One sentence review:
Inside Out is a very unorthodox concept in its child-friendly explorations of the mind and thanks to the warmth that the characters, both human and emotions, provide along with thought-provoking drama of how we live today, Inside Out is Pixar's most original film to date and celebrates their achievements in its 20th year.
