Me and Glen Keane at the San Diego Comic-Con!Pretty awesome right?! This was right before the Walt Stanchfield Panel. After waiting in line for long while, the panelists start to show up in the front. With my eagle eye, I spot this dude from afar in shorts and a cap, and I realize Oh sh*t its Glen Keane! He looked like a kid with his little backpack!
I muster up the courage to approach him and ask if I can get a quick picture. I turn to him, a little verklempt, and go, " Man, You're my hero Glen." He stops , takes a moment to look down at my badge and goes "Well thank you , Bobby." Like, super sincere y'know? So I told him his work was the reason I aspired to become an animator, which is true. He shook my hand, and my friend Tirzah took the picture. I said thank you one more time, made sure the picture wasn't blurry, and squirmed away. Aw man, I didn't think I would geek out like that but I felt like a little kid.

Wow, Bobby! That's amazing! I am so very, very jealous. Thanks again for sharing your photos.
Congrats on your short! I didn't get a chance to comment on it, but I loved it. You definitely made lemonade out of the lemons, given the situation with the 2d/3d issue. Nice work!

Dude...I geeked out the SAME way when i saw/spoke to him at SIGGRAPH in 2005. I even told him I was gonna animate on Repunzel. He told me well..it'll be a while before it goes into production. I'm like..well..I'll be there! lol so that plan isn't happen exactly like I'd hoped! nice posts man! miss you around AM!

man id liek to ge t to know you im 23 years and im like a few months to finish my associates in computer animation,
coudl you please help to guide you know things, i remember when i was liek 14 years old and i whent o disney studios and the it was this guy drawing a monkey and he said that a secret movie was coming out and in that time it was tarzan!
Ahahaha I totally understand the geeking. I had the pleasure of going to a presentation by Glen and Roy Conli before Tangled was released here in Australia. Two of my friends and I were the first ones in and Glen just came up and started talking to us kindly and casually and I was so excited and awed I think perhaps 20% of my speech was coherent haha.
He's just the most amazing animator and so much more. He just GETS IT....gets how characters and stories need to be shown. Truly wonderful, and I'm so glad you got to meet him, however briefly!
Oh My God.....what a Dream, what a Dream!!!!
