About the Book
From Pixar, the animation studio, and director Pete Docter, director of Up, Monsters, Inc., and writer of the first two Toy Story movies comes a motion picture that takes you on a journey into the most extraordinary location of all — inside the mind of an 11-year-old named Riley! Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for 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, Fear, Anger, Disgust, and Sadness. The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley's mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how to best navigate a new city, home, and school. Using the original screenplay and state-of-the-art digital technology to capture stills from the film, the Inside Out Cinestory Comic retells the story of the hit motion picture as a unique graphic novel experience.
