Glen Keane
Glen Keane (born April 13, 1954) is an American animator, author and illustrator. Keane is best known for his character animation at Walt Disney Animation Studios for feature films including The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, Tarzan, and Tangled. Keane received the 1992 Annie Award for character animation, the 2007 Winsor McCay Award for lifetime contribution to the field of animation and in 2013 was named a Disney Legend.
Early life
Keane was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of cartoonist Bil Keane, creator of the The Family Circus, and Australian-born Thelma "Thel" Carne Keane. He was raised in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
Keane's interest in art developed as a child by 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 graduating from high school at Brophy College Preparatory, Keane applied to the California Institute of the Arts-School of Art, opting out of accepting a football scholarship from another college. His application was accidentally sent to the Program in Experimental Animation (then called Film Graphics), where he was mentored under teacher Jules Engel.

Fall Down, Fall Down
by: Kellin QuinnI can feel you through the fake skin I created
And you still see through the lines that I write
It's more concerning that I fall out of place
I'm searching for the right side of grace
And now I fall down, fall down
I never think I am wrong
So I'm saying how I feel like there's no where to go
So put your hand up for me let me know
Set us free, set us free, I want you to see that
My heart belongs only to you
Set us free, set us free, I want you to see that
My heart belongs only to you
I can feel you through the fake skin I created
And you still see through the lines that I write
It's more concerning that I fall out of place
Or tumble over flat on my face
I guess it's my fault
But you see through it all and love me still
Love me still
So I'm saying how I feel like there's no where to go
So put your hand up for me let me know
Set us free, set us free, I want you to see that
My heart belongs only to you
Set us free, set us free, I want you to see that
My heart belongs only to you
Set us free, set us free, I want you to see that
My heart belongs only to you
Set us free, set us free, I want you to see that
My heart belongs only to you
I don't understand why the world is so cold,
The worlds so cold
I don't understand why the world is so cold,
