Inside Out puts Pixar back on the Map!

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2015)

I'm a very big fan of Pixar. It's probably one of my favorite animation studios of all time, besides Studio Ghibli. So when I heard that the first reviews of Inside Out were very positive, I got really excited knowing that Pixar has finally made another great film! I was especially excited by this news because I think it's been quite a while since Pixar's last really good film, like I think the last Pixar film that I was really enthusiastic about was Toy Story 3. After that movie it's been a bit rough for the company; Cars 2 was a completely unnecessary sequel, Brave was not terrible but was still very disappointing and Monsters University was good but still far from Pixar's best work. However, now we have the critically acclaimed Inside Out. I got to say, it was very well done but would I put it up along with my all-time favorite Pixar films? Well, let's see.
First off, the emotions are very fun characters and the actors used for these characters were very well chosen because they all have the perfect voices for each character. These emotions are very funny at times and they work well with this film's heartwarming story. Speaking of which, the story is very clever and it even has some moments that may tug on your heartstrings. Pixar sure likes us to make us cry, apparently the First ten minutes of Up and the ending of Toy Story 3 wasn't enough for them. Some of the locations shown within the girl, Riley's, head are very clever as well. Pixar really did a good job with their research, some of the things Riley's brain does is pretty accurate...but in a fictional and cartoon like way. Also we do see inside some other character's heads as well, and that leads some very funny jokes.
Now as for flaws, I really can't think of anything in this film that was bad. However, I do feel like there was a little more potential with some of the elements they played around with in this film. I would've possibly liked to have seen some more emotion characters or maybe even more possible locations within the head, but that's just what I thought. Oh, and like I said we do get to see inside some other people's heads at a certain point, but that was only in like one or two parts of the movie. I kind of wished this aspect was played with more throughout the movie. Other then that, there was nothing this film had that I disliked.
Overall, Inside Out is an excellent film and probably one of Pixar's best films in quite a while. I know some people are going crazy calling this one of Pixar's best films ever made. I don't know if I would go that far, but it was still an excellent film. If your a parent who wants to take your kids to a good family film, then look no further than Pixar's newest film. I give it a 9 out of 10, but I may possibly raise it to a perfect 10 after a second viewing.
