We lost many of the talented men and women who contributed to the animation and vfx world in 2013. As we look back at the year that passed, we would like to take a moment to celebrate the contributions of the talented men and women who left us in the past 12 months. Here’s a toast to their lifetime of hard work and artistic devotion, which enriched our world in so many ways. Please let us know if we left anyone out in the comments section and we’ll add them to the list.
