Inside Out follows the inner workings of the mind of Riley, a young girl who adapts to her family's relocation as five personified emotions administer her thoughts and actions.[2]
Director Pete Docter conceived Inside Out in October 2009 after observing changes in his daughter's personality as she grew older.[a] Docter invited Ronnie del Carmen, who had previously worked as story supervisor on Finding Nemo (2003) and Up (2009), to come on as co-director, a role del Carmen accepted.[7][8] They sought inspiration for the film from their own personal histories and experiences,[9] including del Carmen's inspiration through his upbringing,[10] and consulted psychologists and neuroscientists in an effort to portray the mind with greater accuracy.[11][12] The film's principal characters were cast in August 2013.[13] Development lasted for five and a half years.[14][15] Inside Out debuted at the 68th Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2015,[16] and was released in the United States on June 19.[17]
