‘Inside Out’

Stunningly original.

Inside Out is intelligent, important, on the mark – and incredibly funny (the abstract thought corridor is extraordinary). I’ve not laughed at a film screening like this for a very long time – but also walked away impressed by the relevance, cleverness, creativity and emotional intelligence.

It has the pizzazz and colour to appeal to kids, but it’s adults who get the full benefit  – Inside Out works on so many levels. Pixar must have had a team of psychologists working with them on this.

Oscar winner for best animation, surely – but at least a nomination for best original screenplay?

Nominated for 2 Oscars – best animation and best original screenplay. Won for best animation.
