Marc Davis - just really kept Disney's dream going. He deserves all the recognition he can get. We tried doing our small part in our Pirates of the Caribbean episode of PipersPicksTV.
I personally think that Tinkerbell is Marc's most expressive female character, mainly because she doesn't talk, but the audience pretty much knows what she's thinking the whole time! Tinkerbell I think is the most interesting character in Peter Pan, and the most interesting female character ever in the old Disney films!
@CartoonFan56 Glen Keane when he was animating Ariel in The Little Mermaid no doubt looked at Marc Davis's drawings of women like Alice and Briar Rose, because Marc sort of set an industry standard for drawing those types of characters!!!
