INSIDE OUT (2015) **** (Voice of : Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Kaitlyn Dia, Diane Lane, Kyle MacLachlan, Richard Kind, Paula Poundstone, Bobby Moynihan, Dave Goelz, Frank Oz, Paula Pell, John Ratzenberger, Rashida Jones, Laraine Newman). Pixar's genius is sterling again with the latest instant classic from the studio that keeps making you wish you were a kid again. This time probing the mind of a young girl named Riley (Dia) whose recent move with her family has her emotions under siege with new memories and attempts to retain 'core' ones as well. In charge is Joy (ever peppy Poehler), Sadness (dour Smith), Fear (frantic Hader), Anger (stereotyped Black) and Disgust (Kaling at full tilt) all bucking for control until Joy & Sadness find themselves ousted from headquarters (get it?) and racing to get back to keep things normal in spite of the odds. Funny, warm and poignant and a visual feast for the eyes (great fun spoofing artistry of all types once Riley's imaginary friend Bing Bong (fun Kind) enters the picture to aid the bickering feelings. Veteran director Pete Docter co-directs with Ronaldo Del Carmen (who penned the lively script with Meg LeFauve & Josh Cooley) with wild abandon. Great for the whole family and one of the year's best films.
