In reality, it takes a great deal of effort to figure out how each component can be refined to maximize emotional impact.<br><br>For example, Pixar characters are clearly designed with broad audience appeal in mind. But it\u2019s not as obvious how tricky it can be to stylize a character while maintaining a sense of 3D world realism.<br><br>Erica Milsom and Tony Kaplan served as directors for these five episodes.
