It might seem a bit premature for Brad Bird to be given the supercut tribute treatment, considering he’s only directed five feature films, but his track record so far is very impressive. He’s got three contemporary animated classics under his belt with "The Iron Giant," "The Incredibles" and "Ratatouille." He’s also managed to take the "Mission: Impossible" franchise to new heights (literally, the Burj Khalifa sequence is one of the finest moments of the series) with "Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol." And while he’s made his first misfire with "Tomorrowland" (our review), it’s worth remembering that until this point, Bird has been knocking it out of the park.
Joel Walden has put together this video tribute and it’s pretty slick, well done stuff. Matching cuts from movie to movie, this is a quick run through Bird’s movies in just a couple of minutes capturing the spirit, wonder and humor infused in his work. Check it out below, and maybe it’ll inspire to give you rewatch of some of Bird’s films this Memorial Day weekend.
