"I could turn you inside-out,What I choose not to do,I could turn you inside-out,What I choose not to do."

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2015)

With the school holidays having arrived,a friend asked me if there were any good movies out that she and her kids could go and see.After having seen some very interesting ads for the film,it felt like the perfect time to view Pixar's latest title from the inside out.
The plot:
Seconds after a girl called Riley is born,the emotion of Joy manifests itself in her head.As Joy gets Riley to smile for the first time in her life,another emotion slogs along called Sadness,who causes Riley to cry for the first time.As Riley grows up,5 emotions manifest within her head,with the emotions being Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger,who influence Riley's actions and memories with a control console.
Since Riley has lived a life filled with happiness over the years,Joy finds herself struggling over how to guide Riley,when her dad gets a new job,which leads to the family having to move to a new city and leaving all of Riley's friends behind. Optimistic over Riley getting a new dream house,Joy is disappointed to find that the new house is in ruins.As Joy tries to get Riley to focus on here happy "core" memories,Sadness causes Riley to create her first ever sad "core memory." Whilst trying to stop the new memory joining the core group,Joy ends up accidentally shutting down major parts of Riley's personality.Desperate to repair the damage,Sadness & Joy decide to go and explore the rest of Riley's mind.
View on the film:
For the screenplay of the film,co-writers/(along with Meg LeFauve/Josh Cooley/Amy Poehler and Bill Hader take the extremely daring decision to avoid the simple cartoon good V evil route,by showing each of the 5 emotions as each being good,but flawed components to Riley's personality.Showing a remarkable precision in choosing to reveal what is taking place outside of Riley's head,the writers give Riley's family life a delicate touch,as the parents are shown to be truly loving towards their daughter,but also struggling with the new emotions that they are experiencing.
Largely taking place in Riley's mind,the writers keep the thought moving at a superb pace,thanks to giving each part of Riley's mind distinctive,quirky features,and also gradually displaying Riley's growing maturity by having the separate emotions find themselves working as a team.
Exploring every inch of Riley's mind,directors Pete Docter & Ronaldo Del Carmen build an extraordinary ,vibrant world,which goes from a Hollywood studio being Riley's "dream factory",to fading colours lighting up Riley's forgotten memories.Focusing on 5 major emotions in Riley's personality,the directors give each of them a lavish appearance,as Joy sparklesÂ…joy across the screen in wild yellow dashes,whilst Sadness brings everything down to earth in light blue shades.
Bringing the happiness in Riley to life, Amy Poehler gives a fantastic performance as Joy,thanks to Poehler stopping Joy from becoming sickly sweet,by giving Joy an increasing tenderness in her relationship Sadness.Joining Poehler, Lewis Black gives a hilariously explosive performance as Anger,whilst Richard Kind brings imaginary friend Bing Bong to life at a dazzling speed,and Phyllis Smith scatters very funny down beat one-liners across the movie in her performance wonderful performance as Sadness,in a film which explores the inside,and outside life of Riley.
