Movie review: 'Inside Out'

There are reasons for people’s loyalty to certain brands. Apple knows style and marketing; Taco Bell knows how to combine one food with another food, add some cheese and call it something new; Pixar knows emotions. Not to sound like a Buzzfeed headline, but if you were lucky enough to grow up in the ’90s, you got to see Pixar’s growth in storytelling, moving from straightforward childhood tales (“Toy Story 1 and 2,” “Monsters Inc.”) to the questions brought up in teenage years (The teens in “The Incredibles,” Linguini in “Ratatouille”) to spinning its creative wheels (“Cars 1 and 2”) and now, parenting (the maternal “Brave”). “Inside Out” opens the floor to that age-old question parents have when their kids transition from being wide-eyed, wonderful rascals to angsty preteens, by breaking emotions into characters: the pixie-cut, exuberant Joy (Amy Poehler), the delightfully grouchy Anger (Lewis Black), the sullen Sadness (Phyllis Smith), the cautious Fear (Bill Hader) and the snobby Disgust (Mindy Kaling). These emotions inhabit the expansive, intricate mind of Riley (newcomer Kaitlyn Dias), a girl whose life is quickly changed when her family uproots itself and moves to a dingy, cramped home in San Francisco. The emotions have several jobs, the most important being operating the grand control booth in Riley’s head, as well as sorting through the day’s memories (divided into different colors), keeping some as core memories (the experiences that define who she is), while others are sent to the endless, colorful labyrinth of the long-term memory base. As you would expect when it comes to a child’s emotions, it’s complicated.Read more on NewsOK.com
