[Sue Clayton, lecturer in screen writing and directing at London University] analyzed frame by frame what elements were present in different film genres and what made certain films successful... According to Clayton the blueprint for the perfect film is for it to have: 30 percent action, 17 percent comedy, 13 percent good versus evil, 12 percent sex/romance, 10 percent special effects, 10 percent plot and eight percent music.... As for the film that matched the recipe closest, that honor went to "Toy Story 2."
