The fact is we are surrounded by talent and that spark of creation often leads to an amazing product—from leather goods to crochet coasters, pithy pins to handmade preserves. What better way to celebrate the holidays than by finding unique gifts while supporting your fellow TAG members! 38 THE SPIRIT OF CREATION This fall we revisit the beloved group of characters from Frozen— Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf. But as the story takes us away from Arendelle and into an enchanted forest, we are introduced to a few new (and technologically- challenging) characters that sweep us into a new adventure of mythical proportions. 46 THE GOLDEN AGE Fifty-years in the craft is a significant milestone, one which has been honored over the years at the Golden Awards. This year, we pay tribute to another 28 Animation Guild members—and their devotion to this wonderful and unique craft that has brought joy to generations. FEATURES FRAME X FRAME 18 24 38
