Animated News Weekly Archive

One downside to getting to celebrate another big milestone like our 20th anniversary is that there's not a lot more left to show or tell about our history. However, after some major excavation deep into the embarrassingly cluttered AV archives, we were able to find another dusty bit of long lost content under some old boxes of cease and desist letters and moldy Norm Of The North promotional plush.

From the first week of our launch in October of 2003 and intermittently over the next six years or so, we had an email newsletter. Sure these messages may not be too useful anymore! But they're actually kind of fun as a sort of virtual time capsule. And perhaps some future animation researcher might find the links useful. Either way, they're part of our story and we're happy to be able to move them from the dark, cobwebbed recesses of the AV archives and back into the warm light of our anniversary celebration!

So travel back 20 years with us to see how we covered the top stories of the day!

ALL ENTRIES MUST BE RECEIVED BY FRIDAY, MARCH 5, AT 11:59pm ET. One entry per household please. If you send more than one entry, only the first one received will be counted.

As The Secret Of Kells is not yet available, a $25 Amazon gift certificate will be substituted if it wins.

GOOD LUCK, and we look forward to seeing you on the red carpet Sunday night!

- James, and the entire Animated Views Team.
