    Inside the Pixar mind

    Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 03/07/2015

    » 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.
