Alright, I need y’all emotions to calm the f*ck down in that control center
or I’ma go cry loud as hell in the fetal position because of all your sh*t
Thinking about it, Disney Pixar is far from back to form with this film, but have instead entered a whole new shape of imaginative imagery and serious scripting, while completely redesigning their conceptual vision as their newest memory lane of marvelous moviemaking. ‘Inside Out’ is actually quite nostalgic – not as a medium but as a memory from our own childhood – bringing us to a recollection of both individual and collective memories we had with our loved ones and with ourselves. Pixar have always loved to play with our emotions and have now finally decided to make that term literal. If completely invested, experiencing ‘Inside Out’ is like an emotional explosion of vibrant colors, colorful recollections, carefully inserted harmonious melodies and mellow and moving mind-trips through a paralleled (e)motion picture of Riley’s world as well as our own. I was so invested in this movie myself, that during the first few minutes I was already moved to tears of joy, while just moments later, there was a hint of sadness, a tiny bit of anger, a small dose of fear and perhaps a pinch of disgust.
‘Inside Out’ is endlessly imaginative and eternally expressive, putting forward the perfect balance of pretty much every element there is. I love the fun and amusing entertainment it brings, I enjoy the visual and aural experience it is and I like the lingering sense of something serious and the hint of a higher purpose or meaning. I mean, this description does come close to almost all Pixar projects, but what truly projects this picture towards higher powers and leaves it in a possible dangerous freefall, is how it gradually gets darker and more mature. Pixar is often bold but also tend to bail out slightly in the last minutes for pure fear of becoming too dark and depressing. Particularly in recent years, Disney and Pixar have both made a point to pull away from the cute and cuddly comfort zone, insisting more and more on the greater intelligence and understanding of the smallest viewer. The final and possibly fatal conclusive climax to ‘Toy Story 3’ might be one of the best examples, while ‘Inside Out’ actually expands on that aspect and evolves even more as a story than simply a moment.
‘Inside Out’ is an emotional roller-coaster-ride on the train of thought, playing beautifully on the heartstrings and presenting itself as a picturesque visualization of a delightful dream. All the characters are wonderful and might also be the first example of a collection of excellent characters with such “one note personalities”, if you know what I mean. For once, even the comedic relief character was someone to care for and who had an important place and progression in the story that could compensate for his slightly silly set-up. And all in all, every one of these characters are all set up inside an almost over-ambitious and overwhelming original vision, filled with amusing references and clever humor. The movie just has so much to say with so many layers between so many elements inside so many themes and build around all these emotions. I mean, it’s hard not to get your emotions going about what's going on about the emotions in this film, you know? With my first watch of this, I haven't felt this exhausted, drained and invested in a movie since forever. Indeed, ‘Inside Out’ was one of those movies for me… one of those movies that just stays there, like a core memory…

. I don't like it quite as much as you but i do think it is excellent and agree with just about everything you said. After watching Finding Dory the other day i have it as my sixth favourite Pixar, the only one i haven't watched is Cars 2.
