'Inside Out' has the Highest Opening Weekend for an Original Movie

Although Inside Out came in number two for the box office weekend totals, It made the large sum of $91 Million, which is the highest grossing opening weekend for a Pixar movie with the exception of Toy Story 3 ($110.3M).  On it's opening night (June 19) it made $34M, and surpassed  the monster hit movie Jurassic World  which grossed just over $29M. Although it couldn't beat Jurassic World's $102M weekend cash-in, Inside Out now has the record for the largest opening weekend of an original, non-sequel movie ever, beating James Cameron's Avatar ($77M).

Inside Out has also received an overwhelmingly positive response from critics and audiences alike. It has a sky high score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, and the critics consensus praises the film saying:

Inventive, gorgeously animated, and powerfully moving, Inside Out is another outstanding addition to the Pixar library of modern animated classics.

Watch the Final Trailer for 'Inside Out'

The final trailer for Pixar's Inside Out has just been released! The trailer mostly consists of footage of the five emotions from previous trailers and TV Spots, with the exception of the introduction of Riley's imaginary friend, a cotton candy elephant named Bing Bong (voiced by Richard Kind).

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.

With stellar reviews from the Cannes Film Festival and a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes,  Inside Out has been hailed numerous times as Pixar's most inventive film ever. The movie's release is less than a month away (June 19), and it is directed by Pixar veteran Pete Docter (director of Monsters, Inc. and Up), co-directed by Ronnie Del Carmen (director of Dug's Special Mission), and produced by Jonas Rivera (producer of Up).

New 'Inside Out' Poster and Mindy Kaling Interview

Earlier this week, People Magazine revealed the first official poster for Inside Out on Snapchat. The colorful image features all the five emotions (Joy, Fear, Anger, Sadness, and Disgust) reflecting their given name.

People Magazine also released an interview with Mindy Kaling who is the voice of Disgust in the film.

People Magazine: "Why were you excited to be a part of this movie?"

Mindy Kaling: "It’s a Pixar movie!"

PM: "If you didn't play Disgust, which emotion would you want to play?"

MK: "I think I could’ve nailed Outrage."

PM: "Which of the voices in your head is the loudest? Which are you encouraging to speak up more?"

MK: "These days I have been feeling so grateful for what I get to work on. Between Inside Out, The Mindy Project and writing my book, I’m so happy. I know actors who are miserable no matter what they are doing and complain constantly about their jobs, and I just don’t identify with that at all. These are such great jobs to have, and it doesn’t feel like hard work when the material is so good."

PM: "Any emotion you think was left out of this movie?"

MK: "Nope, I think the emotions assembled are a great mix and complement each other really well."

The "major emotion picture" is in theaters on June 19.

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 five emotions that live in Riley's Headquarters

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.

The Voices Behind Riley and Her Parents in 'Inside Out' & New Details!

Pixar's upcoming feature film, Inside Out, sounds like it could be one of Pixar's most creative movies ever (and Pixar and creativity are practically synonyms). The movie takes place inside an eleven-year-old girl's mind, and she is guided by five emotions: Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). 

"Come on, group hug! You to Anger!"

USA Today announced that the next trailer for Inside Out will be released tomorrow (Dec. 10) and also revealed the voices of Riley (the eleven-year-old girl) and her parents. Riley is played by Kaitlyn Dias, and the parents are voiced by Diane Lane (Riley's mom) and Kyle MacLachlan (Riley's dad). Director Pete Docter proclaimed that the parents play a just as an important role in the film as Riley does.

"I started out doing a film about growing up, but it turned out it's a film about me watching my kids grow up. These parents are realizing that their kid is changing. That's difficult. But it is a part of life. They are pivotal parts, knowing how joyful this kid Riley used to be and the young woman she's changing into."

 Not only do we get to go inside Riley's mind (her headquarters) in Inside Out, but we get to see inside the minds of her parents as well! The Dad's headquarters a very much like a Norad missile defense site and all the emotions have mustaches. In Mom's headquarters, the emotions wear red glasses who engage in civil discussions like in ABC's show The View. 

"There's our world which we're conscientious of and looking at," says Pete Docter. "So we're driving, eating dinner, whatever. And inside our head there's this whole rich internal dialogue and world no one else knows about. This film gets you inside each character's heads. We're intercutting to show what's going on inside each of their heads behind the scenes. What seems like a simple family dinner is actually fraught with all sorts of emotional angst and drama."

New 'Inside Out' Posters!

Two new posters have been revealed for Pixar's next feature-length movie, Inside Out.

As you can see above, the posters are filled with the five main emotions from the movie. Director Pete Docter describes the characters as their version of the seven dwarfs. "They're really pushed caricatures and have strong personalities." Here's an excerpt from Ed Catmull's book Creativity Inc. on Pete Docter's description of the characters:

"We have our main character, an emotion called Joy (Amy Poehler), who is effervescent. She literally glows when she's excited. Then we have Fear (Bill Hader). He thinks of himself as confident and suave, but he's a little raw nerve and tends to freak out. The other characters are Anger (Lewis Black), Sadness (Phyllis Smith)--her shape is inspired by teardrops--and Disgust (Mindy Kaling), who basically turns up her nose at everything. And all these guys work at what we call Headquarters."

BREAKING: 'Toy Story 4' Will Be Released In 2017

The Toy Story trilogy is the most beloved movie series on the planet. So when the third one ended so perfectly when Andy gave his toy collection to Bonnie, Pixar had decided that the Toy Story films were complete, right? Nope.

"So long, partner."

Toy Story 4 is indeed happening and it is set to be released on June 16, 2017. John Lasseter who directed the first two Toy Story movies will return and direct the fourth film. Here's Mr. Lasseter's comments on the fourth installment in the Toy Story series: “We love these characters so much; they are like family to us. We don’t want to do anything with them unless it lives up to or surpasses what’s gone before. Toy Story 3 ended Woody and Buzz’s story with Andy so perfectly that for a long time, we never even talked about doing another Toy Story movie. But when Andrew, Pete, Lee and I came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it. It was so exciting to me, I knew we had to make this movie—and I wanted to direct it myself.” John Lasseter is referring to Andrew Stanton (director of Finding Nemo and WALL-E), Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc. and Up), and Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 3). Writing duo Rashida Jones and Will McCormack are also working on Toy Story 4, and it will be produced by longtime Pixarian Galyn Susman (producer of Toy Story of TERROR!).

Image Source: De todo un poco.

There's a lot of skepticism whether this film is really needed, and that it is just being made for the money. After all, Disney's CEO Bob Iger did announce the news the same day that Disney reports their record fiscal year results. John Lasseter denies naysayers and had this to say: "A lot of people in the industry view us doing sequels as being for the business of it, but for us it's pure passion. We only make sequels when we have a story that's as good as or better than the original. We don't just, because of the success of a film, automatically say we're going to do a sequel and then figure out what we're going to do." He also told The LA Times that 'Toy Story 4' will be a love story and will pick up where 'Toy Story 3' left off, when Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the rest of the series' toy chest of characters were handed down to a little girl named Bonnie. 

Toy Story 4 will be a love story?

The next Toy Story film to be released is a 22-minute holiday television special. It is called Toy Story That Time Forgot and it will air this December 2nd on ABC. The synopsis for the short film is: During a post-Christmas play date, the Toy Story gang find themselves in uncharted territory when the coolest set of action figures ever turn out to be dangerously delusional. It's all up to Trixie, the triceratops, if the gang hopes to return to Bonnie's room in this “Toy Story That Time Forgot.”

Pixar fans were treated to a Sneak Peek of Inside Out over a month ago, but we still haven't seen a teaser trailer for the movie yet. The teaser reportedly will come very soon; according to @icandyapple, the film's teaser will be online tomorrow (October 2nd) at 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time.

Here's a review of the film's synopsis: 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.

A Peek at 'Inside Out'

Rejoice, Pixar fans! Disney Movies Anywhere has released a behind-the scenes look at Pixar's next feature film, Inside Out (you need an account to see it). At the beginning of this season DMA launched the "Pixar Summer Movies To Go!" event, in which each week a new Pixar film is highlighted along with movie discounts, bonus features, and fun facts about each movie. Monsters University marks the end of this event, and in the MU exclusive video director Pete Docter and producer Jonas Rivera show us some of the characters and animation tests of Inside Out.

The emotions roasting marshmallows over Anger's head.

To start things off, Pete Docter said the idea behind Inside Out was "What can animation do that we haven't tried yet?" Emotions living inside someone's head is definitely a new venture for an animated film. The picture below is the first time we've seen a completely rendered image of Riley, the 11 year-old girl who has the five emotions living in her "headquarters." In the clip we get to see Riley give us her happy smile.

Some new character poses for the emotions were showcased:

Anger (Voiced by Lewis Black).

Fear (Voiced by Bill Hader).

Sadness (Voiced by Phyllis Smith).

Disgust (Voiced  by Mindy Kaling).

Joy (Voiced by Amy Poehler).

Pete Docter described the emotions as their version of the seven dwarfs. "They're really pushed caricatures and have strong personalities." The artists referred to old Hollywood cartoons for the squash and stretch principle of animation, a technique they aimed for when animating the characters from Inside Out.

Joy is throwing a marshmallow at Anger.

In closing, Pete Docter said that they wanted to show us the entire movie right now, but Jonas declared that they only had time to show the viewers one little shot, and that we would have to wait until next year to see the whole film.

"Okay, back to work!"

Inside Out hits theaters on June 19th, 2015.
