MoMA Presents An Evening with Glen Keane and John Canemaker on April 6th

Mark your calendars. Glen Keane, a master of character animation at Disney for nearly four decades, will appear with John Canemaker, an Oscar-winning filmmaker, author and historian at an event next month at New York's Museum Of Modern Art to talk 'toons.
Glen Keane has been behind some of Disney's most beloved characters, including Ariel in The Little Mermaid, the Beast in Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, and Tarzan. This special Modern Mondays: An Evening with Glen Keane and John Canemaker event will feature Keane in an on-stage conversation with John Canemaker about his career.
Richly illustrated with accompaniment of film clips and other imagery, the conversation will trace Keane's career, from his apprenticeship with veteran Disney animators the Nine Old Men in the mid-1970s up to the New York theatrical premiere of his most recent project, Duet (2014). An independent short collaboratively produced with Google's Advance Technology and Projects Group (ATAP), Duet is among the first of its kind - and certainly one of the most advanced: an interactive hand-drawn animation that explores spatial and sensory awareness.

Keane, who retired from Disney in 2013, will also discuss his ground-breaking experiments in situating hand-drawn characters in computer-generated environments (including his 1982 collaboration with John Lasseter on a test film of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are; his use of "Deep Canvas" in the 1999 Disney feature Tarzan; and his sophisticated digital innovations as Animation Supervisor on Disney's Tangled, in 2010).
Do not miss this!
Earlier that afternoon, Keane will introduce a theatrical screening of Disney's 1991 feature Beauty and the Beast at 4pm. Modern Mondays: An Evening with Glen Keane with John Canemaker will take place on Monday, April 6, at 7pm. For more ticketing information, click the MoMA website.
