So, guess what this big lil girl went and watched today??!!
YUP Inside out!
Oh it was fantastic!
Riley, and her parents
The story of a young girl, Riley, perfectly happy in her life, who, alongside her family, gets uprooted, and it’s a true exploration of the emotions one at such a vulnerable age, i.e. pre puberty, alongside others of all age groups, may go through.
Joy
We meet Joy, the happy emotion in Riley’s life. She brings happiness and wants to make sure that her little charge is always bursting with joy, and that nothing makes her sad… but through the film, she realises herself that happiness is not the only emotion that can cause life to go smoothly.
Sadness
Then you get little blue Sadness, who seems to tinge everything she touches with the blues, and her actions appear to cause some real chaos in Riley’s life, but they all realise at the end that sometimes a little sadness, can help things along, and make a bond stronger.
Anger
Anger, now he’s a funny one! Lil Man’s favourite character, and boy, when he blows his top, well, I just hope that Lil Man doesn’t think it would be a great idea to copy him! This character’s part in the movie shows that we all have that anger inside us, and sometimes those sour of the moment, heated decisions we make, are not always the best, though they do seem like it at the time!
Disgust
Now we come to my Lil Princess’s favourite emotion…. Disgust! A sassy lil green ball of attitude, kinda like Lil Princess, though she isn’t really green! She shows how you build up this emotion of what is acceptable, whether it is food, or even to do with how you react to others, and that it is there in us all.
Fear
Aw now Fear was kinda cute! And we all have fear inside of us. It’s inherent. You need to have a little fear inside you, to stop you doing dangerous things as a child, and if cultivated correctly, that fear will stop you being irresponsible as you get older!
Go! Watch it!!!
I don’t want to give too much away, but it’s safe to say that Inside Out is a film that both children and adults would like, and be able to relate to. It shows the interconnection of feelings, and how sometimes situations can actually make you feel that you have misplaced your emotions, almost, and that it’s often the case that there is a cycle of other emotions you have to go through, to recover the status quo in your mind.
Lava!
And if nothing else, you need to go see it to see the Pixar short ‘Lava’ at the beginning! Such a cute story/song of a lonely volcano looking for love! It was beautiful!
Well, I hope I may have influenced you to watch the move, seriously, I highly recommend it!
I believe the next one on our list will be Pixels!
But I Smile Anyway...
