It can be very hard to determine what makes a story “good.” What makes one story good and one story bad and one story just mediocre? Pixar thinks they may have it figured out.
What is it that makes Up, Finding Nemo, and WALL-E (among others) pretty amazing? Pixar has a few rules for phenomenal storytelling. I stumbled across this infographic over at pbjpublishing.com, and I just had to share.
My favorite might be #14. Which rule is your favorite? Do you have any rules that you might add?
