Pete Docter Biography
Pete Docter is the Oscar-winning director of Disney and Pixar's “Monsters, Inc.,” “Up,” "Inside Out," and “Soul,” and Chief Creative Officer at Pixar Animation Studios.
Docter is an American animator, film director, screenwriter, producer, voice actor, and chief creative officer of Pixar. He is best known for directing the Pixar animated feature films Monsters, Inc. (2001), Up (2009), Inside Out (2015), and Soul (2020), and as a key figure and collaborator at Pixar. He has been nominated for nine Oscars and has won three for Best Animated Feature - making him the first person in history to win the category three times. He has also been nominated for nine Annie Awards (winning six), a BAFTA Children's Film Award and a Hochi Film Award.
Docter taught himself cartooning, making flip books and homemade animated shorts with a family movie camera. Cartoon director Chuck Jones, producer Walt Disney, and cartoonist Jack Davis were major inspirations. He spent about a year at the University of Minnesota studying both philosophy and making art before transferring to the California Institute of the Arts, where he won a Student Academy Award for his production "Next Door" and graduated in 1990.
Docter served as Vice-President of Creativity at Pixar Animation Studios through June 2018, and following Lasseter stepping down from the role, became the studio's chief creative officer.
