Inside Out

Saturday night I checked out the "dollar" theater again to finally see the Pixar summer-hit Inside Out. The film is incredibly clever and lots of fun. I love the concept of different personality traits as actual figures in our head trying to work together. Joy, voiced by Amy Poehler, is the one in charge, but she has to work with Anger, Disgust, Fear and, rather importantly, Sadness (who is perfectly voiced by Phyllis from The Office) to make Riley a functioning person.

This movie is a such a delight and really hits all the important aspects of being a person - joy, anger, disgust, fear and sadness, along with core memories, imagination land, dream world, personality islands. It also gives a little insight into the crazy life for pre-teens and teens - their emotions are just all over the place! It definitely a tough time (a few of my nieces and nephews are teenagers now, and dang was there a change when they hit 13!).

Definitely see this movie.

We LOVE this movie. We saw it twice in the theater & have since seen it at least a dozen times. It holds up! I have repeatedly cried at the end. There are so many funny lines. Belle even had an "Inside out" themed birthday this year. Love this movie! One quote we say all the time "I would die for Riley!" 😂
