William "Bud" Luckey (born July 28, 1934) is an American cartoonist, animator, singer, musician, composer and voice actor. He is best known for his work at Pixar as a character designer for ''Toy Story'', ''Boundin''', ''Toy Story 2'', ''A Bug's Life'', ''Monsters, Inc.'', ''Finding Nemo'', ''Cars'', ''The Incredibles'', ''Ratatouille'' and ''Toy Story 3''. As a voice for animated characters Luckey is known as the voice of Rick Dicker in ''The Incredibles'', Chuckles the Clown in ''Toy Story 3'' and as the ''Winnie the Pooh'' character Eeyore. Luckey is beloved by generations of ''Sesame Street'' viewers for over a dozen short animated films he made for that program—many of which were co-produced/created with his longtime friend and creative collaborator writer/lyricist Don Hadley (1936-2007). At age 69, Luckey wrote, directed, composed and performed as the solo singer/narrator on the Pixar 2004 Animated Short film ''Boundin''' which won the Annie Award as well as an Academy Award (Oscar) nomination in the Best Animated Short Film category. Luckey semi-retired from Pixar in 2008 but continues to work with the studio from time to time and with the parent Disney organization—primarily as a performer of character voices.
