Inside Out has enough good psychology to make it a great discussion film for parents and children; it also has enough goofiness to keep it from ever becoming too heavy-handed.  Its visual forebears include everything from 1939’s The Wizard of Oz, 1953’s The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T., the 1953 Merrie Melodies cartoon “Duck Amuck” and The Bell Laboratory Science Series of animated TV specials from the 50s and 60s.  (It also reminded me of that forgettable 90s Fox TV sitcom “Herman’s Head”, but the least said about that, the better.)  Read full review.
