The Imagineer, who describe himself as the “worst” artist ever hired by Walt Disney, helped create three of the Anaheim’s parks most beloved attractions.
The self-described “worst” artist ever hired by Walt Disney who went on to help create three of Disneyland’s most beloved attractions and shape Knott’s Berry Farm has died after a kooky, whimsical and fearless career as a theme park designer., March 12 in his Carlsbad home at the age of 93, according to the Walt Disney Company.
“They told me I probably had the worst portfolio of anyone that was ever hired in animation at the studio,” Crump said in the documentary film. “I still hold that record I think.” Crump immediately set to work on a field of flowers with propeller petals for Ozland, a “Wizard of Oz” land envisioned for Disneyland that never materialized.
For the 1964 New York World’s FaIr, Crump and his team built more than 350 toys for It’s a Small World. The marquee Tower of the Four Winds entry sculpture once again featured Crump’s signature propellers. The attraction moved to Disneyland after the World’s Fair and to this day a parade of wooden dolls march around the facade’s clock tower every 15 minutes.
