He was an Oscar-Nominated animator who  designed the lead character "Woody" for 'Toy Story.'

Luckey also created counting cartoons for 'Sesame Street' and as a voice actor in 'The Incredibles' and 'Winnie the Pooh.'

Quoted in the "Hollywood Reporter," Bud Luckey is one of the true unsung heroes of animation," Pixar and Disney animation chief John Lasseter once said. "Bud helped design most of the films we've made from Toy Story [in 1995] onward. He was the fifth animator hired here at Pixar."
