Inside Out ticks all these boxes without a shadow of a doubt.
The animation is wonderful as usual and is arguably Pixar's most colourful film to date. The concept of emotions can be complex at the best of times. It's a concept that most people will struggle with for their whole lives and is something that will truly never be understood. Inside Out tackles this with aplomb, using colour coding to make it accessible to kids, and exploring just how complicated feelings can become especially as puberty begins to hit. It's very clever in its execution as well.
The majority of the story takes place in Riley's head, as her emotions Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust all struggle to keep everything balanced as she starts to hit roadblocks in her life. One thing leads to another before Joy and Sadness are ejected out of the "control centre" and desperately try to find their way back, leaving the other emotions to handle the pains of growing up.
It's one part emotional family drama, and one part bonkers sci-fi adventure, and it works really well with the help of a great voice cast.
Inside Out doesn't quite hit the lofty heights of the best Pixar efforts for me, but it's still damn good and surely will appeal to everyone in some way, no matter what age your are.

I was happy to return to Buffalo in December 1942 to visit with Betty again. This book really brought the time period to life with the little details of life during World War II for those at home. I did have to remind myself of the different time and Betty’s age during some of her interactions with others, especially her parents. Having said that, I did like seeing how the characters are growing, especially her relationships with her parents. I found the beginning of the book slow, I think because Betty needed time to make the connection that would drive the plot, but once she did I was hooked. One red herring wasn’t completely wrapped up, but I was still mostly satisfied with the solution to the mystery. I’m looking forward to visiting with Betty again soon.
