The Minds Behind Inside Out

I’ve shared many different amazing sessions I had while at the Pixar Animation Studios on my most recent Disney press trip. One of the last sessions is when I met with the Inside Out Director Pete Docter & Producer Jonas Rivera. These two creative guys are The Minds Behind Inside Out. Although we did get to view the new Pixar film, we did not get to see the last half hour. The director and producer said they are very proud of the last half hour and look forward to us seeing it with our families in the theater. I can’t wait!

The producer, Pete Docter, grew up in Minnesota where you will find yourself in the first part of the film. Most of the films they have done at Pixar have been kind of anytown, USA. They really made an effort to make this very specific. They found a very specific town and street location in Minnesota but changed the names in the film. Everything you will see in the real world of the film is based on real life, real places and real things. The real world in the film later moves on to San Francisco. Production Designer, Ralph Eggleston, suggested they make it your memory of San Francisco just like you had visited. (more…)
