Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Pixar for two days and watch the first 56 minutes of Inside Out. It’s been a lot to process, but I’ve condensed the experience into a post you can read here:
Behind-the-Scenes First Look at Inside Out, INSIDE Pixar Headquarters!
It was a great experience, and I had the chance to chat with Pete Docter, Jonas Rivera, Tony Fucile, and many others. I also saw a screening for the new short, LAVA, which will be paired with Inside Out.
My early thoughts on the movie is that it is a huge step forward for Pixar in terms of narrative. Docter and Rivera have crafted something really special with Inside Out, and I have little doubt it’s going to be a huge success for the studio. The world they’ve created for this movie is more rich, detailed, and inventive than anything the studio has put out so far. I felt like I was stepping into a world built by George R.R. Martin, the author of A Game of Thrones.
It’s funny. It’s emotional. And it’s fun. I can’t wait to see the whole thing. Once the movie comes out, and you all have a chance to see it, we can talk about how it fits into the Pixar Theory and all of that. But for now, I just want to bask in the fact that Pixar is coming out with another winner.
Lava sounds like the legend of Popo and Itza. The Volcanos in Central Mexico. http://www.mexonline.com/history-popo.htm
Jim Murphy pulled inspiration from a lot of different sources. But the original idea came from his trips to Hawaii as a child and when he went there on his honeymoon. The passion he has for that culture is pretty transparent.
That’s interesting. The story of those two volcanos is a great love story. When I read it was a love story between two volcanos that’s the first thing that came to mind. I figured it was from the Mexican Legend. I wonder if he knew about that.
I don’t think any of Inside Out’s competition would stand a chance when it comes out, not even Jurassic World. Now I am more looking forward to see Inside Out instead of Jurassic World.
PS Any Pixar Theory related stuff you saw in there?
For sure, and there’s great easter eggs in the movie, too. I might share some in a later article.
Come now, I’m sure both will be very successful. I’m gonna be watching both over the summer and I can not wait for how this fits in the Pixar Theory.
will inside out be on the pixar theory?
Yes. You’ll have to wait until the movie comes out, however, to know just how.
Your insights make me even more excited about Inside Out. The comparison to George R.R. Martins world building is intriguing. Pixars ability to blend humor emotion and fun is unparalleled. Looking forward to the movie.
