The Pixar Movie 'Inside Out'

When Riley is faced with the major problem of her core memories, starting to shut down she starts to truly lose herself. Riley’s core memories fuel five islands that make up her personality, Hockey island, Honesty island, Friendship island, Family island, and Goofball island. Her core memories are based on times in her life that were significant to her, without them she does not really know who she is. Depression is the most common Mental illness, twentysix percent of adult people in the United States are diagnosed with it ("Mental Health Basics"). This movie does a really nice job of showing how irritable and dark a person can be when they are depressed. In the movie there is a part where Riley freaks out at her dad, getting mad, when all he did was ask how her day was at school. Throughout the movie she turns from a happy-loving girl to a sad quiet one. Depression is not when people find sadness when they are sad but find sadness when they are happy, I think this is perfectly portrayed in the movie. For example, Riley remembers a time on their trip where her father forgot to put the car in park and it rolled down the hill, at first she thought it was such a funny memory, but as she thought of it more she became sad because of how mad her father was about the

The theme of "Inside out and back again" is to never give up and always be confident, brave, and stay positive when times are rough. In the story a girl named Ha is moving from across the world to Alabama to be safe from the dangers in Vietnam. Ha's father is not with her because he's fighting in Vietnam. Ha would rather choose wartime in Saigon over peacetime in Alabama.

The film is about the 11-year-old central character, Riley, originally from Minnesota, moves to San Francisco with her parents. The story explores the mind of Riley who struggles to move away from her hometown, away from her childhood friends, hockey team and has a hard time pretending to be happy for her parents. The primary emotions of Riley are Joy/happiness, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear. Riley has 5 out of the 6 human universal emotions. All of these emotions are personalised into characters in Riley's "control centre".

Each named emotion expresses Riley’s feelings after seeing the world through her eyes on a big projection screen. When something whens that would give Riley joy, the character, Joy, has the job to make Riley feel that way. The Two Factor theory explains we feel an emotion by first coming in contact with the stimulus, become physically aroused by it and cognitively label the feeling we have is an emotion, and then experience the emotion. This lines up very closely with the process of the characters choosing how to make Riley feel. They witness the stimulus RIley is in contact with, the named emotion whose job is producing that emotion comes forward to make themself known, and finally she feels that

At age eleven, Riley’s life is uprooted by a family move from their Minnesotan hometown to a drab apartment building in San Francisco – prompting her emotions to work overtime to alleviate the situation. While governing – then quarreling over – a disastrous episode on the first day of school, Joy and Sadness are accidentally transported to the outer regions of Riley’s long-term memory, forcing the duo to attempt a perilous journey across the expanses of her mazelike mind in order to return to the command center before the other emotions lead the dispirited girl permanently astray.

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. When Joy - the lead feeling character - aims to suppress Sadness in her entirety and, thus, prevents Riley from processing her sad feelings, Riley enters an emotionally distant and empty state. This film has been widely received, for it not only entertains its target audience of the younger generations, but also speaks to teenagers and even adults through its unique, yet accurate portrayal of how emotions in the brain function and the importance of staying in-tune with said emotions. The cultural work of Inside Out influences multigenerational understanding of mental health. In doing so, this motion picture challenges viewers to consider how complex emotional and mental problems can be, as well as encourages viewers to question the stigma associated with mental illness.

Do you ever look at someone and wonder, "What is going on inside their head?" This is the first question asked in animated film, Inside Out, and its director Pete Docter’s mind after noticing his daughter’s personality changing as she grew up. Using his daughter as inspiration, Pete Docter pitched the idea to Pixar studios where it was picked up immediately for production in 2009. He consulted with numerous child psychologists to create the movie about 11 year old girl, Riley Anderson, moving from Minnesota to San Francisco and her personified emotions to guide her through. Because Pixar’s movies are family friendly, the film’s crew cleverly used color and creative mise en scene to tell the elaborate story between Riley’s mind, the world around her, and other character’s personality traits.

In the Disney film “Inside Out,” Joy is the protagonist out of the five. emotions in the mind of Riley Anderson. She acts just as her name is- she strives to remain joyful and is always positive regardless of the situation. Joy does not ever want Riley sad, even when it is needed sometimes and because of this, she is the least flexible and most controlling of all five emotion characters: Sadness, Fear, Disgust, Anger, and herself, Joy.

In 2015, Disney Pixar released Pete Docter’s movie, Inside Out. The initial release of the movie was a hit in the box office and made a lot of young children and even their parents, thrilled to see. I went to see this movie with my family and I was actually excited about it because the previews were very entertaining. I am not one that typically wastes money to go see an animated film in the movie theater, but this one the one exception. The movie is about an 11-year-old girl, Riley, who moves to San Francisco with her parents from Minnesota, due to her father’s job. The main characters of the movie, however, are not Riley and her parents, but Riley’s primary emotions – Happiness (Joy), Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust. These emotions give us a glimpse into the mindset of a young adolescent girl who is having trouble adjusting to her new surroundings and faking her happiness for her parents. This movie appealed to me because it was so relatable and it had such a deeper messages that takes knowledge and life experience to understand. The emotions that Riley is feeling throughout the movie really made the audience feel connected to her character. The movie exceeded my expectations and made it completely worth going to see. The emotions in the movie were more than just characters; they were a part of the person watching. This movie had the potential to make viewers think about their actions and reactions towards situations in their everyday life. Riley’s

Pixar is famous for producing films that encompass the complex mix of emotions. Think of the heart-rendering scene in “Up,” where a couple's marriage passes by in a mere minute or the nostalgia felt in “Toy Story.” “Inside Out” goes one step further, by actually crafting a story that revolves around these emotions. The movie focuses around an 11 year-old girl named Riley, who experiences a huge change when her family moves from Minnesota to San Francisco. The film though mostly occurs inside Riley’s mind centering around her five core emotions- Sadness, Joy, Disgust, Fear, and Anger.

During the pre-adolescent years, the brain is under major construction, but still is able to process information, and make firm decisions based on emotions. In addition, when a child gets older, their personality evolves, and their relationships with others grow and change. In the film, Riley’s actions were determined by her emotion at that moment, which impacted her relationship with her parents and best friend. Also, Riley’s personality evolved when she got older. Her personality expanded to include thoughts about boys, fashion and other teenager thoughts (Doctor & Carmen, 2015).

This character keeps touching memories and making them sad causing Riley more and more conflict, for example Riley calls a friend back in Minnesota to catch up, but gets very sad because she misses her home and sadness touches the memory inside Riley’s head. Having multiple sad events happen to Riley in a row she is constantly feeling sad, and becomes depressed. She attempts to solve all her problems by running away. She steals money from her Mom to pay for a bus ticket, and lies about where she is going. These are all examples of what extents someone will go to when they are depressed trying to find happiness again. Having too much sadness in one persons life can cause long-term affects; for example just like Riley regressed on the memory with her friend, this can happen later in adulthood causing her to become depressed yet again. This stresses the importance that memories have on young people, and how they can effect them later in life.

Throughout the movie “Inside Out” there are five main emotions that play inside Riley’s head which are: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear. Each of the emotions plays an important part of coping with life problems. For instance, Joy’s purpose is to keep Riley happy; Sadness purpose is to make Riley feel sad and cry if she needs to; Anger’s purpose is that he cares very deeply about things being fair; Disgust purpose is to keep Riley from being poisoned physically and/or socially; and lastly, Fear’s purpose is to keep Riley safe.

Joy and Sadness getting sucked out of headquarters and are having to remain committed to each other. Joy gets aggravated with Sadness since she has such a draining personality so after going to a bunch of lands they eventually get to an island and Joy gets in a tube without Sadness. Joy wants to leave her because she is tired of having to keep teaching Sadness what to do, but the tube ends up not working. People coming into ones life or problems that happen are happening for a reason because that helped Joy realize that she needed Sadness in her life and leaving her would not be the right thing to do. Headquarters also starts becoming a crazy mess because Disgust, Fear, and Anger are trying to fill in for Joy and Sadness which they are nothing alike. Disgust, Fear and Anger have to play with the buttons on the panel to act like Joy in order to see Riley act normal so they are trying to make memories replace her personalities that she is lacking, but that doesn't seem to be working. They still remain committed to the situation that is going on and continue to try new things until something
