"Inner Workings" is a short film from Disney and which is being shown before Disney's latest full-length CGI film, "Moana". In many ways it's a lot like "Inside Out" but instead of focusing on feelings, the short focuses on the brain and its control over the heart, lungs and bladder. The story is about a boring man with a very boring job and whose brain constantly is scaring him out of doing anything exciting and risky in life. However, after the tedium of his job finally overwhelms this very responsible brain, it's about to rebel!
The animation is exactly what you'd expect from Disney--about the best you can find. The story is also cute and enjoyable...even if it does seem a tad too much like "Inside Out" (by Disney partner, Pixar). Worth seeing and likely to be nominated for yet another Oscar for Best Animated Short.
