Inside Out (2015)
Country: US
Technical: col 94m
Director: Pete Docter, Ronaldo Del Carmen
Cast: Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Richard Kind
Synopsis:
A little girl's emotions reach crisis point when her family transplants from Minnesota to San Francisco, which we witness from inside her brain as her shaken pysche struggles to stop itself from falling apart altogether.
Review:
One of the first animated productions of its type in a long time to eschew a heavily named cast of voices, Pixar's answering shot to Up, its own film about the pangs of old age, turns instead to the growing pains of childhood, and elaborates a famous Woody Allen sketch into a whole movie. The results are superb, affording plenty of adult laughter alongside the cute sentiment and moderate peril. The lesson, that sometimes a bit of sadness is necessary to build the bridges necessary for self-repair, is nicely carried, and no opportunity is missed for exploiting the central conceit to the full, from long-term memory to the subconscious and oblivion. Finally, for once the additional material interspersed through the credits is an hilarious extension of the emotional colour scheme used during the film to other specimens.
