The Pixar Braintrust

The Pixar Braintrust is a collaborative group of experienced filmmakers at Pixar who provide honest, constructive feedback on each other's projects. During meetings, creators share their work-in-progress, and the Braintrust offers insights, suggestions, and critiques to improve the story, characters, and overall quality. This process encourages open dialogue and iteration, helping filmmakers refine their ideas without fear of judgment. The Braintrust's goal is to ensure each film reaches its full creative potential by fostering a supportive environment where constructive criticism leads to better storytelling and emotional impact.
