Pixar made a triumphant return to the big screen with Inside Out. Cleverly numbskulling the crooked pathway of adolescence with touching honesty and some very smart writing, Inside Out quite rightly took its place as one of the best films of the year.

Director Pete Docter has revealed some of the emotions which were being considered in the early stages – either as cameos or as an essential part of the ensemble.
