When Riley, the girl our chosen group of emotions calls home, moves to a new city she ends up in a bad state of mind. Sadness ends being blamed by the other emotions due to this, which of course makes her, you guessed it, sad. An accident makes Joy and Sadness end up lost in another part of Riley's brain, making things even worse as the remaining three emotions are forced to do the jobs of the missing duo, to disastrous results. As the lost emotions journey home we get to experience more of the whimsical world existing in the girl's brain, and are treated to lots more clever gags. Joy eventually begins to realize the importance of sorrow in a persons life, and that Sadness is the only one who can help Riley this time. It's quirky, its heartwarming, its unlike any other animated movie ever made. It's far and away the best thing Pixar has ever done. (or probably ever will do) red: This movie is Pixar creativity at its best. A unique take on human emotions and a very clever and interesting world inside Riley's head. While some of the emotions obviously get a lot more screentime than others, there simply is very little not to like about this movie. Its a fantastic take on how your emotions grow and change as you get older, and how even things like sadness, while feeling bad, are important building blocks for who you become as a person as long as you take the positives. This is fun, ambitious movie and probably easily the most creative movie on the list. Ermine: Honestly, the only thing keeping this movie from being one of my top 5 favorite animated films is its first third. Sadness is one of the most annoying and frustrating characters to start out and while her actions are what drive the beginning of the plot, she is still insufferable and mostly makes the first third of this movie just kind of meh. But then Bing Bong is introduced and holy moly the movie does a complete 180 and literally from the moment of his introduction the film is amazing all the way to the end. The humor goes up drastically and even Sadness starts to become a likable character. I'm guessing it's because Bing Bong's amazingness rubs off on her. The whole scene where they are trying to wake up Riley with the happy/scary dream is actually fantastic and always makes me laugh out loud, particularly when Bing Bong just jumps into the fray. And then this movie also has the award of having the fucking saddest moment in all of anything for me. I cried like a freaking baby at Bing Bong's "death". It was just animated too well and the voice actor for Bing Bong just nailed the performance. I've seen this movie a few times now and I will cry literally every time I watch this scene because it just completely breaks my heart. I was in the theaters with my friends when I watched this for the first time and I still cried like a little bab. Does being ultra sad and emotional about something make you enjoy a film more? Absolutely. For an animated film to make you care so incredibly much about a character you've only seen for all of 30 minutes is actually astounding. There's so much other stuff about the film that's great but I know everyone else will cover it. I miss Bing Bong ;_; Snake: Ingenious concept, amazing characters, gorgeous animation, great jokes, what more can you really ask for? Its just clever moment after clever moment in this one, and pretty much pitch-perfectly describes what a little girl moving to a new town would go through. --- :> Truly smilin' ...
