If you haven’t seen Disney Pixar’s Inside Out, you should. It’s a “must-see” according to our own review and the Honest Trailers parody of it will help you see why. In another example of corporate synergy at its finest, Disney is cross-advertising two of its biggest film projects of 2015 today, using its lovable characters from Inside Out to “react” to the latest trailer of Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, at the same time promoting the in-home release of Inside Out next week.
The new Star Wars 7 trailer, by the way, debuted on Disney-owned ESPN timed with the beginning of ticket sales. It’s all connected!
Taking advantage of the meta joke of celebrities reacting emotionally to the various teaser trailers for The Force Awakens, including most recently Star Wars 7 stars Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, Pixar just blasted the following fun video on Facebook and Twitter.
So many emotions! #TheForceAwakens
