They say there’s
nothing new under the sun, but Pixar went and disproved that with Inside
Out. I bet you’ve seen movies about what’s going on inside the mind of an
individual, with Look
Who’s Talking (1989) spearheading the list. But brother/sister,
you ain’t seen the inside of someone’s mind with their emotions having such personalities like this before—trust me (if you
have, I will love to know the movie that has done this before).
When Pixar
made Finding
Nemo (2003), I delayed seeing it because I thought, “A movie about
fish? How good can it be?” But after watching it, I never doubted their
capability again. Here’s another movie I thought might struggle to connect, but
after seeing it, anyone who hesitates or drags their feet to watch it is the
one missing out.
Disney/Pixar’s
15th 3D computer-animated full-length movie, Inside Out, is amazing. Every
moment is intriguing, and the best thing about it is that everything feels
fresh and new. The characters in the mind of the 11-year-old girl, Riley, stay
true to their nature throughout the film. The whole idea of not knowing where
sadness fits in our lives really caught my attention. The movie portrays the
five emotions—Joy, Anger, Fear, Disgust, and Sadness—with accuracy and
likability.
Pixar didn’t
stray from the emotions being themselves, nor did they wander off the idea of
making a good movie while forgetting Disney’s approach of lessons and morals.
The movie plays on all fields. There are lessons to be learned while
watching Inside Out, and there are moral takeaways for everyone, too.
Set in the mind
of a young girl, Riley Anderson, her five basic emotions—Joy, Anger, Disgust,
Fear, and Sadness—must guide her through life as she and her family relocate to
a new city.
The movie’s core
focus is on Joy and Sadness, who get sucked away from the control room in
Riley’s head. Their absence causes Riley to misbehave and lose some of her core
memories. Joy and Sadness now have to make it back to the control room before
Riley is completely lost.
Don’t for a
second think this movie won’t be a hit—it will be a financial success. If
Disney and Pixar decide to make a sequel, it too will be well-received.
You have to go see this movie now. And don’t worry—you don’t need to let your
guard down to enjoy it. It’ll definitely knock you out in the first 10 minutes.
