Pretty good on the Pixar scale

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2015)

Featuring a clever conceit and the standard glorious Pixar animation, "inside Out" fails to fail like "Cars 2" or "Brave" but doesn't become an instant classic like "Monsters University" or "Wall-E." As usual the world-building -in this case the internal monolouge of an eleven- year old girl - yields an immersive and discuss-able experience. It falls somewhat short of, say, "The Incredibles" when it comes to snappy dialog or repeatable lines. The fact that line where the character Sadness is told to "be positive" and responds with "I'm positive we're going to get lost" actually makes the trailer gives you a sense of the weakness of the script. The voice-acting and cast choices are solid if not bold - see Lewis Black as "Anger". In short, well worth seeing although you could wait until it shows up on streaming video.
