New Trailer for 'Inside Out' and Pete Docter Q&A!

The new trailer for Pixar's Inside Out has arrived!

From the Disney UK YouTube Channel

In the trailer the audience is introduced to the headquarters of not only Riley but her parents as well. We get an inside look at mom and see the five female emotions wearing red glasses and attempting to get support from her husband. Meanwhile, in Dad's headquarters, the mustachioed male emotions would rather think about a sports game. Hilarity ensues.

"Sir, reporting high levels of sass!"

Here's the official synopsis for Inside Out: 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, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. 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 voice cast includes Amy Poehler (Joy), Bill Hader (Fear), Lewis Black (Anger), Mindy Kaling (Disgust), Phyllis Smith (Sadness), Kaitlyn Dias (Riley), Diane Lane (Riley's mom), and Kyle MacLachlan (Riley's dad).

Pete Docter, the director of Inside Out, did a live chat on Twitter from @PixarInsideOut's account. Here are some of the highlights from the Q&A session:

@iTunesTrailers: 'Inside Out' is all about emotions personified. Which emotion did you have the most fun bringing to life? 

‏

Pete Docter: Anger. Wait, what does that say about me? Actually it's likely because Lewis Black was so great for the role.

@iTunesTrailers: How did you come up with the main character Riley, and all the emotions in her head? 

Pete Docter: We did lots of research & talked to psychologists to find what emotions science has identified. (Actually there are more than 5, but we wanted to keep it simple for the film). For Riley we looked at our daughters & their friends. People think we make this stuff up. Most is real life!

@iTunesTrailers: Joy is Riley’s main emotion. Which emotion is the most significant in your mind?

Pete Docter: It’s impossible to pick one — each is important at different times. We don’t choose emotions, they choose us. But joy seems the most important to me - also the least logical. It's the hardest to define but basically joy is the reason we take risks and try new things.

@iTunesTrailers: What is your biggest challenge when directing an animated film?

Pete Docter: For this one, this world is completely new and made up — It’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. To go in the mind, we couldn't look to toy stores or universities or Scotland to make sure we got it right.

@UncleScout86: Matching voices to characters must be difficult but these characters are embodiments of emotion. Was this fun casting process?

Pete Docter: All of our actors are so perfect. We looked for actors that embodied each character and we found them!

@SebaPixar: Who will be the protagonist.  Joy or Riley?

Pete Docter: Joy is our lead.  But the film has 2 stories that interrelate, and each affects the other (another challenge).

@MicheleDNC: How did you come up with the design for the emotions physical characters?

Pete Docter: Each is based on a shape. Sadness: teardrop. Joy: star. Fear: raw nerve. Anger: fire brick. Disgust: broccoli. I actually love broccoli, by the way.

@FutureMrsKawacz  Being a big Walt Disney World fan, was any part of this movie inspired by Cranium Command?

Pete Docter: Our film takes place in the mind, not the brain (no body functions). Fun fact: I animated on Cranium Command! You can see my head in the preshow. Sad fact: Cranium Command is now closed.

@ArtisticTeaBag: What's your favorite character's design in 'Inside Out'?

Pete Docter: There are some awesome characters in Subconscious and Dream Production you haven't seen yet... just wait!

@bets_johnson: Did you base a lot of the story of this movie on your personal experiences moving from Minnesota to California?

Pete Docter: More growing up generally. In the film, moving is a metaphor for growing up.

@ColetonBryan: What is your favorite part about working in animation?

Pete Docter: Nothing you see on screen is real, yet (when done well) people laugh and cry in response. Animation is amazing!

@DrewTailored: Was it a conscious decision, after making a movie as far out as 'Up', to make something as internal as 'Inside Out'?

Pete Docter: It was more about finding another new place that people have never been before. It was amazing to travel to South America, but learning about the human mind is even more incredible. Here we got to take people somewhere that everyone has been before, but no one has ever actually seen.

@Alexlikesfun: After the film releases, are you hoping that this will benefit Kids and Adults to understand others emotions better?

Pete Docter: Being aware of how people think and interact gives you a deeper understanding of life.
