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.
