Check out Pixar's 22 rules of storytelling

Finding Nemo. Toy Story (and Toy Story 2 and 3). Wall-E. We're all familiar (and appropriately obsessed) with the stories Pixar has rolled out for us over the years. And whether it's a tale of a lost clown fish, the saga of toys that come to life when their owner leaves the room, or a robot all alone in outer space, the stories are incredibly interesting.

Perhaps more than any other films, Pixar's movies are relatable and engaging to children and adults. The themes are universal, the characters immortal. Hell, they told one of the greatest love stories ever in less than nine minutes with basically no dialogue.
