Teasing Pixar’s Next Film: “Inside Out”

A fascinating and intriguing project, both for the creative forces involved — I love Docter’s work — and because the topic is such an unusual one to see in this medium. (By unusual for this medium, I mean “it’s hard to imagine this as a movie. But if you’re going to make a movie about this kind of abstractish thing, animation seems like the way to go, for sure.” And that’s one of the things I love so much about animation; it can go places and show us things more …realistic/Earth-bound films can’t.)

Definitely interested to see where Docter takes this one. (HT: /Film).

From an adventurous balloon ride above the clouds to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award®-winning director Pete Docter (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Up”) has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In Disney•Pixar’s original movie “ Inside Out,” he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all—inside the mind.

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it’s no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.
