Lee Unkrich is an Academy Award-winning filmmaker who most recently directed Disney • Pixar’s critically-acclaimed “Coco”, which received two Oscars for Best Animated Feature and Best Song. As the director of “Toy Story 3,” Lee was awarded an Oscar for Best Animated Feature, and the film was also nominated for Best Picture—one of only three animated features ever to have that distinction. Lee joined Pixar in 1994, and played a variety of key creative roles on nearly every animated feature film made at the studio. Before co-directing the Oscar-winning “Finding Nemo,” he was co-director of “Monsters, Inc.” and the Golden Globe-winning “Toy Story 2.” He began his Pixar career as a film editor on “Toy Story” and was supervising film editor on “A Bug's Life.” Lee also contributed his editing skills to numerous Pixar films, including his role as supervising film editor on “Finding Nemo”. In 2009 Lee and his fellow directors at Pixar were honored at the 66th Venice International Film Festival with the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.
