Inside Out 2015

After dabbling in a few films that can merely be described as "very good," Pixar appear to have reverted to expectations and produced another masterpiece. Whilst the plot may well suggest another mismatched duo on a journey to discover they really need each other, this would do a tremendous disservice to what is frankly one of the most interesting and brilliantly conceived concepts that Pixar have ever done. With the film essentially taking place inside the mind of an 11-year old child and her emotions as the central characters, what astounds is not simply the concept, but how well the filmmakers have developed the inner workings of the mind and its development through childhood to the point that it feels so accurate, they could show this to students in lecture halls as well as cinemas. This is a film that practically demands repeat viewings and any film that can depict abstract thought and the subconscious ("It's where they keep all the troublemakers"). in such an entertaining manner deserves it. Pixar is going to struggle to top this one!
