Davis, Marc (b. 1913) - Of
Walt's Nine Old
Men, Marc was the only one who Walt pulled
out of the animation department and sent over to
WED to help out with the planning of
Disneyland. After having gained a reputation in
animating classic female characters such as
Cinderella and Tinker Bell, Marc turned his
talents to story and character concepts for the
park. He would return to animation for awhile
(to create the villainous Cruella De Vil, for
example), and then go back to WED, where he
was instrumental in planning all of the Disney
pavilions for the New York World's Fair.
