Inside Out
Plenty of Pixar’s films could belong on this list, but last year’s Inside Out’s audacious attempt to understand how people (especially kids) cope with their emotions was eye opening. Not only did it provide a film kids could use to explain and visualize how they feel. But it gave a clear, narrative understanding of why sadness is the emotion which can have the strongest hold on us and our memories. And the film benefits from a killer voice cast featuring Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Richard Kind, and the perfectly cast Phyllis Smith as Sadness.
