Is Brad Bird related to Haley Joel Osment?

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

That gave me a good laugh, thanks, OP!

 

[WillyFive]

What an ... him for snubbing animation

i hate it when people go hollywood but look at what hollywood did to eddie murphy and so many others. we shouldn't even be surprised at this point.

i guess between conan's new show and this there's pretty much zero chance of a classic simpsons revival. :/

So much for that Incredibles sequel *sigh*

Well, Brad Bird had a good run.

You have all been punked by Brad Bird.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

this is the effect Tom Cruise has on people.

 

[sixteen-bit]

cute.

I can't wait for Incredibles on Blu Ray

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Speaking of, are you Pixar fans hoping that he does well, moderately, or poorly, money-wise, and do you want him to keep switching or to stick with 1 permanently?

I was kind of hoping he'd move up the Disney ladder, like Lasseter. But as long as he's out there making stuff, I'm happy. Hopefully he at least consults with Pixar/Disney again in the future.

 

[Loxley]

That was amazing :lol

 

[Jokergrin]

i love Tom Cruise fuck the haters

 

[Raxus]

i love Tom Cruise fuck the haters

The guy is bonkers but at least he isn't Mel Gibson or Charlie Sheen.

Put the hooker in the closet.

 

[Ezalc]

I'm gonna agree, nothing will top Ratatouille.

There are so many things better than Ratatouille.

 

[SpacLock]

Tom Cruise is the best thing to happen to film.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Hah, nice. Now put that sense of humor and effort into the Incredibles 2 and I can die a happy man.

 

[Cloudius12]

that was unexpected lol

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Brad Bird did Simpsons episodes AND the Bartman? What a fucking man.


MOTHER FUCKER DO WHAT HE SAYS IT'S TOM FUCKING CRUISE

 

[EricHasNoPull]

Fuckin guy just cost me my reputation at work!!

before watching the entire vid, I got excited and sent the video to My Animation Supervisor and told him "See animation does suck, even the greatest Animation Director says so..."

he replies back "You do realize he's joking right!"

This doesn't help my situation since I got lots of footage (work) to hand in still for tomorrow's deadline!!!

FML!!

and Fuck you Brad Bird you prankster motherfucker you!

 

[Dai101]

Brad Bird did Simpsons episodes AND the Bartman? What a fucking man.

Yup. He's the motherfucker man, man

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Fuckign guy cost me my reputation at work just right now, before watching the entire vid, I got excited and sent the video to My Animation Supervisor and told him "See animation does suck, even the greatest Animation Director says so..."

You failed to play it off as a joke AND you demonstratedd to your boss that you're slacking on the job? Double whammy.

 

[EricHasNoPull]

Exactly and I tried to make it like I was "In" on the joke but it was little too awkward and too little too late, ( see he knows my dislike of animation as an animator and passion for Drama in live action films) so I doubt he bought it ...

I just got screwed big time.. like I said, now I am doing my best kissing ass over IM!

 

[MisterHero]

There are so many things better than Ratatouille.

this along with your dislike for Frank West is enough for me to heed your opinions with slightly diminished merit

 

[Instro]

Ha thread title got me good, video was great. Cant wait to see what he does with MI4, I do hope he doesnt completley leave animation, but even if he did Pixar has more than enough talent without him.

 

[SouthernDragon]

I laughed.

 

[Hot Coldman]

The gaiety derived from that video exceeded my self-control tolerances!

 

[EricHasNoPull]

I think he should remake Iron Giant in Live action, it will be pretty incredible, of course the purist would hate it and say "it's totally Unnecessary"

I even doubt myslef that it would be a "better" film than the original animated feature... but non the less, it's such a great story, I think it deserves a live action version also!

What do you think Super 8 is?

No. Not even a purity thing, just a "all child actors are shit" thing.

 

[6.8]

let's face it GAF, he's a sell out.
he's been a failure, the man has never done a successful movie. except those pixar ones, which i suspect may have more to do with pixar than brad bird, and now he's gonna run a shitty franchise even further down the shitter.

im not surprised he would say this. it's not like he has a choice.

 

[Discotheque]

Read the thread title as "Big Bird ..... etc."

Needless to say, I leave disappointed.

lol same. I was kinda hoping it was Big Bird being an asshole.

Brad Bird's aiight I guess. I would see what he meant. But let's face it...he's making Mission Impossible 4. He's not even on Stanton's level in terms of live action films. That guys going for John Carter of Mars sucka.

You're missing out big time on two great ones.

Yeah I know. 1 is a great spy-thriller and 2 is just unabashedly fun cheese. Not to mention one of Zimmer's most bombastic soundtracks ever.

Uh I heard they made a third one...lets not speak of that. The ending of that was like a shit imitation of Lethal Weapon 4's.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

I lost it at the end. Funny stuff.

 

[neoism]

BIRD + CRUISE= FUCKING WIN... MI4 Will be awesome.... vid was awesome.
loloololol

 

[EricHasNoPull]

What do you think Super 8 is?

Ohh Shytt, before last nights superbowl trailer, I had no idea what this was, actually I didn't even know what it was even after seeing it, I watched the trailer again, just now

You may be right it's like IG, without an annoying 10- year old child bad actor as the lead? is it?

No. Not even a purity thing, just a "all child actors are shit" thing.

You have a very legitimate point here that I cannot disagree with

You seem alone with that thought. And you should watch the clip.

I did. I stand by what I said.

 

[dschalter]

the torres of animation.

The fact that you would say that after watching the clip makes no sense.

The page turning in the background was genius

Of course it does, the man had two guns pointed at his head.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

You have all been punked by Brad Bird.

And you've been both Astrolad'd and Wario'd. At the same time!

If you were also Drinky'd, you've have gotten the trifecta of ownage.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Speaking of, are you Pixar fans hoping that he does well, moderately, or poorly, money-wise, and do you want him to keep switching or to stick with 1 permanently?

I'm Brad Bird fan. I just want him to make money and be successful and make things that I'll like to watch.

 

[watkinzez]

I love the page turn coinciding with the pause Brad does.

 

[dude]

It would be awesome if he would have gone up there, and said those things with a serious face. Grade A trolling.

 

[Epcott]

Heh heh, crazy posters.

Animation is in the man's DNA, had no idea he worked on The Fox and the Hound, and Simpsons.

I wonder if he's still planning "1906"?

 

[Rorschach]

I knew where it was going, but it was still pretty funny. I wonder if there will be fallout from the use of guns.

 

[Mgoblue201]

This entire thread must be a test for those people who skip the first post.

LOL. So much for your little Pixar hero, eh, GAF?

Bird makes great movies and I dont hate on Cruise but come on, that was pedestrian comedy.

That was hilarious.
