Listen to your inner voice/child.....

Rating: 8/10 (26 July 2015)

I really like Pixar movies, always have, not ashamed to say as 40+ married adult that I have most of them on DVD and we don't even have kids!
So wife was working last night, so home alone so I did what any guy does - go to the cinema. Was wanting to go and see Inside Out since I first heard about it, as I thought it sounded like a good idea for a movie, unfortunately because we don't have kids, I had to work out a valid excuse to see it. So I tossed a coin to decide, lost the coin so listened to my inner child and went to see it.
What a lovely feel good movie. Was pleasantly surprised that some of the humour was aimed at adults (judging by the amount of adult laughs I could hear). Granted it's not one of Pixar's best but I think it ranks up as being a good animated film.
Character of Riley came across as a good Pixar character, listening to her own emotions/characters - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. For me Sadness was probably my favourite, as I actually laughed out loud with her. Joy for me I found a bit annoying and came across as a bit of a control freak, which was probably the idea!
Loved the scene at the dinner table where the mum & dad are talking, mum is trying to attract dad's attention but he's day dreaming of football, like me when my wife talks to me!
Film starts of well with the family moving, Riley having to deal with the turmoil and losing her friends and home, then because of an accident which "seperates" Joy & Sadness from her. She has to listen to Anger, Fear & Disgust. This is where for me I felt it was heading to a dark direction, started to wonder where the film was heading, but was glad to say that it ended nicely (which caused me to have s lump in my throat).
Was trying to spot the Pixar Easter eggs but couldn't spot them, although I did manage to hear the distinctive voice of Pixar stalwart John Ratzenberger, a Pixar film wouldn't be the same without him!
If you want a nice family feel good movie, listen to your inner voice and go and see it.
Oh, one more thing loved the mini move just before the start - Lava Story (I think), don't why but I think I had a bit of dust in my eye at the end of it ;-)
