I agree. Keane leaving won't change much at Disney. I'm interested to see what he does now though, I'd love to see some independent animations made by him.

Personally, I suspect that Disney isn't doing anything with traditional animation.

What do you speculate will happen with traditional animation? Both Glen Keane and Andreas Deja are no longer 'tied' to Disney, potentially a new studio might be able to enlist both as artists. There's definitely room for a greater effect on the industry.

The industry is always changing. Keep in mind that there are things in production that we won't see for another three/four years. It's also not unreasonable to expect Glen Keane and Andreas Deja to enjoy a 'retirement', and work on their own projects.
