-'''Pete Docter''' has been one of the key people in the development of many [[Pixar Animation Studios|Pixar]] films and is one of the original members of the [[Brain Trust]]. He directed ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'' and ''[[Up]]'' and his currently working on an untitled [[Inside the Human Mind film|Human Mind]] film.

-==Biography==
+  | date_of_birth = October 9, 1968<br/>Bloomington, Minnesota, United States
-===Early Life===
+  | date_of_death =
-Docter was born in Bloomington, Minnesota, growing up introverted and socially isolated, preferring to work alone and having to remind himself to connect with others. He often played in the creek beside his house, pretending to be Indiana Jones and acting out scenes. A junior-high classmate later described him as "this kid who was really tall, but who was kind of awkward, maybe getting picked on by the school bullies because his voice change at puberty was very rough".
+  | cause_of_death =
+  | nationality = American
-Both his parents worked in education: his mother, Rita, taught music and his father, Dave, was a choral director at Normandale Community College. He attended Nine Mile Elementary School, Oak Grove Junior High, and John F. Kennedy High School in Bloomington. Unlike his two sisters, Kirsten Docter, who is now the violist of the Cavani String Quartet,and Kari Docter, a cellist with the Metropolitan Opera, Docter was not particularly interested in music. Nevertheless, he can be seen playing on [[Michael Giacchino]]'s score on the [[Up Home Video|''Up'' Blu-Ray]] extra features. He taught himself cartooning, making flip books and homemade animated shorts with a family movie camera. He later described his interest in animation as a way to "play God", making up nearly living characters. Cartoon director Chuck Jones and 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. Although Docter had planned to work for the Disney Corporation, his best offers came from Pixar and from the producers of The Simpsons. He did not think much of Pixar at that time, and later considered his choice to work there a strange and unusual one

-===Career===
+{{Wikipedia}}
-Before joining Pixar, Docter had created three non-computer animations, ''Next Door'', ''Palm Springs'', and ''Winter''. He was a fan of the company's early short films, but he knew nothing about them otherwise. He commented in an October 2009 interview, "Looking back, I kind of go, what was I thinking?"
+'''Pete Docter''' (full name Peter Hans Docter<ref>[https://macp.com.my/work-search/?wks-action=search&title_input=tripledent+gum+jingle MACP Search "TripleDent Gum Jingle"]</ref>) (born October 9, 1968) is one of the key people in the development of many [[Pixar Animation Studios|Pixar]] films and is one of the original members of the [[Brain Trust]]. He directed of ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'', ''[[Up]]'', ''[[Inside Out]]'', and ''[[Soul]]'', which the last three won him the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
-He started at Pixar at the age of 21, and began work the day after his college graduation, the tenth employee the company hired, and its third animator. He first met owner Steve Jobs when Jobs came to lay off some older workers. Docter instantly felt at home in the tight-knit atmosphere of the company. He has said, "Growing up... a lot of us felt we were the only person in the world who had this weird obsession with animation. Coming to Pixar you feel like, 'Oh! There are others!'"
-Docter had been brought in with limited responsibilities, but [[John Lasseter]] quickly assigned him larger and larger roles in writing, animation, sound recording, and orchestra scoring. He was one of the three key screenwriters behind the concept of ''[[Toy Story]]'', and partially based the character of [[Buzz Lightyear]] on himself. He had a mirror on his desk and made faces with it as he conceptualized the character.
-Docter has been an integral part of some of Pixar's most seminal works, including ''Toy Story'', ''[[Toy Story 2]]'', ''[[A Bug's Life]]'' and ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'', all of which received critical acclaim and honors. He contributed to these animated films as a co-author to the scripts, and worked with CGI stalwarts such as John Lasseter, [[Ronnie del Carmen]], [[Bob Peterson]], [[Andrew Stanton]], [[Brad Bird]], and the late [[Joe Ranft]]. Docter has referred to his colleagues at Pixar as a bunch of "wild stallions".
-In 2004, he was asked by John Lasseter to direct the English translation of ''Howl's Moving Castle''. Docter made his directorial debut with ''Monsters, Inc.'', which occurred right after the birth of his first child, Nick. Docter has said that the abrupt move from a complete, single-minded devotion to his career to parenting drove him "upside down" and formed the inspiration for the storyline. Docter then directed the [[2009]] film ''[[Up]]'', released on May 29, 2009. He based the [[Carl Fredricksen|protagonist]] of ''Up'' partially on himself, based on his frequent feelings of social awkwardness and his desire to get away from crowds to contemplate.
-Docter appeared at Comic-Con 2008 and the 2009 WonderCon.
-In May 2009, Docter remarked retrospectively to Christianity Today that he had lived "a blessed life" so far. The A. V. Club has called him "almost universally successful". He has been nominated for four Oscars (winning one for ''Up''), three Annie Awards (winning two), a British Academy Children's Award (which he won), and a Hochi Film Award (which he won). He also won a Bafta for best animation for ''Up''. Accepting his Academy Award for Best Animated Feature he said, "Never did I dream that making a flip book out of my third-grade math book would lead to this."
-===Personal Life===
-He is married to Amanda Docter and has two children, Nick and [[Elie Docter|Elie]] (Nicholas and Elizabeth), ages 14 and 11 as of 2009, respectively. Elie has a speaking part in ''Up'' as [[Ellie]].
-Docter is a fan of anime, particularly the work of Hayao Miyazaki. Docter has said that Miyazaki's animation has "beautifully observed little moments of truth that you just recognize and respond to".
-He is also a fan of the work done by his competitors at DreamWorks as well. He has said, "I think it’s a much healthier environment when there is more diversity".
-Docter is also a devout Christian. Though he incorporates his personal morality into his work, he has said that he does not intend to ever make a movie with an explicitly religious message
