Inside Out (2015)
I saw this with someone on Friday and it was an absolute blast, easily my favorite Pixar original since Wall-E (sorry Up). The animation in both the real world and Riley's head was beautiful and quite striking, but incredibly colorful. The story was really well paced and had a kind of Dr. Suess style to its delivery about of a message that isn't always easy to get across, in this case that sadness is a necessary emotion. I mean it's not like kids movies never dealt with that before, but I think it was always just shown and then left to the parents to explain why Bambi's mom had to die, but in this case the movie actually goes into it. It was also incredibly imaginative with how it depicts the inner workings of the mind, with some clever analogies and some hilarious scenes, like how dreams are just made by a production studio. In fact, the only thing I didn't like about this movie was the short film "Lava" played at the beginning, that was absolute sh it and completely played against the lesson the actual film was supposed to teach. That said, if that's the only complaint then the film is doing pretty fu cking well in that regard and it's nice to see Pixar back on top after a few scant years of anything really compelling.
