Those of you who were paying attention already know that we have a great new book in the works. Well, we have a launch date! Pixar Storytelling will come out next Tuesday on October 6.

What is this book about?

The Pixar Storytelling book is about effective storytelling rules based on Pixar’s greatest films. The book consists of ten chapters, each of which explores an aspect of storytelling that Pixar excels at. learn what Pixar’s core story ideas all have in common, how they create compelling, moving conflict and what makes their films’ resolutions so emotionally satisfying. The book also examines Pixar’s character development, unique, intricate story structure and use of theme, all of which are key to the studio’s storytelling achievements.

This book is great for writers interested in writing for animation or mainstream feature films, animators or aspiring directors who want to know how some of the best animated films work, and even Pixar fans or film buffs who are interested in learning more about the awesome world of storytelling.

First collaboration on a product

This is the first time I release a product created by someone else, as part of the greater shift of turning Bloop Animation into more than a blog, but rather an animation platform. The book, despite being written by another author, was conceived and developed closely with me, and went through a lot of back and forth. I can confidently say that I am very proud of the finished product, and I think you’re gonna love it.

How much will it cost?

Upon launch, the book will be available on Amazon (for a limited period of time) as well as on this site. During the launch period, which will last for 48 hours, the book will be available for $4.99. After that the price will go up to $9.99. As I wrote in a previous post, after the price goes up it will never drop again, so if you’re interested in getting this book – don’t miss the launch price.
