INSIDE OUT DIRECTED BY PETE DOCTER Inside out is a disney cartoon film directed by Pete Docter. It follows the story of a preteen girl named Riley and her emotions that are represented as characters in the film, with an angle of “meeting the little voices inside your head”. Representing the five major emotions are the characters Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear, who take us on a journey through the brightly coloured, amazing, exhilarating wonderland of Riley’s mind, conquering many troubles along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and found that although aimed at a younger audience I think it touches on very relevant topics that are essential for life, such as individuality and acceptance of others, that are both resourceful and important for everyone of all ages to know and learn about making it an appealing and enjoyable film for all. The concept of acceptance of others was definitely present throughout the entire film, however the full effect and realisation of this concept didn’t come into play till towards the end of movie when I felt personally, a realisation sensation stuck. In the beginning of the film we are introduced to the characters who represent Riley 's emotions. Although each are responsible for certain areas of Riley in particular, it is strongly apparent that the emotion “Joy” is the ringleader within the group, and takes pride in being so. Joy however is a character that contradicts another one of the emotions - Sadness, as you would expect.
