An animation with an unique idea

Rating: 8/10 (8 September 2017)

In a fantastic world where people had five main characters in their heads which represent joy, fear, anger, disgust and sadness, a young girl is about to enter the darkest period of her short but lovely life. When she's forced to move with her parents to another home in San Francisco, Hope and Sadness get accidentally sent away from headquarters, leaving Fear, Anger and Disgust to take care of everything. This is the part when all begins to go wrong and only the two main feelings can help her, if they actually manage to get back to the place where they belong.
It's a very sentimental movie which presents the adventures of two characters as they try to find their way back through an endless maze filled with long-term memories. It's mostly sad and suspenseful, contrary to what I was expecting, briefly changing the mood from time to time with a funny sequence. I would have preferred a more joyful movie considering the premise it had, this way making it easier for everyone to enjoy. I had the impression I was watching a drama rather than a colorful and cheerful animation, which, by the way, was top notch as usual. Don't get me wrong, it's still a very good animation but pretty far away from the elite, unfortunately.
