    I know this might be slightly controversial. But in my opinion, Brad Bird is the greatest director of all of the people who directed films for Pixar.

    At 13:00 he talks about dash running on water, and just wow, that one insight really made that scene one of the most iconic scenes in any animated movie. People REMEMBER Dash’s chuckle when he realizes he can run on water, it’s such a pure reaction to his moment of victory.
    “The action wasn’t enough. It’s how does the character feel about the action? Then action becomes character, which becomes more interesting.”

    Moral of the story (or ar least the one I would tell) you don't have to stop enjoying cartoons. If you are allowed to enjoy sports as both a kid and an adult, you should be allowed to enjoy cartoons as both a kid and adult

    Brad Bird and I are a lot alike. We both know that animation is not just for children. I am working on an animated film called Plush, which utilizes a lot of kid-friendly elements in an adult fashion. Kids go on fun imaginative adventures with their plush animals, but they also have close intimate relations with them and they hump their plush animals in bed. If Bob Parr was always a Craig T. Nelson-type of character, then Becca Blue in Plush is an Ashleigh Ball-type of character. Her tomboyish voice is sweet, sassy, and very sexy. I knew Plush needed a girl who sounds just like Rainbow Dash. February 26, 2020, 10:02pm

    Pixar was founded around the idea of really smart, really talented people trying to make movies that they themselves love.
    Hence all their best movies are super-enjoyable for adults.
    (It's irrevocably baked into the mission.)

      I would like a third The Incredibles, but not just to have a trilogy. I also want The Incredibles 3 so we can have a sequel that does not recycle the plot of the first The Incredibles, tell an original story with superheroes getting re-legalized, and most importantly, bring back *The Underminer!* John Ratzenberger deserves better than 5 minutes of screen time at the beginning of a sequel.

    UA-cam flags Incredibles, Ratatouille and Incredibles 2 as "children's movies" and mark the movies and their clips as "made for kids" Not only is UA-cam wrong, but it directly goes against its director's vision. Animation is not, and never will be a genre no matter the general misconception. Animation directors should have the ability to appeal to whatever audience they desire.

    Great new insights from the creative giant Brad Bird! While the interviewer had good questions, I found his smug cavalier attitude distracting. Here he's talking to one of the greatest directors of all time, and he carries on as if he is an equal. I've never heard of the guy - there's thousands of people that could ask good questions. A little humility would be good.
