"We all love stories. We're born for them," says filmmaker Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, Toy Story, WALL-E) in this video that celebrates everyone who's ever had an idea, picked up a camera, or searched for a way to bring their story to life.

This commercial aired during the 86th Academy Awards. The footage is largely sourced and used with permission from people’s YouTube videos. The voice over is from a 2012 TED Talk by Andrew Stanton, which you can watch in full here. The music is “Fronds Like These” from Finding Nemo.
