The Pixar Story Spine

Sometimes the best way to figure out what should happen next is to return to the basics. If I boil my story down to its core, what is it about? The Pixar Story Spine is one way to look at your story and see the basic structure. Many people love how innovative and creative Pixar stories are—it might even be hard to believe that they each have a similar story spine at their hearts. Your story can have that kind of surprise and panache, too, even if you start with the basics.
