Inside Out (2015)

[edit]
Main article: Inside Out (2015 film)

Inside Out follows the inner workings of the mind of Riley, a young girl who adapts to her family's relocation as five personified emotions administer her thoughts and actions.[1]

Director Pete Docter conceived Inside Out in October 2009 after observing changes in his daughter's personality as she grew older.[a] Docter invited Ronnie del Carmen, who had previously worked as story supervisor on Finding Nemo (2003) and Up (2009), to come on as co-director, a role del Carmen accepted.[6][7] They sought inspiration for the film from their own personal histories and experiences,[8] including del Carmen's inspiration through his upbringing,[9] and consulted psychologists and neuroscientists in an effort to portray the mind with greater accuracy.[10][11] The film's principal characters were cast in August 2013.[12] Development lasted for five and a half years.[13][14] Inside Out debuted at the 68th Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2015,[15] and was released in the United States on June 19.[16]

Inside Out 2 (2024)

[edit]
Main article: Inside Out 2

Inside Out 2 follows a teenage Riley with four new emotions who join the original five, with opposing views on what kind of person Riley should be as she strives to prove herself at a hockey camp.[17]

Development of Inside Out 2 was first announced in 2022 during the D23 Expo announcement.[18] It features Docter's "five to 27 emotions" idea from the first film that new director Kelsey Mann pitched during its production to utilize "truthful" worldbuilding.[19] Like the first film, psychologists were consulted with during production,[20] and also had a group of teenagers who gave feedback to various early screenings of the film.[21] Inside Out 2 debuted at the El Capitan Theatre on June 10, 2024 and screened at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival on the same day.[22] The film was released in the United States on June 14.[18]
