Inside Out

The Pixar animation film Inside Out is an American 3D fantasy and comedy drama, in mainstream computer graphics and released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2015. This film is directed by Pete Docter. Inside Out shows the mindset of an eleven- year old girl called Riley Andersen. This film explores the idea of emotions and what happens inside our heads, where the five personified emotions Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear and Anger try to lead her through new changes in her life. One thing these emotions all have in common is that they are all taking care of you. When Riley and her parents move from Minnesota to San Francisco, Riley is challenged to adjust to a new city, house, school, and the hockey team. One of the key messages of Inside Out is to show

Disgust has dark green long hair reaching to the shoulders, long eyelashes, and dark green, emerald green eyes. Disgust is slim, but has a large head and dresses like a cool girl. Docter uses full shots in mostly for Disgust being seen, he purposely does this to show Disgust’s body image from head to toe and this effects the audience’s self-body image and self-esteem. Young teenagers often worry about what they look like and how they are viewed, magazines and social medias often make their self-esteem low. Docter introduces Disgust with an eye level shot in action, as Riley’s dad feeds Riley with a spoonful of broccoli. Effective Non- diegetic music and sound effects are played throughout the film. Corresponding emotive music is used for each emotion. Docter uses Riley’s brain metaphorically as the headquarters, this is very effectively used where depending on which emotions control Riley using the control console system to balance her approach to
