Archive: Annie Award Nomination Exhibit
Annette O'Neil takes a break from helping to organize the Annie Awards Ceremonies to look over the submissions from this year's nominees for Character Design.The entry materials for the nominees in the Individual Achievement categories for Storyboard, Production Design and Character Design are now on display at the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive in Burbank. The ballots are in the mail to the membership, so when you get yours, make a point to stop by and make your choices. The Archive is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1pm to 9pm. The address is 2114 Burbank Bl, just a few blocks East of Buena Vista.
There's a lot of other things to see at the Archive too. Behind Annette in the picture above is our exhibit of sketches from the Fleischer Studios, including Grim Natwick's original designs for Betty Boop. We also have Les Clark's animation desk which he used to animate scenes from Steamboat Willie and Snow White. There are hundreds of rare cartoons available for viewing too. Stop by and take the tour.
