It was interesting to learn about Pixar's methods of storytelling. This studio is truly talented in this aspect of filmmaking. And every rule of storytelling has been clarified with several examples of Pixar films.
However, the information was fairly general, so I havn't learned much new that I can apply to my work. That's why I only give it 3 stars.
