Pixar is back! After what has been a few dodgy films, I was a tad skeptical coming into this film despite what the critics were saying, HOWEVER i have never been so happy to be wrong. It was a lovely sweet film with a terrific and original story.
"Inside Out" is about a 11 year old girl named Riley. who lives a terrific life in Minnesota. She has loads of friends, and is the star on her hockey team. But when her dad is forced to move them to San Fransisco because of work, she gets deeply depressed. We discover she has 5 emotions in her head that keep her well balanced. Joy, played by Amy Poelher, runs the place. She keeps the negativity down, and always wants Riley to have good thoughts and memories. She has to make that happen with the understanding of Anger, (Lewis Black,) Fear, (Bill Hader) Disgust, (Mindy Kaling,) and lastly Sadness, who is played by Phyllis Smith. Sadness is constantly trying to make things sad, and it makes Joy's job that much harder. But Joy comes to realize that to make Riley truly happy, she needs to experience Sadness too, so she knows what to be grateful for. The journey that Joy and Sadness take together, looking out for one another and learning to sacrifice for each other is pretty amazing. I can safely say this is one of the best Pixar movies out there. The voice acting is superb. Included in the cast are Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan as Rileys parents, each of whom has their own group of emotions running their every day lives. We realize we are all connected by our feelings. There are no weak links in this film. from start to finish, each aspect is incredibly well done.
THE VERDICT
"Inside Out"is not only as one of the best films of the summer, its one of the best of the year. I give Inside Out an A
