Let's be honest, who doesn't love a good Pixar film?
Whether it be Brave, Up, or Toy Story (we all know you've cried at least one of those) the Pixar/Disney combo really knows how to tug on those heart strings. They make us laugh, cry and smile because for a moment we are brought such a contented happiness we are almost overwhelmed.
In this particular movie, Riley is an eleven year old girl who's parents have decided to move from Minnesota to San Francisco, California. Riley has been very happy most of her life due to the fact that in her head Joy is in control of things. However, when Sadness begins to mess around with the Core Memories, Riley becomes very distressed. Things go so wrong in fact that Joy and Sadness fall away from Riley's little emotional control center only to leave Anger, Disgust and Fear in control. (Explaining where pre-teen angst comes from.)
I believe my favorite part of the film is when Joy discovers that without Sadness, Riley and everyone in general could not be happy. The fact that the movie delicately presents the idea that it sometimes takes reaching your lowest point to reach your highest points is something that touches in with my own personal beliefs and I believe with many others as well.
The filmed is expertly crafted in a way only Pixar and Disney can. Explaining why people are the way they are in a humorous and entertaining way, this movie is delightful in every way. From it's highs to it's lows, parents and kids alike are enraptured. If you haven't made your way to a theater yet to see it, I highly suggest it.
Seriously, even if you're not into the whole Pixar feelings thing, they poke fun at Canadian pre-teen boy crushes. What's not to love?
