A new phase of life, new feelings

Two years after moving to San Francisco, 13-year-old Riley faces the challenge of everyday high school life. Her emotions now monitor a new level of her mind, “self-consciousness.” While Joy tries to fill Riley's self-consciousness with positive memories, a false alarm and the arrival of new feelings throw the emotions into disarray.

At field hockey camp, where Riley is trying to qualify for her school team, the chaos leads to conflict between the emotions, straining Riley's friendships as well as her performance. After the emotions run into trouble due to the new feelings, a race begins to reclaim Riley's “sense of self” and help her stay true to herself.

Once again, Pixar has nailed the very core of Inside Out perfectly showcasing the messiness and ugliness of being a teenager. - Maria Lattlia (rottentomatoes)

Meet the little voices inside your head.

A small child’s mind and emotions are quite simple: joy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust – that’s basically it. One emotion at a time. But as we grow up, this concept becomes more complex.

During Riley’s childhood years, Joy has always been the prevailing emotion. She was there, when Riley’s core memories were created, which eventually formed her personality. Joy has always been in charge.

But now things change. When Riley’s family moves from Minnesota to San Francisco, her emotions run riot. She has to leave her friends behind, her hockey team, her classmates … Her personality is shaken in its foundations. Sadness stirs up the core memories and looses them. So Joy and Sadness need to brave the labyrinth of long-term memory in order to save Riley's core memories.

While they try to make their way back – a difficult endeavor – the other emotions, Disgust, Anger, and Fear, do their best to steer Riley through her first days in the new city.

“Inside Out” converts complex concepts – like memory, subconcious, dreams and imagination – into a visual game, a psychology lesson for both children and adults. (Cinemania)
