In my business of Voiceovers I've often said to clients meet the little voices inside my head...well in 2015 that's exactly what Pixar set out to explore with "Inside Out".
It's a very clever film from the creators of "Up" (still one of my fave animations).
In this highly original movie young "Riley" is uprooted from her Midwest USA life and moved to San Francisco.
We get to meet her emotions - Joy (Amy Pohler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phylis Smith) as they conflict on how best to navigate all the changes: a new city, house, friends and school, even a disgusting pizzeria that serves Broccoli on pizza dough.
Peter Docter is the genius behind "Inside Out" both directing and co-writing this production.
The damn thing won an oscar and had over 100 nominations in other awards!
This movie even made me like Richard Kind as "Bing Bong", "Riley's" imaginary friend from her younger years.
Let's face it growing up can be bumpy for all of us and that makes this movie even more relatable.
Throughout life we are guided by our emotions and we don't always make good choices.
One of the things I loved about this movie is it acknowledges the power of Sadness...showing it's ok to be sad...it doesn't necessarily mean you are depressed, just that Joy isn't always in control.
Watch for: the end credits when we get an insight into how everyone (even cats & dogs) have a control centre in their minds headquarters.
"Inside Out" will make you laugh, cry and sigh.
If so it's done it's job on so many levels in this adventure, animation, comedy.
Do yourself a favour and check out the sequel "Inside Out 2" a stand alone movie, but it always helps to see the OG first.
