An excellent and fun film, inside and out!

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2015)

This is a very cool movie from Disney/Pixar about young Riley who moved from her Midwest home to San Francisco, causing her to miss her house, friends, hockey team and school in the Midwest. As a result, her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness - conflict on how to best help Riley deal with her new life surroundings.
I thought this movie is very clever, putting the human brain into a whole new perspective. It makes the mind seem like an entirely adventurous and separate world, where memories are formed as orbs or balls and are stored in certain shelves in the mind, and the emotions, who work at "headquarters," power the different islands that form your favorite memories (in this case, Riley has the islands of Hockey, Goofball, Family, Honesty and Friendship). Seeing Riley's emotions will make you kind of relate to her and how you deal with your own feelings. And, it's fun seeing Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness interact with each other.
The screenplay and writing team wrote an imaginative and adventurous script for the movie, letting people see how the human emotions work, guide everyday memories and how they actually need each other, and showcasing what happens when emotions conflict and memories fade. The conscience and the train of thought (literally) were also cleverly depicted. Pete Docter and Ronaldo Del Carmen did a great job directing the well-paced film, making you imagine your mind as a different world, and keeping you captivated from start to finish. And, the animation team gave us some colorful and detailed CGI work.
The voice casting did a great job in their respectable characters, delivering a good mixture of humor and heart-felt moments where appropriate. I find myself laughing out loud several times and getting teary-eyed in certain moments as well.
Overall, it's an excellent one from Pixar and it is great for the entire family!
