Pete Docter. Really?? If his full name is Peter Docter, and he became a urologist...

Some times directors use fake names when they know the movie is no good.

I remember a "soft porn" movie with one of the credits going to John Splice lol.

But Inside Out is great!

He has been a key figure in several successful Pixar movies and has been nominated for several awards including 6 Oscars.

It is much more likely that it is his real name.

This is a nice summary though IMDB is searchable if Wikipedia does not suit you.

I was trying to remember that name. I think that one was used quite a bit.

Fair question, who remembers "Alan Smithee"

For any movie that the director of the film does not want to have his/her name associated.

ie, Dune-Extended Edition, Supernova, TV version of Meet Joe Black, etc

 

[zoemurr]

My eye doctor growing up was "Dr. Doctor" and his wife was also "Dr. Doctor". There is a doctor where I live that helps men.. "Dr. Stop". Hee-hee

 

[Mrs. Ciz]

I know a gynecologist named Dr. Cherry.

My first gynecologist in Northern Virginia was named Dr. Harry Beaver....no lie!

 

[minnie mum]

Um, his name is Dockter, not Doctor.

 

[Missy1961]

Um, his name is Dockter, not Doctor.

According to IMDB, his name is spelled Docter

 

[minnie mum]

Yes, you're right. Still not spelled Doctor.

 

[bcla]

Yes, Pete Docter is his real name. I remember my pediatrician growing up - Dr. Coffin. And just yesterday we flew into Seattle and the pilot was Capt. Salmon.

 

[teller80]

Yes, you're right. Still not spelled Doctor.

I spelled it Docter, but I assume the pronunciation is the same?

 

[TianaPrincess]

Yep, it is his real name. His full name is Peter Hans Docter and his movie Inside Out is fantastic.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

But Inside Out is great!

We were immensely disappointed.

I don't get it - is Docter a strange name? Or does his first name and last name make a pun or something? It just seems like a normal name to me.
