think about those guys at Asteroids, boom, gone. Centipede, who knows where that guy is, you know? Look, a steady arcade gig is nothing to sneeze at, I'm very lucky. It's just, I gotta say, it becomes kinda hard to love your job when no one seems to like you for doing it.
- All clear! The Arcade's closed!
- Shoryuken! Whew, what a day. You wanna head to Tapper's, Ken?
- If you're buying buddy.
- Quitting Time!
- I don't know, maybe I wouldn't be feeling this way if things were different after work, but it is what it is.
- Great work today, guys!
- Felix and the Nicelanders go hang out in their homes, which he's just fixed, and everyone, you know. They go to their homes, I go to mine which happens to be a dump and when I say "a dump", I don't mean like a shabby place, I mean an actual dump, where the garbage goes and a bunch of bricks and smashed building parts, that's what I call home. I guess I can't bellyache too much, I got my bricks, I got my stump, it looks uncomfortable, it's actually fine, I'm good. But, if I'm really honest with myself, I see Felix up there getting patted on the back, people giving him pie, thanking him and so happy to see him all the time, (spoken) sometimes I think, man, it sure must be nice being the good guy.
