\philosophical: Showing growth requires showing &quot;before&quot; and &quot;after&quot;. Yet, if the bulk of a movie is the &quot;before&quot;, it can be a way of celebrating that behaviour, and the brief &quot;after&quot; at the end is a way to slip past the censors. [In general - not saying Inside Out would be censored!] The greater screen time and scenes means &quot;before&quot; leaves the greater impression on viewers.<p>Inside Out&#x27;s is a dissatisfying explantion for emotion, because each emotion-character themselves exhibited a variety of emotion (e.g. Joy was sad), implying by the conceit of the movie that they each had a set of emotions within their own head... ad infinitum. That&#x27;s the problem with the homunculi theory of mind: it doesn&#x27;t explain anything.<p>Did anger ever make a useful contribution in the movie? IIRC only a source of humour, or a problem to be worked around.<p>BTW The outtake-like scenes at the end included a bus driver who was all anger.
