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.

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. All of the emotions in Inside Out (2015) are represented by a color, and that color is the one that reflects each personality. The film is centered on Joy and Sadness, the yellow and blue characters. Joy is the
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.

According to Adler and Proctor (2011), it talks about responding to transgressions and some examples to that would be coming to an acceptance, rejection and discussion. In the movie “Inside out” we discover how all the emotions try to steer the way to control the little girl “Riley” mind but one specific character by the name of “Joy” is basically the one in charge of them all and tries to take on more of the responsibility in situations. Throughout the movie something happens to Riley and her emotions
Inside Out is the story of a young girl, Riley, who is forced to work through her emotions when she leaves her old life in Minnesota for a new start in San Francisco. Riley 's Emotions are portrayed as little people inside her head and there are five of them: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust. Three theories that have been discussed in class and that are present in the movie Inside Out are the Memory Consolidation theory, Wish-Fulfillment theory, and the Creativity theory. Another theory, that was not talked about in class, but is present in the movie is the Cognitive Appraisal theory. A more suitable theory for inclusion in the movie would have been the James-Lange theory of emotion. This theory would have helped clear up some of Riley’s more confusing memories showing emotion.
On the outside, Riley, the movie's main character, is a typical 11 year old. Unfortunately uprooted from her home in Minnesota to live in San Francisco for her father's job, Riley has a tough transition into the new town, sports and school. Usually a happy girl, Riley begins to argue at the dinner table and fails to get onto the hockey team, leading her deeper into an unhappy state of mind. Although all of these events happen to her, like most people, Riley is guided by her emotions. There are joy, anger, fear, sadness and disgust. These emotions are located in Riley's mind, and we as the audience are able to see them physically. Throughout the movie, they help her with her everyday life and decision making process.
The Andersen family Bill, Jill, and Riley from Pixar’s film, Inside Out, was used as the subjects for a systemic assessment of child and family relationships. The author selected this film because it 's centered on an adolescent who has to deal with significant developmental and emotional changes occurring in her life that are brought on by a move to a new state. The move forces the character, Riley to leave behind everything that she has ever known and loved, like her best friend Meg and her hockey team, and travel to a far away unknown place. This causes an emotional as well as developmental change in Riley. The author is able to empathize with the character due to her own childhood experiences as an Army brat and having to frequently move, leaving friends behind, and as a parent in the military who had to frequently move her own children. She has first hand experience with the emotions an adolescent goes through as well as those of a parent who has to deal not only their own emotions, but with those of their child.
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.
This presented Docter, who had the task of creating a character whose emotions needed to be effectively communicated, with a far more demanding task my task of defining the personalities of movie characters in hopes of understanding what emotions exist in humans and how they are manifested. While I originally thought that breaking down the characters in The Breakfast Club would give me insight into the process that went into choosing the emotions in the movie Inside Out, it has mainly made me realize that, while the five emotions that governed Rylie’s head worked together to ultimately communicate that it is important to experience the full spectrum of emotions in order to thrive, I came to the realization that it is highly likely that every person that viewed the movie most likely interpreted each of those five emotions. I would think it plausible that a spectrum of the viewers viewed the character Sadness as more an embodiment of longing, while others might have interpreted Sadness as regret or
In The Achievement Habit, by Stanford Professor Bernard Roth, he explains, “in our minds we all have pictures of what and who we are” (Roth 198). This shows how we act around others and brings out our inner personalities. In the movie Inside Out, directed by Peter Docter, eleven-year-old Riley has five emotions in her head working together to show how she feels and reacts towards her everyday life.

She seems to be the captain out of the five emotions. Whenever there is a problem Joy is always their trying to make sure the problem is taken care of and
This essay is about the three core memories that have happened throughout my life and have made me the individual I am today. The idea for this essay comes from the Disney`s Pixar film “Inside Out” which is an “animated comedy about a young girl whose emotions get out of control when her family moves to San Francisco. Eleven-year-old Riley has had a joyous life in the Midwest. When Riley’s family needs to move to San Francisco, other emotions start to come out in her, like Disgust, Anger, Fear, and Sadness. As a result, Riley’s Joy is put to the test. When Joy and Sadness get whisked away from headquarters, the only emotions driving Riley are Disgust, Anger and Fear.”
Pixar’s Inside Out, not only is for the entertainment of both children and adults it has been reviewed as “Formidably ingenious” (Romney). Jonathan Romney’s article, “Inside Out review-an emotional rollercoaster” provides a deep and insightful analysis of the movie. In this article, Romney mentions everything about Inside Out including the plot of the story and the comparison between Pixar’s previous films. The most memorable part of or the article, however, is the captivation of the author with the animation style, the beautiful explanation makes me want to see the movie though his eyes and experience the magic.
The Pixar movie Inside Out received praise for being one of the first movies to center on the inner workings of a child’s mind. The movie is about Riley, an 11-year old girl and how she deals emotionally with having to move away from her home and the events that transpire after.

In the movie inside out, a running theme throughout the movie is growing up despite the ups and downs in someone's life. One of the major examples in the movie is when the character Riley begins the journey of becoming accustomed to being older and in a new school and a completely new state and city. “You remember how she used to stuck her tongue out when she was coloring? I would listen to her stories, all day. I just wanted riley to be happy.” Throughout the movie, her emotions notice how she is reacting to growing older and how she reacts in a different way then when she was younger back in Minneesota. She didn’t have the same drive as when she did back in her old town because of all of the things she was facing. Also as important in the movie is when she is faced with all these hard
Emotion plays a very important role in memory process. Before you can fully understand the role of emotion, you have to understand the memory process. There are three steps to the memory process, encoding, storage, and retrieval. If you do not fully understand memory process then it’ll be difficult to comprehend the role emotions play and the movie Inside Out, although it may be a kid’s movie, is a great way to develop a better understanding on the memory process. The movie Inside Out is about a pre-teen girl’s emotions; joy, sadness, anger, fear, and disgust, and how they all work together to help create her memories and get through life.
