Inside Out

Pixar is one of those can make you care about anything. A crow, a lamp, and now they make you care about a volcano. When I went to see Inside Out in theatres, I was warned that the movie gets very real on an emotional level and that s lot of people cried during it. No one warned me about the roller coaster that was the Lava Song. I cared about a talking (well, singing) volcano. I shared in his hope and pain and joy. A VOLCANO. Darn you Pixar, for making me almost cry during your short, and right before an entire movie about emotions.

Inside Out follows a portion of the life of a young girl, where her family moves away from her hometown to live in New York. A large portion of the movie takes ace inside the girl's head, where her core emotions of Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust are given personifications. These emotions go about their daily life and essentially "run" the girl.

The movie does a very good job of showing how major life changes, like moving as a child, can alter one's personality, how depression can entirely shut down someone, or how memories change over time. It's a great movie for kids (though a lot will go over their heads), and Pixar never fails to make its movies entertaining for adults as well.

Inside Out is definitely worth going to see. Bring a cuddly friend and some tissues. 

Plus, singing volcanos!

Toodles!
