Brad Bird to curate this season of TCM's The Essentials

  • The director behind The Iron Giant, Ratatouille and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol will share 20 of his favorite classic films weekly, starting Saturday, May 2. "He sees so many stories through the eyes of an animator, providing a rare perspective on movies we think we know well, like Casablanca, Dr. Strangelove and The Searchers," says The Essentials host Ben Mankiewicz. "And his childlike enthusiasm for movies, animated and live action, is unparalleled and infectious.”
