For more than 25 years, The Animation Guild and ASIFA-Hollywood have hosted an Afternoon of Remembrance, a yearly, non-denominational event honoring those in the animation industry who passed away. This year the event will be held virtually on February 5 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.PST. Those who would like to attend can register at animationguild.org/
Here are those we said goodbye to in 2021. Most were TAG members, and all were part of our animation family.
