The New 'Inside Out' TV Spot Is Really Cool

A brilliant new TV Spot from Pixar's upcoming movie, Inside Out, just appeared on Disney/Pixar's YouTube channel! Take a look at the commercial below.


The TV Spot replays some scenes from the original trailers, but it also show some never-before-seen footage as well. The audience is shown Riley as she is celebrating along with the emotions in her head during a little league hockey game.


Then we see Riley sitting on a front porch with a friend as she takes a big gulp from her smoothie.


Suddenly the TV Spot cuts to the five emotions panicking inside Riley's headquarters as ice refrigerates the control center in her mind. "BRAIN FREEZE!"


And lastly, we are shown Riley and her parents in a family group hug.


Inside Out is directed by Pete Docter (director of Monsters, Inc. and Up) and produced by Jonas Rivera (producer of Up). The cast of the movie includes Amy Poehler (Joy), Bill Hader (Fear), Mindy Kaling (Disgust), Phyllis Smith (Sadness), and Lewis Black (Anger). The "major emotion picture" comes to theaters on June 19, 2015.

Angus MacLane's WALL-E is the Next LEGO Ideas Set!

LEGO Ideas is a website where fans can upload their suggestion for future LEGO sets. On the site, one can support other projects, give feedback, or create your own. Once a project gets 10,000 votes, it will go into the LEGO review stage. The review team will then evaluate and decide what the next LEGO Ideas set will be.


In October of 2013, Pixar animator and director Angus MacLane submitted a WALL-E model on LEGO Ideas. 16 months later, it was decided that WALL-E would become a LEGO Ideas set. Watch the announcement in the video below.


Not only is Angus MacLane the designer of an actual LEGO set, but he will also receive a percentage of the products sales! Check out images of MacLane's LEGO WALL-E below.

Angus MacLane describes himself on Twitter as a Cartoon director by day, LEGO builder by night. At Pixar, Angus has directed BURN-E, Small Fry, Toy Story of TERROR!, and presumably he is the co-director for Finding Dory. Outside of Pixar, he creates amazing LEGO MOC's (My Own Creation). From constructing his popular CubeDude series, and recently creating several clever Couch Potato builds, Angus MacLane definitely deserves the title "Master Builder."

Angus has one other submission on LEGO Ideas, a Toy Story of TERROR! LEGO Bunny. It's currently at just over 500 votes, so go to LEGO Ideas and support it now!
