    Today at D23 John Lasseter called Up director Pete Docter‘s new film Inside Out “one of the most unique films I’ve ever been associated with – a magical, wonderful, original film.”

    The concept is one, they said, that can only be done in animation. We’re inside Riley, age 11. She’s a happy, adventurous kid from Minnesota who loves hockey. But her family movies to San Francisco and everything changes. The characters are her emotions. Anger, pictured as red with a flattop, is voiced by Lewis Black. Mindy Kaling is Disgust, teen and green. Bill Hader is fear, purple and puzzled, in a black and white checkered shirt. Phyllis Smith is Sadness, blue and wearing glasses.

    And the most important character is Joy, voiced by Amy Poehler, in a yellow dress, with short blue hair. We have more story info below.

    Footage shown and described let us know about the “headquarters” of the film — Riley’s consciousness, seen as a screen, with memories storied on racks. Joy is at the controls. If she likes a moment, they store it on a shelf, and it can be replayed like a DVD. But tensions are escalating in headquarters. Joy and Sadness are thrown out of the mind and into places people have thought about but never seen.

    One space, Long-Term Memory, looks like a huge room. There are Imaginationland, Abstract Thought, and Dream Production (looks like a movie lot), all connected by the Train of Thought. Headquarters is left with Anger, Fear and Disgust in charge. Things are hard for Riley.

    In one clip, the girl’s family is talking. We see Riley, and the three emotions are in control of her mind.

    The scene takes place in four spaces – the real world, and in the heads of the mother, father and daughter. Mom’s emotions are very sweet; Riley’s are angsty (Disgust pretends to be Joy); and Dad’s are bored. When we first see Dad’s emotions, they arent paying attention to the situation. They’re watching hockey. But as the situation escalates at the dinner table they begin to get more and more agitated. Things in his head get raised to Defcon 2, then, they decide to “bring down the foot” which they treat like the release of a nuclear bomb.

    It’s like the emotions are a greek chorus for everything going on as the footage goes between the human characters and the personified emotions controlling them.
    So it's basically Herman's Head meets Psychonauts?
    Sure why not?

    Sounds a little complicated in the description. I'm sure it'll play out fine, but it simply takes too long to explain.

    Lewis Black as the voice of Anger = brilliant casting.
    "We eventually managed to find them near Biskupin, where demonstrations of prehistoric farming are organized. These oxen couldn't be transported to anywhere else, so we had to built the entire studio around them. A scene that lasted twenty-something seconds took us a year and a half to prepare."

    I find all the choices for those 5 emotions incredibly obvious.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    It's rumored Bob Peterson has been removed as director of The Good Dinosaur. Pretty late in the game for that, it would seem.

    If true, it definitely helps to explain why there was no teaser before Monsters University and why Peterson was not in attendance and apparently never mentioned at the D23 panel. It seems like they still want to release it in June, but I can't pretend I'm not worried now.

    It's a shame that this seems to be happening more and more at the studio. As much as similar situations have worked out well before (Lasseter coming onto Toy Story 2 less than a year before release, Bird swooping in to take over Ratatouille), more recently the results have been much more obviously disjointed (Cars 2, and to a different extent Brave).

    Eh, I still have faith they can turn this around. Lassester also changed directors on Tangled and that one turned out pretty well. He did it for Bolt, as well, but I'd rather had seen Sanders' movie than the alright movie that came out of the mess.
    This is a signature, I assume.

    Not too surprisingly, The Good Dinosaur has been pushed back, all the way to November 2015 (a year and a half after originally slated). That date was formerly Finding Dory's, so that's now been bumped to 2016.

    Inside Out is staying put for Summer 2015, making it the studio's next movie. But with that being a full two years after Monsters U, 2014 will be the first year since 2005 that they've gone without a release.

    At least they aren't rushing themselves.

    Eh, fair point, but I think that says more about the strength of the respective brands than anything else. "Planes" squeaked by because parents thought it was a Pixar film.

    Also, just to throw in a few nitpicks:

    - It made $139MM, $55MM of that overseas (so $83MM domestic).
    - By comparison, "Cars 2" made $191MM domestic.
    - Disney spent $25-50MM on advertising, given that this was a big release in 3,700 theaters in the U.S.

    Wouldn't call it a bomb, per se, but it's hardly a success either.

    They already announced that over a month ago. It's called Planes: Fire and Rescue.

    See, I assumed he already knew, but I'm not sure if the way he framed it as a joke or the reality of how it now functions in their schedule is more ridiculous (especially since it'll be two years of it in a row and most people sadly assume it's Pixar anyway).

    When did we decide that kids and families were incapable of being entertained by and appreciating serious, thoughtful films? Assuming the film resembles the trailer, that is really a pity. The Snow Queen deserves a better adaptation than that shit.

    What, you didn't like the dialogue?

    "Olaf! You're melting."

    "Some people are worth melthing for."

    :lol:

    Christ, that snowman character wouldn't even pass muster at Dreamworks.
