'Inside Out': Check out the new trailer for the Pixar movie

'Inside Out' features the voices of Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, and Mindy Kaling.

A trailer for Pixar’s upcoming movie “Inside Out” has arrived.

More than half of the clip is made up of scenes from previous Pixar films like “Toy Story,” “Up,” “WALL-E,” and “Finding Nemo.” “There are emotions we have all shared,” reads the trailer, naming feelings like “anger” and “disgust.” “Ever wonder where all those emotions really live?” 

“Inside” centers on Riley Anderson (Kaitlyn Dias), an 11-year-old whose family moves from the Midwest to San Francisco, according to Entertainment Weekly. As she tries to get used to her new home, Riley also attempts to comprehend her emotions. The movie’s writer and director, Pete Docter, who was also behind such Pixar movies as “Up” and “Monsters, Inc.,” said Riley “is not our main character, she is our setting,” according to Variety

Riley’s emotions are represented by Joy (Amy Poehler), Anger (Lewis Black), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), and Disgust (Mindy Kaling). The movie has Joy and Sadness exploring Riley’s mind, finding such areas as “Imagination Land, a giant amusement park full of everything Riley has ever daydreamed about,” Docter said, according to Variety.

Docter said the movie itself is based more on imagination than on fact.

“It’s not even trying to be scientific at all,” he said.

The director said he was inspired to make the movie by his daughter’s adolescence, saying that she became quieter when she turned 12.

 “There is something that is lost when you grow up,” Docter said.

Pixar’s movies “Up” and “Toy Story 3” were nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars and many others of their movies, such as “Monsters, Inc.,” “Finding Nemo,” and “The Incredibles,” were critically acclaimed. Monitor film critic Peter Rainer was less impressed with some of the studio’s more recent films, calling 2011’s “Cars 2” “marginally better than its predecessor” but writing that “cars just aren’t very interesting as anthropomorphic animation vehicles” and writing of 2012’s “Brave,” “[it’s] more conventional than that studio’s best work. It lacks the intricacy of imagination that made films like 'The Incredibles' and 'Finding Nemo' so exhilarating. On the other hand, it’s a whole lot better than the 'Cars' movies.” However, Rainer was more won over by 2013’s “Monsters University,” a sequel to “Monsters, Inc.,” calling the film “sportive and funny.” 

"Inside Out" will be released in June 2015.

What is the Monitor difference? Tackling the tough headlines – with humanity. Listening to sources – with respect. Seeing the story that others are missing by reporting what so often gets overlooked: the values that connect us. That’s Monitor reporting – news that changes how you see the world.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
