Congrats to Bruce Timm
Winner of the Annie's Winsor McCay Award in recognition of career contributions in animation. (Jeffrey Katzenberg and Tim Burton also received McCays.) Complete 37th Annie winners list here. I'm more amazed that Timm lasted over two decades at Warner Bros. (Along with Alan Burnett.) There should be an award for that. In a way, I guess there is. It's called a 'paycheck.'

Wow, congrats to him!!!
Is it that hard to stick with an animation company?
For over two decades, yes. Mostly you're hired for a show, then released at the end of production.
It's pretty darn hard outside animation.
I'm still waiting to be subsidized at home for good intentions.
My former roommate did budgets for indie films. He told me that in his field it's more about working with a network of people that for companies. Producerst that liked his work are likely to hire him again and he's likely to recommend people he feels comfortable working with. Is it something like that in the mainstream animation field??
Yeah, pretty much. It never hurts to know someone running a show.
