Fact check: Post Title: [Tiny Spoiler] Loved the little nod to Steve in Pixar's "Inside Out" Post Content: Don't want to spoil anything too big, but there's a fantastic little nod to Steve Jobs in the new Pixar movie, "Inside Out." During one sequence, Joy (the main 'emotion character') stumbles into a sort of film set in which dreams are being filmed. A bunch of stand-ins are milling about on the set in costumes, and then the director calls for the "reality distortion filter" to be added to the camera. The camera operator slides a new lens into the camera, and we see the actors in the set instantly transform into perfectly believable mirror-images of the real-life people being replicated in the dream sequence. Not sure this makes sense outside the context of the film, but it's a lovely little moment that flies by and might be missed if you aren't watching for it.

1. Summary of the results

The claim about a Steve Jobs reference in "Inside Out" appears to be connecting the film's "reality distortion filter" to Jobs' famous "reality distortion field". While the analyses don't explicitly confirm this specific scene in the movie, the connection is plausible given that the term "reality distortion field" was indeed a well-known phrase associated with Steve Jobs during his time at Apple ^[1].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original post would benefit from understanding these additional contexts:

• The term "reality distortion field" was originally coined by Bud Tribble at Apple to describe Jobs's remarkable ability to convince people of nearly anything through his charisma ^[1]
• "Inside Out" is known for including various Easter eggs throughout the film ^[2], which means this could be one of many hidden references

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

While the post appears to be made in good faith, there are some considerations:

• The post presents the connection as definitive, but neither analysis explicitly confirms that this scene was intended as a direct reference to Jobs ^[2]
• The timing is worth noting: Pixar has historical connections to Steve Jobs as he was once the owner of the studio, which could make viewers more likely to see references where they might not be intended
• The interpretation could be influenced by confirmation bias - fans familiar with Jobs's history might naturally connect any "reality distortion" reference to him, even if it wasn't intended that way

It's worth noting that without direct confirmation from Pixar's creative team, this remains an interesting interpretation rather than a confirmed reference.
