Stop What You’re Doing And Watch This Beautiful Short By Ex-Disney Animator

If, like me, you consider the high point of modern Disney movies to be all about Ariel, Beast, and Aladdin, then it turns out you’re a massive fan of Glen Keane. Over the course of 37 years Glen had a hand in 20 productions and now, two years after he left Disney, he’s made an animated short for Google’s Spotlight Series. It’s called *Duet*, and you should  watch it right now.

The artistry and technique in his drawing just blow me away; I get the feeling that, for an animation student, it must be equal parts inspiring and terrifying. For someone like me though, whose classroom drawings only occasionally resemble *anything*, it’s just a glorious display of a master at his creative peak. Here’s hoping that this is the start of more from him.
