Had the privilege of seeing an advance screening of "Inside Out," and Pixar belted it out of the park. Hit all the high and low notes, created moving and lasting characters, and took us along on another adventure. But beyond that, it touched on some pretty deep themes. It's a lovely, wonderful movie.

See this one in a quality theater. You'll still love the story, but will miss some of the immersiveness of the settings and sound if you are sitting in an inferior theater.

Every one of our party of every age loved it, including the jaded teenagers. It's appropriate for the little ones too, although per the usual Pixar heart-tugging, there are a couple sad notes.

The new Pixar short, "Lava," is very cute and sweet. Also features a tune (similar to a very famous song) that will stick in your head for days to come.

Don't miss this one.
