He became a lead character animator, one of the group of young animators mentored by " Disney's Nine Old Men". He animated the character Professor Ratigan in Disney's The Great Mouse Detective the "Boys and Girls of Rock n' Roll" and "Getting Lucky" in The Chipmunk Adventure and the characters Fagin, Sykes, Jenny Foxworth and Georgette in Oliver & Company. In 1983, Keane left contract employment with Disney and worked as a freelance artist. Although the project was revolutionary (and became a predecessor to the famous ballroom scene in Beauty and the Beast), Disney declined to invest further in the featurette due to its cost. It was Disney's first experiment with digitally-drawn characters. The test integrated traditional character animation and computer-generated backgrounds ( Video on YouTube), and, like Tron, was a cooperation with MAGI. In 1982, inspired by the groundbreaking film Tron, Keane collaborated with animator John Lasseter ( Toy Story, Toy Story 2) on a 30-second test scene of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, which was optioned for them by Disney executive Tom Wilhite. He subsequently animated Elliott the Dragon in Pete's Dragon, and the climactic bear showdown in The Fox and the Hound. Keane left CalArts in 1974 and joined Disney the same year, where he spent three years working with veteran animator Ollie Johnston on the characters Bernard and Penny in The Rescuers. His application was accidentally sent to the Program in Experimental Animation (then called Film Graphics), where he was mentored by Jules Engel. (Keane's father based his Family Circus character of Billy on Glen's younger self.) To encourage Glen to draw, his father gave him a copy of Burne Hogarth's Dynamic Anatomy, and recommended he observe body forms and practice creative approaches to life drawing.Īfter graduating from high school at Brophy College Preparatory in 1972, Keane applied to the California Institute of the Arts School of Art, rather than accepting a football scholarship to another college.
