    A clever and compassionate look at another corner of its protagonist’s mind—as well as a playful critique of the filmmaking process.

    Grown-ups will likely enjoy the series more than kids, but all ages should enjoy it a lot. This being Pixar, the visuals are terrific, of course, and terrific fun. But viewers could close their eyes and still have a fine time: Nami Melamud’s score is that varied and exuberant.

    If any corporate therapy is afoot, it isn’t immediately obvious in the finished product, which has the easy confidence of a relatively low-stakes experiment that immediately starts hitting bullseyes.

    As ever with Pixar, it works on multiple levels. Your kids may not get all the in-jokes, but they will love the pace, comedy, emotion and characters. Adults, meanwhile, will be reminded that Tinseltown is rarely more entertaining and savage than when it is examining its navel.

    A gloriously fun little addendum, Dream Productions makes a strong case that Inside Out is now Pixar’s best franchise.

    Above all, it is a generous, exuberant thing that feels born of a desire to give us all a treat – a gift rather than a franchise being milked dry.

    Dream Productions continues to effectively expand the Inside Out universe, which seems to know no bounds, given the fact that a preteen’s brain is so darn complicated.

    On the whole, Dream Productions is a fun idea that gets a bit derailed by its Hollywood setting and mockumentary format.
