Edited to add:
Why should you care that Joe Ranft died? Well, according to Luxo's calculations:
In addition to being an outstanding Story Supervisor who was considered by many to be "at the heart and soul of the company," Ranft provided the memorable voices for Wheezy the Penguin in 'Toy Story 2,' Heimlich in 'A Bug's Life,' and Jacques in 'Finding Nemo.'
He also contributed his talents to 'Toy Story,' 'Monsters, Inc.,' 'The Incredibles,' Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas,' 'Beauty and the Beast,' 'Oliver and Company,' 'The Rescuers Down Under,' 'Fantasia 2000,' 'The Lion King', 'The Brave Little Toaster' series, 'James and the Giant Peach,' 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' and 'Monkeybone.'
In other words, Joe Ranft is part of the fabric of your life, and your child's. His work has become a part of your life, without you even realizing it. Many of those films Joe didn't just contribute to, he put his soul into. When you were laughing or being touched, it was often Joe's doing.
You should care because you've lost something significant without even realizing it.
