6. "Inside Head" (15)




This is an idea work that shines with Pixar's ``extraordinary setting,'' which I have written about before. This time, ``emotions'' will be the main characters, and the duo of Yorokobi and Kanashimi will carry out a great adventure inside a girl's head.


What excites viewers is the world view that is beautifully visualized from inside their heads. Dreams are created in the ``Command Center'' where five characters in charge of emotions such as ``Joy (Yorokobi)'', ``Sadness (Kanashimi)'', ``Anger (Ikari)'', ``Disgust (Mukumuka)'', and ``Fear (Bibiri)'' are stationed. The important personalities for girls are divided into islands, such as the ``Studio'', the ball-shaped ``Memories'', their ``Storage'' and ``Memory Trash Dump'', the ``Island of Friendship'', and the ``Island of Honesty''. The settings... With many imaginative depictions, he turned the inside of people's heads into an attraction.


This work also features a character named Bing Bong, who is an imaginary friend that the girl created when she was young, but who was almost forgotten as she grew up. She is in the toy position of ``Toy Story,'' and the sight of her suffering from the ``sadness of being forgotten'' while her love is one-sided will surely evoke a sense of nostalgia and pain in our hearts as well.


The works of director Pete Docter, who also worked on the original idea for ``Toy Story,'' have a common theme: ``reversal of ideas.'' ``Don't scare me, make me laugh'' in Monsters, Inc., ``Go on a journey while staying at home'' in ``Grandpa Carl's Flying House'', etc.


This work also carries the Arrival that ``as people grow, their emotions become more complex,'' and Yorokobi and Kanashimi work together to express subtle emotions such as ``I'm happy, but I'm also sad.'' By presenting a solution in which the girl becomes an adult, the viewer feels a sense of catharsis.


The process of creating characters that control each emotion and then having them "self-deny" and believe that the 100% pure emotions they embody is one-dimensional, is similar to the process of "trying to change your way of thinking". "structure. It's an exquisite piece of work that gives you a sense of the artist's style and studio quality.
