Why Inside Out made you cry

First things first.

I know your eyes got wet watching Inside Out with your kids at the movie theatre. The story gets you halfway there with the themes of growing up and losing the memories of early childhood, like invisible friends and are carefree joy. The animation pushes you to the edge with incredible emotional range of its virtual actors.

But it’s the music that knocks your feet from under you. What music, you ask? There was music?

While watching Inside Out, I was conscious of the subtle piano notes that signalled a sad scene. They reminded me of the musical notes from Lost. They did their job every time. You can listen below.

You can buy the Inside Out original soundtrack at Amazon.ca or wherever you get the stuff.

Go see Inside Out with your kids. Bring tissue and casually wipe your eyes in the dark theatre. Then give your kids a giant hug.
