Like I said in my review of The Good Dinosaur, I thought Pixar lost their magic touch. However, six months ago, Disney/Pixar's Inside Out, which is already claimed a masterpiece, premiered in theaters and got glowing reviews. Directed by Pete Doctor, who also directed Monsters Inc and Up, Inside Out tells the story of what goes inside the head of an 11-year-old girl named Riley Anderson. Riley's emotions, Joy (Amy Pohler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), and Anger (Lewis Black), help Riley out through her lifetime. When her family moves from Minnesota to San Francisco, California, Riley spirals into depression and cries in front of her new classmates. Things get worse when Joy and Sadness get sucked into the labyrinth of long-term memory, and without Joy, Riley can't be happy. Inside Out of Pixar's most original movie since Up and their best since Toy Story 3. And since this is about emotions, expect the movie to get emotional at times.
