Philip Bradley Bird (born September 24, 1957) is an American filmmaker, animator, and voice actor. He has had a career spanning over four decades in both live-action and animation. Bird was born in Montana and grew up in Oregon. He developed an interest in the art of animation early on, and completed his first short subject by age 14. Bird sent the film to Walt Disney Productions, leading to an apprenticeship from the studio's Nine Old Men. He attended the California Institute of the Arts in the late 1970s, and worked for Disney shortly thereafter. In the 1980s, Bird worked in film development with various studios. He co-wrote Batteries Not Included (1987), and developed two episodes of Amazing Stories for Steven Spielberg, including its spin-off (based on a segment written by Bird for the show), the widely panned animated sitcom Family Dog. Afterwards, Bird joined the animated sitcom The Simpsons as creative consultant for eight seasons. He directed the animated film The Iron Giant (1999); though acclaimed, it was a box-office bomb. Bird moved to Pixar where he wrote and directed two successful animated films, The Incredibles (2004) and Ratatouille (2007). They earned Bird two Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature wins and Best Original Screenplay nominations. He transitioned to live-action filmmaking with similarly successful Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011), he then directed Disney's Tomorrowland (2015). He returned to Pixar to develop Incredibles 2 (2018), which became the second-highest-grossing animated film of all time during its theatrical run, and earned him another nomination for the Academy Award. Bird has a reputation for supervising his projects to a high degree of detail. He advocates for creative freedom and the possibilities of animation, and has criticized its stereotype as children's entertainment, or classification as a genre, rather than an art.

Four years after the events of the second movie, Bob (Mr. Incredible) is facing having a condition that middle-aged people can sometimes get, and it's the kind that might force him to retire from hero work. Dash is 14 and about to graduate middle school, Violet just turned 18 and not only she's about to graduate high school, she's in a loving relationship with Tony Rydinger. Violet also hopes to get accepted into the same college that Tony is going to. Jack-Jack is 4 and he wants to fight in the field with other heroes, even though he's told he's too young. Frozone and his wife have a daughter of three years. The third movie is centered more on the kids. Helen tells the kids to focus more on their last week's of school than on hero stuff, and that they will not be allowed to use their powers until graduation. Violet got accepted, but Helen and Bob are reluctant to tell her that they can't afford to pay the tuition. So Dash does a risky move to help provide for her sister: working undercover at a young bad guy organization, which is where he heard the cool kids at his school hang out, and once he has his share of the money, he'll have the hoodlums turned in and Violet's tuition will be paid. Also, Edna Mode is now making the headlines with her super-suit designs. To be continued... There will be old friends and old enemies. The main villain has a long complicated revenge plot on the entire Incredible family.
