More Pixar Wisdom!!

Mary and Melissa continue their segment featuring Pixar's 22 Rules of Storytelling. Each week, we do a deep dive of one of the tips, tricks, and tools shared and discuss how we use them in our writing practice.

This week, #20: "Exercise: take the building blocks of a movie you dislike. How do you rearrange them into what you DO like?"

Pixar's 22 Rules of Storytelling

Some of our problematic movies that deserve a closer assessment. We ask, why didn't we like this? What stuck with us and what didn't?

• Twilight (Books & Films)
• Star Wars - Prequel Trilogy (Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith)
• Season 7 Buffy!
• The Lion King (This is ALL Mary!!!)
• Authors we love...(that do things we don't)
  • Charlaine Harris - Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood Books
  • Jeff Wheeler - Harbinger Series
  • J.K. Rowling - Order of the Phoenix (NOT Half-Blood Prince!!!)
