I got to go see Inside Out today! Hard to believe it's been almost two years since I saw the unfinished dinner scene at the D223 Expo.
I believe I've kept this spoiler free, but feel free to skip over it if you want to.
I couldn't believe how beautiful Lava was! It looked so realistic. I love how Poxar created the characters with natural elements. Very creative! But damn, I thought I was going to start crying. I narrowly missed that one. Although I ended up using those tears later...
I loved the Emotions of Inside Out, and it had some funny punch-lines and creative elements, but I'm disappointed that I didn't love it; it's not my favorite Pixar movie of all time (that title goes to Monsters University). When I left the theater I didn't feel uplifted and happy, I felt just okay. So while I did LIKE it, unfortunately I didn't LOVE it. I don't think what they did to you-know-who was a necessary plot point, and even though I knew it was coming, I bawled sooo bad (like, it was total "ugly" crying). And I think I'm the only person who didn't particularly care for Bing Bong (sorry!). But the visuals were amazing; I think they were Pixar's best yet! Definitely top notch animation. I think the plot dealt with a lot of important issues, and they way they were explained and handled will help a lot of kids and adults; they've certainly helped me already. And I can wait to see more from the Emotions in the future (I simply can't decide which Emotion is my favorite)! They're a fantastic cast of characters and I'm really excited to play with the Inside Out play set this fall!
Can we go see Inside Out 2 now? Those who have seen the movie will know what the second one should be about! *pushes button*
LOL
