Have you heard about the new Disney/Pixar film to be released next June? Below are some notes from Disney/Pixar about the movie. I’m excited to see it but I’m thinking it’s going to be a tear jerker too (I’m a Disney crier so every movie is a tear jerker for me!). Check it out and let me know what you think:
From an adventurous balloon ride above the clouds to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award®-winning
director Pete Docter (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Up”) has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In
Disney•Pixar’s original movie “ Inside Out,” he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all—inside the
mind.
Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it’s no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her
father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear
(Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in
Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley
and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy,
Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to
navigate a new city, house and school.
Notes:
- Director Pete Docter is the Academy Award®-winning director of “Up.” He made his directorial debut with
Disney•Pixar‘s smash hit “Monsters, Inc.,” which was nominated for an Academy Award for best animated
feature film. Along with John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton, Docter developed the story and characters for
“Toy Story,” Pixar‘s first full-length feature film, for which he also served as supervising animator. He served
as a storyboard artist on “A Bug’s Life” and wrote the initial story treatment for “Toy Story 2.” As one of
Pixar Animation Studios’ key creative contributors, Docter garnered an Academy Award nomination for his
original story credit on Disney•Pixar’s Golden Globe®- and Oscar®-winning “WALL•E.”
- Jonas Rivera produced the Academy Award®-winning “Up,” for which he was nominated for best picture.
Prior to “Up,” he had worked on nearly every Pixar film since joining Pixar Animation Studios in 1994,
beginning with “Toy Story” for which he served as production office assistant. His subsequent credits
include “A Bug’s Life” (as art department coordinator), “Toy Story 2” (as a marketing and creative resources
coordinator), “Monsters, Inc.” (as art department manager) and the Golden Globe®-winning “Cars” (as
production manager).
