Disney Legend Glen Keane Joins Motorola?s Spotlight Stories


To animate means to bring to life.

Glen Keane?s work seems larger than life. As the creator and animator of beloved Disney characters such as Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Pocahontas, the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, and Tarzan, Glen has drawn more than figures on a screen. He has made the stories and characters of our childhoods. He gave us imaginary friends, admired heroines, misfits in search of understanding, and at least a Halloween costume or two.

At Motorola?s Advanced Technology and Projects group, we believe in the power of storytelling, so we?re building new stories made specifically for mobile. Not stories made for the big screen but shown on a small one. Not flat content. We?re building interactive, immersive stories made for your smartphone.

So we?re excited to announce that Glen?the artist behind so many classics?is working with us to push the future of animation with an original Spotlight Story.

Expected to release the middle of 2014, in this third Motorola Spotlight Story, Glen is going back to the drawing board. Literally. Together with the engineers who unlocked the graphics technology that made our first Spotlight Story, Windy Day, possible on the Moto X, we?re pushing new edges. The raw emotion of the hand-drawn line brought to life in our technological world. And yours.

What will happen when a master animator of the big screen jumps to an innovative, mobile canvas? We?re excited to see.
