That song from Pinocchio, 'When You Wish Upon a Star,' is the perfect summary of Walt's approach to life: dream big dreams, even hopelessly impossible dreams, because they really can come true. Sure, it takes work, focus and perseverance. But anything is possible. Walt proved it with the impossible things he accomplished."1 It is well documented that Walt Disney had big dreams and made several large gambles to propel his visions. From the creation of Steamboat Willie in 1928 to the first color feature film, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” in 1937, and the creation of Disneyland in Anaheim, CA during the 1950’s, Disney risked his personal assets as well as his studio to build a reality from his dreams. While Walt Disney passed away in the mid 1960’s, his quote, “If you can dream it, you can do it,”2 still resonates in the corporate world and operations of The Walt Disney Company.

Pelkey/Computer History Museum Interview of Judith Estrin and William Carrico Judith Estrin: My interaction with networking actually started, to a small degree, when I was at UCLA, because UCLA was one of the original nodes on the Arpanet, and I guess you've spoken to Len Kleinrock; he was at UCLA at the time. I did a lot of reading. At the time I didn't know whether I was going to continue at UCLA for my graduate work or go to Stanford, so I started reading about Arpanet. I wasn't directly involved, as much as I just began to get interested in that. Then, when I went to Stanford, I worked for Vint Cerf on the original TCP/IP program. James Pelkey: Now this was 1974? Estrin: This was 1975, and Carl Sunshine and Yogen Dalal had already, with Vint Cerf, done the initial TCP/IP specifications, and was part of Carl Sunshine's doctoral thesis, and they were -- they had the protocol specified, and there were some initial implementations done and they were at the point of actually doing testing with it. The main thing I was involved in was actually writing test tools and actually exercising the TCP/IP protocols. I did a lot of work with the guys at the University of London, testing back and forth between Stanford and there and BBN. So that was kind of at the tail end of the specification.

It’s wonderful to be with you here at this beautiful and historic Paramount Theatre. Page 1 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders March 10, 2009 Yesterday, Disney’s board had the pleasure of visiting Pixar in nearby Emeryville to review the great projects they’ve been working on and to get a glimpse of what they have in store for the future. This was, in fact, the first time many of us on the Board had visited Pixar since it became part of Disney back in May 2006. That acquisition was, in my view, one of the most important in Disney’s history. It brought with it a group of remarkably creative and talented men and women and of course a host of memorable films and characters that we all know, like The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc. and A Bug’s Life. Bob Iger’s bold decision to do that, and it was a big one, supported by the Board, to make this major investment is, I can tell you, already starting to pay off in many ways. You can, if you visit Orlando, already see Pixar characters at Disney World, including the great new attractions Toy Story Mania! and Finding Nemo, and new attractions are being built as we speak at Disneyland around Cars and Radiator Springs.
