The two things that you need to have in place upfront is a realistic business case and an effective delivery team. And this is what Pixar is so good at, they typically spend two years before they even start shooting a film. No other Hollywood studio have done 20 plus blogbusters in a row. That's one reason that Pixar is so successful. They really have that process down by doing it over and over and over again.
