After a brief first look, Pixar's next animated film is being compared to Dante's Divine Comedy. No pressure or anything.
Pixar President Ed Catmull thinks the studio's next film, Inside Out, has the potential to be the next Up, "among our most original and affecting," he wrote in his book Creativity Inc. Although the animation hub has produced some of the most memorable movies of the last decade--with 14 consecutive No. 1 box office hits and $7 billion in worldwide ticket sales--some of its more recent films (see: the entire Cars franchise) have paled in comparison to monster hits like Frozen coming from Disney. But the project formerly known as The Untitled Pixar Movie That Takes You Inside the Mind sounded promising.
