The now only lady remaining in my Discord group from RPGMMag, Luna, has chosen Inside Out for our animated/anime movie for tonight.
I am normally averse to seeing animated movies outside of the anime art style and culture (as much as I actually despise most of the anime I have seen since leaving my teenage years - I just will always love some aspects of the culture such as the music and the fact that anime girls are the cutest
), but Inside Out was surprisingly engaging and insightful, I thought. Basically it had to do with illustrating human emotions a person is capable of as individual creatures inside of the mind, and how they interact with each other, and I thought the metaphors and analogies shown therein were really cleverly executed. When a conflict happened in the main character Riley's mind that resulted in her capacity for Joy and Sadness being ejected into the desolated regions of her mind, to where she could no longer feel them, and the only emotions left at the controls were inherently negative such as Anger, Fear, and Disgust - thus they did not know how to handle Riley's day to day life thanks to any positive emotions to counterbalance them being absent, I actually found myself genuinely caring about Riley's fate, whether she was ever going to return to normal or sadly, completely self-destruct. The animation quality itself isn't on par with, say, The Lion King (which I think is overrated due seemingly solely to its high-quality animation and hardly any other aspects that can be judged), but I really liked it.
I recommend Inside Out, overall.
Even the humor was mostly on point, which is a pretty rare compliment paid from me in these kinds of movies.
