Ronnie del Carmen as co-director?

In its current state, this article claims that Pete Docter was the only director of Inside Out, with Ronnie del Carmen helping develop the story. I believe this is incorrect, and I think del Carmen should be identified as co-director as well.

Many, if not most, of the references in this article describe Ronnie del Carmen as co-director (or if you're the New York Times, 'secondary director'): for example, Lifestyle Inquirer, Rappler, and the Hollywood Reporter. IMDb (and thus Box Office Mojo) and Metacritic both list del Carmen as co-director. So do the British Film Institute and the American Film Institute.

I decided to look for information straight from the horse's mouth and found this page on Pixar's official website, which names del Carmen as a co-director; so does the caption of this photo on Pixar's Instagram account. I couldn't find anything on Disney's website and I couldn't bring myself to search through their entire Instagram account. I checked the credits of the film as well, which read "Director | Pete Docter" and then "Co-director | Ronnie del Carmen". (Additionally, on Ronnie del Carmen's Twitter (X?), which I'm 99.999% sure is legitimate, he describes himself as co-director.)

I wonder if del Carmen was initially left out because Rotten Tomatoes and ScreenRant – and probably some other miscellaneous articles – state that Docter alone was the director, but at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter why. For the reasons stated above, I think del Carmen should be explicitly named as co-director, if only for the sake of consistency within Wikipedia itself (as his page states he "co-directed and was one of the story writers for the 2015 Pixar film Inside Out").

Edit

I also just noticed that the list of accolades for the film says Docter was the only director. The list of Pixar films says Docter was director and del Carmen was co-director. I then had a look at the Wikipedia pages for other Pixar films which are stated to have had a co-director on this list of Pixar films – excluding Ratatouille, since that was a change of director. Three of them (Cars, Monsters, Inc., and Finding Dory) only mention the co-directors later in the article; the rest (A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo, Up, Cars 2, Brave, Coco, and Soul) name the co-directors immediately after the "main" directors. Of those in the latter category, Brave was the only one to list multiple directors in the sidebar/panel. Since most of them list co-directors early on, I'm inclined to do the same in this article; I'm still not sure about the sidebar, though.

Confusing wording

In the Animation section, there was a confusing bit of wording that said "turned real light from a geometry". I added a "clarification needed" tag there and User:Chompy Ace changed it to "created a "geometry light" appliance". This is a bit better but it is still confusing. I think we should discuss what this phrase is referring to and change it to something more readable. Signed, TypoEater (talk) 18:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed it to "developed geometrical optics". Chompy Ace 00:43, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that really helps clear it up. TypoEater (talk) 15:41, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
