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.

Second, in the Forgotten Ship they were so desperate that “ One mother dropped her baby and two young children” (Shapiro).

Inside Out, a Disney/Pixar animated film, centers around the life of Riley, an 11-year-old girl who endures a move to San Francisco that greatly impacts her emotional balance. The film features five characters - Fear, Anger, Disgust, Joy, and Sadness - who personify the five major emotions in Riley’s brain and how these feelings impact Riley.

Pixar’s Inside Out is an interesting take on how our emotions work as well as how our brains operate. The story starts off with a narration by Joy, voiced by Amy Poehler, explaining how her job works, and how she and the other emotions came to be inside the mind of young Riley Anderson. The emotions watch and guide Riley by influencing how she reacts to different daily situations. The only thing the emotions are not prepared for however, is an unexpected move from Minnesota to San Francisco (Inside Out). This hilarious take at how our brains work allows Inside Out to create an entertaining and engaging movie using character interaction and its deeper emotional and psychological meanings.

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.

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.

In the beginning of the production, Riley Andersen moves from her childhood home in Minnesota to California, which sparks many smaller and unenjoyable events, leading the eleven year old to have disruptive beliefs, ultimately leading her to conduct unhealthy habits. In the forefront of the movie, the scene decorates Riley as a child untainted by the sorrows that life may hold.
