—Up Director Pete Docter to /Film in regards to Tom McCarthy’s involvement in the Pixar filmBob [Peterson] and I developed the idea [for Up], played with it for quite a while and then [Bob] was on Rat (the working title for Ratatouille). And then for some time I really needed someone to spark off of and I met Tom [McCarthy] before and really liked his films, The Station Agent especially — which was actually one of the models for the story, a family coming together… So he came in and wrote two drafts. He was here for three months and then Bob came back.
