As an adult, there have been animated movies I actually enjoy. The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, and Toy Story come to mind. This movie is being rated as if it's on the same level and to be perfectly honest it's not even close.As an adult, there have been animated movies I actually enjoy. The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, and Toy Story come to mind. This movie is being rated as if it's on the same level and to be perfectly honest it's not even close. The story is so flat and unbearably boring that my wife and I literally walked out of the theater. Will kids like it? I have no idea. But if you are an adult and are thinking about watching this movie, do yourself a favor and rewatch a classic instead.… Expand

Now this may work for kids who can't understand such things but adults should be slamming this. Just a big disappointment.… Expand

I cannot for the life of me understand why people seem to adore this movie. It's frighteningly dull. Just another road movie, this time set inside a frame story that just failed to reach me.

Just another road movie, this time set inside a frame story that just failed to reach me. The emotion characters are somewhere in-between worshiping and controlling a little girl who gets upset because.... her new house is dirty. A big victorian house in the most expensive city in the country. The whole movie I felt more empathy for the parents who tried to make the move comfortable for their daughter.
The whole emotions/memories world just failed to wow me. It seemed inconsistent, cheesy and reductive. Even when the worst happened and whole buildings crumbled, they just reappeared intact later on. The jokes were bland... the whole movie was.… Expand

They hadI feel like I am the minority here, but I really did not enjoy this film. I have been a Pixar fan for years, even since my dad bought me Toy Story on VHS and me, him and my step-mother watched it in the living room on our projector. They had a good cast (minus Lewis Black. That guy just grates me), just to me it falls apart at it's story line and it's execution.

Where it falls apart for me is the characters and the lack of development they have. You just don't feel anything towards them, so you don't care for or feel any of the emotions that they are feeling. This disappointed me as with their previous film "Up", and they managed feel every range of emotion possible in the space of the first 10 minutes.

The other big problem I had with Inside Out was that the world that populate the feature with-in Riley's "psyche" were boring, bland, lifeless and unimaginative. When the 2 main characters are having navigate themselves through them, they just leave nothing memorable. To me, the worlds are literally dead and lifeless.

I have 2 positives, though they do not compare the 2 negatives I have already listed. The animation (unsurprisingly) is stunning and is the exact level you expect a Pixar animation to be at. Now to the most enjoyable part of the film in my opinion. The story revolves around the emotions residing inside of Riley's head and essentially revolves around her. The most enjoyable part of the film for me was where we showed the emotions inside the mother and fathers heads, and also during the credits scene you see inside quite a few other characters heads. It is pretty funny as well as very inventive. Shame that it is barely 5 minutes of the entire film.

I can see kids enjoying the film, but being a long standing Pixar film fan, I did not enjoy it in the slightest. I hope they do better on their next project.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Herman's Head combined with The Phantom Tollbooth, and it's never as good as either. I spotted the main thrust of the plot (spoiler - we need sadness) early on, so getting to the big reveal was a chore, and the big reveal wasn't big - it almost seemed as if the filmmakers weren't sure how to develop the story. Sorry, Pixar, but this one is no "Incredibles". It's like you're just going through the motions.… Expand

Just a stupid plot, a dumb concept and a big disappointment. Usually animated movies can be very good, but this one was terrible. A metascore of 94? Has the world gone crazy?

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fantastic animation, good initial idea... But I have quite a few beefs with this movie, so here we go:

1. As usual, Disney paints out the "normal" person with a broad brush designed to appeal to the largest number of people, instead of giving the main character any sort of uniqueness or depth (which are "normal" in Real Life!). In comparison, Studio Ghibli's female characters are all very complex and different. You don't need to get the audience to identify with the character's every trait and thoughts. There is nothing interesting about Riley, she's clearly been constructed as the "mainstream kid", almost a blank slate, America's archetypical kid (white middle class, single child).

2. There is some lovely symbolism in the movie, but most of the story-telling that happens inside Riley's head appears completely unrelated to what is happening in Riley's reality. What does it mean that Joy and Sadness are lost in long-term memory? This is the central part of the movie, and it drags on and on, and most of its aspects don't seem to help Riley's character development.

3. Of all the core emotions they could have picked, why disgust? I mean, what about love, selfishness, or empathy? Disgust seems mostly irrelevant to the whole movie, and extending her role from protecting Riley from poisoning to social acceptance (make-up, dress etc.) is such a stretch that it makes no sense to me.

4. At the end of the movie, my 5-year-old son laughed his head off. I asked him what his favourite part was, and he said "The cat at the end! I want to watch this over and over again!". Getting into other characters' heads was the comic aspect of the movie, and the little they did (about 5 minutes altogether) was very well done and very, very funny. But keeping it to the trailer and the credits makes it look like the original ideas around the movie were discarded because they interrupted the very serious emotional tone that was supposed to drive it. There's something missing there in the pacing of humour, a missed opportunity.… Expand

Not a straight rip-off of "Herman's Head", a 90's Fox sitcom, but with a “Fear” character disturbingly similar to said TV show, it make us wonder if Inside Out isn’t just an indulgent fantasy of our love to simplify reality into stereotypes.Not a straight rip-off of "Herman's Head", a 90's Fox sitcom, but with a “Fear” character disturbingly similar to said TV show, it make us wonder if Inside Out isn’t just an indulgent fantasy of our love to simplify reality into stereotypes. Funny? Yes! Charming, oh yes! Too long? Indeed! Despite mixing an outdated psychology of emotions with contemporary concepts of mind, the biggest fault of Inside Out is overestimating its story as worth a full-length feature film. Half of the film is a round-around journey of the two main characters trying to return (without success) to their headquarters. After the fourth attempt, my daughter was like, “will the rest of the movie be like this?” When the plot solves, you feel relief it just ended, but don’t care anymore.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie has a depressing core message about the death of childhood and the loss of beautiful memories. The middle part is long and painful, with too few of the hilarious moments promised in the trailer. Parents as well as tweens and teens may find it emotionally wrenching. This was a missed opportunity to explore emotions and empathy, and the film instead portrays the "end" of childhood as the death of cherished memories of imaginary friends and silliness. The best parts appear in the trailer, the last 5 minutes, and the credits.… Expand

What a brilliant idea I thought it was so awesome I watched the trailer several times and enjoyed every time. But the movie was a huge disappointment, it looks it is one of the movies with trailer is better than the movie itself. In the trailer all people got magic creatures called emotions in their brain, but in the movie only the main character does there is only one scene where you can see these "emotions" in the head of different people and you already seen it in the trailer. Mom and Dad characters are completely one dimensional. Even the girl looks like robot controlled by stupid crew. And why did they put in this popular psychology theory that loves to put labels on people but always no more than 4 please. I better to see how the emotions behave in different life situations than to follow how american sale manager "Joy" learns the hard way that analytic "Sorrow" also a person and could be useful sometimes.… Expand

The way they show how feelings are dealt with is was good until the actual plot comes in where your "joy" and "sad" are lost??? Da fuq.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While I certainly don't think it's in kids best interest to be kept within a protective bubble and not exposed to the reality that there is suffering in life, I do think that the main principle of a "kids" animated movie should be to bring them happiness. When I brought my 6 year old daughter home my wife asked her how the film was and she just looked forward and didn't utter a word. At least warn the public that your kids are going to get a full dose of the reality blues if they go to see this film. On numerous occasions my 6 year old daughter asked me why all the characters are crying. Then it gets really awesome when the little emotion of "joy" character is down in the dark waste bin of memories with the main character's imaginary friend. She clutches the smoldering and dying memories of past happiness and sobs uncontrollably. But she does eventually make it out of this purgatory because imaginary friend sacrifices his life and slowly fades away dissolving before our eyes. But the kicker was when my kid looks at me and asks with troubled eyes what will happen when the last solid island of this girls thoughts (truth island has already died as she steals from her mother to run away from home, etc) "family island" will crumble and disappear. What are the writers sadists? To push the limits were they trying to see if they could make an Angela's ashes for little kids? I actually felt guilty taking my daughter to see this film.… Expand

Worst Disney movie ever! I don't know how it doesn't have any negative reviews. The premise is great, but the movie falls way short of its expectations. I think everyone who reviewed this movie only watched the previews.
