Inside Out with Mindy Kaling and Jonas Rivera
- This is a past program
Pixar’s 15th computer-animated feature is its smartest and most original since the company merged with Disney a decade ago. The characters of Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust carry out an existential rescue mission in the mind of a rural teenager struggling with the alienating effects of a big city move. Another of the studio’s exceptionally well-cast vocal ensembles delivers a mix of quick-witted comedy and family values that has cross-generational appeal. The film’s modernist landscapes of the mind are richly imagined; in particular "abstract thought" and "memory dump," which are the stuff from which lasting memories of childhood movie-going are made. With Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Phyllis Smith, Diane Lane, Kyle MacLachlan, Kaitlyn Dias, Richard Kind.
A Q&A with actor Mindy Kaling and producer Jonas Rivera follows the screening, moderated by KPCC FilmWeek critic Claudia Puig.
Inside Out. 2015. USA. Directed by Pete Docter. 94 min. Courtesy of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
