How did Brad Bird Get noticed by Disney Animation?

I mean how did he get noticed as a teenager by making a cartoon? Did he send it? Or did he know disney animators? I looked online but can't find out.

Answers: Brad Bird finished his first animated film when he was 13, and it was noticed by Disney. He ended up being mentored by Milt Kahl, arguably Disney's greatest animator (and a member of Disney's "nine old men"). Source(s):
This is a really cool short interview of Brad Bird talking about Milt Kahl and his time at Disney:
