Sad news, particularly for Pixar fans. Joe Ranft, story and voice guru, died in a car crash:
In addition to being an outstanding Story Supervisor who was considered by many to be "at the heart and soul of the company," Ranft provided the memorable voices for Wheezy the Penguin in 'Toy Story 2,' Heimlich in 'A Bug's Life,' and Jacques in 'Finding Nemo.'
Luxo has much more here and here, along with a link to a touching tribute page. Thanks to bertie for calling this to my attention.
That is indeed a very moving tribute page. I couldn't bear to read it all, too too real.
