  The purpose of the film series is to encourage psychoanalytic dialogue with respect to creativity and movies. 

  Description: Emotions run wild in the mind of a little girl who is uprooted from her peaceful life in the Midwest and forced to move to San Francisco in this Pixar adventure from director Pete Docter (Up, Monsters Inc.).  Now, as Riley prepares to navigate a new city and attend a new school, her emotional headquarters becomes a hot bed of activity. As Joy (voice of Amy Poehler) attempts to keep Riley feeling happy and positive about the move, other emotions like Fear (voice of Bill Hader), Anger (voice of Lewis Black), Disgust (voice of Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith) make the transition a bit more complicated.    —  Summary found on IMDB

  Objectives:

  1. List 5 basic emotions
  2. Compare the movie portrayal of parts of the mind to psychoanalytic understanding of metapsychology
  3. Explain how seemingly contrasting emotions influence each other
