INSIDE OUT REVIEW

*MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*
People have said that this is Disney/Pixar's best film and I agree. The tagline states 'Meet The Little Voices In Your Head' and that summarises the film. The film focuses on a 11 year old girl named Riley who has just moved to San Francisco and the conflict between the five emotions (Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear and Anger) as they try to handle being at a new school and new house.
I think that this is a very clever idea and I can't understand why no one has thought of it before. The target audience for this film is younger children but I think that teenagers and even adults will enjoy it. It does a great job at explaining why you sometimes feel happy one minute and then sad the next. It is a film that everyone will be able to relate to. I definitely felt myself relating to Sadness. When Riley starts her first day of school, Sadness takes over and this is where things begin to go wrong. Joy doesn't want Riley feeling sad on her first day of school and tries to stop Sadness but they both end up being sucked through a tube and finding themselves Riley's long term memory and must get back to the control room. This leaves Disgust, Fear and Anger in control of Riley's emotions which causes conflict between her and her parents. Will Joy and Sadness be able to get back? You'll just have to watch and see.
The voices include: Amy Poehler as Joy; Phyllis Smith as Sadness; Mindy Kaling as Disgust; Bill Hader as Fear and Lewis Black as Anger. All five actors are great as their emotions, especially Amy. She has such a joyful voice which makes her perfect for Joy.
If you are a fan of Disney/Pixar films, I can guarantee you'll love this film. I would also recommend it to people who have a hard time explaining how they feel as this gives a great understanding of how the mind, metaphorically, works.
Definitely Disney/Pixar's best film.
8/10
