Collective Creativity In Pixar

1.Based on the reading about Pixar, briefly discuss the difference between individual and collective creativity.
Upon reading the article about Pixar, I found several things that caught my attention and that I was not aware about. When I see animated movies, I never thought about how many people’s ideas were put together to create the movies. I recently watched the movie “Coco”, which I enjoyed much. However, I did not think thoroughly all the ideas involved and the creativity needed to complete the movie. In the article, collective creativity is defined as “involves a large number of people from different disciplines working effectively together to solve a great many problems”.

A common pitfall associated with working as a group is disagreement about the way something is being done, a particular issue, or an opinion. Sometimes one member might have his own beliefs and want to perform a task in their way and conflict can arise from this. Once conflict arises, the members can discuss their own opinions and might arrive to a solution, but this can cause a member to not show their full potential because something was not done the way they wanted. I believe this is very common but if you are open minded, it can be overcome for the sake of the team to be
