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.

1957- When The Soviet Union launches Sputnik into space, the U.S government fears that a nuclear attack is inevitable, so they enlist the help of Japanese scientist Akikho Minatomo, known in his home country as “The Alchemist” for his scientific breakthroughs, to help design a defense mechanism involving a super robot powered by robotic monkeys who also have defense mechanisms of their own. These monkey bots include Mandarin, the wisest of the group and their leader, who also has a slowly growing superiority complex, Antauri, who is the most powerful of the group, Sparx, who has electrical powers, and is also the comedian of the group, Gibson, the brains of the operation, Otto, the inventor, and Nova, the second strongest and the only female of the team. Meanwhile, some unknown signals are appearing on earth’s radars, which actually come from Colonel Bleep of the planet Futura. Now the Monkeys must team up with this force to defeat the evil that is being threatened, but little do they know that the Soviets may not be the real bad guys.
