DIY Sadness’s Long Term Memory Retrieval Manual

One of the important accessories when creating a Sadness Costume from  Disney Pixars Inside Out is to carry a mock-up version of the Long Term Memory Retrieval Manual, Volume 47 published by Pillar Pathways Press.

The Long Term Memory Retrieval Manual is the book binder that Joy has Sadness read to keep her occupied and out of mischief.

Her knowledge of the inner workings of memory storage proves to be invaluable knowledge when Joy and Sadness get stuck in long term memory and allows Sadness to ultimately save the Riley and the day.

Watch the clip below to see what happens when these two unlikely allies find themselves caught away from Headquarters and must work together to get back for Riley.

Make a Memory Retrieval Manual

A DIY version of the Long Term Memory Retrieval Manual can be made very easily by printing out paper using the templates we have created and inserting it into a standard white binder.

Materials

  • Long Term Memory Manual graphics
  • Basic Three Ring Binder
  • Stack of Hole-punched Papers

Instructions

  • Download and print the Long Term Memory Manual graphics front (above), back and side covers (below).
  • Place the printed graphics into the binder covers—front, back and side. The side title graphic gets slid into the “Customizable” section of the basic binder to the right.
  • Add the stack of punched paper so the binder looks full of instructions.

Consider gluing or inconspicuously taping the edges together so your binder/manual stays shut while you are carrying it around as your costume accessory.
