Now, here's something interesting and new from Pixar: coming from Pete Docter, who won an Oscar for his movie UP, INSIDE OUT will have a story that takes place inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl, and emotions such as anger, sadness, disgust and joy are the main characters. The characters are presented through an energy made up of particles that actually move representing what emotions could actually look like. Slated for 2015 the film will simultaneously show what is happening to the girl and what is happening inside her mind.
