While I don’t agree with pundits who are championing Inside Out as Pixar’s greatest film, I did love it and thought it was definitely a return to form for Pixar. The ideas on display were visually arresting, the story had a great theme and strong character arc, and the ending was powerful.
Richard Kind absolutely stole the show with his voice talent as Bing Bong. Who knew an imaginary elephant could be my favorite character out of the all the clever creatures? Some of the other voice talents were honestly a little bit generic and more of a letdown for me. Not terrible but just kind of uninspired. A few of the jokes fell flatter than they should have as well.
Despite these small gripes, Inside Out is great and absolutely worth your time.
