Background artist Brice Mack is my 205th choice to be named a Disney Legend.
Mack painted backgrounds for “Fantasia,” “Pinocchio” and other Disney films including “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “Cinderella,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “Peter Pan,” “Song of the South” and “Lady and the Tramp.” Other works include The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Pluto's Fledgling, Pluto's Sweater, Johnny Appleseed and Pecos Bill.
He also painted backgrounds for short subjects including the 1942 Academy Award winning “Lend a Paw.” He also went to work on Walt Disney's television series Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color as a background painter and writer in the late 1950s. His last credit for Disney was in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. He continued to consult for Disney until his retirement in the early 1990s.
