I’m seriously crying right now, because and era has come to an end. AN END, PEOPLE!

Our dear animation hero (and my personal favorite as you may know from a lot of posts) has officially left the Disney Studios after working there for 38 years. Glen Keane, son of famous cartoonist Bill Keane, got interested in animation and illustration after watching his Dad and went to CalArts after finishing High School, where he was mentored by figures such as Jules Engel.

While working at Disney he got the chance to be mentored by Disney’s animation legends Eric Larson, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. He participated in eighteen Disney long-feature films and created unforgettable characters from princesses, to cyborgs, to rats and eagles!

Even though his career in Disney animation has come to an end, his work will be always be cherished and be part of our childhoods. 

For an article I wrote a while ago about Glen Keane you can see it here! And to see al the posts Glen Keane related, here is the tag!
