Salute! Auctioning Animation History Gems and Rarities for Assistance in LA Wildfire Disaster Recovery Fund
Let's help out the animation peeps hit by LA's wildfires!
Y'all already know about the AnimAID initiative, right, thanks to ASIFA-Hollywood cooking it up? Well, they got a charity auction happening at the swanky Sotheby's place to gather some cash for the animation folks dealing with the crap over the LA fires. Lose a house? Displaced? Not cool, but AnimAID's here to help!
Big-name studios - like the one that made Beauty and the Beast (Disney, duh!) and Howard (starring our boy Don Hahn!), Warner Brothers, Sony Animation, DreamWorks, LAIKA, and even more - have chipped in with some sweet, rare, and unique pieces of animation art! That's right, if you've got some extra cash, you can bid on 'em!
Wanna lend a hand? Here's the scoop, straight from Don Hahn himself:
"Yeah, the animation scene got hit hard by those LA fires. But now, we're sticking together and showing our support by donating art to Sotheby's for a special auction. The dough raised through AnimAID will go straight to the LA fire victims, helping 'em rebuild their homes and lives."
From classic films like Snow White and The Simpsons to fresh titles like Inside Out, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, The Wild Robot, and Avatar, the auction's stacked with over 90 years of animation history.
And if bidding ain't your thing, there's still plenty to jostle for. How about film industry artist commissions, studio tours, signed posters, and more? Or go for some original production drawings, animation cells, paintings - you name it!
So, ready to make a difference? Head to their website to check out the auction in all its glory!
