Inside Out: An interesting look on what if feelings had feelings?

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2015)

Pixar's latest film tells the story of Riley by showing us exactly what's inside her mind. There we meet Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who operate "Riley Headquarters" and don't always agree. Joy is the voice of reason, always wanting to keep Riley happy, while the other feelings are repeatedly stepping on each other's toes to control Riley's emotional response. The banter between feelings will have you laughing out loud for most of the beginning of the movie. Everything in Riley's life is going great until her family decides to move. This move drives 11-year-old Riley into emotion overload, and we as the audience get to see this firsthand. Joy and Sadness are tossed into the deep recesses of Riley's mind, where the "Alice in Wonderland" type of fantasy is happening. The jokes are great, the story really interesting. The middle lags a bit, but overall, the movie is an interesting new take on a young girl's emotions.
