Cartoon Brew celebrated the publication of its first American Animation Power List with a reception on July 31 at the Tam O’Shanter.

The star-studded event brought together many of the 60 power players honored on this year’s list, along with other guests. It also marked the launch of the first print edition of Cartoon brew, which is now available free to employees at most major animation studios in Los Angeles. (Note: If you would like copies delivered to your studio, please drop us a line at contact (at) cartoonbrew (dot) com.) The print edition is also available to annual members of the website (U.S. only).

The photos below by Kyle Espeleta capture the good vibes and the great people who came out for the reception, which went on for hours after its scheduled end time. More than a few attendees told us they hoped the event would become an annual tradition. We hope so too.
