Fans of both Disney World and Disneyland are likely familiar with the intricate window displays that line the Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A.
A number of talented artists have worked on these window displays throughout the years — including John Leland, an illustrator and puppet designer who helped create window displays for the Emporium at both Disneyland Park and Magic Kingdom.
Variety reported that John Leland passed away on Thursday at age 91. Leland had a hand in creating Emporium window displays for a number of Disney films, including Bedknobs and Broomsticks and 101 Dalmations.
In addition to his work on the window designs at the Emporium, Leland also worked with prominent puppeteer Bob Baker to develop a line of Disney-licensed marionettes in the 1990s.
