Looks like it might be fun. I love Pixar stuff. I have a bunch of their shorts.
Yes, it's going to be interesting to see how all this is accomplished. They seem to have ignored the emotion of jealousy/envy, which is has an enormous effect on people's behavior. I wonder if it will be brought into the picture at all.The five emotions mentioned are: Fear, Anger, Disgust, Sadness and Joy. I wonder where jealousy will fit in.
It sounds like this psychological story might be confusing to watch. As far as I can make out (from the info linked below), five "emotions" are actual characters in the story. The New York Times review linked below describes these "characters".

AMAZON DESCRIPTION: "Five Emotions must work hard when a young girl moves to a new city."
IMDb DESCRIPTION: "After young Riley is uprooted from her Midwest life and moved to San Francisco, her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness - conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school."
PIXAR'S STORYLINE: "Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley's mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school."

HEADLINE OF NY TIMES REVIEW: "Pixar’s ‘Inside Out’ Finds the Joy in Sadness, and Vice Versa"
EXCERPTS FROM NY TIMES REVIEW:
---"The story takes place mostly in the head of an 11-year-old girl named Riley, who has just moved with her parents from Minnesota to San Francisco."
----"Riley’s brain is controlled by five busy, contentious emotions: Fear, Anger, Disgust, Sadness and Joy. Each one has a necessary role to play, and they all carry out their duties in Riley’s neurological command center with the bickering bonhomie of workplace sitcom colleagues."
