We had no Pixar movie last year (boo!!!), but this year we have two (yay!!!) with Inside Out leading the charge this Summer (followed by The Good Dinosaur in November). Inside Out continues the studio's trend of deep story telling spinning out of wonderfully unique ideas, taking a trip inside the head of 11 year old Riley, and introducing us to the emotions, led by Amy Poehler's Joy, who guide her through her everyday life.
Released: 19th June 2015 (U.S.)/ 24th July 2015 (IRL/U.K.)
Synopsis: From the tepuis of South America to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award®-winning director Pete Docter has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In 2015, he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all - inside the mind of an 11-year-old named Riley.
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.
