Amy Poehler is looking to bring a little “Joy” into theaters, with the new animated film “Inside Out.”
And as it turns out, when it came to creating the emotion-based character, Joy, inside an 11-year-old girl’s head, Amy looked for inspiration from a rather iconic figure.
“I listened to Tom Hanks’ performance in ‘Toy Story’ because it was like, how do you play a character like Woody, who I love and my kids love, that’s like, ‘Come on! Go get ’em!’ without it driving you crazy?'” Amy revealed to Access Hollywood’s Scott “Movie” Mantz.
