This film was directed by Pete Docter and Ronaldo Del Carmen. Opening so close to the opening of Jurassic World did not hurt this film in anyway. This film's story is heavily within the psychological field of emotions and how the brain operates. The full impact of the story might go over children audiences head, but will be great of adults. There is enough general story with humor and heartfelt sadness that children audiences can still enjoy the film. In many ways this is a perfect film for families facing life challenges and find it difficult to communicate. Even though Riley is the main human character, the story actually follows the five primary emotions that are working inside her head. The transitional conflict story, and how the emotions work to handle it, is a very unique plot that is full of humor, sadness, and some dark moments. (None of it is too frightening though) Seeing Riley's thoughts offered a great perspective; however, temporarily viewing the parents emotions during an argument was a bit much (even though it worked for the film). But, that is not to say that I didn't enjoy the ending credits sequence. I think its a great film that offers audiences some psychological questions about themselves. I also enjoyed the jokes about future transitions. There is a lot of creative measures used in this film that range from abstract to imaginary. Amy Poehler voiced that character Joy. What made this character unique is that even though she was primarily Joy, she was adaptable to different emotions and situations. The story follows her learning alongside Riley. I even found the character more interesting that she is the only non-solid color emotion in this film. Phyllis Smith voiced the character Sadness. In another unique turn, Sadness is not seen as bad. Even if she might be difficult to watch, she is still treated as important to life. Kaitlyn Dias voiced the character Riley. She was great at presenting these emotions as they arose.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! This is a unique film that'll open families to new perspectives.
This film can be seen in theaters!
Pixar's opening short, for this film, was Lava. This is one of the few, if not the first, original to have its story told through music. It was surprisingly emotional. It also looked lovely on screen.
I give this this short 5 out of 5 stars! It is a great love story to open for the main feature.
