SPEECH BY: Pete Docter and Jonas Rivera FILM: Inside Out 88TH OSCARS ONSTAGE SPEECH: ANIMATED FEATURE FILM Congratulations to Pete Docter and Jonas Rivera from Whom You Know!
PETE DOCTER:
We are so lucky. Not just us, but everyone in this room, because, regardless of a gold man or not, we get to make stuff.
JONAS RIVERA:
Right, we do. And on this film, every single storyboard, every single frame, cut, line of dialogue, every single pixel, was done by the amazing artists we work with at Pixar, led by John Lasseter. They should be up here with us tonight. We love them. Along with our amazing cast—best cast ever assembled, animated or otherwise—we love you.
PETE DOCTER:
We want to thank our wives: Amanda…
JONAS RIVERA:
…Michele.
PETE DOCTER:
Our kids. This film was really born from watching our kids grow up, which is not easy. Anyone out there who’s in junior high, high school, working it out, suffering. There are days you’re gonna feel sad, you’re gonna feel angry, you’re gonna be scared. That’s nothing you can choose, but you can make stuff. Make films. Draw. Write. It’ll make a world of difference.
