Any Psych Majors Dream (Ex)

Pixar's Inside Out Review
The Awesome: This movie is a Psych Majors dream. Since I am a former psych major, I throughly enjoyed the explanation of concepts, dreams and ideas. They even venture to explain puberty and abstract thoughts along with long-term memory retention. I loved the view and graphics of the film. It is a very mentally enlightening film. Sadness played by Phyllis Smith was easily my favorite character. She was followed by Bing-Bong.
The Meh: I loved most of the voice actors. I feel like they did a great job portraying their characters and roles EXCEPT Amy Poehler. I don't wanna be nit-picky, but sometimes during the film, her voice didn't seem to match her character. Maybe it is because usually when I think of Amy Poehler I think of anger, angst or sex. Not Happiness and joy. Regardless, she does a decent job. Mindy Kaling played Disgust. I wish her and Amy switched roles, even tho Amy's name would draw in more adults, I think Mindy would have done a better job and Pixar could have had a first ever Hindu-lead of an animated film. IDK just saying, I think she would have did a better job and I would have won over the Public Relations crowd. W/e I also wish they did more venturing into other people's head.
The Terrible: Honestly nothing. The film is short and sweet and direct. For some reason, it will not be known as the "Greats" and I am going to venture on that point now. Abstract thought scene wasn't so necessary IMO.
The Overall: As I said before, it was an amazing film. Very scientifically sound and accurate and the research that the movie sunk into it shows. I cried on different times. If they spent even 3 more minutes in other peoples' heads, I would have been elated. However, that could be the Psychologist/Social Worker in me talking. Nice and tight film. Honestly, you cant talk down about it but nothing makes this movie stand out much except for the concept and imagination. Sadness steals the show to me. The film wont be mentioned alongside Toy- Story, Finding Nemo, Wall-E or the Incredibles. But it will be mentioned with Ratatouille, Bug's Life, Cars and Brave. RATING: 9/10﻿
