Inside Out

Gijinkas are inevitable if cliched, but AU's of other works where they have this-movie-esque emotions are where the REAL fanfic potential stands.

Carl is sadness, Russell & Dug are Joy and Kevin is Fear.

Merida is Joy and Anger taking turns pushing each other off the helm, with Disgust taking advantage of each chance she has to grab it while the other two are fighting. Everyone keeps ignoring Fear until it's too late.

Woody has Joy and Disgust as co-heads.

I don't know any good pixar movies that haven't been mentioned already and I have watched. What about fictional characters in general?

Hmmm. Well, Steven Universe probably has Joy as his main emotion. Amethyst would have Joy and...Anger? as her main emotions. Pearl has Sadness and Disgust as her main emotions. And Garnet has Joy as her main emotion, though Anger probably isn't far behind.

I covered Phineas & Ferb and Gravity Falls earlier in the thread.

Well there's WALL-E, but that's a whole different bag. Although if this did work for robots, he'd be joy, and EVE would be anger and joy on the occasions when she's not being, y'know, robotic.

Basically everyone in Ratatouille is disgust and/or anger, except Linguini who is joy and fear, and Gusteau who is joy. Remy's probably a rare example of someone whose lead emotion is disgust.

Most of Remy's actions, though, are piques of culinary passion for creating wondrous meals. Listen to him describe the blending of flavors, and it's clear Remy has an artist's mind. Thus, his prime motivator is a passion, which I'd file as a sub-emotion of Joy. However, Disgust is a close second-in-command, powering Remy's distaste for scrounging substandard fare. In fact, Fear would be a close Second Officer, since he's tiny and most other creatures would either eat him or squish him.

I disagree. One of the main conflicts of the film was Remy showing that his father's fear of the human world was a little too much, and that humans and rats could coexist in peace.

He acts with fear when he needs to. It's a practical emotion that he needs to use a lot. But it's far from his driving emotion, and he almost never feels it if it's not warranted (unlike, for example, Marlin, whose entire storyline is basically about fear being in control).

I say disgust because of the limitations of the five emotions. Like I said, we have very little in the way of variety for the "positive" emotions. A lot of the characters in that movie are extremely prideful, but it's hard to get the nuances of things like "pride" or "passion" or "love" without it just devolving into "joy" because that's the only good-feeling emotion we have. "Lots of joy" doesn't convey the wide variety of positive feelings we have.

In other words, if we had more nuanced positive emotions, I'd pick one of those to represent Remy. But I guess he gets pretty joyous when he's in a kitchen, so yeah, that works, too.

EDIT: Actually, thinking of it, there are a lot of times in the movie when he completely disregards fear for other things. For example, when he was first in the kitchen he smells a really horrific soup and despite the fact that sticking around longer could get him killed, he stays anyway to fix it. If he was a fearful character at all he wouldn't have ever done that. I'd actually say fear is bottom of the list for him.

No, all the other "positive" emotions boil down to Joy acting in conjunction with one of the others or operating a personality island.

Ya' know, it just occurred to me that this whole movie could still be a fantastic experience if everything was Gender Flipped. In ways such as:

Riley is a guy voiced by someone like the kid who played Gray

Steve Carrell or Ed Helms had voiced a male Joy

The guy behind Ron Swanson had voiced Disgust

Sofia Vergara had voiced a female Anger

Jenna Fischer had voiced a female Fear

And Will Ferrell (or the guy who plays Cam in Modern Family) voiced a male Sadness

And Tina Fey or Amy Poehler as a gender-flipped Bing Bong

You watch a lot of sitcoms, don't you?

Just saw the movie.

Loved it. Ten stars. Please make a sequel.

I'm not sure if I would want a sequel, but I'd love for them to go the route of Toy Story and make shorts about adventures after the events of the movie.

The only really good Pixar movie that I wouldn't want to see a sequel to is Finding Nemo. So, of course, Pixar decides to get to work on its sequel right away...

Guess I'll just... sit here... and wait for Incredibles 2. I'm sure Pixar will get around to it eventually. Just as soon as they're done with Toy Story 4. *sigh*

Anyways, I think Inside Out would lend itself really well to a sequel. All they'd have to do is make Riley a teenager, add some new problem into her life, and then explore the way a teenager would react to it.

And then maybe Inside Out 3 could be about adult-Riley to cap off the trilogy.

...And then it'll get mega popular and Pixar will make Inside Out 4 and 5 and Cars 3 while I'm still sitting here waiting for Incredibles 2.

Isn't Incredibles 2 scheduled for next year?

I don't know if it's coming out next year or not, but it is coming out eventually.

Finding Dory is coming out in 2016.

According to IM Db, it's rumored to come out next year.

Also according to IM Db we have absolutely no other information about it except that Brad Bird has been working on a script since April last year. So I'm thinking it's probably not coming out next year.

I read that Incredibles 2 is planned for 2019.

.. .ummmm.... they ARE. Making. ... Incredibles 2.........

Meh. I can forgive Pixar for milking cash-cow franchises for as much as they are worth as long as they keep spending that money on making great movies too.

I'd also want to see a The Incredibles 2, when it comes out (assuming it doesn't fall into Development Hell). The same goes to Inside Out shorts. However, I'm not sure I'd want an Inside Out sequel. I mean, it could always be good, but that doesn't mean it'll be.

After Tomorrowland tanked, I'm sure Brad Bird will want to redeem himself with Incredibles 2 as soon as he can.

And I don't think Disney will be wary of him over Tomorrowland. Remember, his biggest claim to fame before Incredibles was The Iron Giant, which while very good failed rather badly at the box office.
