Oh Guys, Glen Keane have been my inspiration, so sad that he is leaving Disney!

Here is his letter:
   March 23, 2012

    Dear Colleagues and Friends of the Walt Disney Animation Studio,

    After long and thoughtful consideration, I have decided to leave Disney Animation.

    I am convinced that animation really is the ultimate art form of our time with endless new territories to explore. I can't resist it's siren call to step out and discover them.

    Disney has been my artistic home since September 9,1974. 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.

    Over these four decades I have seen so many changes, but the one thing that remains the same is that we all do this because we love it.

    I am humbled and deeply honored to have worked side by side so many artists, producers and directors during my career here at Disney, and I am tremendously proud of the films which together we have created. I will deeply miss working with you.

    With my most sincere and heartfelt good wishes for your and Disney's continued artistic growth and success,

    Glen
