The "Inside Out" Movies
The most well-known use of "Inside Out" is for a series of animated films created by Pixar. These movies are all about understanding our emotions and how they guide us through life.
The First Movie: "Inside Out" (2015)
The first film in this series is called Inside Out, released in 2015. It introduces us to a young girl named Riley and the five main emotions living inside her mind: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust. The movie shows how these emotions work together (and sometimes against each other!) to help Riley deal with big changes in her life, like moving to a new city. It's a really clever way to think about how our feelings shape who we are.
The Sequel: "Inside Out 2" (2024)
Because the first movie was so popular, a sequel was made called Inside Out 2, which came out in 2024. This film continues Riley's story as she becomes a teenager. New emotions like Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment join the original five, making Riley's mind even more complex. The movie explores the challenges and changes that come with growing up and how new feelings can mix with old ones.
