Brad Bird is a modern legend in the animation industry, having both written and directed absolute classics like The Incredibles, The Iron Giant, and Ratatouille. He was a key figure in the rise of the Disney-Pixar animation collaboration in the late-1990s and early-2000s, but it’s worth noting that Bird has done fine work in the live-action field, too, including Tomorrowland and Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. He has Incredibles 3 on the way, and his latest work, Ray Gunn, sees him work with Netflix.
