When an 11-year-old girl's family moves from Minnesota to San Francisco, her life is turned upside down. Anthropomorphic emotions that live in her mind bicker with each other over how to deal with the situation. An embarrassing moment on the first day of school sets in motion her idea to run away from home and back to Minnesota. In her mind, the emotions scramble to prevent it. Meticulously plotted and conceived wonder from Pixar knows how to pull all the right emotional levers, but in the end seems overly contrived and almost manipulative. However, I must admit I fell for the whole thing. I thought Bing Bong, the girl's imaginary friend from childhood, was the best character, who disappears forever in her mind's memory dump.
