Introduction
Glen Keane(born April 13, 1954) is an American animator, author, illustrator and director. Keane is best known for his character एनीमेशन at Walt डिज़्नी Studios for feature films including The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and Tarzan. Keane received the 1992 Annie Award for character एनीमेशन and the 2007 Winsor McCay Award for lifetime contribution to the field of animation.
History
Keane was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of cartoonist Bil Keane, creator of the The Family Circus, and Thelma "Thel" Carne Keane. He was raised in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
Keane's interest in art developed as a child द्वारा observing his father's work as a cartoonist. (Glen's younger self is represented in his father's comic strip as the character of "Billy"). In his early attempts to draw, his dad gave him a copy of Burne Hogarth's Dynamic Anatomy, and instructed him to analyze the body forms and the creative approach to life drawing. After high school, Glen applied to the California Institute of the Arts-School of Art, opting out of accepting a football scholarship from another college. In a lucky twist of fate, his application was accidentally sent to the Program in Experimental एनीमेशन (then called Film Graphics), where he was mentored under the now-renowned एनीमेशन teacher Jules Engel.
Keane left CalArts in 1974 and joined डिज़्नी the same year. His debut work, which was created over a 3-year period, was featured in The Rescuers, for which he was an animator for the characters of Bernard and Penny, alongside the famed Ollie Johnston. In 1975, during the production of his debut film, Keane married Linda Hesselroth, and they are the parents of डिज़ाइन artist Claire Keane, and computer graphics artist Max Keane.
Work
He have worked on some of my प्रिय डिज़्नी characters like the Beast, Ariel,Pocahontas and Aladdin.
His two most well known works is Ariel and the Beast even if he wasn´t alone on animating Ariel.
He is currently working as art director for the upcoming डिज़्नी film Tangled.
My Opinion
He is one of my चोटी, शीर्ष 3 प्रिय animator just for his work on the Beast as he is my प्रिय character but his other work also inspire my imagination and i hope that we havent seen the last of his talent.
