He was not on the list.
Barry Caldwell, veteran animator, director, and storyboard artist has sadly passed away

• 'Animaniacs'
• 'Pinky and the Brain'
• 'Tiny Toon Adventures'
• 'Osmosis Jones'
• 'Alvin and the Chipmunks'
• 'The Smurfs'
• 'Scooby-Doo!'
Thank you, legend. Rest in peace
A veteran animator and storyboard artist Barry Caldwell has
passed away, according to Paul Dini.
Caldwell was a respected figure in animation, working across
studios like Filmation, Ruby-Spears Productions, Warner Bros. Animation, and
Disney, and contributing to projects featuring characters from Animaniacs to
Pinky and the Brain.
Dini described him as “one of the finest artists” he’d ever
met, highlighting not just his talent, but his humor, generosity, and the way
he could elevate any project he touched. One standout example he pointed to was
Caldwell’s emotional storyboard work on A Pinky & the Brain Christmas,
which helped turn an already strong script into something unforgettable.
Beyond the work, it’s clear this is a loss that’s being felt
personally across the industry.
Rest in peace to a creator who helped shape so many of the characters and moments people grew up with. 🕊️
