Brad Bird
Brad Bird is an American animator, director, screenwriter, producer and voice actor who is best recognized for his work on animated films such as 'The Iron Giant', 'The Incredibles', 'Ratatouille' and 'The Incredibles 2', all of which he wrote and directed. He won two 'Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature' for 'The Incredibles' and 'Ratatouille', and also earned nominations for 'Best Original Screenplay' for both. He directed the Tom Cruise-starrer blockbuster live action movie 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol' and directed, produced and co-wrote the George Clooney film 'Tomorrowland'. Mentored by legendary Disney animator Milt Kahl, he briefly worked at Disney Studios before moving to television. While he has worked on several television shows, his most significant contribution to the small screen was developing 'The Simpsons' into a full series. He is currently working on an original musical film with animations and is still hopeful for his long-shelved pet project, a film adaptation of James Dalessandro's historical fiction '1906'. He owns the production company A113 Productions, named after his classroom at CalArts.

Brad Bird's 'Iron Giant' Score Gets a Vinyl Release Date

The Iron Giant’s original motion picture soundtrack will receive a deluxe 2-LP vinyl release on August 5; it is now available for pre-order at all retailers. The casing for the two records includes a tab opening involving the Giant’s eyes. The color of the eyes depends on which record sleeve is behind the cover. The case itself has two different yet awesome eye openings as well, with a choice between defense and normal mode. The extra interactive touch to case design alone is enough to buy the vinyl collection, honestly. However, the music is also worth checking out and has since become one of the most iconic soundtracks of any animated feature.
