Why couldn't the bean people shot her core memories up that tube like they did the jingle memory. Also lame complaint as it is entirely possible but I would've preferred her to have the same colour eyes as her parents. Edit: Anger was totally Super Meat Boy in a suit.

KirbyKhan posted:I just feel like the visuals and feel didnt match up to Pixar's previous films. Especially with the concept. Its kind of an unfair comparison, though. Indoor settings are probably always going to be outshone by the scope and detail of the natural world, and that's true even within the same film; look at the castle interior in Brave vs. the forest, or the dentist office vs. the ocean in Nemo, WALL-E's hovel vs. the trash piles and the human's ship vs. space. So really the films to compare Inside Out's visuals to would be the other indoor ones, especially Ratatouille and Monsters Inc. which are also workplaces emphasizing function over style. That being said, I agree that Inside Out was visually a little underwhelming. I liked the design but the world felt kind of small for the function it was supposed to serve. Whereas Monsters gave the impression of a big sprawling factory, and Ratatouille showed occasional glimpses of a huge city before zooming back in on the little corner where the story was, Inside seemed to sell the brain a little short in favor of making sure the outside world was fleshed out enough. I feel like they went through a checklist of features they wanted to hit outside the control room, but none of it felt bigger or more established than what we actually saw on screen.

She could have sent the core memories back via the pneumatic tubes, but that would require trusting that fear, disgust, and anger wouldn't screw up (which considering how they ran Riley solo, that isn't an unfair assumption). So instead she operated under the adage "if you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself." Plus, when she did use the pneumatic tubes she also rode in it with the core memories. Again, to make sure the others wouldn't screw up her mission.

Looking it up, apparently it's possible for two brown-eyed people to have a blue-eyed child, but since we never see Riley's mom pregnant and there's no siblings, it's not an unreasonable bit of head-canon.

My sister is dark skin/brown eyes and her husband's dark skin/black hair. Their son's blonde hair/blue eyes due to both grandmothers. There was a 25% chance of him hitting that color combo, but damned if he didn't. And while I understand it's both possible and preferable from a design standpoint as it adds vibrancy, I'm always a little disappointed so few animated characters have brown eyes. Might have something to do with me having them.  I swear to god, a blonde hair/brown eyes combo is the hardest drat thing to find.

I found this a really disappointing movie, where a lot of ideas just didn't feel well-realized. Take the memory hole for example. From the moment we're introduced to the memory hole, given that the plot involves Riley losing pieces of herself, it's inevitable that the characters are going to end up going down there one way or another. This builds a sense of anticipation - what does it look like? How does it work? When the story arrives there, the memory hole just feels tepid. It roughly evokes a mix of an underworld and a wasteland - endless grey as unpowered (?) memories turn to dust. I'm not sure exactly what's at fault, but it just never seems very foreboding, and didn't evoke much emotion from me. Maybe it's because it was lacking in detail, so the endless grey was just, well, endless grey. Maybe it's because Joy never stopped glowing, so the visual was of her overpowering the grey rather than the grey posing any threat. Then there's how quickly the plot moves through the memory hole. Joy arrives, finds the blue core memory that is the only memory still fully working, examines the core memory about the hockey team, finds Bing Bong, and immediately realizes the solution. The memory hole itself doesn't seem to play much of a role here. Sure Bing Bong slowly fades, but the space itself never seems to do much more than be any old piece of geography (I guess this comes back to the imagery failing). The plot events in the memory hole make me wonder if there was originally a different plan. Between the sad core memory being the only functioning memory found in the pit and sadness having read the manuals, I could see it being the case that at some point there was an idea that Sadness was the only one that could fully function in the memory hole, and she'd lead them out. This could make sense thematically with sadness being a necessary feature of the self by way of being the only emotion that can fully access the past or something like that. This would improve the end of the movie, where we would have better reasons (both plot and thematic) for Sadness to be able to reactivate the controls than just "Joy learned that it's not just all about her." Inside Out just lacks imagination, which is an ironic flaw. It has that going for it, at least.

So the first few pages have people talking about the mixed genders of Riley's emotions compared to her homogenous parents' and what that means for Riley. But immediately before the discussion there's a quote by the director explaining the reason: to make the quick cuts between different emotion groups without it being confusing. Also works as a silly visual gag. All the over analysis would make more sense if it happened before the answer was posted. I don't visit often, does this happen with every film in this forum? The lava short was funny, almost tragic and incredibly painful whenever they used the word lava. Enjoyed. Inside out is fantastic, the characters, the animation, the humour. Highly recommending to friends at the moment. A random detail I noticed was with the mixed core memories at the end. A purple/green one which looked like Riley reading a book. Must've been a hell of a book.

This is why my memory sphere for Something Awful is pure green. Anyways, I saw the movie and liked it. Even though I knew it would happen, I still cried when Bing Bong died. Also, I have decided that something being adorable is sadness, because you look at a tiny kitten and are all, "Oh God, that thing is so small, there's no way it could survive on its own!" And that's why it makes sense that Sadness was the most adorable of the emotions.

BJPaskoff posted:I just realized this. Why are Riley's memories from a third person point of view? Most older memories are reconstructions and most people in real life have memories from a third-person POV. I can't speak for you but it's relatively uncommon to have most of your memories be from a first-person view.
