Plot

Riley, an 11-year-old girl, lives with her parents in Minnesota. Her father informs the family one day that they must relocate to San Francisco due to a new job offer. From Riley's perspective, the challenges of the move to the hot California town and everything that follows—a new home, new town, new school, and new friends—are all captured and described. In reality, it contains five emotions that affect a child's life and personality development: joy, sadness, anger, fear, and disgust.

Why you should watch it?

Inside Out explores one of the world's greatest mysteries: the nature of the human psyche (particularly that of a children). It does so simply, as if explaining it to a child, giving the movie a realistic feel. It demonstrates how our mind responds to unpleasant and upsetting circumstances. It illustrates what goes through a child's head when he is presented with challenges that are out of his league. Behind the desires and wishes of parents, who far too frequently force them on their own children, Inside Out reveals how children truly feel. Parents are far more affected as a result. They feel a little "sorry" about the difficult times and painful experiences their kids have to go through. From this perspective, Inside Out is primarily intended for adults, but it is still a delightful and interesting animated movie that children adore and will adore.

Changes are not easy to deal with, and little Riley starts to believe that her extreme change will forever prevent her from finding happiness. On closer study, however, it becomes apparent that she initially appears to welcome these challenges with optimism, employing her vivid imagination to create her new world in her head while remaining cognizant of the objective early challenges. So when do the real issues start? When Riley's parents stop talking to her and playing with her because they are too preoccupied with the practical issues, Riley becomes overwhelmed.

Inside Out makes a powerful argument for sadness and explains the value of forgetting (those mental and spiritual states that accompany us from the moment we cry to the moment we die) in relation to emotions. Docter, the director of the movie, explains to us how joy is, at its core, selfish, despite a few minor narrative devices, and how, on the other hand, the much-maligned Sadness is the foundation of each of our development processes. All that is left is to rely on one's melancholy in the face of impossibility of happiness and struggle in order to process unpleasant experiences and, finally, to evolve. The wonderful Bing Bong (another illustration of how Pixar knows how to work on secondary characters), an imaginary friend and symbol of Riley's childhood who remains in the dump of memories, serves as a symbol of this maturing process by allowing the child to become a girl and breaking the cycle of childhood.

In addition to creating a "masterpiece" in terms of storyline, Pete Docter has also perfected the art of animated film making. Actually, the two universes were realized using two different techniques of filming (outside and inside). Because Inside Out needed to convey both the turbulent and expressive emotional realm as well as the nuances and subtleties of the outside world. In fact, two different animation cinematography techniques were used in addition to two different creative directions and designs. Riley's outer environment was portrayed using conventional film making techniques, giving the story a more realistic sense. While a stadicam (hand-held camera) was employed for the world of Joy and company, which was entirely virtual. In fact, unique cameras with sensors were developed for the event and then inserted into the virtual environment.

Conclusion

Inside Out is a movie meant, as I said before, more for adults than for their kids, because of its intricacy; adults can comprehend some clever but not very basic ideas better than children. The movie can assist adults in comprehending and, why not, in recalling that they once had a humorous imaginary candy-floss pal as well.
A good movie, to watch with all the family!!!
