The film I chose for my long paper essay is “Inside Out” by Pixar.

I like this film for many reasons: 
The story delivers a very meaningful message that touched me. The movie is fitting for both adults and children, and it approaches the topic of emotions in a way that is a great conversation starter. The film’s message about embracing all feelings rather than trying to be happy all the time is amazing and reminds us that all emotions serve a purpose in our lives. On top of that, I like the emotions character’s design and vivid colors that represent each of the emotions.


Outline for my paper – 

-Summary of “Inside Out” story.

-The making of this film and the story that stands behind it.

-The movie’s animation style and inspiration.

-Animation process and collaboration with Disney.

-Length of production and challenges faced during production.

-Screening and the movie’s overall gross.

-Success of the movie and awards.

-The importance of music and sound in the movie.

-Later works of animation influenced by this animation (including the upcoming announced sequel).

The Simpsons have always been known for their subtle use of product placement, and one of the most notable examples is the incorporation of Apple products. For example, the episode “Mypods and Boomsticks,” has various Apple references, including iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks integrated into the show’s storyline. The episode even features a “Mapple Store” (Apple stores’ reference), as well as a reference to Steve Jobs (referred to as “Steve Mobbs”). It’s clear that the writers of The Simpsons are masters at product placement in their stories in a way that feels natural and entertaining.
