Disney Pixar's Film 'Inside Out'

Improved Essays
Disney Pixar creates movies that are the best known and anticipated worldwide. No studio is as careful with their product and as successful with their movie making as Pixar. Yet, Inside Out, far exceeded the common expectations. This movie is one of the greatest films ever produced by Pixar thanks to director, Pete Doctor and co-director, Ronnie Del Carmen who were able to make it happen. Inside Out is the story of 11 year old Riley, whose world turns upside-down when she and her parents move to San Francisco. Riley's emotions -- led by Joy try to guide her through this difficult, life-changing events. However, the stress of the move forces Joy and Sadness to go through Riley's mind – her subconscious – in an attempt to save the long term memories that are now threatened by the move (“Gordon, Bryony”). Through the journey, Joy and Sadness learned from each other and how emotions are more connected than we think and it soon becomes unavoidable for the audience to keep tears dwelling up in the end. Anyone who has had experienced mixed emotions would relate to this visually stunning film and its emotional power to transform the way we think about what’s going on inside our own minds. …show more content…
The film is wildly imaginative along with richly detailed visuals that make it impossible to absorb everything during a single view. The clever screenplay includes the concepts of the inner-workings of mind as being highly visual and realistic. The animated destinations of the Train of Thought, Long Term Memory, Abstract thought, Dream Production(“Three Views: Inside Out.” ) , and more, are well thought out and take part in surrealistic features that oddly feel believable in the personified way they are

    Entr’Acte is an early avant-garde film produced by Erik Satie and Rene Clair. In this film, two artists integrated repetitive moving image with one melody, which kept coming back, and they diffused their attitude of life into the entire production. Absurdity and repetition play extremely important roles in Entr’Acte, that both of the characteristics not only reconcile one foundational structure of the film, but also create hierarchical variations in either visual aspect or auditory aspect. Repetition in Entr’Acte builds up the fundamental structure rather than confuse the audience. Some scenes are repetitive like the overlapping architecture, ballet dancing, roller coaster.…

    J. P Sniadecki collected footage from 2011 to 2013 on China's humongous railway system, in order to present a film that uses everyday life inside the wagons to catch the essence of the modern Chinese society in the most realistic fashion. "The Iron Ministry" will screen at Bertha DocHouse on Monday, 28 August at 16:00, as part of On The Line, (25th - 28th August) a new season focusing on films which traverse the railways of the world. The documentary is actually split into two parts. The first one shows a number of "episodes" occurring inside the wagons, which range from some almost grotesque sequences of people cutting meet and relieving carcasses of their feathers, to fairly "regular", of individuals carrying huge bundles of merchandise to sell to their destination. This part is mostly silent, and has a distinct art-house feel, although the pace is faster than what is usual in such productions, as it seems to synchronize with the movement of the train.…

    Pete Docter's Pixar

    Director Pete Docter brings Pixar back to life with the animated film Inside Out. The beloved animation studio has returned to the pinnacle of adult and child entertainment established in the late-2000s with films like Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, and Toy Story 3. How fitting, then, that this picture—set predominantly inside the mind of an 11-year-old only child named Riley who’s forced to move with her parents to San Francisco from her hometown in Minnesota—features five emotions as its main characters: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust. Character development with each character is vital to the understanding and glimpse of the spectacular world of psychology and giving a simple aspect and peek into our own imagination.…

    Disney Pixar has a funny way of captivating their audiences and eliciting emotional responses. So, it’s not surprising they are able to do this effectively with a movie about emotions. Inside Out is an excellent example of a universal film, because it has a wealth of information to share with any field, especially marketing and consumer behaviors. These are some of the observations I blogged in class while watching the film: • Once the perception of the broccoli is changed from gross to enticing (via the classic parent "airplane" trick) Riley's emotions are more willing to allow the food into her system.…

    Arnold Van Gennep Theory

    Arnold van Gennep’s rite of passage theory can be applied to the film Inside Out. The theory states the threefold scheme which van Gennep presents as three stages of a rite of passage involving: separation which describes a detachment from your normal environment, liminality which entails “an inversion of normal behaviour showing a discontinuity of how things are normally meant to be,” and incorporation which gives a indication of the new role that the participants are to take on, “getting welcomed back from liminality as new people who are expected to behave differently” (Nye 2008, 147). As Riley from Inside Out grows to 12 years old, a meaningful milestone is portrayed with Riley showing significant changes from her regular emotions. After…

    Inside Out

    Although, Inside Out advocates that one should embrace all emotions, it must first illustrate the importance of negative emotions like Disgust; therefore, the movie asserts that Disgust plays a key role in keeping everyone safe, physically and emotionally. The movie first establishes that one should accept all emotions through the use of Joy’s diction when describing Disgust. When Disgust first appears, Joy says that her job was to keep Riley from being poisoned physically and socially, and when Riley is getting ready for school, Joy entrusts Disgust with dressing Riley like a model. Joy is able to delegate important tasks to Disgust and speaks highly of her, which illustrates her admiration, confidence, and trust in Disgust; Joy evidently views Disgust as a vital part of the team.…

    The theme that is shown in Inside out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai through a certain scene in the story and in my life when I first came to Chenery Middle School is life might change from what you are used to and that is OK. In Inside out and Back Again the theme is shown in the scene when they have their first Tet in Alabama and it says “Mother makes her own/ in the shape of a log,/made of pork,/regular rice,/and black beans/wrapped in cloth./Not the same,/but not bad.” This ties back to the claim because Hà has never had a Tet in Alabama(or anywhere else besides Saigon) and she wasn’t used to it and it felt different. Although she isn’t in Saigon anymore(where she celebrated Tet), celebrating Tet in Alabama wasn’t the same but not bad.…

    In the film, Inside Out, the audience follows Riley, an average girl from Minnesota who is forced to move to San Francisco when her dad’s job needs him on the west coast.

Not only does the audience watch Riley grow, they get to experience the development of her emotions and how it affects Riley as a person. The main character is Joy.…

    It didn’t feel illegal, but there was certainly a chilling aura to knowing that you were viewing what one-sixth of the world was forbidden to see. A small community of thirty-nine people attended a double feature on Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 7:00PM in Angell Auditorium A to view “Three Songs of ‘Exile’: Independent Chinese Filmmakers Far from Home.” The audience, mostly comprised of older men and women of Asian descent, seemed to all be attracted together to view this film, and casual chatter filled the auditorium; most of the audience seemed to know each other as they conversed about their families and past experiences. I was the only student, and normally I would feel like an outsider in such a situation, but the audience engaged me in…

    I decided to take a different approach to my critical film review. “Inside Out” is a recently new film that does not actually have an identified therapist or client. However, the main themes of the movie have many parallels to the content that we have been learning in class. “Inside Out” is a Disney Pixar movie that brings to life the five emotions (Joy, Anger, Disgust, Fear, and Sadness) of 11-year-old Riley. Life is seemingly going smoothly for Riley and her emotions.…
