葛連·基恩(英語:Glen Keane,1954年4月13日-)是一名美國動畫師、作家和插畫家,因為參與過《小美人魚》、《阿拉丁》、《美女與野獸》、《泰山》和《魔髮奇緣》等數部華特迪士尼經典動畫長片的角色監製和創作而聞名。他曾獲頒1992年安妮獎的最佳動畫角色獎,和2007年溫瑟·麥凱獎的終身貢獻獎。
生涯
葛連·基恩出生於賓州的費城,父親是美國著名連載漫畫《家庭馬戲團》的作者比爾·基恩。後來在亞利桑納州的天堂谷。基恩對於藝術的興趣是從長期觀看父親繪製漫畫的過程中萌生的[1],而童稚時期的他也被當成父親作品中的漫畫角色「比利」的角色藍本。在開始想學畫之後,父親給了他一套伯恩·霍加斯所著的《動態素描‧人體解剖》(Dynamic Anatomy)的複印本,教他如何分析身體動作和人體速寫的創新繪法。
當基恩從鳳凰城的男子高中「布羅菲大學預備學校」畢業之後,他申請進入加州藝術學院,同時推辭了另一所大學發放的美式足球獎學金。之後基恩遇到了生涯中一個幸運的轉折點,他的申請書被意外地送至影片繪圖課程(Program in Film Graphics,今實驗動畫課程),而任課導師正是今已享有盛譽的動畫教授祖司·安格爾[1][2]。1974年從藝術學院畢業後即於童年加入迪士尼。Keane left CalArts in 1974 and joined Disney 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 design artist Claire Keane, and computer graphics artist Max Keane.
After "The Rescuers" was completed, Keane went on to animate Elliott the Dragon in Pete's Dragon. Keane also animated the climactic bear showdown in The Fox and the Hound. In 1982, after being inspired by the groundbreaking film Tron, Keane collaborated with fellow 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.[3] The test integrated traditional character animation and computer-generated backgrounds (see YouTube), and, like Tron, was a cooperation with MAGI. It was also Disney's first experimentation with digital inked and painted characters.[4] But, the project turned out to be too expensive, and the studio was unwilling to invest further in the planned featurette. The test for Where the Wild Things Are was revolutionary for its time, and a predecessor to the famous ballroom scene in Beauty and the Beast.
In 1983, Keane left Disney as a contracted employee and worked as a freelance artist.[1] During this time, he worked on the character of Professor Ratigan in Disney's The Great Mouse Detective. He also did some work on The Chipmunk Adventure where he did the sequences of "Boys and Girls of Rock N' Roll" and "Getting Lucky". He returned to Disney to work on the characters of Fagin, Sykes and Georgette for Oliver & Company. Keane rose to lead character animator, becoming one of the group sometimes referred to as the "Nine New Men". In this post he was responsible for animating some of Disney's most memorable characters in what has been referred to as the "New "Golden Age" of Disney Animation. Keane designed and animated the character of Ariel in the 1989 film The Little Mermaid. Then the eagle Marahute in The Rescuers Down Under. Subsequently, Keane worked as the supervising animator on the title characters for three Disney hit features: Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and Pocahontas.
While living with his family in Paris, France for three years, Keane completed work on Disney's 1999 Tarzan for which he drew the eponymous character. Keane then returned to Disney's Burbank studio as the lead animator for Long John Silver in Treasure Planet. In 2003, Keane began work as the director of Disney's CGI animated film, Tangled (based on the Brothers Grimm story Rapunzel), which released in November 2010. In Tangled, Glen and his team hoped to bring the unique style and warmth of traditional cel animation to computer animation. In October 2008, due to some "non-life threatening health issues", Keane stepped back as director of Tangled, but remained the film's executive producer and an animating director.[5]
On March 23, 2012, having worked approximately 37 years at Disney, Glen Keane left Walt Disney Animation Studios. Keane said in a letter sent to his co-workers, “I owe so much to those great animators who mentored me – Eric Larson, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston – as well as to the many other wonderful people at Disney whom I have been fortunate to work with in the past nearly 38 years. I am convinced that animation really is the ultimate form of our time with endless new territories to explore. I can’t resist its siren call to step out and discover them.”[6]
In addition to his work as an animator, Keane is the author and illustrator of a series of children's Bible parable books featuring Adam Raccoon and King Aren the Lion.
