Emotions run high for Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness as the characters from INSIDE OUT react to Marvel’s AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON trailer.
From an adventurous balloon ride above the clouds to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award-winning director Pete Docter (UP) has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In Disney•Pixar’s original movie INSIDE OUT he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all – inside the mind.
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 (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 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 best to navigate a new city, house and school.
AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON opens in the U.S. on Friday, May 1st and it has already made a splash at the Box Office worldwide.

No less impressive, Universal’s ‘Furious 7’ crossed the $1 billion mark internationally on Sunday and with an astonishing $323 million in 15 days it becomes the highest-grossing film in history in China.”
