Review of Inside Out (2015) by Tanner B — 06 May 2016

Inside Out (2015) ???

Lively, sharp animated Pixar feature about a young girl named Riley, who moves to San Francisco, and her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness - conflict on how best to navigate a new city, new house, and a new school. A far-out premise is made enjoyable thanks to some widely inventive (and often hilarious) characters and situations. Major flaw: the physical appearance of the main character, Joy, is unappealing, and her personality is uninspired, forgettable. Still there is much to admire, like the exuberance of its story, and the brilliant production design. This won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Another winner from Disney.
