Ronnie \u201cPixnoy\u201d del Carmen, the Filipino co-director of Pixar\u2019s box-office hit, \u201cInside Out,\u2019 received good news for their animated movie at the 73rd Golden Globe nominations announcement.<\/p>\n

Co-directed by Pete Docter, Del Carmen\u2019s Inside Out was nominated alongside \u201cAnomalisa,\u201d \u201cThe Good Dinosaur,\u201d \u201cThe Peanuts Movie,\u201d and \u201cShaun the Sheep Movie\u201d for the best animated film category of the highly-anticipated Golden Globe Awards in 2016.<\/p>\n

A few hours after the announcement, both directors couldn\u2019t help but share their \u2018Joy.\u2019 Here are their statements published in an Inquirer.net report:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been incredibly humbling to see the reception to Inside Out by audiences around the world. We set out to make a film that would help us better understand our children, but never imagined it would have the impact that it has. We could not be more thrilled or filled with \u2018Joy\u2019 to receive this nomination,\u201d Docter said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPete Docter asked me to be his co-director more than five years ago. Back then, I thought I won the lottery already. And today, we\u2019re nominated for a Golden Globe!,\u201d Del Carmen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaking this movie is one for the ages. As human beings, we find it hard to talk about our emotions because it\u2019s scary! Pete\u2019s concept makes those conversations easier from now on, because we have these friendly characters to help us through them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am calling my mother! I grew up halfway across the globe in the Philippines watching movies and movie awards shows. Now, I\u2019m part of a movie that is nominated for a Golden Globe! Crazy! I am so lucky to be working at Pixar and ever grateful to John Lasseter (Pixar\u2019s chief creative officer) for making sure that our studio supports ideas like Inside Out. Mabuhay!\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the 55-year-old director was recognized by his alma mater, the University of Santo Tomas (UST), for being an outstanding alumnus.<\/p>\n

Dream Come True<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being a former advertising art director back in his motherland, Del Carmen disclosed that helping create Inside Out was a dream come true as he has always adored movies but never thought that he would one day make one.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of a surreal experience because I just watched movies here (Philippines) growing up,\u201d he said in an earlier interview with The Associated Press, back when he was promoting the film in Asia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an amazing experience because I\u2019m not just coming home, there\u2019s a movie I helped make that\u2019s opening here\u2026 It\u2019s a dream come true,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In his early years in the United States, the Filipino director worked as a story board artist for Pixar and as the story supervisor for DreamWorks. Now, he has set his foot to directing as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
