What a good movie

>Brad Bird replaced Jan Pinkava as the director less than 2 years before the movie premiered
>all the character designs were created under Pinkava's direction, so Bird didn't bring his team of Incredibles character designers when he took over the project

Thank goodness. I can't stand the designs from Incredibles

Reminder that the Iron Giant/Incredibles guy didn't come up with this movie. He just replaced the original director less than 2 years before it premiered.

The Iron Giant and The Incredibles were movies by Brad Bird from start to finish.

Pic related is a different case tho. Jan Pinkava came up with the concept, and he was the director for most of its production. Bird just replaced him as the director more or less 2 years before it premiered. Pinkava still got a co-director credit in the final movie.
