It’s a sad day today in the animation world as Brice Mack, background painter for Disney from 1930s~1950s, has passed away. Mr. Mack left us on January 2nd in Hollywood, California at the age of 90.
Mr. Mack painted backgrounds for some of most beloved animated films of all time including Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and Lady and the Tramp.
During World War II, Mr. Mack left Disney in 1942 and became a pioneering navigator for the Air Transport Command. He delivered aircraft, cargo and personnel throughout the world until the end of the war. After the war, in 1945, Mack returned to Disney.
May he rest in peace.
