Line 4:
'''Brad Bird''' is a screenwriter/director from Kalispell, Montana. His experience lies mostly within the realm of animation, and he's also known as one of the directors to actually bob and weave his way around the concept of the [[Animation Age Ghetto]], due to most of his works looking aesthetically cartoony, but having a maturity and depth that rivals most live-action pieces. Bird got his start working as an animator on ''[[Animalympics]]'', [[Disney]]'s ''[[The Fox and the Hound (film)]]'' and Martin Rosen's ''[[The Plague Dogs]]'', and moved on to work with [[Steven Spielberg]] in his ''[[Amazing Stories (TV series)|Amazing Stories]]'' anthology series, notably with a short titled "Family Dog". He got his big break after he managed to grab the attention of [[Tracey Ullman]], and began work alongside [[Matt Groening]] on a crude animated series that premiered on her show, called ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''.
Bird's most recent{{verify}} claims to fame include two films that captured his love of the classic comic book stories, ''[[The Iron Giant]]'' and ''[[The Incredibles]]'', the latter of which was the beginning of his tenure at [[Pixar]]. His last{{verify}} film was the Pixar-produced ''[[Ratatouille]]''. His latest directing gig is the fourth installment of the ''[[Mission: Impossible (film)|Mission Impossible]]'' films, which is his live-action debut. The film has received extremely positive reviews, particularly for its action scenes.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Bird has vowed to punch out the next person who calls animation a "genre", as he believes it is a medium that can tell any kind of story.
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: When he was working on [[The Incredibles]], he had a very specific idea in mind for how the superhero fashion designer Edna Mode was to sound. He demonstrated this for the voice actress he hired, who then told him to just take the role himself- he had it down cold.
* [[Deconstructor Fleet]]: It would appear that Bird loves to take his childhood to pieces and play with the bits.
** [[Reconstruction]]: But then he puts them back together better than ever.
