‘Inside Out’ director Pete Docter, producer Jonas Rivera and co-director Ronnie Del Carmen will attend the Cannes premiere, along with members of the all-star English-language voice cast.
Pixar’s Inside Out not only ventures inside the mind -- it’s heading to the 2015 Cannes Film Festival for its world premiere.
Academy Award winner Pete Docter, who helmed Pixar’s Up (the first animated feature ever to be the Festival’s Opening Ceremony film), directs Inside Out, an original new movie from Pixar Animation Studios. Docter, producer Jonas Rivera (Up), and co-director Ronnie Del Carmen (Up) will be on hand in Cannes, along with members of the all-star English-language voice cast.
“We are overjoyed at being included in this year's official selection at Cannes,” said Docter. “With Inside Out, we spent years imagining -- and then building -- never-before-seen settings and characters within the mind. It was an incredible, fun and exciting challenge and now we can’t wait to share it with the world.”
Inside Out is the story of a young girl named Riley who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions: Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her as they struggle to adjust to a new city and school.
Disney will release Inside Out in 3D in theaters everywhere starting June 19, 2015. The 68th annual Cannes Film Festival begins on May 13th.
