this was the best prank ever created by stars themselves. i fell for it, i laughed at it and i even thought that was brad bird holding the award in his hand. this was down right genius!
Oh my God even the simplest video these guys making are the coolest thing you've ever seen in your life ! The ending was so hilarious ! love you Brad Bird xx
@timerider4 Brad Bird is currently directing Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, which is why he wasn't at the awards to accept the award. Tom Cruise (obviously) and Simon Pegg are both in the film, which explains why they're there.
5:55 It was at this moment we shouldn't have been surprised that Tom Cruise had no problem putting on a fat suit and a bald cap and dance to hip hop music.
@hugeackman Up was in pre-production loooong before that student film was released. They were in South America doing research for the movie in 2004 and that's when the story started to be written, 3 years before the french student film was released. Cars is based on director John Jassater's cross country road trip with his family that took him all up and down Route 66. The Incredibles borrows more from Watchmen than Fantastic 4, and even then the similarities are miniscule.
this is so great when he first started talking i was shocked that a man of his caliber would give such a flat acceptance speech but of course he proved me wrong :) very funny
@AmazingAxiomcrew I thought he was serious too and was like "wtf, he is really saying live action is better?" but he seemed to be reading so I caught on on the joke before the pull out xD
@hugeackman Just about every movie ever made borrows from other movies or story ideas or is a direct retelling of a specific story. If you do much writing you quickly discover that there are only so many stories out there, and no matter how you try to tell some story you're gonna end up with similarities to something, even if you're not aware of it. I doubt the Pixar people were thinking of Doc Hollywood when they made cars. They just had similar plot elements and issues, thus similar solutions.
oh GREAT ...first Tom Cruise was converting actors to Scientology and now he's converting ANIMATORS into ...GASP.... .....LIVE ACTION DIRECTORS??!! NUTS i tell ya He's NUTS !!!!!

The third act, oh my god I couldn't stop laughing ! Great job to Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg and Brad Bird !
"I'm sorry I can't be there to receive this award in person tonight because I'm tied up elsewhere..."

This video is fricking great.
You deserve it Brad Bird, one hell of a legend and a staple in my childhood.
Wow. Best RUclips vid I've seen in a long time.
I'm tied up elsewhere ~~ classic.
As fucked up as Scientology is, I can't hate Tom Cruise, he has a great sense of humour.
Such a legend, best acceptance speech ever :)

A well executed speech!
OMG That was hilarious. I was wondering why he was reading his acceptance speech. Brilliant!
OMG HE was Edna Mode's voice?? There has to be some voice distortion made in post-pro, because it sounds different, but still... HOLY COW!
BRAD BIRD FOR STAR WARS 2015!!!!!
lol omg I love you, Brad Bird. What a genius :3
2:17 those conductors are caricatures of 2 of the forefathers of animation.

@mandarinisgreek2me I believe you, but interestingly, when we see him making the voice, it sounds quite different from the movie.
awesome!
It's kinda messed up that Satoshi Kon dies and they give the award to Brad Bird. Brad Bird is great and still has a long career ahead of him.
IRON GIANT 4EVER
amazing
Holy shit, it's like this video was directed by Shyamalan
Awesome sauce :)

Brad Bird is cool.
anyone who's worked on the simpsons is fucking brilliant. especially if said genius was a director

@TheMindHeist NO, I'M FUCKING TOM CRUISE!
Haha, epic!
Stop feeding the troll guys
I hope that this is not true. I hope Brad does not quit working in animation.
what video is that in the bottom left corner in the first couple seconds of the start?
Any help is appreciated
Fucking zoom back in!
Paaaahhahaaa. This is what genius looks like
really? Brad thinks live action is less stressful than animation?
I'M TOM FUCKING CRUISE
So cool..now Tom jump on the couch 4 being funny.
Hilarious!!!..I hope Brad is okay!
Here's a tip: if you don't want to give away the joke, then don't put said joke in the title of the bloody video! Good lord it's not that hard.
+1 Tom Cruise
If Brad Bird actually quit animation forever I think I'd kill myself.
sorry won't happen
The Annie Awards is the biggest bullshit I have ever seen. How to Train your Dragon over Toy Story 3 and The Illusionist? Really?
Toy Story 3 won the golden globe and the Oscar so HTTYD won the annie fair in square
faux terrorism, not funny ...
