Pete Docter has always been my favourite Pixar director. I feel like he doesn't get the limelight as often as the others, but his movies (Monsters Inc, Up, Inside Out, and Soul) I think go considerably deeper than the rest of the Pixar catalogue as far as offering tender and humanizing insights about people and relationships.
- beerandt 5y agoThe first minutes of Up stands up on its own as a masterpiece. But Inside Out might be the only Pixar movie that I actively dislike. Any other is at worst an indifferent "meh".
- mikepurvis 5y agoInteresting, well... you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but the overwhelming critical and general consensus is that Inside Out is wonderful: https://www.metacritic.com/movie/inside-out-2015/critic-reviews https://www.metacritic.com/movie/inside-out-2015/critic-revi... And quite apart from that, I was intrigued that when my 10yo daughter went to see a therapist, she was asked if she'd seen Inside Out. Not necessarily because it's an in any way accurate depiction of the mind, but as a jumping off point for a discussion about the experiences that form our identity ("core memories") and how those can evolve over time as we get older.
