Review by Bob Ignizio
As my friend and fellow area film critic George Thomas pointed
out to me, the premise of Pixar’s INSIDE
OUT bears more than a passing similarity to that of a Fox TV show from the early nineties that I had forgotten about, “Herman’s Head”. In both, the set-up is
that inside the mind of the main character live various anthropomorphic
representations of certain character traits. Of course, it’s not the basic idea
of a given story that matters so much as what is done with it, and true to form
the folks at Pixar manage to whip up a clever and entertaining story that, even
if it were inspired by the long cancelled TV show, puts a unique and
entertaining spin on the idea.
