The animation industry has lost a giant. Rest in peace to Ralph Eggleston, a great artist and #CalArts alum.
RIP, Ralph Eggleston, who has died from pancreatic cancer at 56. He won an Oscar for his short 'For the Birds,' but that doesn't even begin to describe his legacy. Pixar films look the way they do in large part because of him. A cornerstone of that company. Full obit to come.
