Marc Davis

Marc Fraser Davis (March 30, 1913 – January 12, 2000) was a prominent American artist, animator and imagineer for the Walt Disney Studios. He was one of Disney's Nine Old Men for his knowledge and understanding of visual aesthetics, the famed core animators of Disney animated films.

Davis, a brilliant draftsman, also designed the characters for many Disneyland ride and show animatronics. In 1989, he was named a Disney Legend. Davis died in January 2000. That same month, the Marc Fraser Davis Scholarship Fund formally was established at the California Institute of the Arts.
