Inside Out: Another Disney-Animated Masterpiece

Disney Pixar’s Inside Out is a top-tier animated film, in the same class as other famed Disney flicks such as Toy Story and the Lion King. Inside Out takes a unique perspective on a young girl’s move to San Francisco as she is confused and her flaring emotions compete for control of her actions. The movie is fun throughout, with humor driven by stars Amy Poehler and Phyllis Smith who play the girl’s joy and sadness emotions respectively. The movie packs an emotional punch as the young girl struggles to deal with the complete change of scenery, sad and frustrated with her parents for making her essentially restart her life in an unfamiliar place for reasons she can’t completely understand. The look inside the brains of the girl and her parents offer explanations as to why each character acts the way he or she does. The idea risks audience confusion, but is executed perfectly as it is easy to follow and seamlessly transitions in and out of the heads of various characters for multiple first-person perspectives on various situations. Disney does it again with this animated film which is fun and insightful for all ages, leaving audiences laughing hysterically at some moments and emotionally captivated at others.
