Inside Out, 3.5 Stars

This is a very good movie and has received superb reviews. Some critics have described it as an 'instant Classic' (I have difficulty with that oxymoron and, to me, only time will tell...).

The conceptual and writing staff of Disney / Pixar are to be commended for the development of this film. We took our granddaughters to this, and while it is an animated feature and held a child's attention, the story really is for adults.

This is about the inner workings of the mind. I would be interested in the thought processes that conceived this and put the script all together. A worthwhile debate could be conducted (and perhaps was) about which emotions to feature, which core memories should be significant, and which 'islands' of personality are important, etc.

I find that actor's voices are often hard to identify in animation and so I won't, with one exception - the voice of 'Sadness' (by Phyllis Smith) and the accompanying drawings are very touching.

I'm sure I will see this movie several more times and I recommend it to you highly.
