Q: Is there any connection between the America Sings attraction and its Sam the Eagle character and the Eagle character designed for the 1984 Olympics?
Larry, Thousand Oaks, California
A: There is no connection, other than that they were both created by Disney artists. Eagle Sam in America Sings was designed by Imagineer Marc Davis for the Disneyland attraction. A decade later, Bob Moore, an artist at the Disney Studio, designed Sam the Olympic Eagle for the 1984 Olympics.
