I finally saw Pixar’s Up yesterday. I’d heard great things about it and that everyone loved it. But like most animated movies, I took my sweet time coming around to see it. Frankly I have a habit of avoiding Pixar films, I like them but they’re not one of my passions. Animation just doesn’t excite me, which is tragic because Pixar puts some great story into them.
What I did find interesting was how many story related positions they covered in the movie’s credits. Which shouldn’t be that surprising, Pixar puts a lot of focus on story. It also farms out story duties, not relying on a sole screenwriter or screenwriters to come up with everything.
