Supercut: The Films of Brad Bird

Director Brad Bird's new film Tomorrowland is in theaters right now, and even though the film has been a dividing one in the critical community, Bird's previous movies are almost universally recognized as being masterpieces.

The Playlist points us to this cool supercut of the director's (admittedly still small) feature film career from editor Joel Walden, and it's a nice reminder of some of the finer moments in Bird's filmography. Check it out:

If I'm ever looking for inspiration, the work of the brilliantly imaginative Brad Bird is what I often turn to.
