Inside Out (Pixar)

yeah the trailor doesn't do it for me. Oh look - stereotypical american middle-class family. Smart arse - yet boring.
 
i thought it was sentimental rubbish, aimed much more at the parents than the kids, typically disney mawkish, the odd giggle but not enough. but then i thought the tear-jerking stuff in up was shit, too... kid2 enjoyed it well enough. tempted to force them both to the goonies 30th anniversary if it's still showing :D

i particularly resented the whole "nothing gets out of the hole of forgetting" thing, until oh no, everything except the imaginary friend gets out :rolleyes:

It was a great concept but it wasn't brilliantly executed. I generally enjoyed it but won't be rushing out to buy it on DVD or watch it again.
 
I shall download it at some point. I like Pixar movies. They are sentimental but I like that about them. It's good to have a good old sob at a movie.
 
andanotherthing :mad: did everyone get the same abysmal short before the film? there was a little kid up the back, when the titles for the short came up was like "we go now. we go now. we go now." i know what s/he meant :D
 
It took a year and a half to make the short. Much research went into finessing the glow and colour of the lava, but the main challenge, says Murphy, was to design volcano faces that looked like a result of natural evolution, while having them move and emote in recognisable ways.

from here what the actual fuck? :D
 
saw this last week and thought it was amazing, definately Pixar's best since The Incredibles. A bit of a tearjerker but mainly just a great character piece.
 
Saw it last night. I enjoyed it and water fell out of my face, BUT when are Pixar/Disney ever going to make a film featuring a one parent family? Films like Inside Out must be a punch in the gut for them, and they're not THAT unusual.

Finding Nemo was about a one parent family. I agree though, there should be more. I dunno about 'punch in the gut' though. I didn't go home and cry every time my friends talked about their mums and dads living together and films didn't upset me either and for some children not having the other parent around is a really positive thing as that parent was abusive towards them.

Given how typical it now is for children to have families that are not made up from the 'traditional' nuclear family, I think it's really unhelpful to use terms that suggest not living in a nuclear family is something negative.
 
Finding Nemo doesn't really count for what I had in my mind. The family would have been a two parent family until the mother is killed. And dad ends up with another fish at the end anyway.
 
Films like Inside Out can be a punch in the gut. Might not have been for you, but after talking to my sister about how the world seems to hate single parents and I certainly felt it by proxy while watching the film.

Lots of kids end up as one parent families because another parent dies. How are they less valid as one parent families? :confused:

And I agree that there is a lot of negative shite around single parent families. I think we are using the term punch in the gut to mean different things but ultimately agree on more types of family being represented in films.

I didn't say they weren't valid, just not what I had in my mind. Would like to see a film where the reason for one parerentedness is not an issue. It just is.

I didn't and it's not something that crossed my mind watching it.

TBH, I'd rather there was a traditional two parent family than something like the Iron Giant where the single mum ends up with the mad professor type. Speaking as a 'single parent family ©' that trope pisses me off an awful lot more

Basically, if you start the film as a single parent family, you're not allowed to end the film as one.
