Peter Hans "Pete" Docter (born October 9, 1968) is an American film director, animator, screenwriter, producer and voice actor from Bloomington, Minnesota.〔 He is best known for directing the animated feature films ''Monsters, Inc.'' (2001), ''Up'' (2009) and ''Inside Out'' (2015) and as a key figure and collaborator in Pixar Animation Studios. ''The A. V. Club'' has called him "almost universally successful".〔 He has been nominated for six Oscars (one win thus far for ''Up'' – Best Animated Feature), three Annie Awards (winning two), a BAFTA Children's Film Award (which he won), and a Hochi Film Award (which he won).〔(Awards for Peter Docter ). Imdb.com Accessed June 8, 2009.〕 He has described himself as a "geeky kid from Minnesota who likes to draw cartoons."〔 His latest feature, ''Inside Out'', has been released to universal acclaim from critics. ==Early life== Docter was born in Bloomington, Minnesota, the son of Rita Margaret (Kanne) and David Reinhardt Docter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Person Details for Peter Hans Docter, "Minnesota Birth Index, 1935-2002" — FamilySearch.org )〕 His mother's family is Danish.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interviewly -Pete Docter December 2012 - reddit AMA )〕 He grew 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".〔 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 the double bass on Michael Giacchino's score on the ''Up'' Blu-ray extra features. He taught himself cartooning, making flip books and homemade animated shorts with a family movie camera.〔(The Wizard of ''Up'' ). By Colin Covert. ''Star Tribune''. Published May 27, 2009.〕 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.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pete Docter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
