Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley's mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school. Written by Pixar
Vanity Faire said this was "the best idea Pixar ever had"...
I liked it better TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO when it was a sitcom called "Herman's Head".
This ran on the FOX network 1991-94, and included "Simpsons" voice actors Yeardley Smith and Hank Azaria, and starred William Ragsdale. Sorry if this is dull but I have to write "ten lines of text" to qualify as having an opinion on IMDb. I didn't really see anything in "Inside Out" that was not previously explored in "Herman's Head", perhaps it is just because I was a fan of the earlier show that this blatant rip off was so disappointing to me.
