"Pixar Animation Studios was in shock Wednesday after learning of the death of Joe Ranft, one of the founding members of its creative team. The 45-year-old Ranft, who earned an Oscar nomination as a writer on "Toy Story," died Tuesday afternoon in Mendocino County, Calif., when a car he was traveling in plunged off a cliff.
"People cannot say much but just gave each other embraces to quell the sadness..." Pixar storyboard artist Ronnie del Carmen wrote in his blog. "It is the saddest day at Pixar."
"We are all hit hard by this sudden news and we're all beyond sadness here at the studio," Enrico Casarosa, another storyboard artist, wrote in his online journal. "Joe's contribution to animation has been immense and far reaching. He taught and mentored a whole generation of creators. I can't even begin to describe how dearly he will be missed."
Ranft, a veteran of the California Institute of the Arts and Disney, did storyboard and story-development work, and even provided voices for some characters. He played, for example, Wheezy the Penguin in "Toy Story 2." Other credits include "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," "The Lion King," "Monsters Inc." and "Finding Nemo."
The animation community at large expressed its sorrow and shared remembrances at Cartoon Brew, which also featured links to more information about Ranft and his work.
The Hollywood Reporter posted an obituary on Ranft earlier Wednesday."

Sad for the guy and his family, but my shoulders are shaking... Thinking of SNL's "Toonces the Cat."

Well maybe we shouldn't get into that much detail no matter how strange the image might be.

Wow, Weezy is dead?
That's really sad. The Toy Stories are two of my favorite movies ever, and I know that toys around the world are mourning his loss.

nope, not at all. As I even mentioned the picture would be posted or that stupid HA HA HA thing, it is a attempt to lighten up the situation.
I like the man and his work but who wants to fill the thread with everyone sounding like he was their best friend.

Very sad. Maybe he committed suicide? Maybe he found out that Disney is buying Pixar outright?

Actually I know somebody that slid his SVX off a cliff at a subaru meet in the appalachians. Car was messed up, but he lived. Anyway, it's unfortunate. Toy Story was a great movie... I really really really like Monsters Inc, but ... whatever. Sucks he died. Why can't people responsible for crappy movies die first?

Toy Story I & II were terrific. Pixar makes the best animated movies, and it's truly sad this man had to die that way.

The moments before I thought I was going to die in a car crash (walked away, nary a scratch, new Saab, belts & airbag, non-event otherwise, insurance rose, wow!) were quite peaceful. My thoughts? "Hmm. So, this is how i'll die." And a VERY short prayer and my life did sorta pass before my eyes and then I closed them, prepared for the worst and then...silence. The snow fell into the passenger compartment and I just sat there shaking.
Surreal.
BTW, I LOVED TOONCES THE DRIVING CAT!!!

Give petty people just a little bit of power and watch how they misuse it! You can't silence the self doubt, can you?
