It is not easy to understand children's emotions, but what if you were able to see their emotions being played out on the big screen? Directors Pete Docter (UP) and Ronaldo Del Carmen’s new film Inside Out allows us to see into the turbulent, humorous world of the preteen emotional landscape. Riley is the focus of this sentimental tale and she is
going through a multitude of changes in her life. Things get even more challenging when her family moves from Minnesota to San Francisco. As she grows older, these new situations wreak havoc on Riley and her family's emotional battlefield. Over the initial days of their arrival to their new home and school, her emotions, Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear
(Bill Hader), Anger ( Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith), who live in Riley’s ‘Headquarters’, try to navigate her through the emotional minefield of the past and present. Then an emotional catastrophe leads to the mixing of her emotions, memories, and responses to life, which can lead to significant, life- changing results.
