RIP Joe Ranft
« on: August 18, 2005, 08:27:11 AM »
The story guy Pixar who made all those movies so good.  His car ran offf the road in Mendocino & into the ocean.

He had story credits on The Rescuers, Beauty & The Beast, and the Lion King while at Disney, then joined Pixar & was Head of Story for Toy Story, Bugs Life & Toy Story 2.  He also did a lot of voices, including Heimlich in Bugs Life, Wheezy in Toy Story 2 & Jacques the shrimp in Finding Nemo.  In Monsters Inc., if you pay attention to the scoreboard battle between Sully & Boggs, the third place name is Ranft.

Here's a blog from a co-worker:
