Screenwriting 101: John Lasseter

“There are three things you need to do to make a movie that is successful, a move that truly entertains your audience. First, you’ve got to tell a compelling story that keeps people on the edge of their seats, so they can’t wait to see what happens next. Second, you have to populate that story with really memorable, appealing characters, even the bad guys, because those characters will live beyond the boundary of the film if you do it right. And third, you need to put that story and those characters in a believable world.”
