Glen Keane is undoubtedly the face of Disney animation, when we think of those large eyes, the free flowing body movement of a Disney character it probably had something to do with Keane. Glen Keanes art has been recognised especially after the movie hit 'Tangled' but it should be noted that he worked to bring about the 2d style to 3d animation rather than being a newly introduced artist with good concept art. 'The Little Mermaid' is where he first began and all the Disney characters since then in the films have kept largely to this art style.
In all the images of his art the lines are bold and have this strong sense of movement and expression. All the characters drawn have something striking about them that can make it all eye catching to the viewer. This has obviously been used well by Disney as a whole.
