Every Pixar Movie Ranked From Worst To Best
4. Inside Out
Inside Out remains one of the most fiercely ambitious Pixar movies to date, shifting away from more familiar thematics to tackle concepts almost never broached in films aimed at children: sadness as part of the human condition and the notion that "negative" feelings shouldn't be repressed.
It's a wonderfully mature and forward-thinking message to slip into an animated film that also doesn't forget to be a bundle of fun, exploring the nebulous nature of the human kind with creativity and humour.
A sure return to all-timer greatness after three OK-to-good movies in Cars 2, Brave, and Monsters University, Inside Out matches its bold storytelling with a surreal, breathtaking animated exploration of the psyche that continually one-ups itself.
The entire vocal cast is fantastic, though the sure stand-outs are Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, and Richard Kind as Joy, Sadness, and Bing Bong respectively.
As Pixar's most recent masterpiece, it sets a high bar that they've struggled to meet ever since.
