Our take on Inside Out

Pixar's 2015 marvel takes place inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl, where five personified emotions — Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust — steer her through a painful move. Inventive and quietly wise, it makes the radical case that sadness has its purpose too. If its imagination and emotional intelligence moved you, the great Pixar films and heartfelt animated dramas share its gift for turning big feelings into unforgettable stories.
