Experience of a lifetime. I spent time with Pixar’s Chief Creative Officer, Pete Docter, last night. Younger me, who wanted to always be a Disney animator, freaked out. We talked about Toy Story, Inside Out, and— of course— adapting Coco for Kingdom Hearts 4. When I asked him about the challenges involved in bringing Coco into a more interactive medium, where the player takes a more active role in exploring the story, he discussed that, while he doesn’t have direct involvement with its creation, the adaptation involves the same tension that Imagineers have: “Instead of plot, you think about path.” The storytelling goes into every aspect of the player’s exploration possibilities. I cannot WAIT to see what they have in store for us in KH4!
