The Real Life Disney Couple that was the Inspiration for this 2009 Pixar Hit Movie #shorts 

In 1957, Alice Davis was tired from stripping wallpaper in her new home and called her husband, Disney imagineer, Marc Davis, at his office in the Disney Studio. She suggested they go out for dinner instead of cooking. They ended up at the Tam O'Shanter, a favourite restaurant of Walt Disney and Disney animators. While enjoying their cocktails, Alice noticed Walt Disney himself placing a hand on Marc's shoulder. Walt introduced himself to Alice and took an interest in her profession as a clothing and costume designer. He was particularly intrigued by a fabric called elastic that Alice was working on. After chatting for a while, Walt predicted that Alice would work for him someday.
Six years later, Alice received a call from Walt's secretary, asking her to design the costumes for it's a small world. She accepted the offer and went on to design costumes for other attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean and Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress. Alice and Marc became Disney Legends and were married for over 50 years. Their love story apparently inspired the characters of Carl and Ellie from the 2009 UP movie.
