  • Barnes builds costumes using everyday items through "closet cosplay," encouraging others to embrace the community despite initial intimidation. "My style is a little chaotic and unhinged and imperfect," she says.
  • Inside a packed Hall at Comic-Con International on Thursday, 6,000 fans cheered as director Brad Bird shared stories and clips from his celebrated films including The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille.

  • Reflecting on his career, Bird discussed his Disney Legend mentor Milt Kahl's creative philosophy and explained his own approach to notes: "I don't mind notes if they're not stupid.
