In an interview for this weeks episode of theInside Total Film podcast, Docter unpacked that statement.
“But we don’t want it to be autobiographical.
We want it to be personal.
And these films have to be universal.
So we talk about specificity as being a gateway to the universal.”
Docter also highlights how this plays into the creation of a protagonist.
“Personally, I’m super excited to do original stuff,” says Docter.
“I think that’s what made the Pixar name.
That’s how we got an Inside Out 2 because we made Inside Out 1.
However, it’s a weird time out there.
So it’s not like we’ve never done sequels before.
So that’s, that’s fun, and not easy either.
Sequels are just as hard [as originals].”
Mann also remembers having qualms when he first heard that Pixar was going to make a Toy Story 2.
Are they just gonna phone it in?'
And [they] did not.
And I’ve really tried to do that with [Inside Out 2] too."
