Inside Out (2015 Pete Docter, with Ronnie Del Carmen)

What a fabulous idea - the story was by Pete and Ronnie, the screenplay by Pete, Meg LeFauve and Josh Cooley, and voices Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation, playing Joy) and Bill Hader (Fear) provided additional dialogue. Could almost be used in an educational way - not just for kids, either.

There's even a Chinatown reference!

Loved the moment where we suddenly see in to the parents' brains - leading to much fun in outtakes (particularly the one featuring cats).

The animation is now so good you hardly notice it any more. Then you're looking at hair or a street scene and you suddenly think - Christ! it's animated. The way mother (Diane Lane) moves is particularly realistic. Phyllis Smith (the US The Office) is Sadness, Kyle Maclachlan is Dad, Richard Kind (Curb, A Serious Man) is Bing Bong.

Deep.
