Marc Davis: in His Own Words. By Pete Docter, Christopher Merritt. On February 16, 1962, senior animator Marc Davis officially transitioned from Walt Disney Feature Animation to a new division of the company: WED Enterprises, the group assembled to design Walt’s new theme park. The move would be a significant one. After thirty-plus years animating classic Disney features, Marc would become one of the most renowned of Walt Disney’s new breed of employee Imagineers. During Marc’s time with WED (later Walt Disney Imagineering), he would become a driving force behind the designs of many of the most iconic attractions at the Disney theme parks. Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, it’s a small world, Jungle Cruise, Country Bear Jamboree, and many others feature environments and storylines that were heavily influenced by his conceptual artwork. Featuring work from the sixties through the eighties, this two-volume set includes more than 1,500 pieces from the Imagineering archives, the vast majority of which have never been published. In addition, for the first time Marc’s design theories as well as many of his stories of working with Walt are featured in his own words as recorded during hours upon hours of interviews by author Chris Merritt. Marc Davis In His Own Words is a treasure trove for artists, students, and Disney collectors around the world. Pete Docter is an American film director, animator, and screenwriter from Bloomington, Minnesota. He is best known for directing Inside Out, Monsters, Inc. And Up and as a key figure and collaborator in Pixar Animation Studios. Club has called him almost universally successful. He has been nominated for six Oscars (two wins thus far for Up and Inside Out Best Animated Feature), three Annie Awards (two wins), a BAFTA Children’s Film Award (which he won), and a Hochi Film Award (which he won). He has described himself as a geeky kid from Minnesota who likes to draw cartoons. Southern California native Christopher Merritt has more than twenty years of attraction and show design experience creating theme park attractions and environments around the world as an art director and production designer at theme parks located in California, Florida, Tokyo, Singapore, and Shanghai. Chris is the author of a Knott’s Berry Farm pictorial history, Knott’s Preserved (2010) and Pacific Ocean Park: The Rise and Fall of Los Angeles’ Space Age Nautical Pleasure Pier (2014). Chris spent countless hours with Marc Davis (and Alice Davis) both learning from the masters and documenting history. Chris is currently at work at Walt Disney Imagineering as lead show designer for the Tokyo DisneySea version of the Frozen attraction. Pete Docter, Christopher Merritt. X 12.5 in.

This stunning ORIGINAL CONCEPT ARTWORK piece was rendered by Marc Davis, one of the most celebrated Disneyland artists of all time. It is a very rare example of the artistry and craftsmanship of one of Walts original hand-picked artists. Walt brought Marc Davis from the studio to help imagine Disneyland, and his work can be seen in the character and scenario designs of Pirates, Haunted Mansion, America Sings/Splash Mountain, Jungle Cruise and many, many more. Very, very few of these stunning examples of Marc Davis concept art ever make their way to the collector market. After Marc left Disney in the 1980s, he was contracted by Landmark Entertainment Group along with fellow imagineers Herb Ryman, Phil Mendez, Ed Sotto, etc. To “imagineer” designs for Six Flags attractions and other theme park based entertainment. This delightful piece is from a Six Flags indoor theme park in Baltimore called the Power Plant. Marc helped develop a rich backstory for this park, and designed many characters and scenarios, including these designs for the Power House Toy Theater. The park was a Victorian-themed experience, very much in line with Disneyland’s Main Street aesthetic. See photo 2 for a reference to the finished show! Marc’s toy acrobats are in the center of the photo. And are an exact translation from the page to the stage. Also, his clowns flank the scene! This is an original, one-of-a-kind piece of artwork that was never intended to be seen by the public. This type of concept art is rarely is offered for sale, and is usually kept in a vault (like Disneys Imagineering archives) and rarely referenced except for books or mechanical reproduction. I have never seen these images used commercially. Altogether, the artwork is in wonderful vintage condition and is ready to frame and display. The piece measures 8 1/2″ by 12 1/2″ inches, mounted on Landmark design board that is roughly 9×16 inches. 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. 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 65 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.
