A synopsis on the film was released by Disney in 2014:
"Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley,
who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San
Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler),
Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness
(Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside
Riley's mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and
her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues
in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries
to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new
city, house and school."
The new Disney-Pixar movie Inside Out not only goes places we've never been before, but also has actors you wouldn't normally associate with a film like this, like Amy Poehler and Bill Hader. These are two very successful comedy actors, both with their roots in SNL, so you wouldn't expect them to be in a film like this one. However, I do enjoy both of these actors and I am excited to see what they bring to the movie.
I think many of us can relate to the emotions and situations that Riley is dealing with: new city, new house, new school. These things can be both exciting and terrifying at the same time. We can choose how we'll react to these situations and we will get to go on an adventure with the emotions that control Riley's reactions.
There are five main emotions represented in the movie: Joy, her primary emotion, Fear, Anger, Disgust, and Sadness. There are obviously far more sub categories of these emotions, but for simplicity, there are only five for the movie, and I think they did a good job of picking and designing them. The colors they chose for the characters fit them perfectly. They are the colors we all associate with those emotions and they come together to make a beautiful array of color. One of my favorite things about the characters is their design particularly, the way they really distinguish Joy by giving her a glow with the most variety of bright, fun colors. I actually find anger quite hilarious. He is this angry little red dude whose head catches on fire when he gets upset. The best part about him is in one of the teaser trailers. The other emotions pester him until he breaks and when he does and his head catches on fire, they proceed to roast marshmallows over his head (see gif below). Now that's ingenuity right there if I may say so.
The release date for this one is just around the corner, compared to the others–June 19, 2015–and I look forward to going to see it. Now, I have to get on with the rest of my day, but I hope y'all enjoyed this weeks blog and I hope to see you next week!

I loved learning more about this movie! I have been waiting for more information on it for awhile but have never gotten around to it. You did a fantastic job with your hook. I loved how you gave a list of some of our childhood favorites just to mention something new to love. The way that you gave a rundown of the emotions was really well done and I enjoyed the analysis of their colors. Doing a great job with your blog. Keep up the good work!
