Originally an influential memo Vogler wrote for Walt Disney Animation
executives regarding The Lion King, The Writer's Journey details a
twelve-stage, myth-inspired method that has galvanized Hollywood's
treatment of cinematic storytelling. A format that once seldom deviated
beyond a traditional three-act blueprint, Vogler's comprehensive theory
of story structure and character development has met with universal
acclaim, and is detailed herein using examples from myths, fairy tales,
and classic movies. This book has changed the face of screenwriting
worldwide over the last 25 years, and continues to do so.
