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.

This trilogy is comprised of the following three titles: The Flash, Flashpoint, and The Flash: Enlightenment. The first film sees Barry Allen obtain his powers, at the hands of Eobard Thawne, in the body of Harrison Wells, which ultimately results in a showdown between The Flash and Reverse-Flash. Flashpoint takes place seconds after the first one, with an angered Barry Allen with the overwhelming revelation of his mother's killer. He races back in time to save his mother, only to realize the severe ramifications of doing so. Barry faces a ticking clock to fix the mess he started. The third and final film in the trilogy reveals that supreme-intellect, Clifford DeVoe, was pulling strings all along to seek the age of the enlightenment dawn upon the earth. Barry and his team must join forces once more to beat Thinker and save the world.
