Pete Docter, Pixar's Chief Creative Officer and director of Soul, knows viewers have questions about its movies -- like, in Toy Story, why does Buzz Lightyear act like a toy if he doesn't believe he is one? Or Monsters, Inc. -- what did Boo's parents do while she was gone?

Docter says the Pixar filmmakers do consider those questions very carefully ... and then, sometimes, decide not to answer them.

Take its flagship franchise, the Toy Story series. Docter told HuffPost, "We went through a lot of discussion on Toy Story, the first one, about like, 'If Buzz doesn't know he's a toy, why does he go rigid when a kid walks in the room?' We had a lot of explanations and talk about that, too. And in the end, nobody cared."

Doctor also directed Monsters, Inc., which had viewers scratching their heads over the little girl, Boo. Her parents must have been frantic over her being missing, yes?

Docter said, "This is one of these questions that we asked ourselves. And we went through a lot of different machinations of writing scenes. We didn't actually board any, but we felt like, OK, the audience doesn’t need to know this because Sulley doesn't know. And we're with Sulley. So who cares?"

He continued, "Whatever her parents think, we're just going to ignore that. And it turned out pretty OK."
