Pixar's Inside Out
 

I'm pretty pumped about this movie. Finally getting a non-sequel from Pixar. Plus I love Pete Doctor (Monsters Inc, Up).

They released a new trailer today:

I'm really looking forward to this more than any other Pixar movie. :D

Seems like a good one! Reminds me of one of my favorite cartoon series, Once Upon A Time... Life.

What is this movie about exactly?

"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."

Huh, interesting.

Not excited for this.

Same. It seems...off. And it might have been just me, but that trailer was real hard to follow. Like, they all exist in all of their heads? Eh.

looks funny~ can't wait!! :D

Sounds like a pretty interesting plot. I'll go see it.

So mother has all female emotions and the father has all male emotions

but the daughter has mixed emotions?

already I am confused by this world that Pixar is trying to create

Yeah, It doesn't really feel like pixar either.

How the hell are some people finding the concept of the film hard to follow?!?

I was curious about why the girl's mind was "mixed gender representation," best I could come up with is that it's like the Daemon in "The Golden Compass" books. Where that sort of thing doesn't set until puberty.

Loved the animation, the gender politics of the parents makes me itchy, but overall I'm excited to see an animated movie in the style of "Herman's Head."

Looks amazing, can't wait.

San Francisco hey, what a shocker.

This looks pretty good to me; and interesting idea for a movie anyway.

You guys overthink things.

The reason the parents are so stereotypical is so that the audience doesn't have to jump through any hoops to figure them out. This movie is about discovering the little girl's feelings and emotions as she does; adding in the parents to the mix is just too much to worry about.

The animation in this looks gorgeous. You can really see the emotions on the little girl's face!

Yep, it's official, after Avengers : Age of Ultron and Star Wars: Episode VII, this is my most anticipated movie of the year. (Ironically, all three of these properties are owned by Disney.)

Not excited at all. Meh.

I am worried that the movie will be too stereotypical and sexist.

What are you basing this fear on? Is it simply because the lead is a young girl?

I am talking about the parents' portrayal. The dad seems stereotypically dumb and unaware, while the mom is stereotypically submissive and nurturing.

Lemme repeat what I said earlier.

Even if that is true it still feels cliche, cheap, lazy and like the filmmakers are not giving the audience enough credit to be able handle more than one developed and complex main character. Don't we expect more from Pixar than that? The little girl and the parents don't even seem like the main characters anyway since the movie seems more focused on the emotion characters.

Either way, this movie looks very generic and pretty underwhelming. Wasn't sold on the teaser trailer and I'm certainly not sold by the first full trailer. Pixar animated films seem to really be going downhill.

We all thought the same thing about Frozen and Wall-E, and Most people liked it. So hold judgment until the film comes out. Also, just because Pixar made A few movies that weren't as good as their earlier stuff does NOT mean that they're going downhill, at all. They're human beings, like the rest of us, they're entitled to make a few mistakes along the way.

Most people liking a movie does not immediately make it a good movie. I'm just saying that the movie looks very meh, in my opinion. People are allowed to make mistakes but with Pixar's already announced slate of sequels and less than a handful of original movies that don't have much information released about them it's really hard to get excited about their films anymore.

Well, different strokes, my friend. What I was trying to say is that there are bad trailers for gold movies, and vice versa. Hey, for all I know, you could be right and this movie could suck balls, but we won't know until it comes out.

Looks cute. I'll watch it when it comes out on DVD :D

Fantastic movie. Definitely in the upper echelon of Pixar flicks so far. Pete Docter is the best asset Pixar has. Can't wait to see what he does next.

So damn good.

Haven't seen this yet, but it sure seems to be getting a lot of advertising lately...like, more than your average Disney or Pixar film. :tlol:

I'm gonna agree with PK on this. So sick of stereotypical parent portrayals in media aimed at children.

Dad? Dumb. Mom? Under dad's thumb.

Except in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I love that movie. :tlol:

Isn't the wife usually the more dominant one "stereotypically"?

Like "whooooa better do what your wife says! Happy wife, happy life!" and all that.

yeah
 

Going to see it next weekend.

More dominant but usually not the one calling the shots. Like, husband decides to spend money on golf clubs instead of car repairs; wife rolls her eyes. Wife if trying to counsel or correct the kids, turning to her husband for support; husband hems and haws or is not paying attention.

Stuff like that.

None of this is present in the movie. That one clip is not indicative of how the parents act in the movie at all.

Good to know! And I'm totally gonna see it anyway... I was just agreeing with PK that this trend of parent portrayal can be really irritating.

But hey, Pixar isn't just any media aimed at kids; it's pretty much the highest quality out there.

Wonderful Movie, and The World That They Build Actually Makes Sense In Terms Of How The Mind Works.

Why are you capitalizing every word?

Sorry, my phone does it sometimes whenever I'm typing something. Besides, be glad I'm not typing with all capital letters.
