Inside Out By Peter Doctor And Ronnie Del Carmen

“Cradle to grave” and “Brand loyalty” these slogans are the goal of many companies which target our kids to get us to spend our money on unnecessary things. The article “Kid Kustomers” by Eric Schlosser, an American award-winning author and journalist. He studied in both Princeton and Oxford. One of his most well-known writings is “fast food nation” and the other is “Kid Kustomers”. “Kid Kustomers” published in is one of Schlosser’s best articles, he discussed the fact that there is a market targeted exactly and specifically to our children, and this is not a new phenomenon, this way of marketing has been invented and followed for at least 25 years. Schlosser’s Kid Kustomers is a very good essay published in 1959, it has many ups and

While Joy and Sadness attempt to make it back to headquarters, they are near a large pit in Riley's brain. Here memories go and disappear. This represents Riley forgetting events in her life that are not very important to her

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.

The film Inside Out tells the story of a young girl named Riley and her changing emotions after she is forced to move from her home town in Minnesota to San Fransico for her father’s job. The story is told from the perspective of her five emotions. Riley’s emotions are led by Joy, who attempts to guide her through the stressful event. Although Joy puts forth great effort, Sadness takes over. When trying to protect Riley’s core memories from Sadness, Joy is swept from headquarters through the dump tube and Sadness follows. With Joy and Sadness gone, Anger, Fear, and Disgust are the only emotions left in headquarters; therefore, Riley cannot be happy or sad. Because Joy and Sadness are absent, Riley’s personality islands diminish one by one. Riley fights with her family, pushes away from her friends back home, and loses interest in hockey. As Joy and Sadness navigate through Riley’s brain in search of a way back to headquarters, they encounter many obsticles. Back in headquarters, Anger, Fear, and Disgust place the idea of running away into Riley’s head. Joy witnesses the transformation of a sad memory into a happy memory, and finally realizes the importance of all emotions, including Sadness. With the help of Bing Bong, Riley’s imaginary friend, Joy and Sadness find their way back to headquarters and are able to stop Riley from running away. An update in headquarters takes place, and more personality islands develop. Joy learns to accept the

through the use of Logos. At the end of the film, Joy looks back on one of Riley’s “core memories” of an important hockey game in which Riley misses a goal, and then immediately realizes that the sadness Riley felt was not just sadness but through that sadness Riley also felt compassion from her loved ones. This moment in which Sadness took charge of, is important for making Riley feel a sense of closeness and security from her parents and friends. What Joy thought of as a potential sad and awful memory, turned into one filled with deep meaning and great

The dominant emotion of Riley is happiness because Joy is the leader of the emotion crew in the control centre. Riley’s personality is shaped by her happiness. This fits

One of the first conflict styles Joy uses in the beginning of the movie is competing. This occurs when one person completes their goals and the other does not. Adler and Proctor stated (2011), "This win-lose approach to conflict involves high concern for self and low concern for others... competition seeks to resolve conflicts "my way" (page 386). In the movie when Joy comes in contact with a conflict she tends to react the way she sees fit. When sadness tries to touch one of Riley's core memories Joy immediately pushes her away and makes her turn her attention to something else so that she won't be in the way. By being pushed away this causes Sadness to be the losing party because she is not able to achieve her goal of having more input in Riley's

The book I read for this book report was called “After Eli” by: Rebecca Rupp. In the story the main character’s name is Daniel (Danny) Anderson. Since his brother Eli died in the war in Iraq, his parents acted different. His dad became detached and displeased by everything and his mom became silent and withdrawn. The reason Eli joined the army was because of the 9/11 bombing on the World Trade Center. Eli was very emotional about the bombings and decided to join the army. After Eli had died his mom quit her job at the local kindergarten and was very depressed and his dad stopped talking to people. This type of conflict is Man vs. Self because Danny’s parents are dealing with problems that they need to overcome. Another type of conflict is Man

Just reading an excerpt from “Crank” by Ellen Hopkins made me immediately want to read it, especially after finding out that the book was loosely based on her daughter’s life. The way this book was written was very effective because after seeing that it was written in a poetic free verse, I instantly knew it was going to be a very interesting read. My first thoughts on the main character was how innocent she was before she started taking drugs and how they had such a large impact on her life/personality.

It is a rarity that I will change my mind regarding a movie, but this is one of those times. Disney/Pixar’s “Inside Out” was not only entertaining, but challenged the way that I look at emotions. It’s the kind of film that will stay with you even after you’ve left the theatre, and in doing so will spark you to recall memories from your own childhood. It avoids clichés that most animated films fall into, which makes it feel completely new and refreshing. The material is also accessible to everyone given its main content. Young Riley, our 11 year old heroine, is uprooted from her happy life in the Midwest to the bustling city of San Francisco. Her father has taken a new job, and must relocate the family. Riley, like most everyone, is guided specifically by her emotions which take place in the “control center” of her mind. Riley and her emotions, Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust, and Sadness struggle to navigate through a new home, new school, and new friends. The conflict comes when Sadness wants to play a bigger role in Riley’s life, but is constantly pushed to the side by Joy. Joy, voiced perfectly by the very talented Amy Poehler, is a yellow, almost fairy-like character reminiscent of a more mature Tinkerbell. Sadness (Phyllis Smith) is recessive, soft-spoken, and, as one would imagine, blue. Fear is voiced by the extremely versatile actor, Bill Hader. He is a lanky, purple, almost bug-eyed character whose body could almost be described as a question mark. Fear, of course, tends

4.2 The forces and Riley’s actions that lead to coming of age theme in the film

As the film begins, it is clear from the start that the emotions care a great deal for Riley. As the primary emotion, Joy takes it upon herself to be the leader of the group and does everything in her power to make sure every moment of Riley’s day is a happy one. Sadness, voiced by Phyllis Smith, is not sure of her purpose in Riley’s mind, so her fellow emotions attempt to keep her involvement to a minimum, in fear of putting a damper on Riley’s mood. The rest of the emotions, Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), and Fear (Bill Hader), keep Riley’s life fair, poison free, physically and socially, and safe, respectively (Inside Out). A stand out character who appears is Bing Bong, voiced by Richard Kind, Riley’s imaginary friend from when she was a

Had I watched this Inside Out at different points over the semester, I would have been able to find different flaws each time. This movie is supposed to be about Riley, but it turns out to be centered around the journey that Joy and Sadness must take in order to return to headquarters, more specifically, it validates sadness as an emotion. Sadness spent her first eleven years with Riley being told to stay back and not to screw anything up, in reality, sadness is often frowned upon, because for some people, they are the opposite of Riley’s character. This movie shows that the happiest of children can go through life changing struggles and embrace their other emotions. You cannot appreciate being happy unless you have known being sad, this movie brings attention to the necessity of a balance in life.

Cognitive development focuses on the development of a child in terms of their ability to think and reason, or the construction of their thought processes. Memory is a main concept that plays a crucial role in cognitive development. Memories form the basis of an individual, help to guide one’s thoughts and decisions and influence an individual’s emotional reactions (Bauer & Pathman, 2008). The core memories in the movie are a prominent theme in which are central to Riley’s development. Riley’s personality is made up of all the core memories that she had experienced over her childhood. When Riley’s world began to crumble around her because of her family moving, her

The film Inside Out (2015) produced and directed by Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures, is a movie based on the emotions of a 11-year-old girl called Riley. The film’s principal characters are five emotions located in Riley’s brain. These emotions are Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger. All of them work together inside Riley’s mind to accomplish one goal: Her Happiness. Everything revolves around Riley because she is facing a hard move with her family from Minnesota to San Francisco, leading to big changes around his life, attitude, and behavior. Most of the movie is set inside Riley’s mind, where the emotions operate her brain’s control center. The film explains that our brain has functions that control our responses to certain situations, and the ways that we handle these situations are controlled by our emotions. Also, it explains that our personalities and identities are defined by certain emotions, which shape how we handle and express to specific situations. The decisions and actions that the emotions choose to do in Riley’s life will drive the plot. Inside Out (2015) will not only explain through its colors, lighting, and camera shots the storyline of the movie, but also the importance of emotions and how they play a big role in our lives.
