Connection
Marc Davis is a Actor, Scriptwriter and Animation American born on 30 march 1913 at Bakersfield (USA)
Marc Fraser Davis (March 30, 1913, Bakersfield, California – January 12, 2000) was a prominent American artist and animator for 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.
Il développe ensuite des personnages comme ceux de Bambi et Pan-Pan dans Bambi (1942) et aussi de nombreux personnages féminins, qui lui donnent une certaine réputation, dont l'héroïne de Cendrillon (1950), la Fée Clochette de Peter Pan (1953) ou Cruella d'Enfer dans Les 101 Dalmatiens (1961) ainsi qu'Aurore et Maléfique de La Belle au bois dormant.
Dès l'ouverture du premier parc à thème Disneyland en 1955, il participe à la conception des attractions au sein de WED Entreprises dont la célèbre Jungle Cruise. Il poursuit l'amélioration de cette attraction et participe alors aux développement des personnages audio-animatronics. Il est surtout actif sur le scénario et les concepts liés aux personnages des attractions par de nombreuses esquisses. Juste avant la sortie des 101 Dalmatiens, animateur de Cruella d'Enfer, Davis arrête son travail dans l'animation pour se consacrer uniquement aux attractions. Sa première mission est l’attraction Nature's Wonderland.
Au début des années 1960, il travaille sur les quatre projets d'attractions pour la Foire internationale de New York 1964-1965 dont It's a Small World et Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.
Il continue sa carrière d'imagineer avec le développement de Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, des attractions d'Epcot et de Tokyo Disneyland. Il prend sa retraite en 1978.

On a golden spring day at the bank of a tranquil river, a young 12-year-old girl named Alice grows bored listening to her older 19-year-old sister read aloud from a history book of William I of England. When her sister chastises Alice's daydreaming, Alice tells her kitten Dinah that she can live in a nonsensical magical land called Wonderland. While daydreaming, Alice spots a waistcoat-wearing White Rabbit passing by, exclaiming that he is "late for an important date". Alice gives chase and follows him into a rabbit hole, and falls into a large furnished hole. Her dress catches her fall like a parachute and she floats gently down. She sees the White Rabbit disappear into a tiny door and tries to follow, but the door's talking knob advises her to alter her size using a mysterious bottle marked "Drink Me." The contents shrink her to a fraction of her normal size, but the door is locked and the key is out of reach. She then takes a bite of a cookie that says “Eat Me” and grows large enough to fill the entire room. She begins to weep large tears that flood the room. The doorknob then tells Alice to drink from the bottle again, which causes her to shrink once more. Alice falls into the bottle and passes through the door's keyhole and into Wonderland. She meets several strange characters including the Dodo and Tweedledee and Tweedledum who recount the tale of "The Walrus and the Carpenter".

Seven-year-old Johnny is excited about what he believes to be a vacation at his grandmother's Georgia plantation with his parents, John Sr. and Sally. When they arrive at the plantation, he discovers that his parents will be living apart for a while, and he is to live in the country with his mother and grandmother while his father returns to Atlanta to continue his controversial editorship in the city's newspaper. Johnny, distraught because his father has never left him or his mother before, leaves that night under cover of darkness and sets off for Atlanta with only a bindle. As Johnny sneaks away from the plantation, he is attracted by the voice of Uncle Remus telling tales "in his old-timey way" of a character named Br'er Rabbit. Curious, Johnny hides behind a nearby tree to spy on the group of people sitting around the fire. By this time, word has gotten out that Johnny is gone and some plantation residents, who are sent out to find him, ask if Uncle Remus has seen the boy. Uncle Remus replies that he's with him. Shortly afterwards, he catches up with Johnny, who sits crying on a nearby log. He befriends the young boy and offers him some food for the journey, taking him back to his cabin.
