In Memoriam: Remembering The Animation Industry Figures Who Died In 2020
The past 12 months, in which the spectre of disease and death loomed over everything, saw Cartoon Brew chalk up a sad record: we have never published so many obituaries in one year.
None of these deaths were attributed to Covid-19. Yet during a period when light relief was needed more than ever, we instead found ourselves mourning a stream of departed talents who left their mark on our industry animators and cartoonists, directors and producers, voice artists, dancers, and basketball players; famous and under-appreciated; old and young.
Here are the deaths we documented in 2020:
New-york
United-states
Tokyo
Japan
Slovak-republic
Cuba
Pocahontas
Alberta
Canada
Toronto
Ontario
