Joe Ranft, Pixar Animation Studios' head of story for more than a decade and a cornerstone of the company's creative team, died Aug. 15 when the car he was riding in plunged into the ocean after running off the road in Mendocino County, Calif., according to The Hollywood Reporter. He was 45.

Thats too bad, in a world of Hollywood remakes, Pixar stood out with outstanding original stories that both adults and children could enjoy.

I am sure Mr. Ranft will be missed by all.

Sad news.................

Yeah, but look at what he helped to create! He shall be missed and remembered
