Walt Disney's Storytelling Tips

FILM TIPS
NW Media Studies, June 2009

Walt Disney on the 30-year process of creating the mega-hit cartoon "Cinderella"

Get rid of extraneous material, anything that slows down the story.
Play for entertainment.
Always look for a tear.
Get people involved with the character.
Get sympathy for the character.
Then have something bad about to happen to the character.
Now you've got your audience.

Be careful not to repeat anything.
Keep moving.
Always end up with a hope or a despair.
