Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of film critics two questions and publishes the results on Monday. (The answer to the second, “What is the best film in theaters right now?”, can be found at the end of this post.)
This week’s question: “Coco” arrives in theaters on November 22nd. With that in mind, we asked our panel of critics to name their favorite Pixar movie. In a testament to the studio’s work, all seven of the critics who participated in this survey highlighted different films.

John Lasseter isn't directing Toy Story 4 anymore, he confirms.
At Disney’s D23 Expo 2017 in Anaheim, California over the weekend, Pixar and Disney Animation head John Lasseter surprised the packed convention hall by revealing that he was stepping down as the co-director of Toy Story 4.
Lasseter did not give a reason why he was not going to co-direct his first feature since Cars 2 in 2011, but instead focused on introducing his co-director Josh Cooley, who will now receive sole directing credit on the fourth Toy Story entry. No other plot or cast details were revealed for the 2019 release.
Cooley began his career at Pixar in 2004 as an intern and later worked as a storyboard artist on The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, Up and Cars 2. He also was a screenwriter on Inside Out, and wrote and directed two shorts, including Riley’s First Date?

For years many Disney-Pixar fans have noticed familiar characters making cameos in other Pixar movies. A previous fan theory states that every Pixar film exits in the same universe, and now that theory is somewhat confirmed in a new Disney video shared on Toy Story’s official Facebook.
The clip reveals how various Pixar movies like “Wall-e,” “Toy Story,” and “Cars,” among others, are connected and reveals exactly where you can see the hidden Easter eggs. The video begins by spotlighting a little girl in “Finding Dory” who happens to be Riley from “Inside Out.”

Pixar’s known habit of hiding Easter Eggs is showcased in an official video that confirms and reveals examples.
The idea that the CGI animation wizards at Pixar insert fascinating Easter Eggs into their films, referencing their other features is hardly headline news. Indeed, many-a-listicle has been compiled by eagle-eyed Pixar experts identifying the proverbial Where’s Waldo? Pixar elements hidden in plain sight within seemingly innocuous scenes. However, in what might be considered a top-secret document dump, the studio has released a remarkable video montage of their sneaky handiwork.

As if Pixar fans needed another reason to re-watch their favorite films! The team at Oh My Disney recently compiled a video guide that links Easter eggs from 1995's Toy Story through 2016's Finding Dory. Some secrets were uncovered long ago, like Boo giving Sully a plush version of Nemo in Monsters, Inc., while other teases might surprise even the biggest movie buffs. The supercut was shared via Toy Story's Facebook page over the weekend. For example, who knew that tween Riley Andersen from Inside Out makes a cameo in Finding Dory? Or that Forrest Woodbush from The Good Dinosaur makes an appearance in Inside Out. Pixar has long used its films to tease future projects. Considering that...

One of movie fans favorite events of Oscar Week was held Thursday evening at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre, as the Academy held the eighth annual event celebrating the nominees for Best Animated Feature Film.
The evening featured clips from each film, followed by an onstage discussion with each group of nominated filmmakers.
This year’s eclectic mix – Anomalisa, Boy and the World, Inside Out, Shaun the Sheep Movie and When Marnie Was There – are as international as they are distinct.
Employing a stunning variety of animation techniques, the nominees explored a wide range of topics, including existential despair, devastation of natural resources, learning to handle emotion, the value of friendship and surviving the difficulties of adolescence.
This year, members were able to stream the movies and voting came from all over the world.
The evening’s hosts were Don Hall, Chris Williams, Roy Conli, last year’s Oscar winning team from Big Hero 6.

The director of the Pixar film tipped to win the best animation Oscar on the emotions that didn’t make the cut – including Schadenfreude clad in lederhosen
Frozen might be a tweenie merchandising industry, but Pete Docter’s Inside Out is the film with a grip on adults and children all over the world. It’s the animated story of a lonely kid called Riley in whose head argue five personified emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust.
After watching Inside Out, it’s just impossible to walk around without imagining how your own five emotions are talking among themselves, as they see what you’re seeing on their widescreen monitor. It’s a film that’s getting to be part of the culture. And its director, Pete Docter, is getting to be a serial award winner, poised to win his second Oscar on Sunday (he won his first for Up).

"I remember when I first started and [director Pete Docter] pitched me the idea that he wanted it to be about sadness, I remember thinking, that is such a profound idea to put out into the world," says "Inside Out" co-writer Meg LeFauve about the theme of the Pixar animated film, for which she's nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay along with co-writers Docter, Ronnie Del Carmen and Josh Cooley. "What we're really talking about is self-acceptance: be where you are and accept you are angry, you are sad." -Break- Oscar predictions: Will Ennio Morricone finally win Best Score for 'The Hateful Eight'? "Inside Out" is about 11-year-old Riley and the five emotions that govern her personality: Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Anger (Lewis Black), Fear (Bill Hader) and Disgust (Mindy Kaling). When Joy and Sadness become separated from the group, the two opposing e...

Whether the filmmakers ultimately intended it or not, it’s terrifically entertaining to swot up on the highly inventive fan theories that do the rounds online, ranging from the hilariously ridiculous to the strangely plausible.
Whether semi-plausible or completely absurd, these 12 fan theories were either tremendously, terrifyingly logical or just so eye-wateringly entertaining that their believability (or lack thereof) ceased to be a problem. Because no matter what kind of movie you’re making, there’s always going to be someone connecting their own set of dots and drawing their own nutty conclusions.

This past summer's "Inside Out" proved to be Pixar's best received film in years, and now a University of Utah film student has put together a quite different take on the film which you can see below. "Inside Out: Outside Edition" uses only the scenes set outside of Riley's mind, without the feelings letting us know what's going inside her head. The aim was to see if those scenes work on their own, oddly enough they hold up quite well.

We need some new emotions for this one. Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust don't really cut it for this new edit of "Inside Out" with the "Inside" bits cut out. Surprised and Impressed are good starts, though ... and maybe Sadness can come back, since the story is even more poignant when it looks like Riley is completely alone.
Jordan Hanzon posted a 15-minute video called "Inside Out: Outside Edition" at the request of a fellow fan, and it quickly went viral. Here's Riley's "outside" story, which edits out the emotions that drive most of the film:
Inside Out: Outside Edition from Jordan Hanzon on Vimeo.
Now it's more of a sad indie drama than a Pixar comedy, but you can still read what Riley (and the other characters) are thinking from their expressions, which is what we have to do with regular people all the time. There are some awkward cuts,...

Sure, the story of Riley and her folks muddling through their new life in San Francisco is riveting on its own, but does Inside Out hold up without them? See for yourself in the video below, as a rather industrious editor has removed all of the "emotion" from Inside Out, leaving the following short film behind. Jordan Hanzon is the editor you have to thank for what he's dubbed, "The Outside Edition" of Inside Out, which was recently featured by the good folks over at Dorkly. Clocking in at a really short 15 minutes and change, this new cut of the film shows just how much the story depends on the plot-line that follows Joy and Sadness throughout Riley's subconscious. Yet, strangely enough, it also highlights how Inside Out could have worked as a straight drama in its own right. Forgiving the inherent awkwardness that even the best fan edits...

Far be it from me to disagree with our staff, but I would hard-pressed to name 30 films from 2015 that I would consider among the “best” of the year.
The same can’t be said for film music, though. As predictable as each superhero template or franchise reboot may have been this year, composers keep finding new ways to reinvent the sounds of the cinema. Not to mention that the ever-widening landscape of VOD and streaming service-produced projects has increased the room with which artists can flex their musical chops.
2015 was an embarrassment of movie score riches. In indie horror gem Bone Tomahawk, Jeff Herriott & S. Craig Zahler inject hope and despair into a bleak, cannibal-stricken Wild West, where feeling anything is better than the unflinching mortality facing its characters. Patrick Doyle’s warmhearted Cinderella continued Disney’s tradition of attaching amazing scores to frivolous live-action do-overs, while on the other end of the spectrum,...

This Edit of Inside Out Without the 'Inside' Scenes Proves You Didn't Need Bing Bong to Start Crying
You might remember Inside Out for its intricate examination of a girl's interior life (and for Richard Kind's performance as Bing Bong), but what if it was about the opposite of that (and there was no Bing Bong, God forbid)? Well, according to an edit from Vimeo and University of Utah film student Jordan Hanson, who put together an edit of the film without any scenes inside Riley's mind, Inside Out would just be a sad, kinda normcore movie about girl who moves across the country and has to deal with a slew of mood swings. It's like Boyhood, but about a girl and with more hockey.

2. Inside Out
I don't think I've ever seen a film quite like Inside Out. It'll be a long time before I do again. Even in the catalogue of Pixar, the firm has rarely tackled anything as narratively ambitious as this nugget of gold, in a year that's hardly been short on quality animation (Song Of The Sea, for a start).
In the run up to its release, it seems churlish now to consider that Inside Out was being pigeon-holed as a movie take on the cartoon strip The Numskulls, given that it followed the antics of the characters inside the head of a girl, who controlled just what she did.

The last few days of 2015 are spent in reflection about the year that's just wrapping up and in anticipation of the year just ahead, at least for me, and since we had our ten best list last week, this week it's time for the runners-up, the fifteen films that also filled out our year. As always, I look at this list and I think it would make a perfectly spiffy top ten if that's how things had shaken out, which is to say that the only real purpose of any of these lists is to remind you of more of the experiences that were worth having in a theater. There are plenty of good films that aren't on either of my lists this year. That doesn't mean I didn't like them or they're not good. It just means that these films meant more to me for some reason. For now,...

There has yet to be a Pixar film that did not summon the inner workings of my tear ducts (except you, “Cars 2”), but this year’s aptly exasperating “Inside Out” certainly brought out feelings I, like Joy and Sadness themselves, accidentally ejected. Along with Joy and Sadness, their friends Fear, Disgust, and Anger round out the flawless cast of feelings inside an eleven-year-old girl named Riley, who has just left her childhood home and moved across the country to San Francisco. Read More: 'Inside Out' And The Vital Importance Of Sadness In Pixar's Blockbuster Hit Pete Docter’s subtle ride into the mind of an adolescent is brilliant on many levels — for children and adults alike — but as a director, his explorations into the anxieties of our culture and how they are needled by our necessities to embrace feelings are bold — particularly when citing sadness as indispensable to cognitive function.

How you feel about The Good Dinosaur probably has a lot to do with how good you thought Inside Out was. That film was no where near as beautifully crafted or as aesthetically striking as this, but its heavier reliance on a more complex story (calling it more original wouldn’t be exactly true) seems to be cherished more.
You could say that The Good Dinosaur shows some of the scars of its long gestation, particularly in its simplicity and familiarity, but then the lack of a B plot was a conscious decision, and not a compromise of having too many cooks. And if anything, the longer production time allowed for greater technological advances and a more beautiful canvas.
Plus, if it wasn’t for Inside Out’s feels, you would probably have crowned that moment with the little stick families the most devastatingly upsetting moment since Toy Story 3.

Recalling that classic episode of TV’s “Seinfeld”, most folks would frown on “double-dipping” (that’s the accusation hurled at George Costanza when observed dunking the same chip into salsa a second time). But in this occasion the “dd” would be considered a “pretty,pretty” good thing. That’s because in 2015 film goers will (as of Thanksgiving Eve) get to double dip into Pixar Studios’ tasty movie diversions. It doesn’t quite make up for the lack of a feature film last year, but the company’s releases are nearly always a welcome treat at the multiplex. Just this past June we were dazzled by the adventures of the emotions of a preteen girl named Riley in the wondrous Inside Out (look for it to get a whole lotta’ Oscar love). This new film is a bit more Earth bound (rather than “brain bound”?). Well, it’s really set way,...

It is a shame that The Good Dinosaur should have to be released so shortly after this year’s other Pixar film, Inside Out. Following in the wake of the earlier film, which was an endlessly imaginative analogy for the emotional and psychological development of a young girl, it is hard for any film from any studio to feel like anything more than a tired retread of familiar ideas. The story of Joy, Sadness, and Riley was so stuffed with inventiveness and novelty with gloriously rendered and conceived avatars of abstract concepts that it defied belief. Inside Out was a clear classic, a bold exercise in filmmaking that showed us what exactly animation can do that no other medium could hope to accomplish.

"Inside Out": Pixar's most adult, abstract movie remains the frontrunner, paying off creatively and commercially in spectacular fashion ($356 million, the third highest domestic gross so far in 2015 and number three in Pixar history). Pete Docter delves deep inside the cartoony mind of 11-year-old Riley, but it's Joy's story about attaining emotional maturity yet growing up with the spirit of innocence intact. Good thing he switched antagonists from Fear to Sadness because that's where the darkest conflict resides. The elaborate candy-colored world of theme parks and islands is a remarkable achievement, as is Joy, who literally shines brightest as an effervescent light bulb, requiring her own special rig and geometric lighting model. And what a powerful message: It's Ok to be sad. That just makes the happiness more meaningful. 2. "The Peanuts Movie": Speaking of uncharted territory, Blue Sky raised its game in recreating the pen line...

★★★★☆ Pixar have knocked it out of the park with new film Inside Out (2015), which premièred at Cannes earlier this year. Directors Pete Docter and Ronaldo Del Carmen have crafted a cerebral comedy, loaded with smart, witty humour and a great deal of meta-emotional intelligence. The story opens with the birth of Riley. At the same time, Joy (Amy Poehler) pops into being inside of Riley's head. Joy is a blue-haired Tinker Bell, bouncing around Riley's head full of a lust for life.

Pixar’s latest effortlessly conveys the idea that its hero is both the sum of her emotions and somehow independent of them
It’s perhaps the most reliable narrative tic of the Pixar universe: the placing of a fantastical realm, filled with colourful characters and outlandish scenarios, somewhere within our own. Think of the clandestine plastic civilisation operating throughout American society in the Toy Story franchise, or the nightmare-industrial complex harnessing the fears of human children in Monsters, Inc. Never has this fascination with hidden worlds been more ambitiously explored than in Inside Out, a brazenly existential blockbuster in which viewers are invited to venture inside the mind of 11-year-old Riley Andersen, to meet the anthropomorphic manifestations of her key emotional states: joy, sadness, fear, anger and disgust.
The relationship between Inside Out’s two realities – the physical world Riley occupies and the interior realm of her own mind – is...

Even by Pixar standards Inside Out was a surprise – not only was it a return to form after some less well-received films, but it actually stands as one of the studio’s finest films (and an uncontested best of 2015). But what’s it like being a part of such an immense success?
To find out, WhatCulture had a chat with Kaitlyn Dias, who played Riley in the film, ahead of the movie’s home video release to talk about the Pixar experience and what’s next for the gang of emotions.
WhatCulture: The film has been so so loved, it’s my favourite of the year, and many people regard it as one of the studio’s best. Obviously you know you’re gonna be in something good when you go with Pixar, but when did you realise this was something Really special?

From “Spy” to “Inside Out,” these are the major motion picture casts that still have us raving. “Inside Out”Don’t discredit one of the year’s best ensembles just because you can’t see its actors; the Disney Pixar animated film boasts a troupe of A-listers so masterfully cast that they can convey every nuance with their voices alone. Living inside 11-year-old Riley’s head, her emotions Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), and Disgust (Mindy Kaling) are tested when Riley’s parents (Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan) decide to move the family from the Midwest to San Francisco. Joy, who’s used to being in charge, fights to regain control when the stress of Riley changing schools, leaving her friends behind, and moving out of her childhood home pushes Sadness to the forefront. Much like writer-director Pete Docter’s previous films (“Up,...

Inside Out is a good movie. It.s actually a great movie. These are simply undeniable facts. That needs to be said up front. The other thing that needs to be said is that just because the movie is great doesn.t mean we can.t still have some fun pointing out some of it.s minor, or major errors. No movie is without sin, though Inside Out comes about as close as any to getting there. Check out the newest piece from Cinemasins. After getting the obligatory Herman.s Head reference out of the way, we get down to the real details. The major issue that the movie has if you look closely, which is why we have decided not to do that, is that really the world of the mind makes no sense. There are five emotions, only five, but they don.t make Riley the person that...

“We all have little voices in our head.”
CineMash has taken Pixar's charming heartfelt animated adventure about emotions, Inside Out, and cut together a trailer that makes it look like a dark and disturbing psychological thriller. It's brilliantly done in a way that makes Riley look like she's losing her mind, and it doesn't use any of the emotion characters from the film. So it basically shows us what this movie would actually be like if we didn't see what was going on in her head with Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust.
This is how regular observers would see her in real life. Turns out she's just a deeply disturbed kid descending into madness as she is battling the voices in her head while trying to survive in her new home of San Francisco. Of course, the eerie music used in the video really drives the point home.

To mark the release of Inside Out on 23rd November, we’ve been given 3 copies to give away on Blu-ray. Based in Headquarters, the control centre inside 11-year-old Riley’s mind, Inside Out follows five Emotions who are hard at work, led by light-hearted optimist Joy (Amy Poehler), whose mission is to make sure Riley stays

While it’s worlds away from the emotionally-driven tale of Inside Out in terms of setting, Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur shares a handful of traits with its animation peer in that it is a coming-of-age tale. Similarly to Riley’s journey of dealing with growing pangs and irksome parents, the Peter Sohn-directed picture will orbit around Arlo, a wide-eyed Apatosaurus who is tossed into the deep end – quite literally, going off the most recent trailer – when he becomes separated from his father.
And so, what follows is a defining tale across the primordial land, meeting all kinds of strangers along the way. In fact, today’s all-new teaser finds Arlo striking up an unusual alliance with a trio of T-Rexes. Ditching the carnivores versus herbivores trope, the sharp-toothed squad help our title protagonist along his way, though not before using him as a decoy to gain a quick bite.

It’s a 4-minute follow-up to Pixar’s hit Inside Out. We take a look at the making of director Josh Cooley’s Riley’s First Date?...
There’s a superb moment in Pixar’s short film Riley’s First Date? where a 12 year-old boy named Jordan stares listlessly out of a window. His eyes are half-closed, his mouth slightly open, his shoulders slumped. Then the view cuts to the fantastical space inside the boy’s brain, and all his emotions are enjoying the downtime: skating around on half-pipes, whooping and wailing with delight.
It’s a short, almost disposable sequence, but one which aptly sums up the humour which made Inside Out, directed by Pete Docter and Jonas Rivera and released earlier this year, such a hit with audiences. Everything that happens in both the feature film and its related short feels rooted in ordinary human...

Guilt, shame, envy … now we know which emotions officially didn’t make the cut for the original crossover smash, it’s time to suggest a few for a second journey into Riley’s mind
Inside Out was an almost completely perfect film. Adolescents could relate to it. Adults could reminisce about it. Children who enjoy watching their parents burst into shuddering fits of tears for seemingly no reason also managed to get plenty out of it. This universal appeal was, in part, down to the well-balanced blend of emotions represented in the film.
There was Joy, there was Sadness, there were Fear and Anger and Disgust. However, a featurette included on the Inside Out DVD reveals that 26 emotions were initially considered for the film. Greed was one that didn’t make the cut, as were Hope, Guilt, Shame, Pride, Envy, Gloom, Despair and Embarrassment. Schadenfreude was even in the running,...

People get their inspiration for their characters in the oddest places. The inspiration for most of Pixar.s characters in Inside Out is fairly obvious. They are emotions after all. But it was another character, the imaginary friend Bing Bong that stole many hearts when we watched the film earlier this year. It turns out this was fitting since the character was inspired by a beloved comedian in one of his most iconic roles. John Candy.s part in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Candy often played hapless and clueless characters which, combined with his imposing size, made for a natural comedic dichotomy. It was this look and feel that director Pete Doctor wanted to create for Riley imaginary friend in the film. In an interview with Pixar Lead Animator Chris Sasaki Yahoo Movies reveals the connection. I remember [writer-director] Pete Docter telling me to think about John Candy from Planes, ...

"Inside Out" was all about emotion, and it certainly brought out lots of emotions in moviegoers, too, particularly in one heart-wrenching scene between Joy (Amy Poehler) and Bing Bong. Now, Richard Kind, who voiced Riley's lovable imaginary friend, has revealed that that interaction was initially even more sad than what audiences eventually saw onscreen -- and thankfully, filmmakers spared us that rollercoaster.
In an interview with MTV News, Kind discussed the scene in question, in which (Spoiler) Bing Bong is trying to help Joy out of the memory dump abyss, and sacrifices himself so that she can survive and reunite with Sadness (Phyllis Smith). It's an absolutely heartbreaking scene, especially when Bing Bong tells Joy, "Take [Riley] to the moon for me."
Kind admitted that that last bit of dialogue "kills me" and "gives me chills," but added that originally, there was even more content to depress audiences. He told...

We recently journeyed to Pixar to take a look behind the scenes of The Good Dinosaur. Ryan goes behind the scenes of Pixar's latest.
Over 20 years of feature filmmaking, Pixar has specialised in making us care about the unlikeliest of characters: toys, cars, fish, insects, the emotions rattling around inside the head of an ordinary school girl. It all began, of course, with Toy Story, the 1995 film which transformed the face of animated movies. Its humour, pathos and technical ingenuity were all so natural, so effortless, that it’s easy to forget just how ground-breaking John Lasseter’s film really was.
With each subsequent film, Pixar has explored different themes and set itself new challenges; it’s worth noting that, of the 15 feature-length movies Pixar has released so far, only four are sequels. Pixar’s most recent film, Inside Out, is the latest example of how adept...

Last summer, Pixar's Inside Out took audiences into the brain of young Riley as she was uprooted from her beloved Midwestern home by her parents' decision to move to San Francisco. Her primary emotions -- Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust, and Sadness -- were thrown into conflict as Riley struggled to adapt to a new city, a new house and a new school. The movie met with critical and popular success, earning more than $354 million at the U.S. box office. Inevitably, however, some wondered how Riley's emotions were selected. While six "classic" emotions -- happy, surprised, afraid, disgusted, angry and sad -- have long been recognized, recent research suggests there may be only four "basic" emotions: happy, sad, afraid/surprised, and angry/disgusted.

Instead of having a slew of emotions inside Riley’s mind, they opted to go with only Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear. And while that seems like an oversimplification of our emotions, it […]

Screen Junkies' Honest Trailers series usually roasts bad movies we love to hate, but the latest video takes on Disney/Pixar's instant classic "Inside Out," which makes grown men cry -- including during the trailer itself.
Here's a pretty good description for the movie:
Pixar built a reputation with stories that mess with your emotions. Now they've cut out the middleman and are messing directly with the emotions themselves in a film that teaches kids they aren't responsible for their actions -- it's just tiny people in their head pushing their brain buttons. You know, there's a word for that: schizophrenia!"
There's also a suggestion that 11-year-old Riley might be bipolar, since she swings from two extreme emotions. But at least the movie heads into a little girl's brain and not a guy's since, the trailer notes, that would probably be a porno.
After Joy and Sadness are sucked away,...

Riley experiences ‘take your daughter to work day’ in this deleted scene from Disney Pixar’s wonderful Inside Out…
Inside Out is a movie that we really loved here at Geek Towers. From its stellar voice cast and zinger-filled script to its important message and mature undertones – this is a film that won a lot of adoration, it seems fair to say.
You’ll be glad to know that its disc release is coming soon, then. In the USA, you can take Inside Out home on Tuesday the 3rd of November. Here in the UK, we have to wait until Monday the 23rd of November.
To tide us over, the fine folk at Disney Pixar have released this unfinished deleted scene…

Patchwork
Written by Tyler MacIntyre & Chris Lee Hill
Directed by Tyler MacIntyre
Canada/USA, 2015
Director Tyler MacIntyre’s film, Patchwork, is horror/comedy that puts a modern spin on the mythology established in Mary Shelley’s classic story, Frankenstein. At its core, Patchwork is an examination of life death in the modern age, mixed with violence, gore, and a cheeky tone sure to delight fans of classic 80’s scream-fests.
In Patchwork, Jennifer (Tory Stolper) is a young professional woman living in Los Angeles, and the embodiment of the fast-paced L.A. lifestyle: she hangs out in bottle service booths inside trendy nightspots, wears pantsuits, and dates a douchey guy that wears a Bluetooth headset while at a club (and he also cheats on his wife). When Jennifer’s frenemies don’t show up to join her birthday jam, she goes home alone, hoping to “Netflix and chill” with her philandering...

A Pixar fan-theory for Inside Out has been officially debunked by the film's director Pete Docter, making a few people very Angry.
Docter - who also directed Monsters, Inc. (2001) and Up (2009) - tried to let people down gently, but when it comes to this particular thesis, Anger is a big part of it.
The theory goes like this: young Riley is controlled by five emotions - Joy, Fear, Sadness, Anger and Disgust - some male, some female.
But her parents are different. Her mother also has the same five emotions, but they are all female. Her dad, similarly, has the same five emotions but they are all male.
Eagle-eyed fans surmised that this meant Riley had not identified her sexuality yet, which explains the disparity in genders between her parents and herself.
Neat idea, right? Neat it may be, but it's also wrong. The perceived genders of 11-year-old Riley's...
