Emotional Rescue

A few months ago I posted a series of Nine Other Emotions That Didn't Make The Cut In Pixar's "Inside/Out." It was a humorous look at, well, other emotional characters that didn't make it into the movie.

Looks like my little post was more accurate than I realized. According to Pete Docter, co-director of the film, the original story idea featured far more than five main emotion characters, including ones such as Schadenfreude, Hope, Pride and Ennui.

Before they whittled them down, the plan was to feature a whopping twenty six emotion characters. Twenty six! Can you believe it?

Are there even that many emotions? Surely not.

The only ones I'm personally familiar with are Rage, Intense Rage, Searing Rage, Blind Rage, White Hot Rage and Intense White Hot Searing Blinding Rage. That's only six. But I guess those Pixar guys know what they're talking about.

Nine Other Emotions That Didn't Make The Cut In Pixar's "Inside Out"

Pixar's done it again! Critics and audiences alike have fallen in love with the studio's latest film, Inside Out. It's the story of a young girl named Riley and the wacky cast of personified emotions who live inside her head and control her life.

The movie features five different emotions that control the life of young Riley: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger. According to director Pete Docter, the original script featured dozens of other emotional characters, including Dread, Obsession and Mortification. Unfortunately many of these had to be dropped for time and story purposes, as they whittled the cast down to just five.

The staff here at Bob Canada's BlogWorld was lucky enough to get their hands on a few of the model sheets for these deleted characters, and are presenting them here for the first time.

Here are Nine Other Emotions That Didn't Make The Cut In Inside Out.

Sweet Emotion

Have you seen the trailer for Disney/Pixar's upcoming animated opus Inside Out yet? If so, you no doubt noticed they use Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion as the trailer's soundtrack.

It's an awesome song, even after all these years. I'm not sure what it's doing in a trailer for a kid's movie though, as it's a bit... suggestive.

Don't believe me? Here's the official lyrics:

Sweet emotion.

Sweet emotion.

Talk about things and nobody cares

Wearing other things that nobody wears

You're callin' my name, but I gotta make it clear

I can't say, baby, where I'll be in a year.

Some sweat hog mama with a face like a gent

Said my get up and go musta got up & went.

Well, I got good news: she's a real good liar'

Cause a backstage boogie set your pants on fire.

Sweet emotion.

Sweet emotion.

I pulled into town in a police car

Your daddy said I took it just a little too far.

You're tellin' other things, but your girlfriend lied

You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died.

Yes it did.

Standin' in front just shakin' your ass.

I take you backstage you can drink from my glass.

I talk about something you can sure understand'

Cause a month on the road and I'll be eatin' from your hand.

I'm betting the suits over at Disney never bothered to listen past the first ten seconds of the song. If they had, the hair on their collective heads would be standing straight up right about now, particularly at the "Standin' in front just shakin' your ass" line.

And don't forget the immortal lyric, "You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died." Remember boys, next time you get your underage girlfriend pregnant, don't worry about it! Just skip town and leave her to deal with your mess nine months later! Disney said so!
