Inside Out was an awesome movie to study. The production backstory is loaded with some strange twists, there are animation innovations, and some eye popping numbers involved in the specs. Plus, we could not have picked a more fitting Rule in the 22 Rules of Pixar Storytelling.

Inside Out proved to be a loaded movie review. We do have some qualms with the film after having had unrealistically high expectations for the re-watch. But there’s so much to enjoy during the study of the film that we must appreciate both how high concept and how narratively and dramatically complex this story is. We also have a lot of fun pretending this film could take place in our own heads, and we ask you, our audience to share in that fun with what will become a bonkers Twitter Question we unveil here.

Mike and I will continue our Pixar re-watch with the other 2015 release The Good Dinosaur next. Then we’ll review Coco and the three Cars movies before we dive into the Toy Story sequels 2 & 3 before the release of 4 in late June.

We’re also debuting our Tarantino re-watch series, we hope, later this week, and we have a bonafide Oscars film coming out this Thursday with Rocketman from Dexter Fletcher and star, Taron Edgerton. So stay tuned. It’s another loaded Pixar series re-watch review for you here, and we have another loaded week of podcasts for you here at MMO.

Send us your responses to our question from the end of the Cast & Crew section. We’ll happily read your responses on our next MMO Weekly.
