FILM: Inside Out 3D (dirs: Pete Docter, Ronnie del Carmen, 2015)

"Think positive!"
"OK - I'm positive you'll get lost in there!"

Pixar delivers yet another absolutely delightful film that fizzes with character, invention and energy.  Yet again, accessible audience-relatable themes (here, moving house and burgeoning adolescence) are filtered through the eyes (often literally) and mind of an eleven-year-old girl with precision and touching depth alongside a relentless bombardment of zany imaginative visuals and almost exhausting rapid-fire dialogue.  Pace and quality are maintained throughout, comedy and pathos are very well-balanced, and the whole film is immensely satisfying to watch.  The traditional accompanying short, Lava, is also beautiful in its simplicity and execution.
