Pixar's Inside Out

[jmc]

Minions opened the same day as this down here, the line up for that film was literally out the door. There were lucky to be 20 people in screening of Inside Out.

I also wanted to mention how cute "Lava" was.

 

[jmc]

Really? I thought that short was a bit of a let down.

 

[tzarinna]

I thought it was sweet.

 

[Snow Queen]

I thought it was sweet.

I'm with you on this.

 

[tzarinna]

Thank you! I was singing along near the end.

 

[Snow Queen]

Thank you! I was singing along near the end.

I've had the song stuck in my head all day. I thought the short was really well done.

That sort of response makes me sick. Inside Out was so enjoyable and actually had something to say compared to yet another Despicable Me based film ... Though I will say, that Lava short was super dull.

I'm actually curious as to why Minions came out in Australia the same day Inside Out did worldwide. They'll cut into each other, profit-wise.

Parents, just because a movie is animated doesn't mean it's fine to bring babies to it.

School holidays. Not that uncommon down here to have two films with similar audiences opening at the same time when school is taking a break.

Seconded.

I also liked the Lava short

Is it just me or do most Pixar movies follow the same structure.

Two main characters who's personalities are opposite. Through unforeseen circumstances, they are forced to go on a journey together. The more uptight one yells at the other one for "screwing things up" but eventually learns to loosen up and realizes the value of being like the other one. Final act where they work together and complete the journey.

I'm not saying those movies aren't great and well executed but I am noticing a trend. The only ones that don't seem to follow that trend is Incredibles and Ratatouille.

 

[TheVileOne]

Technically Ratatouille follows it with Linguine and Remy.

I just got back from this and I absolutely adored it. It's Pixar's best IMO and we all know that means a lot.

I loved joy and sadness and I loved that it wasn't your typical here are the goodies and baddies and the plot to take over the world business. It was so deep and meaningful. I teared up more than once.

I also adored the lava short. That volcano was so sweet. I think that's the best love story of the last five years. He just had so much love to give and it had nothing to do with power and control. Just sweetness. My friends and I were singing that song all night (with slightly changed lyrics) and we all, gay and straight, could say it meant a lot to us.

That lava short had more of an emotional connection within 7 minutes than the whole of jurrassic world put together

It destroyed me. I loved it.

Cars 1 didn't follow this trend, but Cars 2 did

 

[samsnee]

True. Cars 1 was basically a Doc Hollywood remake.

 

[Blue42]

INSIDE OUT was #1 on Friday and earned an estimated $34.2 million on opening day Friday.

Really hoping it can zoom past JW.

This was a great movie to see in a packed theater (430 seats and sold out). I haven't heard so much sniffling during a movie in a long time.
I especially liked the bit at the end where they show the "voices" from other peoples heads especially...

Spoiler

The cat, dog and bus driver t:

I thought Lava was good and cute, and the animation was top notch, but it didn't measure up to shorts like Paper Man, Feast and Frozen Fever.

Spoiler

the boy who met Reiley was completly unrelatable and separated from reality...

 

[terry78]

All in all, it's a movie about growing up. I think, as cynical or "I don't give a ****" as some of us may act nowadays, we all had that imaginary friend, that time we recall the floor was made of lava, etc. We just don't like to admit it.

I think you're looking at it wrong and far too literally. Now, I haven't seen the movie and could very well be wrong myself, but my impression is not that Pixar is trying to teach kids how to let emotions "drive" them, but to show how emotions affect a person in general. If you're aware of how uncontrolled emotions can affect you (and yes, in some cases drive your actions), you're one step closer to correcting problematic behavior and thoughts.

This is what I got from the premise as well. (Haven't seen this yet. Think I should catch this with both my husband and my friend with BPD, both of whom sometimes make big rash decisions without thinking through them.)

Even full-grown adults make emotional decisions. Most of our decisions ARE emotional - we make them first then rationalize them later.

If you don't think this is true, just look at how many people have issues with addiction (including relapsing), anger, unhealthy relationships with people/money/jobs/family/food. All of that has to do with emotion, and that's probably the majority of our lives.

I love that Pixar has made a movie that can teach kids AND adults how to identify the feelings that may control our actions a little too much. We need to be able to sit down and identify them, instead of hiding our feelings behind vices and social media.
