Supplemental context

Inside Out personifies emotions to tell a story about a child adapting to a move. Pixar's official synopsis describes Riley leaving her Midwestern life for San Francisco and the conflicting responses of Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. The imagined control room is a storytelling device that makes internal tensions visible. For future audiences, the film offers an example of popular culture giving children and adults shared language for discussing difficult feelings. That usefulness does not depend on treating the fictional mechanisms inside Riley's mind as a literal account of how brains work.

Creator/community: Pixar Animation Studios and the Inside Out filmmaking ensemble Place/era: United States, 2015 animated feature
