Another site I found says: "Christopher Vogler worked on Disney movies and used Joseph Campbell's ideas to help create stories." (http://library.thinkquest.org/03oct/00800/journey.htm) Christopher Vogler even wrote a book called "THE WRITER'S JOURNEY: Mythic Structure for Writers" (http://www.thewritersjourney.com/) and acts as a story consultant to Hollywood studios. I could probably release many podcasts just going through and analyzing different movies. I'm glad you liked the show! Now if I could find time to do another one ;) Hi Brian,

It'll make watching all of the other cartoons more palatable. Is there a Disney/Pixar or Dreamworks movie that fit the pattern? Hey Bro,

I thoroughly enjoyed your essay. It’ll make watching all of the other cartoons more palatable.

Is there a Disney/Pixar or Dreamworks movie that fit the pattern?

This is why I did the shows. There is a lot of great information out there on the Monomyth. I strongly suggest going straight to the source and read Joseph Campbell's book “The Hero with a Thousand Faces.” (ISBN 0-691-01784-0). A link to it is on the other essay pages. Best of Luck with your paper, I'd like to read it when your done! - Gregory Lauren -
