&gt;I&#x27;m not sure that Inside Out was meant to be an accurate depiction of our emotions any more than Finding Nemo is meant as an accurate portrayal of marine ecosystems, or Ratatouille of French cuisine.<p>And yet the first thing to come to many children&#x27;s minds when shown a clown fish or French cuisine is Nemo and Ratatouille.<p>&gt; I don&#x27;t think that children watching the movie will really grow up believing they have all these little people in their heads.<p>I&#x27;ve met people who think the movie helped them &quot;understand themselves better&quot; whether or not that is actually true.<p>&gt;But if we couldn&#x27;t reduce that complexity into modular, independent pieces then how would we ever communicate?<p>Not everyone wants to speak the same language, (or even be forced to hear you).
