DREAM PRODUCTIONS - 8/10 - From the world of Inside Out
This miniseries packs it all in. Four episodes about a film production company that makes the dreams in our heads? You bet they pull out all the stops. Every genre is in here.
Documentary is the framework of the script. Thriller? The nightmare/sleep walking scene. Heist? The climax of the story. Comedy is in all the references made for the adult audiences who would better understand the film industry and the psychology of the brain.
The Pixar team effortlessly pulls these aspects together. This series is fun and lighthearted, while still handling deep topics of childhood and humanity. Being only 4 episodes, it's low commitment, and easy to just sit down and watch with your kids. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Pixar took every care with this miniseries that they do with their full length films. The only reason this isn't a film, is the spinoff nature of the main characters. We still see Joy, Sadness, and the rest of the headquarters crew, but the crew of Dream Productions is the main focus. I hope Pixar sees how great this is, because it is just the tip of the iceberg for stories from Riley's brain. We don't need an Inside Out 4, 5, or 6.
And I must have gotten the Pixar dust in my eyes, because this had me tearing up by the end.
