Funny, Poignant and Emotionally Fulfilling

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2015)

I went with high hopes to this film after having watched the magic and beauty of "Up" created by the same team. And I wasn't disappointed.
The entire concept of an alternate reality within the brain is a stroke of marvelous creativity, and the way the story turned and twisted around unexpected corners made the watch engaging and fulfilling. This is a story that dazzles with its onset, evolves with its progress and leaves a feeling of warmth with its conclusion.
Throughout the storytelling there is a sense of innocence that makes the characters all the more likable. The complexities of the human psyche have been boiled down to five principle emotions who begin as simple one-dimensional characters and mature by experiencing loss and achievement in their own individual ways - which is the true essence of growing up.
All in all, this is a story well thought out and equally well presented, making this a complete film and easily one of the best from Pixar so far.
