Inside Out

So Inside Out is very good - completely charming, imaginatively interesting and sophisticated in its metaphorically literal rendition of the inside of a mind, and affecting. Amy Poehler is the perfect Joy (because she is a joy), while Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust all also come to life amidst Riley's wonderfully realised psychological landscape. And it kind of got to me, in a way that was unexpected because the poignancy was so well integrated with the colour and fancy; after all, it is about emotions.
