You Gotta See This: Disney Animator Draws With Virtual Reality Technology

Over nearly four decades at Disney, Glen Keane animated some the most compelling characters of our time: Ariel from The Little Mermaid, the titular beast in Beauty and the Beast, and Disney’s Tarzan, to name just a few. The son of cartoonist Bil Keane (The Family Circus), Glen learned early on the importance of holding onto your childhood creativity—and how art can powerfully convey emotion. Keane has spent his career embracing new tools, from digital environments to 3D animation to today’s virtual reality, which finally enables him to step into his drawings and wander freely through his imagination.

Those who love Disney movies will appreciate this video in which Keane draws some of our favorite characters. First he draws them with pencil and pad and then he uses virtual reality technology to create life size images that are breathtaking.
