Growing up is a part of life, we all grow up and learn to like new
things, make new friends and discover the person we are meant to be with. It is a
part of life. The movie Inside Out gave us a peek at how the mind of a young
girl might deal with all of the emotional feelings that help us get through the
day. Well what happens when Riley starts to grow up more, and has new life
experiences, how will her emotions take these new experiences? Well we can find
out a little bit more with the new short included in the Inside Out DVD, the
short “Riley’s First Date?” .
“RILEY’S FIRST DATE?”. Director Josh Cooley,
along with “Inside Out” filmmakers Pete Docter (“Up,” “Monsters, Inc.”) and
Jonas Rivera (“Up”), introduced the short, which revisits Riley, now 12, who is
hanging out with her parents at home when potential trouble comes knocking.
Mom’s and Dad’s Emotions find themselves forced to deal with “Riley’s First
Date?” The short will be included as a bonus feature in the digital HD &
Blu-ray releases of Disney·Pixar’s “Inside Out,” which will be available on
Blu-ray Nov. 3, 2015.
Riley’s First Date?
Is a fun look at how a first “date” may be. As you can see by the quotes, and
the question mark this may or may not be a real date… But it can sure feel that
way with your emotions. This mini movie, starred all of your favorite characters
from the movie Inside Out, From Riley and her emotions to Mom and Dad and their
emotions. All your favorites are back! The short brought me back to my childhood when
I brought a boy home (as a friend) to study for a upcoming test…
My parents
started acting strange much like Riley’s in this short. There was no AC/DC rocking out with my study partner and my dad though… My daughter is nearly 11 and just the thought
of her dating…. Oh I can’t even imagine how my husband would react to her first
boy “friend” or her first “date”, it will be interesting that is for sure! I
will make sure I keep with my own personality and try not to act “cool” because
it just does not work. Fo shizzle! I don’t
want to spoil this short for you all, but you have to see Riley’s First Date? I laughed and laughed it was adorable.

Two of my favorite Inside Out characters in one room? Yes! We were extremely lucky to be able to interview. Phyllis Smith, who is the voice of Sadness and Richard Kind the voice of Bing Bong. These talented actors lent their voices to these amazing characters and made the movie as great as it was. I loved Phyllis Smith in The Office, and Richard Kind in so many of his great works, but I especially loved him in Spin City. These were two down to earth folks, Phyllis was so genuinely excited, so much that she wanted to document it and take pictures.

Phyllis came into the interview taking
pictures of us! Yes, myself and 24 bloggers are in a picture on Phyllis Smiths
phone! It was like we were the celebrities! It was fun and a little surreal. But now it was time to
get down to business and find out some answers we all wanted to know about the movie
Inside Out and the fun characters they both played. Sure, we as fans love the characters, but do the
actors who voice the characters you love know how very popular those characters
and the movie they are in are? Well not really. According to Phyllis Smith “I
don't really know how popular it is to be honest, I saw it in St. Louis, one or two people came
up to me in St. Louis, I’m just kind of in, a little vacuum. I don't really
know how it is. I’m glad that people are enjoying it.” Richard Kind : “ I am not at all surprised at
how popular, Phyllis’s character is. it’s a perfect voice performance and a
perfectly written part by these guys because it’s such a touchy character
because no one wants to be sad and yet we identify with you. So I am so taken
by your performance because although it’s down in the dumps it’s not
depressive. It’s simply sad. And I think that that's an amazing thing that you did." What about the beloved Bing Bong? Phyllis loved
Bing Bong, “The heart of that character is just everywhere, Richard did a wonderful
job with Bing Bong”. Did you know that
Bing Bong was a bit of a secret character initially for the movie Inside Out?
The movie was to be released and Bing Bong was not to be in any of the ad
campaigns. When the movie debuted in Cannes, Richard Kind was not even invited,
then the movie came out an with an explosion of, oh, “we didn't know that this
guy was in the movie”, what did Richard think of missing Cannes because his character
was not announced?

He was very supportive, “Once again Pixar proves its
brilliance. They thought ahead, and they were absolutely right. Nevertheless,
I’d like them to send me to France right now.” He is such a funny guy, with a
voice that was made for the character Bing Bong. Did you know, Richard Kind did
not read for the part of Bing Bong, he was just cast for the part?
Ever wonder if the person is anything like the
characters they bring to life with their voices? What part of yourself went
into your characters? According to Richard Kind “Certainly my energy, I can be
loud. I think I'm more animated off stage than I am on. But there was a lot. I
happen to think that I'm a nice man. I live my life with morality and ethics. I'm
more positive than I am negative. And I think that this guy (Bing Bong) is free
of negativity.
I think there's purity to this guy. And as an actor I knew what
I had to deliver. So that's what I give." When
Phyllis Smith was working on the voice of Sadness, when she started “I
was so insecure, which I think helped with my character, because they didn't
want sadness to just be a sad sack that was annoyingly crying all the time. And
so they actually fed into my real insecurities. It worked”.
What's your preference voice acting vs
traditional acting? Would you like to do more of one or the other? Phyllis Smith, exclaimed “All of it! I would love to do more animation. I’d love to
work for Pixar again and also on screen. I mean it’s a different processes. They're
both challenging. Just to be able to work is a good thing”.

Both Richard and Phyllis favorite scene of the
movie was a Bing Bong scene, when Bing Bong says “I’ve got a good feeling about
this." This was one of the most heartwarming scenes of the movie for me. Seems
like I am not alone, when Richard Kind brought his young daughters to see a
rough cut of the film, they were able to see a bit of the scene with Bing Bong,
in the canyon with the wagon. (I will not spoil the rest of the scene for those
who have not seen the movie yet…) when this scene was finished according to
Richard Kind, his daughter was moved by what she saw “when it finished, she collapsed
in her mother’s arms, sobbing, sobbing, sobbing, and had not seen the whole
movie, only had a bit of context. When I knew that this movie would resonate, I
was given proof at that point.” I know
at this point I was moved to tears as well. See all of your favorites with the Inside Out
Blu-Ray coming to stores on 11/3/15. The Blu-Ray is filled with extras, deleted
scenes, and more!

“We don’t want our kids to change, we love who they are” - Peter Docter .... Truer words were never spoken, and these words are the epitome of the Disney/Pixar hit movie Inside Out. Inside Out was a movie that made me laugh, made me cry and then laugh and cry again. One of Pixar’s most shining moments. I and 24 other awesome bloggers recently sat down with Inside Out’s Director Peter Docter & Producer Jonas Rivera to ask some questions we have all have been wondering about.
The biggest question on your minds, surely is the same question we all had, the most important question of them all! Is there going to be an Inside Out sequel? Will we see Riley grow up more, will we get to be introduced to new emotions? According to Jonas Rivera “We have spent 5 years of our lives on this film we are so proud of it, we are proud of all the characters and the world. What wakes us up in the morning is being part of something completely new. We love Inside Out it could be fun, new world and there is definitely some open-endedness to the end. We lean towards something totally new. We never say never, but we would like to do something totally different”

I know my family and I loved the movie so very much, from the first sneak peak at the Disney Media Mom's Conference, to the Red Carpet Premiere of Inside Out to the many times we saw the film together in the theater as a family we all seemed to connect with the film in our own way. We could all relate to each and every character from times of Sadness to Joy to Anger and Fear and Disgust we go through all of those emotions each day.
