Inside Out (2015 film)

Inside Out is a 2015 American computer-animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is directed by Pete Docter and co-directed by Ronnie del Carmen, written by Docter, Meg LeFauve, and Josh Cooley, and stars the voices of Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Richard Kind, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Kaitlyn Dias, Diane Lane, and Kyle MacLachlan. The film is set in the mind of a young girl named Riley (Dias), where five personified emotions—Joy (Poehler), Sadness (Smith), Fear (Hader), Anger (Black), and Disgust (Kaling)—try to lead her through life as she and her parents (Lane and MacLachlan) adjust to their new surroundings after moving from Minnesota to San Francisco.
Docter conceived Inside Out in late 2009 after noticing changes in his daughter's personality as she grew older. Based on Docter and del Carmen's remembrances, the emotions were repurposed for use in the film, which Docter agreed on making it. The filmmakers convinced some psychologists to consider its story by researching the mind for accuracy. Development on Inside Out lasted for five and a half years, on an $175 million budget, and the film faced a difficult production that included changes.
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. 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). Organizations like the National Board of Review and American Film Institute named Inside Out as one of the top 10 films of 2015. It earned $858.8 million worldwide, and became the seventh highest-grossing film of 2015. Inside Out led the 88th Academy Awards season with two nominations (winning one), and received numerous accolades.
