There are a few cultural events from 2015 that still stand out in the memory. Adele released 25 and Drake released the persistently catchy Hotling Bling. Kim Kardashian had her first son Saint, Jon Snow died in Game of Thrones, the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey took over the world, and then there was Pixar’s animation Inside Out.
The animation, which anthropomorphised the different emotions inside the head of an 11-year-old girl, became one of Pixar’s most successful films ever, pulling in a whopping $857 million (today it’s still the studio’s sixth most lucrative film). People around the world loved the idea of emotions – which sometimes do seem like individual entities – scrambling inside someone’s head and vying for space.
