Did anyone hear about this?
A huge shock hit the animation industry today when it was reported that Joe Ranft, one of Pixar's founding members and head of story, passed away August 16th at the age of 45 in a tragic car accident.
In addition to Ranft's contributions to the animation industry, he also provided popular voices for several of Pixar's films including Lenny the Binoculars in Toy Story, Wheezy the Penguin in Toy Story 2, and Heimlich the Caterpillar in A Bug's Life.
More information can be found at The Hollywood Reporter: "A spokeswoman for the Mendocino County Sheriff-Coroner's Office confirmed Ranft was one of two people who died when their car veered off the road while traveling northbound on Highway 1".
