> The main character has to "grow" throughout the film There are certain archetypal personal growth stories, like overcoming a loss, learning to be more selfless, learning to trust your friends, etc. The most popular is the bland "learning to persevere," like Luke from Star Wars (this isn't a great example, anyone have a better one?) Pixar's personal growth stories tend to be more imaginative: I feel like the protagonist is wiser at the end than he was at the start, but I'm not always sure how.
