What a life. |
Long-time friends Ollie and Frank Thomas were cameo-ed by Brad Bird in
The Iron Giant as the train operators, and later in
The Incredibles ("No school like the old school"), providing their own voices in each case.
Jerry Beck posted a marvellous tribute from Bird at his Cartoon Brew site:
