My Take

Bob Peterson is one of those Pixar names I knew long before I could place the face. The Ohio-born animator joined in 1994, worked on Toy Story, and then co-directed Up, which is where he won my heart twice over by also voicing Dug the dog and Alpha. There's something I admire about a guy who can write a tearjerker opening montage and then deliver the goofiest talking-dog gag in the same film. He's a true studio lifer, the sort of multi-hyphenate craftsman, animator, writer, director, voice actor, who keeps the whole machine running without ever chasing the spotlight.

Overview

Robert Peterson (born January 18, 1961) is an American cartoonist, animator, director, screenwriter, storyboard supervisor, and voice actor at Pixar. He was hired at Pixar by Roger Gould in 1994 as an animator for commercials, before subsequently becoming an animator on Toy Story (1995). He was the co-director, co-star, co-head, and co-writer for Up (2009).
