Tragedy struck off the coast of California when Joe Ranft, the voice of several beloved animated characters and the head writer at Hollywood's award-winning Pixar animation studio, was killed in a traffic accident.
Mr. Ranft, who as writer was credited with a number of Pixar's cinematic hits, died when the vehicle he was in plunged more than a hundred feet off a coastal highway. Also dead was the driver of the Honda Element carrying him and another passenger, who survived the accident.

My deepest condolences to Mr. Ranft's family and friends.
One of his characters, Hemlich the Caterpillar, was my favorite character in A Bug's Life. That movie, which I've always enjoyed, will never be quite the same to me.
May Mr. Ranft rest in peace.
