Los Angeles: The team of Inside Out was on Sunday night "overjoyed" to win the best animated film title at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards here.

The film is set in the mind of a young girl named Riley Andersen (Kaitlyn Dias), where five personified emotions - Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), and Disgust (Mindy Kaling) - try to lead her through life as her parents move the family from Minnesota to San Francisco and she has to adjust to her new life.

"Overjoyed! Inside Out won Best Animated Feature! Congrats to Pete, Jonas, and our Inside Out team," read a post on the official Twitter page of Disney Pixar.

Actress-comedian Mindy Kaling tweeted:

Inside Out was in competition for the award alongside Anomalisa, The Good Dinosaur, The Peanuts Movie and Shaun the Sheep Movie.
