Inside Out is normally what I expect to hear when the occasional regional TV programme is about to be broadcast.
In this case, it’s a new Pixar film where growing up can be a bumpy road, and it’s no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life.
As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.
I generally avoid CGI kids films, but then I saw that comedian and Daily Show regular Lewis Black is in it!
The rest of the cast includes Diane Lane, Amy Poehler, Kyle MacLachlan, Mindy Kaling, Bill Hader and Phyllis Smith.
Inside Out is released in the UK on July 24th 2015.
