Out of all of Pixar's upcoming films, the one I want to see the most (besides THE INCREDIBLES 2, of course) is INSIDE OUT. The animated movie comes from UP director and TOY STORY scribe Pete Docter, and Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, John Ratzenberger and Phyllis Smith will be lending their voices for the film.

We already know the movie will be set inside the mind of a young girl and involve her emotions, and now Pixar has released a synopsis for INSIDE OUT, revealing a bit of the plot for their film.

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.

While I've always been a big Pixar fan, I have been a little less impressed with their most recent movies. Not saying CARS 2, BRAVE and MONSTERS UNIVERSITY were terrible or anything, however in my opinion they just weren't as great or as memorable as their older films like WALL-E or any of the TOY STORY movies. I know it's kind of lame we aren't getting a Pixar film this year, but if INSIDE OUT ends up being fantastic, it'll definitely be worth the wait.

INSIDE OUT will be in theaters on June 19, 2015.
