Inside Out

Eleven-year-old Riley’s interior emotional life is managed by five personified emotions — Joy Fear Anger Disgust and Sadness — working from Headquarters inside her mind. When Riley’s family moves from Minnesota to San Francisco Joy and Sadness are accidentally separated and must journey through the vast landscape of Riley’s mind to get back. Pete Docter’s Pixar masterpiece is a genuine achievement — an adventure story that is also a profound meditation on why sadness is not the enemy of happiness but an essential partner to it.
