Brad Bird is an odd bird. An animating prodigy who directed his first short film at 13 and began working with a mentor at Disney a year later, he’s best known as a director of smart, visually innovative animated films, with a list of now-classic titles to his name—The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, Ratatouille. In addition to winning Oscars for both The Incredibles and Ratatouille, Bird also holds the record for winning more Annies (the annual award for achievement in animation) than any other single person, including one for his indelible voicing of the diminutive fashion guru Edna Mode in The Incredibles. Bird transitioned to live-action filmmaking with great success in Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol, whose jaw-dropping, skyscraper-scaling action sequences and inventive use of the IMAX format helped make it the highest-grossing and best-reviewed film of that franchise.
