's The Incredibles
(2004) and Ratatouille
(2007). He also adapted and directed the critically acclaimed 2D animated 1999 Warner Brothers film The Iron Giant

" and "Like Father, Like Clown
".
business, and his grandfather, Frank W. Bird, was a president and chief executive of the Montana Power Company
. On a tour of the Walt Disney Studios at age 11, he announced that someday he would become part of its animation team, and soon afterward began work on his own 15-minute animated short. Within two years, Bird had completed his animation, which impressed the cartoon company. By age 14, barely in high school, Bird was mentored by the animator Milt Kahl
, one of Disney’s legendary Nine Old Men
. Bird recalls Kahl's criticisms as ideal: Kahl would point out shortcomings by gently delivering thoughts on where Bird could improve. After graduating from Corvallis High School in Corvallis, Oregon
in 1975, Bird took a three-year break. He was then awarded a scholarship by Disney to attend California Institute of the Arts
, where he met and befriended another future animator, Pixar co-founder and director John Lasseter
.
in 1981.
He next worked on animated television series, with much shorter lead times. He was the creator (writer, director, and co-producer) of the Family Dog episode of Steven Spielberg
's Amazing Stories. In addition, Bird co-wrote the screenplay for the live-action film *batteries not included
. In 1989 Bird joined Klasky Csupo
, where he helped to develop The Simpsons
from one-minute shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show
into a series of half-hour programs. In 1990, he directed the episode "Krusty Gets Busted
" (which marked the first speaking role of Sideshow Bob
) and co-directed the Season Three episode "Like Father, Like Clown
." He served as an executive consultant for the show for its first eight seasons. He worked on several other animated television series, including The Critic
and King of the Hill before pitching Warner Brothers to write and direct the animated film The Iron Giant
. Despite receiving near-universal acclaim from critics, it failed at the box office domestically, but grossed $103 million worldwide, making it at least a moderate box office success from there. The film impressed his old friend John Lasseter
, founder of the computer-animation pioneer Pixar
. Bird pitched the idea for The Incredibles
to Pixar. In the finished picture, Bird also provides the voice of costume designer Edna Mode. As an inside joke, the character Syndrome was based on Bird's likeness and according to him, he did not realize the joke until the movie was too far into production to have it changed. The film became both a major critical and financial success. As a result, Bird won his first Academy Award for Best Animated Feature
, and his screenplay was nominated for Best Original Screenplay.
In the middle of 2005, Bird was asked by the Pixar management team to take over Ratatouille
from its previous director Jan Pinkava
. This change was announced in March 2006, during a presentation at a Disney shareholders meeting. The film was released in 2007; like The Incredibles, the film was another critical and box office success. In January 2008, Ratatouille won the Best Animated Feature
award at the Golden Globes; it was also nominated for 5 Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature and Best Original Screenplay. On February 24, 2008, Ratatouille won Bird his second Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film.
Bird has spoken passionately about animation as an art form. When Bird and producer John Walker
recorded the Director's Commentary for The Incredibles DVD, he jokingly offered to punch the next person that he heard call animation a genre instead of an art form. Bird believes animation can be used to tell any kind of story—drama or comedy, for an adult audience or children.
Before he was sidetracked by Ratatouille, Bird began work on a film adaptation of James Dalessandro
's novel 1906, which would be his first live action project. In March 2008, Bird resumed work on the film, which is a co-production between Pixar and Warner Bros. The novel, narrated by reporter Annalisa Passarelli, examines police officers battling corruption in the government that causes the 1906 San Francisco earthquake
to turn into such a disaster. The script was co-written by John Logan
. Blogger Jim Hill suggested the film has been on hold due to Disney / Pixar and Warner Bros.' nervousness over the projected $200 million budget. In May 2010, with 1906
apparently still stalled, Bird signed on as the director of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, produced by Tom Cruise
and J. J. Abrams
.
, The Incredibles
and Ratatouille
– have been released to rave reviews. According to review aggregation website Metacritic, all three have received a rare universal acclaim rating, tallying together to give Brad Bird an average score of 90 out of 100 per film, making him one of the most acclaimed living filmmakers, animated or otherwise.
