Who (person or studio) has received eleven Grammys, ten Golden Globes, and twenty-three Academy Awards over the years?

Clint Eastwood? No.

Will Smith? Definitely not.

Alan Menken? Getting warm!

Pixar. Well if you answer them, you are spot on!

Ok, ok, it’s not as many as Warner Bros but a lot of awards nonetheless.

For me, undoubtedly, Pixar is one the best storytellers of our time, period.

I remember the first time I saw Toy Story 1.

There are so many lessons in Pixar productions. Lessons are for writers, marketers, and more (like telling your mates a story at the pub).
