Glen Keane

People will rarely know about the people who are behind a camera. And how about if there is no camera too? 2D animations do not use any kind of camera. But there are artists who draw. If you have heard about Glen Keane anywhere anytime that is who I'm going to talk about this time. If you have watched "The little Mermaid", "Aladdin", "Beauty and the Beast", "Tarzan", "Pocahontas" he is the man responsible behind those successful animated movies. Glen from childhood was proned towards arts as his father was an animator of "The family circus". Glen's younger self is represented in his father's comic strip as the character of "Billy"). Glen Keane exposed a very talented skill from his debut work in "The Rescuers" under the legendary Ollie Johnston.
Glen Keane's skills to express the emotions of the charaters are unargueably top of the class. Any artist will be jeleous of his talents. In any of his movies or characters you have watched he will please you easily. The timing and and movements of the characters are so appealing. Very few artists are as gifted as him. He has made some of the most memoreable animations of all time. "The little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", "Pocahontas" timeless hits. He's a man you would love to see drawing.
Right now he is the executive producer and animation director the yet to come hybrid animated movie "The Rapunzel" slated for 2010 release. I'm sure he is once again ready to release his magic with the movie.
