For the second year in a row, Bren and I have been nominated for an Annie Award, along with film composer Joel McNeely. It’s for the music we wrote for the latest Tinker Bell film, “Secret of the Wings”; we’re in the “Music in an Animated Feature Production” category. The awards ceremony will be February 2, 2013 at Royce Hall at UCLA. Wish us luck! Once again, the competition is fierce:
