Sully. Miguel. Mr. Incredible. Nemo. Pixar has an extensive roster of characters who instantly capture our imaginations. But getting an impactful story to fall into place comes with big challenges—ones Pixar writers have to creatively spar with every day. And sometimes, those challenges hit back. 20-year Pixar storytelling veteran Matthew Luhn takes us on his journey into the writers’ room. 

A few curiosities you’ll uncover in this episode:

  • Why did Toy Story (and Pixar) almost get shut down?
  • How did Matthew go from The Simpsons to Pixar?
  • How’d the writers figure out the ending to Finding Nemo?

Did You Know?

Since 1995, Pixar has made $14.7 billion at the global box office.
