In this episode of Katie’s Crib, Katie talks to Meg LeFauve, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter for the Pixar film Inside Out. Meg explains the process that came along with writing the film, and what she hopes the movie (and its successor) would teach about expressing emotions.
Meg digs into how she first got involved in the IO project, and how the character Sadness became the essential emotion of focus in the movie. The “The Screenwriting Life” podcast host also reflects on how she witnessed children and adult audience members react to the flick. Finally, Meg recalls how the movie influenced her own parenting styles.
Also, how did Meg’s own children respond to Inside Out, knowing that their mom wrote the movie? Push play for the answer!
