Pixar’s latest execution of brilliance is Inside Out. It’s getting more than its
fair share of praise and accolades, most of which is justified. Is it their
best film since Up, as many have
deemed it? Probably, but then we’re really only talking about a stretch of two
films in that time, both of which were very good even if they aren’t up to the
excellent standard Pixar is renowned for. This feat of genuine creativity and
acrobatic storytelling concerns the machinations (both literal and figurative)
of Riley, who winds up being a secondary character in the story of her own
mind. She is subordinate to, and to some extent controlled by the anthropomorphic
representations of emotions in her head.
