Inside Out: Brilliant!!

How do they do it? Again and again? Hollywood is creating new benchmarks in animation, the next surpassing the last. What wonderfully creative ventures that take animation to new levels!

Disney Pixar has brought another jewel out of its kitty. Inside Out is an absolute gem of a movie, entertaining, amusing, reflective and thought provoking. Though ostensibly for youngsters, this film has something for everybody, age notwithstanding.

After all, the five emotions are universal and create havoc in everyone's mind in the same manner that they do in little Riley's mind. And though Joy tries to dominate, how many times we have been controlled by Anger or Disgust or Fear? And how many of us actually revel and find solace in Sorrow? The movie drives home the sweet homily that all emotions need to be in tandem for us to function properly, and even negative emotions are required. 

The visual impact is outstanding; we can actually feel the emotions and touch their impact. The islands, the core memory orbs, the various sections of the mind, the dream factory, excellent! How do they explain such complex psychological topics so simply, in a language that children can relate to? Its a applause-worthy effort, that deserves standing ovation from all cine lovers.
