Info

Inside Out is a 2015 American animated coming-of-age film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Produced by Jonas Rivera, it was directed by Pete Docter from a screenplay he co-wrote with Meg LeFauve and Josh Cooley. The film stars the voices of Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Richard Kind, Bill Hader, Louise Black, Mindy Kaling, Caitlin Dias, Diane Lane and Kyle McLachlan. Inside Out follows the inner workings of Riley’s mind, a young girl who adjusts to her family’s relocation as five personality emotions govern her thoughts and actions.

The doctor conceived Inside Out in October 2009 after observing her daughter’s personality changes as she got older. The project was subsequently greenlit, and Dr. and Ronnie Del Carmen, who consulted with psychologists and neuroscientists in an effort to accurately portray the mind, developed its story. Development took five and a half years on a budget of about $175 million. Significant changes in the film’s story and characters delayed the film’s production schedule.

Inside Out debuted at the 68th Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2015, and was released in the United States on June 19. It received praise for its craftsmanship, screenplay, content, plot and vocal performances – especially Poehler, Smith, Kind, and Black. The National Board of Review and the American Film Institute named Inside Out one of the ten best films of 2015. It grossed $858.8 million worldwide, ending its run as the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2015. The film was nominated for two. Award at the 88th Academy Awards, winning Best Animated Feature and numerous other accolades. Philosophical journal Film and Philosophy identified Inside Out as one of the best animated films ever made. A sequel, Inside Out 2, is scheduled for release on June 14, 2024.

Details

A young girl named Riley has basic emotions in her mind that govern her actions: joy, sadness, fear, disgust, and anger. Riley’s experiences become memories that are stored as colored orbs and sent to long-term memory each night. The five most important “core memories” aspects of his personality take the form of five floating islands. Joy acts as a leader; He tries to limit the effects of grief. Jai sees purpose in fear, disgust and anger but thinks sadness makes everything worse.

At age 11, Riley moved from Minnesota to San Francisco for her father’s new job. At first, he has bad experiences; The new house is cramped and old, her father has little time for Riley, a local pizza parlor only serves pizza topped with broccoli, which she dislikes, and the moving van with their belongings was misdirected to Texas and won’t arrive for several weeks. On Riley’s first day at her new school, Sadness retroactively saddens happy memories, causing Riley to cry in front of her class and create a sad core memory. Joy tries to dispose of this memory using a pneumatic tube but accidentally knocks out other key memories while struggling with grief, disabling the personality islands. Joy, sadness, and core memories are sucked from the headquarters.

In the absence of joy and sadness, anger, fear and disgust are forced to take control of Riley; They try to create happy original memories but the results are disastrous, alienating Riley from her parents, friends and hobbies. Without core memories, Ryle’s islands of personality slowly crumble and fall into the “memory dump”, where things cease to exist as they are forgotten. Rage, intent on restoring Riley’s happiness, resolves to flee to Minnesota.

While navigating the vast long-term memory area, Joy and Sadness meet Bing Bong, Riley’s imaginary friend, who suggests a ride on the “thought train” back to headquarters. After several adventures and mishaps, the trio catch the train but it stops when Riley falls asleep and is completely derailed when another island collapses. Joy, who fears that all the original memories will be sad, gives up grief and tries to run a “recall tube” back to headquarters. The ground below the tube collapses and Joy and Bing Bong sink into the memory dump.

After discovering a sad memory turned into joy when Riley’s parents and friends comforted her, Joy realizes Sadness’s purpose in alerting others when Riley is emotionally overwhelmed and needs help. Joy and Bing Bong try to use Bing Bong’s song-fueled wagon rocket to escape the memory dump. They fail to climb completely due to their combined weight until Bing Bong jumps up at the last moment and fades away.

Joy is reunited with Sadness and they return to headquarters, discovering that Rage’s idea has disabled the console, leaving Riley in despair as she boards a bus to Minnesota. To the surprise of the others, Joy hands over control of the console to Sadness, who manages to reactivate it and tells Riley to return to her parents. As grief reinstalls the original memories, transforming them from happy to sad, Riley tearfully tells her parents that she misses her old life. Riley’s parents comfort her and tell her they miss Minnesota. Joy and sadness work together on the console, creating a new core memory combining happiness and sadness and creating new island forms, representing Riley’s acceptance of her new life in San Francisco.

A year later, Riley, now 12, has adjusted to her new home, made new friends, and returned to her old hobbies and acquired new ones. Inside the headquarters, Riley’s passion compliments her new personality island and they are given a newly expanded console with enough space to work together.
