The Pixar writer and story lead, Bobby Rubio is a Filipino American. He wanted to base the story on his personal life.
“It’s based on my own personal story of my son“, he said in an interview with Action News. “In the story, the father is dealing with a son that floats, which makes him different from other children“, he added.
Rubio said that the film is a celebration of children with unique gifts. Adding to this, he wanted to make a feature-based approach to make the characters look Filipino American.
“I know we don’t all look alike, but at the same time, I wanted traits that I had so that it at least felt authentic,” said Rubio. The characters were also animated versions of himself and his son.
The Pixar writer was proud of this historical event. At the special screening of the film, he got to see the reactions of the crowd.
