Jonas Rivera Biography
Jonas Rivera is a producer known for his contributions to animated filmmaking at Pixar Animation Studios. Rivera joined Pixar to work on "Toy Story" as the studio's first production intern. Inspired by a viewing of Pixar's short film "Luxo Jr." during his studies, he contacted Pixar and secured an internship during the final year of production on "Toy Story."
Rivera advanced through various roles at the studio, including art department coordinator for "A Bug's Life," marketing and creative resources coordinator on "Toy Story 2," art department manager on "Monsters, Inc.," and production manager on "Cars." He contributed to nearly every Pixar feature film before becoming producer of "Up," which earned a nomination for Best Picture by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, making it only the second animated film to receive this recognition.
Rivera collaborated with director Pete Docter on "Inside Out," which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and received a nomination for Best Original Screenplay. He produced "Up," "Inside Out," and "Toy Story 4," each of which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Rivera became the first U.S.-born Latino to win multiple Academy Awards in animation. He also served as executive producer on Pixar's feature film "Inside Out 2."
Rivera's work has been recognized by the Producers Guild, which named him Producer of the Year in Animated Features three times for "Up," "Inside Out," and "Toy Story 4." He serves as executive vice president for film production at Pixar Animation Studios, overseeing operational aspects of film and streaming production. Rivera is a keynote speaker on topics including creativity, innovation, leadership, and film, drawing on his experience from intern to studio executive and his role in shaping animated storytelling and production.
