When Michael Giacchino
recently mentioned that the score to
Inside Out could be more emotional than the Academy Award winning score for
Up, our readers replied with comments like, "is that even possible?" and jokingly, "I'm not sure I can handle that". After several times listening to the soundtrack from start to finish, our opinion is that the
Inside Out score IS in fact Giacchino's most emotional score to date. Don't get us wrong, the wonderful waltz of tracks like "Married Life" or "The Ellie Badge" from
Up are still at the top of the list emotionally, but it's the entirety of the
Inside Out soundtrack that makes us believe it's the strongest emotionally overall.
The
Inside Out score is a brilliant cross-section of his prior works, blending the best-of-the-best into one thoughtful piece. Think of it as a blend of the passion in
Up, the energy of
The Incredibles and the "lightness" of
Ratatouille. If you're avoiding any spoilers, do not read further as track titles and descriptions may give plot points away.
