Our deep dive comes to an end

It's time to end our deep dive into Creativity, Inc. I've loved re-reading and discussing this landmark book. To be sure, there are lots more things that we could talk about. There's so many more gems in that book, but it's at the point where you'll just have to read it yourself to find them.

To close this study, I want to add that John Lasseter and Ed Catmull took what they had learned at Pixar to Disney Animation when they started leading that and found what they had learned to be true and applicable there as well. That lends more strength to their teachings.

And since they've been at Disney Animation, the studio has come out with Wreck-It-Ralph, Frozen, and Big Hero 6. Just mentioning Frozen alone tells you that they've turned the studio around, but all three of those are powerful, emotional movies that really hit it big.

Imagine what would happen if you took what you've learned from Ed Catmull's book and applied it to your own work. You're going to knock it out of the park!
