Each day, Cartoon Brew brings the latest news and trends in animation to over 20,000 different artists, entertainment execs and cartoon aficionados. Animation authorities Jerry Beck and Amid Amidi — both of whom are recognized historians and published authors, with long experience in the animation industry — cover a wide range of topics, including contemporary and classic animation from around the globe, CGI, advertising, design, anime and industry/business news. Amid’s book “Cartoon Modern” was awarded the best film book of 2006 by the prestigious Theatre Library Association, and Jerry Beck’s “The Hanna-Barbera Treasury” won the Gold (Pop Culture category) in ForeWord Magazine’s 2007 Book of the Year awards.

Reviewing Things on Cartoon Brew
We welcome cool swag to review (books, dvds, toys, etc.), but we make no guarantee that it will result in a post—let alone a positive post. Send your product to the most appropriate Brewmaster. After sending us your product, do not email us repeatedly asking if we will review your product. If we like it and feel it’s appropriate for Cartoon Brew, you’ll eventually see it on the site.

Asking for Critiques/Appraisals
Do not email to ask us for a personal critique of your animation, drawings or personal projects. We will never do that under any circumstance. We also cannot appraise your vintage animation art or film collection.

Disclosures
Readers tend to trust CartoonBrew because we try our best to be transparent and upfront with our readers. Both Brewmasters work in various facets of the animation industry, and if we post about something that we are affiliated with, we will always do our best to disclose our connection to the company or project. You can also find out more about our work histories on our bio/contact pages: Jerry Beck or Amid Amidi.

Cartoon Brew is independently owned. We accept advertisements on the Brew. For more information, go to our Advertising page. We also receive a modest sum when you purchase products through the Amazon links on our site.
