Meticulously researched, honed, and realised, its definitely a return to form for Pixar.

I really enjoyed the movie.

Thank you.

And Ive been reading about how long it took to make.

Are there any messages you tried to avoid sending out with this film?

Most people want to suppress them, want to avoid having to show them.

Thats definitely a stereotype of British people.

A lot of cultures are like that.

watching his little boy grow up.

And theres a huge writing team.

If youve all got that input into it, is there something of your childhood in there too?

There is a lot, all of us.

We all contributed stories about growing up and about watching our own kids.

How have you found its gone with the younger children who dont have these reference points yet?

Because they saw it when it was only just drawings, just story reels.

They responded really well, they told our movies story back to us.

But what was amazing was they started to grasp… they started to talk about emotions as concepts.

So, my fear is driving, not you.

And the kid overcame that feeling, that fear, and jumped anyway and had a good time.

It feels like a win!

That partly answers one of my other questions.

When you were doing the research for this was there anything you discovered about yourself?

We didnt know that.

Oh my goodness…so theyre like body assistants?

I was just wondering if anyone involved had read that or heard of that?

No, I dont think so.

Im not familiar with it all.

I dont know if its still inThe Beano, but itll be online somewhere.

You mentioned earlier you were showing the film to people at Pixar.

Before it ever got confirmed for production you were showing versions of it, is that right?

And people understand: is this interesting?

Thats the bigger one.

And then we get notes from the studio.

That sounds fun but daunting.

Oh, its nerve-wracking, its not fun!

Well, its fun for us so that we can learn what to do next.

What form do these show reels take?

From your earlier career, are there any character designs youre especially fond of, from times like doingBatman?

Ummm….I remember drawing, like, costumes…thats a good question.

I wish I could remember.

Dont get older, you forget things.

What is your favourite Jason Statham film?

I think I like all of them.

I mean, that is obviously the correct answer…

I know, because, god, how can you pick?

But if you had to pick one?

Oh god, I dont know…

I didnt expect these to be the most difficult questions…

Inside Out is released on the 24th of July in the UK.
