Summary:
"
Walt
Disney
once said of
Marc
Davis
, "
Marc
can do story, he can do character, he can animate, he can design shows for me. All I have to do is tell him what I want and it'
s
there! He'
s
my
Renaissance
man
." As such,
Davis
touched nearly every aspect of The
Walt
Disney
Company during his tenure. He began as an animator, whose supporting work on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Bambi inspired
Walt
to promote him to full animator. In the ensuing years,
Davis
breathed life into a bevy of iconic
Disney
characters, including Cinderella, Alice (in Wonderland), Tinker Bell, Maleficent, and Cruella De Vil. Then, in 1962,
Walt
Disney
transferred the versatile
Davis
to the Imagineering department to help plan and design attractions for Disneyland and the 1964 New York World'
s
Fair. While at Imagineering,
Davis
conceived of designs for such classic attractions as Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Haunted Mansion. As
Davis
had so many talents and hats, it is only fitting that this tribute be composed by a multitude of talented writers. Experts in fine art, animation, Imagineering, and filmmaking have come together to honor
Davis
's contributions to their realms. Each chapter is accompanied by a wealth of artwork, much of which was offered up by Alice
Davis
exclusively for this book. This volume is both the biography and the portfolio of a
man
who was, on any given day, animator, Imagineer, world traveler, philanthropist, husband, and teacher"--Provided by publisher.
