However, I feel like the characters in the psyche are really just a gateway for normal people to ease into the messages the movie makes. While those characters are enjoyable, I feel they downplay things. That being said, the movie is very well-done with some great emotional moments. scarlet: I feel torn on Inside Out. Get out of the way of the fundamentals of moviemaking masterfully on display here; the message is a little too convenient and ultimately kind of misleading. Lets not pretend that every emotion is positive. The depiction of Sadness is in fact so utterly irritating that one would wonder if lobotomies arent the way to go. However, so much of the style in this film is able to hide this substance that I found it enjoyable. Like most journeys, the heros pitfalls are learning experiences, and the various sensations of loss and sadness (ironically) throughout the film keep the stakes realistic to the audience. However, the character of Sadness is so pitifully inept that it blows the door off of the moral to this story and keeps me from allowing this film to reach the coveted upper echelon of Pixar films. Sadness actually is the poster child for the opposite moral of this story. Its a reversal of its own goal; the human mind has constantly fallen prey to its basest instincts, and as someone who has suffered from depression, Sadness is easily the most awful emotion available. Mix it with this evolutionary reject that Inside Out touts as a valuable part of the human mind, and the movie is a propaganda piece against itself. Rating: 71/100 Genny: So here it is. Joy is my least favorite Pixar protagonist (not counting Mater because sequels). Strangely enough as badly as she puts down poor Sadness and even the other emotions she doesn't severely impact my enjoyment (ha) of Inside Out. It's weird because Sadness and Bing Bong aside I don't really feel like other characters elevate her to relatable levels. Bing Bong was... not my cup of tea but he contributes to the best scene in the movie by far so all is forgiven. Also I'm putting this out there the other emotions are annoying. I was far more vested in Riley and her family as characters, but what Riley's head lacks in great characters it makes up for in setting. That was some great world building. --- :> Truly smilin' ...
