@thisisspartacus As much as I like hand drawn animation, I have to admit it's much, much more expensive to do than computer animation. Even Walt Disney was disappointed on a couple of hits he put out in his time because the profits would barely cover what was spent making the films (and it was a crap loads of money)
-
I love the bad chroma key, evident in Brad's hair. Those Pixar compositors must be laughing their butts off.

Erica sounds like a creaky door hinge

I hope Pixar has future plans on building a traditional cel animation studio and really committing to "bringing back" hand drawn animation. The general public seems to think that it's CG animated movies that killed the hand drawn movies (of course that's not the case), but if Pixar created something 2D and it was big it would just mean that what matters is the story, and not necessarily the medium in which it's created, which is of course what Pixar has always said.

He is just the cutest!

hey

They say genius is the ability to say things that others can't.
Bird fits that bill to a T. He is an astute observer of the art of storytelling. Watch FAMILY DOG and go through all of his work up until Ratatouille.
He is able to distill the essential qualities of what make films tick. He sees beyond the "ghetto-ization" of animation ("it is not a genre. it's a medium!") and at the end of the day, just wants to tell good stories.
Whether that's animation or live-action doesn't matter.
