Heartbroken over the loss of Rob Gibbs. If you or your kids have seen any Pixar CarsToons shorts, Rob directed most of ’em. His daughter was the voice of Boo in Monsters, Inc. He was such a positive, hilarious, and heartfelt guy, who cared a lot for his crew. Will miss him. pic.twitter.com/EefgQrHNRr

This is a great loss for everyone who grew up watching his beautiful and motivating animation films. 

Rob was highly regarded for his great contribution to the animation industry and for his contribution to many well-known Pixar films such as ‘Toy Story 2’, ‘Finding Nemo’, ‘Monsters’, ‘Inc.’, ‘Incredibles 2’ and many more.  Apparently, the artist was highly inspired by the cartoon shows ‘Looney Tunes’ and ‘Popeye’ and that’s how he got the inspiration for his craftwork.

We the team of The Live Mirror offer our deepest condolences to his family and may his soul rest in peace.
