Timeless Storytelling Lessons from Pixar<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

One company that is very underrated is Pixar.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like me, then Pixar may have made up a lot of your childhood.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Toy Story, the Incredibles, and Toy Story 2.<\/p>\n

Hey, I\u2019m a big Toy Story fan.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nowadays, Pixar is evolving with the times and creating classics for the new generation.<\/p>\n

What makes Pixar so compelling?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is it their culture?<\/em><\/p>\n

Is it their technology?<\/em><\/p>\n

Or is it their storytelling philosophy?<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m here to tell you that it\u2019s all 3 of them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Storytelling like Pixar is possible in your own domain.<\/p>\n

Allow us to learn some of their timeless principles so we can create riveting content<\/a> that drives change.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keep the Important Thing the Important Thing<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the first 10 years of Pixar\u2019s existence, they were viewed as a technology company.<\/p>\n

They weren’t aware at the time…but they were pioneering for what was to come.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Setting the foundations allowed them to set the stage for what was important.<\/p>\n

‘What was important?’<\/p>\n

It was the stories.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Imagine this real quick.<\/p>\n

You spend 10 years<\/strong> setting up the technology to say something is more important than the technology??<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A lot of people in Pixar could have revolted against this idea.<\/p>\n

‘No, we are a technology company, not a storytelling company!’<\/p>\n

However, they didn’t do that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They understood their advanced computers, telecommunications<\/a>, and graphics processing systems were no more than glorified pencils for the story.<\/p>\n

Pixar\u2019s philosophy is that the story is the king<\/a> and everything else is a royal servant.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Touch the Heart to Make an Impact<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the kingpins in early Pixar was John Lasseter.<\/p>\n

He had a simple strategy to get freedom. He said:<\/p>\n

‘If you can make someone feel, then you will always have the creative authority to do what you want.’<\/em><\/p>\n

What a stunning insight!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s why Pixar has been relevant for so many years.<\/p>\n

It’s because they create stories that make others feel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Their stories touch the heart<\/a> because they are believable to a certain extent.<\/p>\n

‘Believable to a\u00a0certain extent, what does that mean?’<\/p>\n

I’m glad you asked\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Create Alternate Universes<\/h2>\n
