insideout

Insideout is a name used by various media projects and brands. The most prominent reference is Inside Out, a 2015 American animated feature film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film follows Riley, a young girl whose emotions—Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust—are personified and operate inside her mind as she adjusts to a move to a new city. The story explores how these emotions interact to shape memory and behavior, balancing positive and negative experiences.

Inside Out was directed by Pete Docter and Ronnie del Carmen, produced by Jonas Rivera, with a musical score by Michael Giacchino. It received widespread critical acclaim for its inventive premise, emotional depth, and accessible treatment of complex psychological ideas. The film earned more than $857 million worldwide and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, among other honors. Its success contributed to discussion about emotional literacy and childhood development and influenced later works in animation and storytelling.

Beyond the film, Insideout has been used as a brand or project name by various musical groups, companies, and initiatives, often without relation to the Pixar feature. In general usage, the term inside out describes turning the inner part outward, a concept applied across disciplines such as psychology, fashion, and engineering. The exact meaning and association of Insideout can vary by context and region.
