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.

Disney: Sing Don't Tell.
Pixar: Show Don't Tell.
Actually, both utilize Show Don't Tell. Both Fantasia films are the purest examples of that.
I thought Pixar worked for Disney lmao
@@lancetheking7524 yeah but they're different companies.
@@TomEyeTheSFMguy when the company under Disney is better than Disney itself
I have always loved Pixar's movies. And what you say is true... they got people's attention NOT JUST because of their breakthrough computer animation, but because of the STORY TELLING.
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.
Batman: WHADDIDYOUSHEYYY!!
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.

Everyone's saying to cover studio ghibli and I completely agree.
Pixar hit something magical.
Compelling characters played by great actors, with humor everyone can understand, and well-written well-paced plots.
Big fan of Pixar’s work.
Well, most of them. Even their worst movies have some of the same charm, though (except Cars 2).
@@hassassinator8858 yeah, the sequels of movies usually don’t hit the same…
It’s not 100% but I’d say a safe 70 to 80% of what they crank out is gold.
And then they lost it, and it's not just because of important directors leaving due to John Misconduct.
@@hassassinator8858 Actually, Cars 2 does have exceptional world-building. As a matter of fact, Onward could have learn a lot from that movie.
Hey Tyler! I'd love to hear your thoughts on Ghibli films and how they go about crafting a story as it's very different from traditional Western Storytelling.
Though sounds interesting. Miyazaki has a very unique approach
I would love to see that! So much to learn from Miyazaki!
I would absolutely love to see it!!
I'd like to see this too!
The man is eccentric, to say the least.
*Fun Fact:* Pixar once asked Big Ideas Productions for tips on lighting effects. Yeah! That Big Ideas Productions -- the studio behind _Veggie Tales._
Makes sense given how successful Veggie Tales is and the heads of Pixar are Christian men.
Wait. PIXAR PEOPLE ARE CHRISTIAN?
This is perfect for someone like me, who’s want to write for animation. Appreciate it
Once again thank you so much for the perspective about Pixar Movies, lately, I was thinking a lot about the importance of finding the similitudes in character between protagonist/antagonist. And Toy Story actually is an amazing example.
Please do why you should study Studio Ghibli. Please Tyler.
I can't believe u covered PIXAR?!?!!
THANKS A LOT!!!!
Try Ghibli too 👍
Alberto, you did it again, congrats on yet another amazingly written video.
These video essays are always fire! I learn so much every time, thank you!!
Amazing essay ! Thank you so much for sharing !
Thanks so much for this video! I work in animation as a Story artist at Netflix and this insight truly came at the right time on this project I'm stuck in :) much love
Please don't stop making these thoughtful videos .. 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
You've really helped me hone my writing skills, I'm very grateful for that. I'd love for you to do a video on Studio Ghibli films.
Amazing video👍👍👍
I really think that early Pixar was the predecessor of the Disney Renaissance in the story department
Or was it?
man, im learning so much from you! thank you so much!
could you do more videos deconstructing pixar movies? that would be aweasome
Great video. I write my first draft with not characters speaking. Forces me to show that’s happening. I then go back and add the lines later.
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.
IKR? People are just dumb to realize that Pixar is still alive. Also we are getting Inside Out 2 and Elio.
This was great, nice work Tyler :)
Tyler never disappoint me
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.
Brilliant!
Someday I'll make a movie for Pixar. It's my dream. Great video, dude!
U will make it if you give everything for it
Writer
Director
Actor
This in my opinion is the right sequence from the most important and effective role to a successful film or series
And it makes me frustrated when I see some people say that it's the actor or the director
John truby once said put the writer in charge and you will get the best results and I totally agree 🤠
I don’t mean this word lightly. But they’re perfect. In literally every way
Your content continues to be extraordinary.
Pixar is the best CGI animation studio ever.
Sounds are also such an important aspect for walley
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?
Next should be the Coen Brothers.
I think the pixar is a lot deeper than you are noticing
I love pixar
recap:
1. show not tell
2. conflicting characters
3, highly Interesting Philosophical conflict
I love your channel and your insights. But I have to ask. What is holding you back from becoming a mega A List writer Tyler?
Tyler, do you still do livestream where you read short scripts out loud?
Love you sir 💓💕💓💕💓💕
I was the 1000th like.
Late to the party.
Awesome
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.
✌✌
Multiple 'post-apocopic' movies show a cockroach as the last creature on Earth.
'Sad' is an antonym to 'Happy'.

Tyler you need to marry Abbie Emmons and create a super race of highly attractive hypertalented writers
What if it goes horrible wrong?
Any serious writers who brush off PIXAR as 'kids' stuff' is seriously handicapping themselves
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.

What do you mean by going into the abyss?
Taking a deep look back at your life, back when you were way younger, stuff like that.
I will make a parody for u called why u should feel grass
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!!!
