With more than two decades in the industry, the public's focus on Pixar's technology took a backseat as audiences grew to view the company as a top-of-the-game storytelling powerhouse. Pixar's stories are creative and emotional tales capable of inspiring children and adults alike.
In this video, I want to analyze how Pixar handles visual exposition, conflicting characters, and finds unique philosophical conflicts in its movies. And most importantly, how you can do the same in your writing.
This is why you should study Pixar.

One of my favorite show don't tells us the food critic from ratatouille. He eats the ratatouille and we see him transported back to a child. All fear towards his is dropped because we now understand that he was once a frightened child just like the rest of us. No words. No explanation. Just raw understanding because we all have that food that makes us children again. His shift in attitude and philosophy doesn't feel contrived because we know he gets it, and we know he gets it because we just got it too. His review at the end could be just "gasteou was right and I am wrong" but instead it's a synthesis of the 2 philosophies that have been at war for the entire film. His dulcet voice calms us from the tension that the film took the time to ratchet up and gives a final statement: not everyone can be a great chef but a great chef can come from anywhere.

The philosophy that joy is more powerful than fear seems to be lifted from Pete Docter's first film "Monsters Inc." It definitely shows growth on Mr. Docter as a director.

You really are a class Tyler! Also one note: It makes sence the philosophical conflict doesn't make sence between Joy and Fear, because the opposite of fear is Courage. So the conflict in pairs should be Joy vs Sadness, Courage vs Fear.

Hey Tyler awesome video as always! You continue to help My challenge my characters and make my stories far better! I do have a question. About beliefs vs values. I'm not fully aware of the difference between values and beliefs (perhaps they are interchangeable) what would you say is the difference between the two, and how does one help build the other?

I know everyone is saying Pixar is dying, but I think I Pixar is the strongest Disney vertical at the moment. Onward, Soul and Luca were all fantastic, particularly Soul. Whilst 2022 was a bit of a dull point, particularly with the blunder that was Lightyear, 2023’s Elemental was a solid movie and proved Pixar is not dead.

Sadness is important because without it you don't have empathy. You can feel other people's sadness. And without empathy, you are a soulless, selfish sadness-inducing animal. I am glad that he picked Joy vs. Sadness.

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. X

Tyler has no references he is a newbie and tries you to sell his own course. It is a making money strategy and you will learn crap from him. It works like a placebo you think you making progress but really you only learn techniques which are not worth to learn and also brings you up from learning your own style of creating new ideas and stories. He only made 1 script, he has not won any Filmfestival/Oscar etc. It is the same for most of the courses. You do not need any paid courses to get good in writing. Do not listen to this bullshit!!!
