Pixar came up with a brilliant concept, but not the only one of its kind.
“Inside Out” can easily be called one of the most unique cartoons in history – where else can you see how the consciousness of a growing girl is controlled by humanized emotions? But if we deviate from the main feature of the project, there are more than enough similarities with others.
“The Little Prince” (2015), Mark Osborne
Just like Inside Out, The Little Prince explores the inner world of a child and shows how fantasy and memories play a key role in personal development. Both films use metaphorical stories to convey deep emotional and psychological messages, emphasizing the importance of childhood and emotional maturity.
“The Dreammakers” (2020) Kim Hagen Jensen
This cartoon also visualizes the inner world of the heroine, allowing viewers to see her emotions and internal conflicts. Both projects emphasize the importance of understanding and accepting your emotions for personal growth, using fantastical elements to explore the psychology of the characters.
“Gnomes in the House” (2017), Peter Lepenioti
Although less focused on the inner emotional world than Inside Out, they both explore themes of friendship and support in difficult times, and also use fantasy elements to emphasize the importance of loyalty and protection, creating compelling and educational stories.
“The Secret of the Monster Family” (2017), Leopold Aguilar
This family animation project, like Inside Out, uses fantastical elements to explore themes of identity and self-acceptance. Both films emphasize the importance of family bonds and personal growth by showing how the characters deal with internal and external conflicts.
“Ratatouille” (2007) by Brad Bird
Ratatouille and Inside Out explore themes of self-actualization and overcoming obstacles, emphasizing the importance of following your dreams and finding your place in the world despite challenges and societal expectations. They inspire viewers to pursue their goals and embrace their unique qualities.
Well, in both cartoons, the main character is literally controlled by another being at times. In Inside Out, emotions control Riley’s behavior, while in Ratatouille, Remy the rat controls Linguini’s actions, pulling his hair like puppet strings.
