Glen Keane is a Disney legend. In the late 1980s and ’90s, he was a primary creative force in the Disney renaissance, animating starring characters in blockbusters that included The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin.
Duet, his latest and most personal project, tells the story of Mia and Tosh and how their individual paths in life intertwine to create an inseparable duet. A celebration of life through a hand drawn line.
Duet is an elegant, hand-drawn animated short that is bursting at the seams of the possible. Presented below, in the conventional viewing format to which audiences are accustomed, Duet was built specifically by Google to be something revolutionary, a story that needs to be experienced via a smartphone, not just seen.
“Different than the traditional linear story, Duet employs a multi-layered approach that could best be described as a double helix in which the characters’ story arcs literally spiral around one another,” said Keane.
