Peter Sohn (born October 18, 1977) is an American filmmaker, animator, storyboard artist, and voice actor. He is best known for his work at Pixar, including directing the short film Partly Cloudy (2009) and the feature films The Good Dinosaur (2015) and Elemental (2023), the latter of which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. He also voiced Emile in Ratatouille (2007), Squishy in Monsters University (2013), Ciccio in Luca (2021), and Sox in Lightyear (2022).

Early life

Sohn was born in The Bronx, New York City, the son of Korean immigrants Yung Tahk Sohn and Hea Ja Sohn. He has a younger brother. He was raised in New York.[2]

While studying at CalArts, he got a summer job working on Brad Bird's animated feature film, The Iron Giant (1999).

Career

After graduating from school, he worked at The Walt Disney Company and Warner Bros. before coming to Pixar in the art and story departments for Finding Nemo (2003).[3] He also worked on The Incredibles (2004), Ratatouille (2007) and WALL-E (2008). Sohn performed the voice of Emile in Ratatouille. He made his directorial debut with the short film Partly Cloudy in 2009 which he also wrote. Partly Cloudy was included in the Animation Show of Shows in 2009. Sohn co-directed the English-language version of Ponyo in 2009 with fellow Pixar employees John Lasseter and Brad Lewis.[4] Russell, from Up (2009), was based on Sohn's appearance.[5] He voiced Russell in the corresponding short, George & A.J. (2009), and Squishy in the feature Monsters University (2013).

Sohn directed the feature film The Good Dinosaur, which was released in November 2015. He voiced its Styracosaurus character Forrest Woodbush.[6] The film was Pixar's first box office failure.[7]

Sohn was set to voice the Marvel Comics character Ganke Lee in the 2018 Sony Pictures Animation feature film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but his lines were ultimately deleted from the final film.[8] However, he voiced Ganke in the 2023 sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Additionally, Sohn provided the voices of Ciccio and Sox in the Pixar films Luca (2021) and Lightyear (2022), respectively.[9][10]

The second feature film that Sohn directed at Pixar, Elemental, is based on his experience growing up in New York. The film debuted out of competition at the 76th Cannes Film Festival.[11][12] It was released on June 16, 2023.[13][14] Though it underperformed on its opening weekend,[15][16] the film's performance improved in the following weeks and received positive word-of-mouth that led it to become a sleeper hit.[17][18][19][20] The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

Personal life

Sohn is married to artist Anna Chambers, whom he met at CalArts.[21] During the production of The Good Dinosaur, they had two children.[22]
