When I first saw the trailer for Inside Out, I thought it was a cheesy movie that wasn't worth seeing, and it is the film I have left until its last day in the cinema to see. How wrong I was! Inside Out is a unique and wonderful that is so creative, I have never seen anything else like it. 
:bademoticon: The perfect emotion for this!

To summarise the plot (something that I'm not good at. I like to explain the whole story and keep writing for ages, but I can't reveal too many spoilers for those who have not seen it.) Inside Out is about a young girl named Riley, or more specifically, her personified six main emotions-Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust. They live inside her mind- a vast world with the Headquarters as the main place where the emotions live and affect Riley's life. Joy has been Riley's first, most important and leading emotion for all her life. That is, until she if forced to move to San Francisco, into a dirty old house, and a new school. These events upset her so much that Joy and Sadness are removed from the Headquarters, leaving Anger, Fear and Disgust as her only active emotions. Joy and Sadness have to work together while going on a dangerous journey back to the Headquarters to make Riley happy again, with an unexpected helper along the way. There are many odd concepts and areas they explore-such as the Personality Islands, which represent important areas of Riley's life that she loves (Family, Friends, Hockey) Long Term Memory, which is lots of curved shelves with memories stored in them, and Abstract Thought, a blank area where bizarre things gradually happen to the characters while they are in there. Riley's memories are reprsented by glowing glass orbs, yellow if they are happy or blue if they are sad. 

Here's my own random writing about this movie. Coincidentally, while Riley's mum rung her phone twice and didn't answer, the same thing happened to me while I was watching the movie! And a minor spoiler, you get to see inside other characters' minds, including that of animals. It's very fascinating.

I highly recommend watching this movie. It surprised me with how engrossing, exciting, and wonderful the story and ideas are, but the thing I love most about it is the creativity! There are no cliches in Inside Out, and I recommend to anyone who is reading this. It shows that every emotion has its place in a way that is easy to understand.
When the movie was finished, I was thinking about what my own personified (or dragonified, rather- my emotions are likely to take on dragon form!) look like. So I will finish this with four words: go see Inside Out!

Love it :-)
But I found a few problems
1. Their are 5 emmotions, you put 6
2. They wernt force out of the headquarters, sadness made a misstake and Joy wanted to fix it
3. Their are cliches, like boys being dumb (Youtube clip by disney-Rillys first date. Google it)
