LOL at the caption: "When I'm listening to music and my iPod keeps playing the 'low battery' notification..."

the disney animators must have had fun with hades... the fire is so cool!!

I'm sure they did -- and this was before computer animation really kicked in.

Too bad Hercules wasn't more popular. They could have done a whole Greek series.

yeah!  so much fodder there for great movies!

i think hercules is great.  but i'm biased.  i love them all!

Yeah, there really isn't a bad Disney movie.

Because they follow the golden rules of storytelling:

thank you for showing me that page!  great infographic and tedtalk!

And it pretty much applies to all stories.

yes!  i found it helpful for picture books even!

Cool. You might enjoy the Pixar rules, too:

stashed!  thank you, adam.  :)

Happily. It's a little disappointing that all great stories follow a predictable pattern. 

I was hoping for a little more variation.

well, this is how life goes, too: you care, you're crushed, you come back, you learn something.

Is everyone's life like that???

i thought so.  no?  well, maybe just the one who have stories worth telling.

Most people have a rite of passage that goes like that.

I guess that's why Disney likes rite of passage stories more than here's journey stories.
