Oliver & Company: Who Animated Fagan?

Well - I found the answer to my question, so I don't need this thread anymore. Whereas there is still no option to delete it, the only course left to me is to edit it out as best I can.

Well... what's the answer? ;)

Craziness. I can "edit" the subject line of my original post, but it doesn't actually change it on the forums page. Nutty. Is it to much to ask for AWN to offer a delete function?

Anyway, apparently, yeah, Glen Keane worked on THREE characters in this film, and Fagin was one of them. I was surprised - I didn't really "see it" in Fagin, though I had with Sykes.

Yeah, it was mostly Glen , but a few other animators did Fagin scenes . Ruben Aquino was one if I recall correctly.

This is sort of cool :

Oh, that's brilliant, thanks for the link!
Yeah, I was really amazed by the quality of the animation in this movie - especially Fagin, but also the particularly "musical" gestures performed by the dogs. I had never seen the film until just a few days ago, and I quite regret the fact. I can't believe this one doesn't get more attention as one of Disney's best films. The story has problems, sure, whatever, who cares -- the animation makes it so enjoyable to watch. I wish I could've caught this one at the theater, on a big screen.

I've seen Tarzan, I've seen Treasure Planet -- I've seen every recent Disney picture with the exception of the Hunchback movie. And I can't think of anything I've ever seen from Glen Keane in any of those films that affected me more as a viewer or as an aspiring animator than what I've seen here. Brilliant work!

Check out www.youtube.com and type in Glen Keane. There are several clips of him animating and drawing, and rough animation clips of his.

Yuh... He's arguably the best animator in the world.

If not Glen Keane, then who?

That's like saying that El Greco was the "best painter ever." He was brilliant, but so were perhaps a thousand other painters - and they were all uniquely so.

Above a certain level of artistic skill, there's just no such thing as "good, better and best" anymore. I would never say, for example, that between Richard Williams and Glen Keane that one was better than the other; it would be like saying that Picasso's "Guernica" is "better" than Goya's "Saturn Devouring His Son."
