Inside Out Sneak Preview

Pixar

I was in EPCOT yesterday, and had the chance to see a ten minute preview of Inside Out. At the moment, it's an Annual Passholder exclusive. When we walked in, we simply showed our Annual Passes and were given Inside Out buttons, and an awesome magnet set. It says "Today I'm feeling" and you put the frame on the appropriate emotion: Joy, Anger, Disgust, Sadness, or Fear. It's pretty cool.

Before the preview, the film makers explained why they made the film, which took five years to create. The man who made the initial pitch for the film said that he was inspired by his daughter. She had always been a bright and bubbly, happy girl when she was young, but as she got older, she became quieter and more reserved and he and his wife wondered, "What's going on inside her head?"

Inside Out tells the tale of 11 year old Riley, although she's actually the setting for the film. The emotions in her head are the main characters. They help her to interact with the world. But when Joy and Sadness accidentally get sucked into the long term memory storage, Fear, Anger, and Disgust struggle to guide Riley until Joy can return. It looks like a very insightful take on what goes on inside our heads.

Inside Out arrives in theaters on June 19.
