As we age, our emotions become more complex and expansive. At the end of “Inside Out” we see the once mono-colored memory orbs roll into Riley’s control center with mixtures of colors – Sadness & Joy, Anger & Disgust, and so on!Ĥ. Emotions tend to be grey rather than black and white, allowing us for example to be happy that school is ending for summer vacation but also giving us a twinge of sadness that it’s over and we won’t see our friends for months. This mixture of emotion is very real – think of every day examples like “bitter sweet” or the “I hate you, but I love you” perimeters surrounding just about every angst filled pre-teen relationship. Sadness touches a happy memory of Riley’s, turning it blue “Inside Out” uses nostalgia as a clear example of how emotions can often be combined rather than singular – again think back to Riley reminiscing on the sadness of her loss but the love she felt from her family. On that note – emotions aren’t always singular but can often be combined. We then learn that only with the acceptance of Sadness can we truly process our emotions and grow.ģ.
Though she originally is asked to stay confined and holed up, by the end of the film Joy is actually passing Sadness memories to hold and change. Riley didn’t need to be forced or told to be happy – she actually just needed to be allowed to be sad.
Only by remembering the sadness she felt when she lost a hockey game can Riley also reminisce on the love and support she received from her family and friends afterwards. Our intentions may be good, but “Inside Out” actually emphasizes the importance of Sadness. In Western culture we spend a great deal of time and energy in the pursuit of happiness and often encourage those around us to be happy rather than to “wallow” in sadness. The entire plot of “Inside Out” orbits around the juxtaposition of Joy and Sadness, with Joy constantly trying to suppress Sadness. At one point in the film Joy even orders Sadness to stay within a hand drawn circle on the floor of the control room (“don’t touch ANYTHING!”). As we were walking through the parking lot, little kids were already starting to point and squeal from across the street.Joy holds Riley’s core memories, not allowing Sadness to touch them
#Who made inside out the movie trial#
I couldn’t believe the reaction!! We wore these costumes out on a trial run to our downtown Halloween festival and people were going CRAZY. I cut out the star burst pieces from blue sequin fabric and glued them on with Aleene’s Tacky Glue. My dress was purchased at a thrift store. Red tie, white shirt, brown pants, brown shoes. The rest of his costume was easy and basically what he would wear to work on any given day. Overall not a great night, but the end result (for me at least) was worth it! I learned way too late that Aleene’s Tacky Glue is a MUCH better (and less blistery) way to go when gluing the felt to the foam. As well as angry screeches from me from burning my hands and fingers. My husband was watching a frustrating football game while I was working on this, so there were angry yells from him after poor plays. While I was making the costume, the hot gluing SUCKED.
The eyes came from a photo of the “Anger” character, printed on card stock, cut out, and glued on with tacky fabric glue. Then I cut out two rows of foam teeth, drew demarcation lines between the teeth with a Sharpie, and glued them on with tacky fabric glue. Then I hot glued red felt to the foam frame, making sure to wrap the felt so it covered the inside of the rounded rectangle mouth to give him lips.Īfter the felt, I glued two layers of black cheesecloth to the inside of the mouth so he could look through it. Once the foam frame was together, I cut out a rounded rectangle for the mouth. I cut another piece of foam to be shaped like a house (square on one end, triangular on the other end) and glued it to the inside of the top of the cylinder so it had a lid (the triangular side served as the shape for the eyebrows). The “Anger” head was made with 2 inch craft foam, rolled into a cylinder, glued together with hot glue. I’ve definitely never been so proud of a costume (or any craft I’ve done before!). After talking to the women who had made theirs, I knew I could replicate and possibly out-do what they’d done. I also had seen a similar costume at a party last year. So making Inside Out costumes seemed like a no-brainer. I’m a pretty happy, peppy person, and my husband LOVES Lewis Black (the voice of “Anger” from the movie). Inside Out is one of our favorite movies (we are both big Disney fans and little kids at heart).
