Brice Mack

Brice Harvey Mack (June 2, 1917January 2, 2008) was a background painter and director, known for his extensive work at Disney in the 1940s and 1950s as a background painter. He was also hired for story writing at Disney in the 1950s, and worked on illustrating children's books based on the studio's films.

His first credited appearance was as the background artist for the "Rite of Spring" sequence in "Fantasia". He also worked on "Song of the South", "Alice in Wonderland", "Peter Pan", and "Lady and the Tramp". His last credit for Disney was in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". In the 1950s he became the president of ERA Productions, a small studio which was staffed with animators who had mostly come from Disney after leaving during the strike of 1941, producing and directing animated and live action commercials for the Peterson Company, as well as work for Disney. He later went on to form Unicorn Productions, with which he continued to work on commercials, films and theme park rides, continuing to consult for Disney into the early 1990s, when he retired.

His feature work includes directing the 1978 live action horror film "Jennifer", written by Steve Krantz.

Mack was survived by his wife, Ginni, three sons and three grandsons. His son Kevin Mack is an Academy Award-winning visual effects supervisor.
