here<\/a>.\n<\/p>\nSohn has lent his talents to a number of Pixar features over
\nthe years, such as The Incredibles<\/em>, Finding Nemo<\/em>, and Wall-E<\/em>. His first
\ndirecting gig for Pixar was the 2009 short, “Partly Cloudy”. He was also the
\ninspiration for Russell in Up <\/em>and provided
\nthe voice of Emile in Ratatouille<\/em> and
\nSquishy in last summer’s Monsters
\nUniversity<\/em>. <\/p>\nSince The Good
\nDinosaur<\/em> has suffered production setbacks, the most prominent being Bob
\nPeterson’s removal, this change in directors is welcome one. Although Peterson is a Pixar veteran with plenty of credits to
\nhis name, beloved by fans, we can rest assured that The Good Dinosaur <\/em>is in more than capable
\nhands under Sohn’s direction.<\/p>\nWe can’t wait to see what he comes up with on November 25, 2015!<\/p>\n
