While the recent Disney movies have been good with animation, visuals and characters the problem is there's been many small story flaws that even we Disney fans have noticed. From Wreck it Ralph 2 to Toy Story 4. Amazing topic to bring up.

Tyler, your are the next John Truby my friend. Ive found myself learning so much from your videos, to be honest even more then any John Truby or Robert McKee videos. Please keep up the good work and I look forward to watching your movies in the future. Ps. Toy Story is like the ultimate writers guide to learning screenwriting and I love you chose it for your video

Sounds like most Disney in general at the moment

Thank you so much not only for this intelligent video, but also for pointing out how extremely well-written the first "Toy Story" film is. It's my favorite animated movie of all time (2nd favorite movie overall), and I get so tired of the only compliments of it being "nostalgia" and "childhood memories" and "the one that started it all" while simultaneously mocking the early animation style and praising how much better the sequels are. As if to say that if this movie hadn't kicked off the rest of the franchise, then it wouldn't even be worth remembering / discussing / or rewatching. That is such bullshit. It's a brilliant comedy and a great story, with plenty of touching moments, and with what I've always called one of the tightest scripts ever written. It's rare I see anyone else agree on how perfect the script is, and it's much appreciated.

Is it me or you know about The Story Grid? If not, you should check it, you'll love it. Everything you say clicks. Keep it up

Even Pixar won't break down their stories this thoroughly. Thanks.

Love your videos, man. I’m more into writing novels, but your videos are better than the ones that focus on writing novels. Keep up the great work!

Decided to start writing my first story and this series is particularly helpful!

Very well done video. Conscise and easy to follow. I appreciate You Tubers who don't include a lot of distracting mannerisms in their speaking. The text inserts make it easy to pause the video and take notes. Thanks!

Wow. When you named the normal problems of writing a second act I inmediately made the skeleton of a plan to fix them and it was just what you said. I mean, not exactly, but something is something. I've learned things today.

For me problems are in the third act or final ending. For example, boy meets girl and... how to end this with mindblowing five oscar value worth ending? With the same effect like those falling skyscrappers in the The Fight Club (don't talk about it - thats against the rules).
