At Sunday night’s Academy Awards, Disney Pixar’s “Inside Out” took home the win for Best Animated Feature. When director Pete Docter accepted the Oscar, he had a beautiful message for any kid who feels sad:
This film was really born from watching our kids grow up, which is not easy. Anyone out there who is in junior high, high school, working it out, suffering — there are days you’re going to feel sad. You’re going to feel angry. You’re going to be a little scared. That’s nothing you can choose. But you can make stuff. Make films. Draw. Write. It will make a world of a difference.
