Since joining Pixar Animation Studios in 1990—where he began by animating and directing television commercials—quadruple Academy Award-nominated moviemaker Pete Docter has enjoyed a prestigious career as one of the leading creative minds in the field. From supervising animator (and story/character developer) on the benchmark computer-generated feature Toy Story, to directing the global hit—and Best Animated Feature Film Oscar nominee—Monsters, Inc., Docter continues to bring his Midas touch to every project on which he works. Next for Docter is Disney-Pixar’s Up, which he directs and also serves as co-screenwriter.
