Some of the small handful of critics not bowled over by the movie have found fault as such - Ben Sachs of the Chicago Reader said it вЂњfeels like a clever educational short stretched to feature length.вЂќ On the most obvious level, the film provides a sort of basic vocabulary for children (and their parents) to talk about their emotions and what theyвЂ™re going through. Yet the filmвЂ™s value goes much further than pure entertainment, perhaps more than any film Pixar have made to date. The result, which take our heroes -plus RileyвЂ™s long-lost imaginary friend Bing Bong, a part elephant, part cat, part dolphin creation made of cotton candy and voiced by Richard Kind, who stops the film from falling entirely back on the buddy formula that the studio can sometimes use as a crutch- throughout RileyвЂ™s mind from Abstract Thought to Imagination Land, is able to match PixarвЂ™s best for gags, excitement and sheer adventure. This frustrates Joy, who in her good-natured way tries to keep her enclosed in a вЂњcircle of sadness,вЂќ but it doesnвЂ™t work: the blue emotion makes Riley cry in front of her new schoolmates, creating a new core memory, and when Joy tries to dispose of it, both she and Sadness are accidentally ejected into the depths of RileyвЂ™s mind, leaving Fear, Anger and Disgust at the helm.

Things seem to be getting worse when the main story of вЂњInside OutвЂќ picks up: Sadness keeps touching, even tainting, RileyвЂ™s memories, which she canвЂ™t explain or even control.

Sadness doesnвЂ™t do anything, She occasionally sneaks onto the controls governing Riley when no oneвЂ™s looking and makes her cry, but for the most part she just hangs around, being kind of a bummer. Joy sees the value in some of her colleagues -Fear stops Riley from getting hurt, Disgust forms her taste, first in food and then in fashion and social skills. Joy has been essentially in charge since day one, looking over the various complex elements that drive Riley, most notably the formation and storage of memories, with вЂњcoreвЂќ memories going on to drive вЂњislandsвЂќ that form her personality - Friendship, Family, Honesty, Goofball and Hockey (the latter probably seems a little odd to most, until you think of how many of us reading this have a Cinema island in our heads somewhere). Her turmoil is shown literally through the emotions that drive her: Joy ( Amy Poehler), Sadness ( Phyllis Smith), Fear ( Bill Hader), Anger ( Lewis Black) and Disgust ( Mindy Kaling). The filmвЂ™s story follows Riley ( Kaitlyn Dias), an eleven-year-old girl whose happy, uncomplicated life is thrown into chaos when she leaves her friends behind due to herВ family moving from Minnesota to San Francisco. Many fans, including myself, believe вЂњInside OutвЂќ to be among the very best of the studioвЂ™s output, but the film isnвЂ™t just a great one -itвЂ™s also a potentially important one. Oscar buzz is already circulating for Pete Docter and Ronnie Del CarmenвЂ™s n early universally acclaimedВ film, marking a return to PixarвЂ™s glory days.

The success has likely been led by the glowing reviews. After a few underwhelming years with вЂњ Monsters University,вЂќ вЂњ BraveвЂќ and вЂњ Cars 2,вЂќ Pixar returned this past weekend with вЂњ Inside Out.вЂќ And what a return it was: with $91 million in just three days, the film racked up PixarвЂ™s second best opening ever and its best opening for an original movie.
