The 68th Cannes Film Festival has been taking place in the South of France, featuring some of the most anticipated films coming out this year. One film in particular that has been grabbing the attention of film critics across the board is Disney Pixar’s Inside Out.
After premiering at Cannes on Monday, the film has since clocked up a mass of five-star reviews and standing ovations. Commenting on the much-anticipated film, DCM’s Head of Film, Tom Linay, said:
“Inside Out is directed by Pete Docter, who is one of Pixar’s greatest directors, having previously helmed Monsters, Inc. and Up. He’s a man who can have you in floods of tears inside the first five minutes of an animated film, so he’s clearly some kind of genius. For this reason alone, Inside Out is a genuine must-see but he’s also assembled a voice cast featuring some of the best comedy actors working in the US, including Amy Poehler, Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling. In a year packed with fantastic family films, Inside Out still manages to stand out as the most inventive and exciting. It’s all set to be the best animated film since Toy Story 3.”
Set to attract a predominantly family audience, over 4m DCM admissions are forecasted for the much-anticipated film. Speak to your DCM rep today for more information.
Inside Out hits cinemas on 24 July.

Robbie Collin in The Telegraph (five stars):
“This is a humane and heart-wrenchingly beautiful film from Docter; even measured alongside Pixar’s numerous great pictures, it stands out as one of the studio’s very best.”
Peter Debruge (Variety):
“Pixar’s 15th feature proves to be the greatest idea the toon studio has ever had: a stunningly original concept that will not only delight and entertain the company’s massive worldwide audience, but also promises to forever change the way people think about the way people think, delivering creative fireworks grounded by a wonderfully relatable family story.”
Todd McCarthy (The Hollywood Reporter):
“This adventurous outing manages the great Pixar trick of operating on two levels — captivating fun for kids, disarming smarts for adults — that sets the studio apart.”
Charles Gant (Screen International):
“Pixar Animation delivers yet another richly realised, candy-coloured universe in the reliably witty, emotionally deft Inside Out.”
