Easily one of Pixar's best films. The sheer depth of this movie was astounding. The story line is simplistic but all the characters are written with such complexity and honesty that the story line becomes more than simplistic as the movie progresses forward. The idea itself it completely out there: giving emotions a persona - this shouldn't work but Pixar pulls it off and builds a movie unlike any I have seen before. Proving, what my brother and I having been saying for a long time, if you make good characters no matter how insane or crazy an idea or movie becomes - the characters will easily move the story line forward and the audience will respond to the characters not the utter chaotic idea or what happens with in the movie. Characters or lack of characters will either make or break a story.
Down to the visual elements (which are astounding) and production design of a person's mind (which are simply put breath taking) everything about this movie elevates it beyond just a movie. It's a story about going up. Going from a simple mindset of emotions from childhood into the teenage years of complex emotions is handled with such intelligence and humor but yet in an honest way. Everything about this movie is believable even what goes on inside a person's head but what goes on outside the head only adds to what happens inside a person's head. From how the emotional characters interact and evolve as the child moves through the tangled web of growing up. It all feels so real.
Just when I was thinking Pixar was starting to loose it way with it's last few movies Inside Out proves once again they aren't in any way slowing down.
