Rating: Null/10 (7 July 2015)

Some movies bring out the child inside us. Doesn't matter if you are 9, 23 or 49 we all like to forget our daily struggle and be transferred into the world of make believe. It is even better when after the ending of the film we are still emotionally invested with the characters we saw on the screen. It is mind blowing however when these characters are animated and the movie is the 15th feature film of the company known for their excellence in delivering deep enjoyable animated films, which in some way became the benchmark of animation around the world. Pixar as a team, truly outdid themselves this time creating arguably one of their best feature films with "INSIDE OUT". With a blend of education and entertainment they created truly enjoyable experience which lasts much longer after the initial viewing. The premise is very simple and the actual plot can be easily explained with a so called "elevator pitch". "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." Under this simple premise a deeper complex psychological story is hidden in plane sight. In fact this film might be the most deep and sometime darkest of Pixar's creations, because it deals with the human psychology and emotions which occur in us all. By lowering the count from the original 27 emotions and keeping the choice to 5, using, Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness, Pixar's team created very clear pattern of behavior where our characters operate. This story has two dimensionality because it takes place in normal life and inside our protagonist head. The stimuli of her life experiences are translated towards which emotions are dominating at the particular time. I do not want to give away to much in terms of the twists and turn of the plot, but I can insure you, you will laugh out loud and certainly share a tear or two. The characters created here are extremely endearing and in fact this story does not have really an antagonist. It could be argued that the antagonist in "INSIDE OUT" is the environment which becomes the catalysator that starts the change in Ridley's life. Her memories are changing and she in some way moves on to another chapter in her life that is much more mature. The most important moral of this story is that it is OK to be sad and sometimes all human being needs is to have a good cry that releases those inner emotions that are bottled up inside us. After we do that, we feel a sense of peace and calm. All the voice-over actors do a splendid job in adding the extra layer of believability to wonderfully detailed CGI animations giving them much needed soul. As I mentioned before it is a very simple story and yet the execution is of an epic proportions. Pixar's ability to entertain us and sometimes move us to tears is second to non. This is truly one of the best feature films they created and it has been made with only half of the normal team. The production design took 5 years to be prepared therefor there is nothing random here. Everything has it's psychological backing which ads to the masterful, meticulous way this film has been created with. If you have little kids then take them to see "INSIDE OUT" it's a no brainer. If you are not a child no more, but you would like to be brought back in to your childhood, there is no better movie this summer to accomplish that then "INSIDE OUT". I already heard some rumors that this film might be nominated for an Oscar in the category of a Best Picture and why not. This amount of entertainment, depth and psychological education deserves the highest praise. I guaranty you will love "INSIDE OUT". Go and check it out in 3D.
