Did Pete Docter's Pixar Gems Help You Face Your Fears? They Did the Same for the Filmmaker
Briefly

"When I started on the film, my wife and I had our first kid, and bringing him home was horrifying for me, because obviously kids are appealing and cute and all that, but I was thinking, 'Oh my gosh, this thing is counting on me and my wife to take care of it.' It was an echo of what I was starting to play with."
"I would work until all hours of the night and loved what I do. And then suddenly you find yourself saying, 'Wait a minute, there's this kid at home who just spoke... how do I do both these things?' It was that struggle... that really kind of became the heart of what 'Monsters' was about."
"I think the thing that was attractive to everybody was this idea that much like we all secretly harbored a belief that our toys came to life when we weren't around, kids also have their own hidden fears that monsters existed."
