Some incredibly sad news here: Upcoming Pixar reports on the death of Pixar artist Justin Wright, who worked for over a year at the story department. Wright, who is credited as having worked on the end titles to Ratatouille (pictured), died Tuesday night due to heart troubles, according to a post on Pixar story supervisor Ronnie del Carmen's blog. He was 27.

Justin's Mom is a 5th grade teacher and today in her class (I am currently teaching for her) we watched "Ratatouille" in Justin's honor. Although it was time to go home the children stayed glued to the TV until they saw Justin's name. And when finally it came up they all screamed and cheered. He has become their hero. Our prayers are with his family and friends.
