Notable and Quotable: Glen Keane


On animating the Beast for the film Beauty and the Beast, Disney animator Glen Keane says,

"This is the moment- this is what I was born for...
As I started animating it, for me it's really an expression of my spiritual life.


There's a verse in the Bible that says 'If any man is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away and all things have become new...'


Because it is really about an inner spiritual transformation that's taking place with the Beast. I saw it as a parable of my life."
