Disney Legend Marc Davis shares a story about a scene he animated, one that Walt Disney called his favorite piece of animation. Walt wasn’t known for giving direct praise; you’d usually hear about it from someone else. But even the secondhand praise was meaningful to his artists. This clip comes from Marc’s episode of The Disney Family Album. | Disney History Channel

Walt Disney brought Grim Natwick onto the project because he had experience animating more realistic human characters. With Marc Davis as an assistant and by integrating the reference footage and some of the concepts of Ham Luske, Snow White over time became a sympathetic character that audiences could connect to emotionally. This is critical for the success of any Disney film, as the ones with lead characters who didn’t have this quality usually didn’t do well in the box office (like Pinocchio,

Thank you Imagineering for finally fixing that Marc Davis scene in Disneyland 👏👏👏 It has been working correctiy in the WDW version for a while, but the trumpet was aimed at the floor for a good long time in the Disneyland version until recently 😂 Marc even admitted this scene never worked quite as well as he’d hoped (he was similarly disappointed with the meager flames coming out of the jug of rum near the end of Pirates 🔥).The Ghostess or Ghost Hostess was never called “little Leota” in Di

And then there are the chess playing ghosts for the Haunted Mansion which Marc Davis later resurrected for the queue of Florida’s Pirates of the Caribbean 👻 Marc Davis researched many real-life pirates for this attraction, most of which he found were actually not all that exciting in reality because their stories had been greatly exaggerated. You can see sketches of his original concept art of some of these pirates on the wall in the queue for the Disneyland version. #disney #piratesofthecaribb

I’m still holding out hope they will add them someday, how amazing would that be 😂 Don’t get me wrong, I still believe Mary Blair, Alice Davis, and Rolly Crump are at the heart of this attraction’s design, but Marc Davis certainly contributed (and argued with Mary at times). The ferris wheel, leaning tower of Pisa, Loch Ness monster, and reindeer were all also Marc Davis concepts, among many others. He was known to just make a ton of rough sketches when working on projects… some would make it i
