Incredibles 2 director Brad Bird reveals new musical project

Oscar winning-director Brad Bird (Incredibles 2, Ratatouille, The Incredibles) revealed at the BAFTA Tea Party that his next project will be “an original project” which he described as a musical with “about 20 minutes of animation in it.”

“I don’t know anything about musicals so I figured I should do this, because I’m deathly afraid of it and that sounds like a cool thing,” Bird said. “It’s a project I’ve been wanting to make for a long time, it’s got “about 20 minutes of animation in it.”

The filmmaker went on to confirm that composer Michael Giacchino will do the music for the project, the pair have previously collaborated on both Incredibles movies plus Ratatouille, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, and Tomorrowland.
