» The new Pixar animation Inside Out has opened in the US to a hearty reception (Bangkok has to wait until next month). The box office has been stellar — it racked up the highest opening gross in history for an original feature, i.e. not a sequel or remake — while critics have sung praises to the joyful braininess of the story. Inside Out takes place inside a girl's head, with the main characters the five emotions (Joy, Fear, Sadness, Anger, Disgust). Their adventures, through the colourful cerebrum, becomes a story about the happiness and anxiety of adolescent life. It's just July, but an early buzz for an Oscar's Best Picture nomination has already been heard.

Mitsuha in a small rural town becomes Taki, and Taki in Tokyo becomes Mitsuha. Then time bends, souls migrate, the sky bursts, and the painful transience of love pushes and pulls the two high-schoolers in a conspiracy of stars (and quantum physics, maybe).
