The Pixar magic returned in full force with this delightful, intelligent and moving look at the inner workings of one young girl’s mind and the emotions that govern her. Featuring some of the best voice acting in recent memory – Amy Poehler as Joy, Lewis Black as Anger, Bill Hader as Fear and Richard Kind as imaginary friend Bing Bong, among others - writer/directors Pete Docter and Ronnie Del Carmen succeeded in making a film of universal appeal as Riley’s reactions to the changing world around her are instantly relatable, as are the shifting emotions she feels and the resistance towards the pull to adulthood. A film for the ages, this may prove to be the movie Pixar is ultimately remembered for. See also
