A Disney animator behind classics such as "The Little Mermaid" and "Tangled" just got the opportunity to thank the first responders who saved him from a mountaintop during a hike.
About a week after the incident, Glen Keane, 72, said he was grateful for the team that made it happen.
"I think it's the most difficult thing for somebody to say: I can't, I need help. And I got to that point, and I was so thankful there was somebody I could call," Keane told KPNX in Phoenix. "I've done a lot of animated fairytales, but this was a real life one, and I really wanted to see the crew who were responsible for that."
Keane also presented the department with a tribute to his rescuers. It was a drawn picture of the rescue, showing all of the first responders, helicopters and reads "Our family helping your family."
