The fascinating thing about this film is that it works successfully – for the most part – on an emotional level, even though the acting is often weak. I think this is because everybody in the audience can relate to the joys and travails of growing up and experiencing emotion. It is not so much that the audience empathizes with the various characters as it is that the episodes in Riley’s life trigger memories in the audience. To emphasize one more time before we start the analysis: This is one of the most unusual screenplay constructions you will ever encounter. It is probably a good idea not to try to imitate it. Inside Out is a one-of-a-kind movie.

With this in mind, let’s go through the movie.

00:45–2:44 Riley is born. Joy materializes, presumably as a result of Riley’s birth, and immediately displays cognition. She examines her own body, takes in the environment around her, discovers the small control panel. NOTE: At 1:35, she utters, “Huh?” as if she is responding to a voice only she can hear. Presses the button. What is her objective when she pushes the button? To see what happens? When she first pushes it, she does not yet know that the control button has any relationship at all to Riley. The instant she presses the button, Riley gurgles and laughs, and Joy now knows that she has the power to control Riley’s behavior.
