Desperate, Joy abandons Sadness and tries to ride a "recall tube" back to the Headquarters but the ground below the tube collapses, breaking and sending Joy and Bing Bong plunging into the Memory Dump. The three, after extreme inconvenience caused by the islands' dissolution, eventually catch the train but it halts when Riley falls asleep, then derails entirely with the collapse of another island. While navigating the vast long-term memory area, Joy and Sadness encounter Bing Bong, Riley's childhood imaginary friend, who suggests riding the "train of thought" back to Headquarters. Finally, Anger resolves to return to Minnesota, believing it will restore her happiness. Because of this, her personality islands gradually crumble and fall into the "Memory Dump", where memories are forgotten. In Joy and Sadness's absence, Anger, Fear, and Disgust are left in control, with disastrous results, distancing Riley from her parents, friends, and hobbies. Joy, Sadness, and the core memories are sucked out of the Headquarters. Joy tries to dispose of it by using a vacuum tube but accidentally knocks the other core memories loose during a struggle with Sadness, disabling the personality islands. On Riley's first day at her new school, Sadness retroactively turns joyous memories sad, which causes Riley to cry in front of her class and creates a sad core memory. She at first has poor experiences the new house is cramped and old, her father hardly has any time for her, a local pizza parlor only serves pizza topped with broccoli (which Riley dislikes), and the moving van with their belongings ends up in Texas and will not arrive for weeks. Joy acts as the leader, and she and the rest of the emotions try to limit Sadness's influence.Īt the age of 11, Riley moves from Minnesota to San Francisco for her father's new job. The aspects of five most important "core memories" within her personality incorporate the form of floating islands. Her experiences become memories, stored as colored orbs, which are sent into long-term memory each night. Within the mind of a young girl named Riley are the basic emotions that control her actions-Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger. Inside Out led the 88th Academy Awards season with two nominations (winning one), and received numerous accolades. It earned $858.8 million worldwide, finishing its theatrical run as the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2015. Organizations like the National Board of Review and American Film Institute named Inside Out as one of the top 10 films of 2015.
It was well-received by the media for its craftsmanship, screenplay, subject matter, plot, and vocal performances (particularly those of Poehler, Smith, Kind, and Black). Inside Out debuted out of competition at the 68th Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2015, and was released in theaters in the United States on June 19. Development on Inside Out lasted for five and a half years, on an approximate $175 million budget, and the film faced production difficulties, including story changes. During production, the filmmakers consulted psychologists in order to achieve greater accuracy in their portrayal of the mind. Based on Docter and Ronnie del Carmen's remembrances, the emotions were repurposed for use in the film. The film centers on a young girl named Riley (Dias) whose five personified emotions-Joy (Poehler), Sadness (Smith), Fear (Hader), Anger (Black), and Disgust (Kaling)-affect her life as she and her parents (Lane and MacLachlan) adjust to their new surroundings after moving from Minnesota to San Francisco.ĭocter conceived Inside Out in late 2009 after noticing changes in his daughter's personality as she grew older.
