CONTACT US SKU#: 123553 US Shipping $49 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Marc Davis was born in Bakersfield, CA on March 30, 1913.During the 1930s he studied at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. Like so many Depression era young people looking for jobs, he was pleased in 1935 to hire on at modest wages when Walt Disney offered him a job, even though he had little knowledge or skill in Disney Studio projects. Davis became an apprentice animator, and, remaining for 43 years, was one of Disney's closest associates, and part of a group of long-timers dubbed "nine old men" by Disney.A major part of the training for the pioneering Disney Studio newcomers was spending half the day doing life drawing in the Disney Art School headed by Don Graham, and then going to Griffiths Park, Los Angeles, twice a week to become skilled at animal drawing. In the overall operation, Disney was the head, then the Directors who assembled the creative efforts to carry out his directives, followed by the Story Department that created the plots and gags, and then the Animators who made the Story drawings and brought the drawings these drawings to life. In Disney's biography by Bob Thomas, it was written that "Of all the contributors to the creative process, Walt had greatest respect for the animators."While there, Marc Davis created such characters as Sleeping Beauty, Tinker Bell, and Cinderella. Later, as an Imagineer, he helped create many of the theme park attractions including the animation for the boat ride through the countries of the world in the exhibit "It's a Small World", which debuted at the 1964 World's Fair, and which was installed at both Disneyland and Disneyworld.Marc Davis, outliving Walt Disney by 35 years, worked at the company until 1978. In 1988 he was officially designated a "Disney Legend", which meant he was honored at a special ceremony by the Company with the award to "recognize men and women who have made an extraordinary and integral contribution to The Walt Disney Company."
