I apologize if this has already been posted. Looked around and couldn't find it!

" Matt Hodge, teenage son of animation writer/producer Tim Hodge (Mulan, VeggieTales). Back in August Matt was in a car that was struck by a train. He survived but remains in a coma. When it was time for the Hodge’s health insurance to be renewed the insurance company decided they would no longer cover Matt since he now had a “pre-existing condition”. So the Hodge’s are on their own to cover all future medical bills.
To help out, animation artist Chad Frye, with the help of the National Cartoonists Society Foundation, has been working hard to put together the coolest ebay auction ever. Artists from all corners of the animation and cartooning industries have donated original artwork to help raise money for the Hodge’s. Approximately 150 items have been donated including work by some top-drawer artists, as well as maquettes, posters, and signed DVDs. There’s so much cool stuff I don’t even know where to begin!"
This is a great opportunity for those who like to collect animation originals. For Chris Sanders fans (like myself, but I'm a brokie), there's Lilo and Stitch backgrounds and color cues up for auction, not only that but original drawings that have been used for his comic, Kiskaloo. Don Bluth DVDs (Banjo!), Emperor's New Groove Maquette, Mulan (so much), even signed Lion King pictures.
I know there must be some Disney collectors around here that would love some of these pieces and also love to help out an important member of the Disney Animation family. There are some excellent works or art from a wide variety of Disney films and projects.
