The real Pixar returns to revive it's inventive glory!

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2015)

Astonishing animation. Inventive and complex concept. Perfect voice acting. That is the formula of Pixar that is used in almost every film Pixar has ever produced. However, after Toy Story 3 came out, the formula isn't really used properly in Cars 2, Brave and Monsters University. Just when we thought it's the end of the glory of Pixar we fell in love with, Pete Docter's Inside Out came along in Summer of 2015 and thanks to critical acclaim, it revived Pixar's glory using the formula as perfect as our favourite Pixar movies. The movie was simply splendid and clever and undoubtedly one of the best films 2015 has to offer. Of course, there are other stuff that has a same idea this movie does. (Like the Numskulls) But, I think this movie stands out the most.
Anyway, let's dive into the film. The film takes place in a mind of a 11-year-old girl named Riley, who is controlled by 5 emotions, Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear. Inside her mind, all the places represent Riley's personality and the place called Headquarters, where the emotions live, is where emotions and recent memories come to Riley.
Surprisingly, there's a lot of things to go through about this movie but it's worth it! Starting off with the concept, many things in the centre of the concept are genius like emotions use these crystal ball like memories to make Riley remember moments from the past and there's the place where Riley's dreams were made and those dreams are screened at Headquarters for the emotions to watch like a movie. That is so smart! The animation is simply amazing and it really deserves an achievement. The glow on Joy makes me question how the animators do that on a character. Speaking of the characters, all 5 emotions in Riley's mind are probably one of Pixar's most lovable characters in an original film. Disgust is well designed, Anger and Fear are really funny, Sadness is well voice acted by Phyllis Smith and Joy is my personal favourite character in this film. She's chucklesome, cute, admirable and Amy Poehler is perfect for the voice acting!
Now, the story. I won't tell you the story because I want to keep the anticipation in you if you want to see this movie. Overall, the story delivered a lot of scenes with different emotion states. There are some happy moments, there are funny moments, there are moments that might as well leave you shedding tears quite easily. I didn't cry but it moderately hit me.
Inside Out is one of the best Pixar films ever made and I highly recommend it. If you love Toy Story, Finding Nemo and Up, I'm sure that you'll never be disappointed with this one since it has a clever concept, brilliant voice acting and most importantly, impressive animation!
We beg you Pixar to keep this glorious journey of inventiveness and emotion going. Keep it up, Pixar. Don't let us down ever again!
Film Score: 10/10 - Masterpiece
