Inside Out
Short description
Inside Out is an animated film about an eleven-year-old girl named Riley, whose mind is run by five emotions: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust. When her family leaves the Midwest for San Francisco because of her father's new job, the upheaval throws Riley's inner world into disorder. The emotions disagree about how to handle the move, and when Joy and Sadness are separated from the others, the pair must travel through the strange regions of Riley's mind to get back to where they belong.
The film was directed by Pete Docter, who wrote the screenplay with Josh Cooley and Meg LeFauve, and produced by Jonas Rivera. It followed Docter's earlier features Monsters, Inc. and Up, and came before Soul. Amy Poehler voices Joy, with Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Bill Hader as Fear, Lewis Black as Anger and Mindy Kaling as Disgust; Richard Kind voices Bing Bong. The production had a budget of 175 million dollars and took about 858 million dollars worldwide.
On IMDb it holds 8.1 out of 10 from roughly 908,000 votes, while on TMDB it has 7.9 out of 10 from about 24,000 votes. A critics' rating of 8.9 out of 10 from 381 reviews places it above both audience scores.
What's left behind the scenes
- The original title of the cartoon translates to 'Inside Out'.
- According to Pete Docter, each emotion was based on a specific visual image: Joy – on a star, Sadness – on a teardrop, Anger – on a fiery brick, Fear – on a stretched nerve, and Disgust – on broccoli (although Pete admits he personally loves broccoli).
- In Riley's first dream, the talking rat (here – mouse) Remy from "Ratatouille" (2007) appears. The cartoon also featured two objects from the film "WALL-E" (2008) – a fire extinguisher (which Joy used to put out Fear, who was singed by Anger) and a torn boot (it was in Bingo-Bongo's bag). One of Riley's memories is a photograph in front of a dinosaur statue in the desert on the way to San Francisco. This dinosaur is most likely one of the heroes of the next cartoon, "The Good Dinosaur" (2015).
- The cartoon explores one of the axioms of psychology: ignoring certain emotions, no matter how negative or useless they may seem, leads to stress and depression.
- When Joy and Bingo-Bongo sang a song to find the "ship to the moon," the ship gave them a call sign in the form of five tonal signals. This is a reference to the film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977), where aliens used five tonal signals to communicate with humans.
- The title of the cartoon translates to “Inside Out.”
- The idea for “Inside Out” came to director Pete Docter after his own daughter went through a difficult adolescence.
- When Riley’s family moves to a new house, sparrows from Pixar’s “For the Birds” (2000) can be seen on the power lines.
- The creators of the cartoon identified 5 core emotions to make the characters more distinct and vivid. For example, Joy "absorbed" emotions such as pride and trust.
- In Riley's first dream, Remy the talking rat from "Ratatouille" appears. The cartoon also featured two objects from "WALL-E" – a fire extinguisher (which Joy used to put out Fear's scorched Anger) and a torn boot (which was in Bingo-Bongo's bag). One of Riley's memories is a photo in front of a dinosaur statue in the desert on the way to San Francisco. This dinosaur is one of the characters from "The Good Dinosaur".
- The moment when Joy and Bingo-Bongo sang a song to find the "ship to the moon," the ship gave them a call sign in the form of five tonal signals, which is a reference to the film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".
