In the middle of 2005, Bird was asked by the Pixar management team to write and direct "Ratatouille", which Jan Pinkava had been in charge of at the time. This change was announced in March 2006 during a Disney shareholders meeting. The film was released in 2007, and was another critical and box office success for Bird. "Ratatouille" won the Best Animated Feature award at the 2008 Golden Globes; it was also nominated for 5 Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature and Best Original Screenplay. On February 24, 2008, "Ratatouille" won Bird his second Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film.
