In conjunction with the release of the new book, The Alchemy of Animation, Woodbury University and ASIFA-Hollywood will hold a book signing and panel discussion hosted by author/producer Don Hahn. The panel will include several of the best animators working today, including James Baxter (Beauty and the Beast, Enchanted), Mike Belzer (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Bolt) and Nik Ranieri (Hercules, The Princess and the Frog). They plan to share their insights into process of making animated films across a variety of mediums – traditional, computer and stop-motion animation.
