WDW Radio # 772 - Disney Legend Marc Davis: The Man Who Shaped the Humor and Heart of Disneyland - From the WDW Radio Archives
This week, we open up the Archives and journey through the creative genius of Disney Legend Marc Davis with special guest, my friend, the late, great, historian and author Jim Korkis.
We’ll explore the wizardry behind Davis’s electromechanical marvels, and how Marc injected humor into beloved attractions such as the Haunted Mansion, Country Bear Jamboree, and the Enchanted Tiki Room, and learn about his lasting impact on Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. And you’ll be immersed in the stories of his iconic contributions to classic films, his analytical approach to animation, and how his mastery brought to life characters like Cinderella and the formidable Maleficent. You’ll also learn of the heartwarming love story between Marc and his equally talented wife, Alice, and the film they inspired.
It’s an episode filled with nostalgia, inspiration, and a touch of pixie dust, and just as we pay homage to the enduring legacy of Walt Disney’s “Renaissance Man.” And I invite you to remember look for the visual cues that celebrate his life and work next time you’re visiting the happiest and most magical places on Earth.
