It's isn't as if I purport to be some archetypical tough guy, but I'm just not one to cry in the theatre. Inside out got me though. Boy, did it get me.

Inside Out was nothing short of a masterwork, Pixar's best since Toy Story 3 and one of their best overall.

Pixar films can be relied upon to have great animation, and Inside Out certainly does have great animation. No, wonderful animation and some of the company's most ingeniously inventive, with gorgeously vibrant colours, a very imaginatively rendered setting (and the lands even more ingeniously done, the next land more so than the last), very meticulous and beautifully modelled backgrounds and clever character designs that match the emotions more than ideally. Michael Giacchino's sparkling, rousing and very charming score is one of my personal favourite scores of the year so far, and every bit as great as his score for Up.

A superb job was done with the script here too, the comedy is clever and witty without ever being forced and balances subtly with the drama, the drama is some of the most truly poignant of any Pixar film and it doesn't ever feel manipulative or overdone and it's very smartly insightful. The story, not one of THE most innovative concepts but is one of the more imaginative uses of it and is quite original for Pixar actually, goes at a slightly steadier pace than other Disney films, but still captivated. It was very easy to completely connect with Riley and her situation and this was easily the Pixar film since Toy Story 3 that I connected with emotionally the most, also one of Pixar's most moving stories quite easily.

Loved the characters too, Anger, Fear, Disgust and Bing Bong (the imaginary friend and the 'epitome of immaturity', without ever being annoying, his back story did bring a tear to the eye) stole every scene they were in, and even Sadness managed to crack some funny one-liners even in her depressive state. Joy also positively lights up the screen and Riley was easy to connect with and much more than just a stereotypical teen girl. The voice acting is splendid. Amy Poehler is note perfect as Joy with her spirited banter giving the character so much life while also bringing a human element to her as well, Lewis Black gives an explosively barn-storming turn as Anger, Phyllis Smith is amusing and affecting, Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling are similarly priceless and in a way that makes the characters of Fear and Disgust endearing rather than annoying, Richard Kind is innocently charming and Kyle MacLachlan and Diane Lane are appropriately compassionate.

Overall, a masterful return to form for Pixar. It's their best since Toy Story 3 and one of their best overall as well. 10/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Never a movie has made me dry my tears from my face, and my eyes got wet with up to 3 different emotions. For me, this movie is just perfect, not as a colourful movie for children, but as a piece of art.
In 94 minutes, they aren't just able to make me cry and feel a lot of different emotions, they also recreate our minds in a brilliant way, mixing different psychological theories. And they still have time to make a deep view through what our society has decided about what is good and what is bad to feel, showing the real value of each feeling and the bad consequences of forcing ourselves into showing always a smile when it's actually out of context. It deserves, at least, a nomination to the "big" Oscar. 10/10… Expand

The movie is not perfect:This is one of the best movies for kids -- ever. This movie takes emotions head-on, and the utility of providing kids some kind of a mental map of how their emotions work is empowering and potentially life-changing. The movie is not perfect: emotions might play a huge role in our lives (especially kids), but they are not the only things that control us (though to be fair, the movie does not make the characters simply robots controlled by their emotions), and there are are a few minor stereotypes. However, the merits of Inside Out far-and-away outshine these foibles. Plenty of meaty issues to talk about, and even hints at more to come in kids lives. Shows emotions co-operating (and sometimes competing) to try for the well-being of their characters, and shows that everyone has emotions and that emotions can be complicated and nuanced. I can imagine that teens will pretend that they are not interested, so target audience would be 5 or 6 up to about 12. But if you can get your teenager to go, they will probably (internally) resonate with many of the issues and the way they are handled. My kids loved it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another Pixar masterpiece. Inside Out is visually stunning and meaningfully captivating. The idea of tacking the topic of emotions and succesfully put it into an animated family movie is brilliant. It starts with a typical introduction of the characters that ingeniously transforms into a wild and touching plot. As soon as Riley's family move out of their hometown and have a new life in San Francisco the emotions in Riley's head try to figure out how to work with this drastic change. Joy is vibrant and full of life that leads the other emotions so that Riley will be happy and somewhat isolating Sadness out of the picture. As soon as things turn against them. Joy and Sadness are given a journey that will make them understand each other's purpose. Meanwhile the other emotions try to control Riley and end up making her emotionally confused. Towards the end Joy discovers that Sadness has a great part in the development of Riley. The message of the movie is clear. There won't be joy without sadness. Another lesson that Pixar instills in the minds of children, but surprisingly adults can also relate to this movie. Parents can relate and understand how their children feel and how great of a part Joy and Sadness play in our lives. This movie is one of the best animated movies ever crafted. It shows a great lesson and discovery in its viewers. Absolutely heartfelt and meaningful. It leaves you thinking about it and its very mature but important topic. Pixar outdid itself again. Releasing something close to the heart something viewers haven't felt since the first Toy Story. It is a compilation of all of Pixar's movies in one bright and heart piercing beauty.… Expand

I found myself laughing and crying and on the edge of my seat for those "oh no!" type moments. I would definitely have to say this is by far one of my most recent favorite movies. The movie as a whole was a little long (they could have shortened the journey back to Headquarters a bit) but I felt engaged the entire time.

I think it takes a lot of time and great insight to animate what really goes on inside our brains. It was really interesting to see how Riley's "Islands" changed as she grew older and began to "forget" things from when she was younger.

Overall I give this movie a 10, definitely one of the best Pixar films to date.… Expand

I was very please with this Pixar movie. It felt a lot different than the other Pixar movies that I have come to know. They all seemed to have the same story line and it was starting to get old. When I first watched a preview for this film, II was very please with this Pixar movie. It felt a lot different than the other Pixar movies that I have come to know. They all seemed to have the same story line and it was starting to get old. When I first watched a preview for this film, I was very excited to see what it had in store for the audience.

I originally was very hesitant about going to see this film because children's movies usually are not my favorite. I was very surprised when I walked out of this movie because it kept me so engaged the whole time that I could not believe it was over. I found myself getting upset and even relating to the film about certain emotions that we all have. I gave this film a 10 because I truly felt like it was a film for all ages. It was a very good film for young children because it gave them a look inside their own head. As young children, they can sometimes be confused by their own emotions because they have never experienced them before. I thought this was a great and new way to teach children about their different emotions and how to deal with them. I also felt like it was a great lesson for adults as well. Not only does it teach them about their emotions, but it shows because how to deal with children's emotions, while putting it into a cute film.

I was not surprised to see that this movie had great reviews. Everyone I have talked to has absolutely loved it and the message that it displayed. It was something new and not like any of Pixar's other films. I would definitely recommend this film to all ages. It is a cute film that pulls at your heart strings as you can relate to many, if not all, of the emotions that young Riley has.… Expand

Pixar often featured movies encapsulating themes of growing up. Finding Nemo, Toy Story (franchise), Up and many more have been praised by the unconventional encasement of a coming-of-age story mixed with traditional youthful storylines. 2015Pixar often featured movies encapsulating themes of growing up. Finding Nemo, Toy Story (franchise), Up and many more have been praised by the unconventional encasement of a coming-of-age story mixed with traditional youthful storylines. 2015 had been successful for Pixar as Inside Out presented an intriguing storyline matched with emotional depth.

Frankly, I've waited for the release of this movie for over a year after seeing a trailer of it from Big Hero 6 and I am deeply ecstatic with the results. The characters were not just one-dimensional and it seemed like the emotions also had their own persona and just magnify what they are about such as Joy being outwardly "Joyful" though can also feel sadness and other emotions as well.

The casting was superb. Everyone did an incredible job. I am a big fan of SNL and they train comedians well by giving them random roles on their skits.

Most importantly, the storyline prompted me to give the movie an A+ grade. It is a nice metaphor of what happens inside the head of a child who is in the verge of undergoing the tedious process of puberty. It did not sugarcoat the pain of growing up rather it was brave enough to show what it really feels even if other people would castigate the movie due to its depressing atmosphere. It also explored the best lands we could ever explore--- the mind.

Overall, this movie deserves a 10 just like other Pixar films which I grew up with. But this one stands out due to its sheer originality and bold overall concept.… Expand

This movie has favorable characters and a favorable story. As everyone of us are controlled by emotions, it's same to say that Riley is controlled by her emotions just like us and without Joy and Sadness, she changes throughout the movie. My favorite emotion is Joy because Joy is happiness and so is this score I gave to this movie.

That film was enduring as it divedAfter the release “Cars 2” Pixar has seem to lose its track with critics. Children may still love the films that had come after but adults and critics had some split ideas for the following film “Brave”. That film was enduring as it dived into the relationship between the queen and Merida. However, the story line did rely on some free spirited princess cliches that are a staple of Pixar’s parent company. The “planes” films are “Cars” spin off that have been universally panned by critics and it was very clear that these films were only meant for the youngest of audiences ( i.e. toddlers to six year olds). So when the trailer for Pixar’s latest outing came to theaters, many movie lovers (myself included) people were concerned with how this film was going to turn out. However as soon as the opening credits were over and the film proper had begun, it was very clear to me that Pixar had finally gotten back on its “A” game. “Inside Out” is not only a fun film that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, it is also a great insight on the nature of emotions and how all of them are nessacry in the development of a growing person.
One of the first concerns that I personally had was that the emotions would only have one note personalities. For example, joy would be the generic quirky hero, fear would be the “geek”, Disgust would be the premdomina, sadness would only be able to express sadness and have it be it, and to have anger be the “hot-head” of the group. However, much to my surprise the writers have given the emotions their own distinct personalizes that have other elements of the other emotions. For example, Disgust shows a few instances of happiness when Reilly (their host) would have a chance to be happy with her move to San Francisco. It is only appropriate that the writers would have Reilly go through a move which would cause her to have an emotional breakthrough. Moving is a position that many young viewers could relate and it is an emotional experience for children and adults. Moving is leaving everything that someone loves behind in order to live in a prosperous future. The change is very hard for young Reilly as she struggles to comprehend that the house that her family moves into is not really her dream house. With this drastic change, the emotions start to fight amongst themselves about what is best for Reilly. This makes for a compelling story since the negative emotions like anger and fear and even disgust really want to do what is best for their host.
As the plot progresses, joy and sadness are separated from the rest of the emotions, they meet with Reilly’s old imaginary friend named Bing Bong who was forgotten by her as she grew older. As soon as he had come onscreen, I thought to myself “he is going to find a way to betray Sadness and Joy and then try to take over the mind so that he would be the only friend that Reilly would have. However, the film had made the choice to not throw in a last-minute villain, the film makers had decided to choose a more tragic route for the character. The character disappears towards the end of the film forever which symbolizes the end of childhood and that the emotions need to continue to prosper in the future to maintain Reilly’s emotional balance. It is for the better that the film doesn’t have a main villain, the girl going through her emotions is a strong conflict as it is. The surprise twist toward the end of the film shows the importance of negative emotions as well as positive emotions. The film teaches children (as well as adults) that negative emotions are needed for a balanced life. People cannot experience joy without going through the sadness. A negative experience could be seen as a challenge to help with self- improvement
There is a running gag in the film about the girl and every character in the film remembering a commercial jingle that keeps popping up in their mind. The gag is not only hilarious but it is also an interesting bit of social commentary. The commercial jingle is a slight reflection of how far people go to promote their product. The jingles were made to be as catchy on purpose so that the target audience could remember their product. Another interesting piece of social commentary was when the cells were dumping the memories that Reilly deems as unimportant. Some of those said memories were the presidents of the United States such as John
Quincy Adams or Andrew Jackson. This brief segment of the film is a reflection of the ongoing short attention span that the younger generation has towards academia. The newer generations are more prone to being distracted by forms of media and showing less of an interest in studies.
As a final note, “Inside Out” is a proud return to form film by Pixar that not only has a good piece of social commentary but it is also a reflection on hoe all emotions are needed even if they are negative. In a time of extremist opinions that are especially found on the internet, people can learn from this film… Expand

That film was enduring as it divedAfter the release “Cars 2” Pixar has seem to lose its track with critics. Children may still love the films that had come after but adults and critics had some split ideas for the following film “Brave”. That film was enduring as it dived into the relationship between the queen and Merida. However, the story line did rely on some free spirited princess cliches that are a staple of Pixar’s parent company. The “planes” films are “Cars” spin off that have been universally panned by critics and it was very clear that these films were only meant for the youngest of audiences ( i.e. toddlers to six year olds). So when the trailer for Pixar’s latest outing came to theaters, many movie lovers (myself included) people were concerned with how this film was going to turn out. However as soon as the opening credits were over and the film proper had begun, it was very clear to me that Pixar had finally gotten back on its “A” game. “Inside Out” is not only a fun film that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, it is also a great insight on the nature of emotions and how all of them are nessacry in the development of a growing person.
One of the first concerns that I personally had was that the emotions would only have one note personalities. For example, joy would be the generic quirky hero, fear would be the “geek”, Disgust would be the premdomina, sadness would only be able to express sadness and have it be it, and to have anger be the “hot-head” of the group. However, much to my surprise the writers have given the emotions their own distinct personalizes that have other elements of the other emotions. For example, Disgust shows a few instances of happiness when Reilly (their host) would have a chance to be happy with her move to San Francisco. It is only appropriate that the writers would have Reilly go through a move which would cause her to have an emotional breakthrough. Moving is a position that many young viewers could relate and it is an emotional experience for children and adults. Moving is leaving everything that someone loves behind in order to live in a prosperous future. The change is very hard for young Reilly as she struggles to comprehend that the house that her family moves into is not really her dream house. With this drastic change, the emotions start to fight amongst themselves about what is best for Reilly. This makes for a compelling story since the negative emotions like anger and fear and even disgust really want to do what is best for their host.
As the plot progresses, joy and sadness are separated from the rest of the emotions, they meet with Reilly’s old imaginary friend named Bing Bong who was forgotten by her as she grew older.

Pixar finally return to the form that had them succeeding in every film (except Cars movies) before 2011. A film that takes a concept many might feel a bit sensitive to tell to kids and makes a beautiful and emotional story with it. Sensational.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a great and funny movie! It takes an abstract concept of emotions and makes them concrete for children. It is a family movie that opens discussion about deeper emotions and the concept of loss. Emotions are something that the modern world thinks should be hidden and a brave face should be put on. This movie shows why emotions change and memories become sad. The little girl faces many moments of sadness in this movie and she seems to have no hope for happiness again. One possibility of conversation with children after watching this movie could be about where we get our happiness from. Is it something that we find for ourselves, from religion, or from others. These are questions we have to wrestle through with our children and peers. Not only was this a great movie but it is a great conversation starter for many other topics.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Inside Out is an A++ animated movie and to me is one of the best animated movies of all time. The animation and visual were gorgeous and stunning, I loved every character, the emotion balls, and the different lands of personality. All of the voice over performances were phenomenal especially from Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Richard Kind, Bill Hader, Mindy Kaling, Lewis Black, and Kaitlyn Dias. The writing and story were remarkable, the story really showed what it is like to be a teenager and having to move to a new town, house, and school and the emotion that come with. I loved how original the concept of the movie was. This movie was funny, cute, and extremely touching. The movies score was outstanding and it is my favorite movie score of all time, it is so nice to listen to. Inside Out is my favorite Pixar movie of all time, it is my 2nd favorite animated movie of all time, and one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time.… Expand

Intelligent, even intellectual, this film explains in a fun and light way how our emotions, memory and consciousness work, among other complex topics associated with our behavior and psyche, such as nightmares, dreams, traumas, etc.

Not much to say about voice actors, and I don't even know most of them. Amy Poehler, who gives voice to Joy, is the one that stands out but everyone did an excellent job. All the characters had their time to shine, but the focus of the film is on the five emotions (with a strong emphasis on Joy and Sadness) and Riley herself. There are truly moving moments throughout the film, which I don't think are intended for children, but rather for a teenage audience and young adults, able to understand what the movie is showing. Before finishing, I just want to leave a word for the well-written dialogues, with some humor in between.

From a technical point of view, the movie is flawless, as expected from a Pixar movie. Animated through advanced CGI features, it's the state of the art. Vibrant colors, good brightness, safe and realistic drawings ensure aesthetic and visual beauty, while attention to detail is visible, for example, in the way scenery and everyday objects are carefully designed. As sometimes happens in the movies of this studio, the soundtrack is not the strong dish here.

I was truly delighted with this movie because of the way it addresses complex and intellectual topics. But this film is not only that: it is, above all, a good story about how we deal with our dreams, longings and emotions and how they can shape, or even redefine, our character at key moments in our lives.… Expand

Inside Out is an animated masterpiece, it's hands down the best original Pixar movie of this decade and one of the best animated movies of the decade. Sure, the concept isn't really anything original (Sentient feelings inside the head, all acting according to the emotion they're representing isn't anything new, obviously) but the way it's executed it's what makes it truly unique. The charismatic characters, the great writing, the imagination put into the creation of the world of "Riley's mind", the animation, the score, almost every aspect is phenomenal. The plot itself also doesn't sound too original or exciting, like the story is pretty predictable but what happens between point A and point B of the journey of our protagonists is exciting, engaging and truly emotional.

The score is one of the best scores in a Pixar movie and probably of any animated movie ever, it's so beautiful and really triggers emotions, it fits perfectly the tone of the movie and makes emotional moments even better and a lot more emotional and tear-jerking.

I loved the character development, specially from the main lead: Joy. I thought that maybe they'll act the same the entire movie leaving no room for development, but the good boy director Pete Docter found a way to not make that a problem: Give feelings to the feelings. Many people don't like Joy but for me it's one of Pixar's best protagonists: At first she seems like a happy and optimistic person but actually she's a selfish person that just worries about making Riley happy all the time, but by the end of the movie we see a completely different Joy, a Joy that learnt so much during the journey back to headquarters, I just love her, I love her character and how well developed was her arc.


This movie has a surprising level of depth and the message this movie gives is so beautiful and impactful: It's okay to be sad, everyone wants to be happy and pretend to be happy to hide their real emotions but sadness and other feelings are necessary in order to feel better.

I need to mention that I hate when people complaint about the plot holes and that how some things don't make sense, like:

-"Why didn't Joy send the core memories back to HQ through that tube thing that sent memories directly to HQ"? Well didn't anyone see the movie? Joy, at first was a selfish character, she didn't want anyone to touch the core memories or else they'll turn those memories to other emotion, obviously when they send them the other emotions will have to take the memory down or what? You wanted Joy to send a message saying "don't touch them until I go back"?

No, the movie doesn't have dumb plot conveniences to make the journey longer as I heard from some place in the internet, if you watch the movie carefully you'll see that everything that happens is for a reason, nothing happens "just cause", I find annoying when people nitpick this movie and point out that they didn't like the movie because it has "things that don't make sense" come on!!!

I love this movie, I truly love it and it's such a rewatchable movie, I think I love it more and more the more times I see it. This is hands-down my favorite animated movie from 2015 and I think its Oscar is really well deserved, like yeah, Anomalisa is amazing but if it was released in 2016 and not 2015, it would've been my #1 animated movie of the year but, as of now, it's my second favorite.… Expand

Do you ever look at someone and wonder, "What is going on inside their head?" Well, the reality is the answers pretty dull. It's just a big brain sending messages across your body to determine your actions. But in the minds of the creators atDo you ever look at someone and wonder, "What is going on inside their head?" Well, the reality is the answers pretty dull. It's just a big brain sending messages across your body to determine your actions. But in the minds of the creators at Pixar the answer has no limits, with every persons head containing a fully functioning world, where small beings create and store every idea and memory we have in life. And at the centre of this world is a control panel, similar to something like the deck of the Enterprise, which is controlled by our emotions that lead us through every decision we make in our lives.

Inside Out follows a girl named Riley (Katilyn Dias) and the five emotions that lead her every action- Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Riley's most important emotion that has shaped all of Riley's core memories that make her the person she is, Joy (Amy Pohler). They all care for Riley and one another like one big family, always looking to give Riley the best life she can have. This includes everything from remembering to avoid Broccoli to maintaining Riley's goofy attitude to remain her parents happy little girl.

But Riley is entering a difficult period in her life of great change. She is moving to a new home in San Francisco, leaving her friends behind, and her father has become too busy with work to look after her the way he used to. This causes the emotions to conflict on the best way to deal with it, with the ensuing chaos causing Joy and Sadness to get lost in the furthest reaches of Riley's mind and forcing them to go on a journey to return to the control room, or Riley might never be happy again.

In some ways the film is a nice reminder of how even after 20 years, Pixar has stuck to what made them so engaging to audiences to begin with. The journey that Joy and Sadness go on is a great buddy travel movie, that's in a similar vein to Buzz and Woody in 'Toy Story'. And just like 'Toy Story', Pixar has continued to remain focused on developing memorable characters that will help shape many childhoods, with the likes of Joy's energetic personality and simplistic but lovable design bound to stick in our heads the same way that Buzz Lightyear did when 'Toy Story' was first released.

But in other ways the film is a reminder to show how far both Pixar and CGI animation has come, with the worlds Pixar's movies take place in going from the constraints of a child's bedroom to creating an entire world within the mind of a child. And the world that they create is something truly special. Other films have taken place in a person's mind in the past with their own distinct styles, from the epic mind bending action of 'Inception' to the fragmenting chaos in 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. But no other film has ever approached the inner workings of a mind with the same creativity as Pixar has.

The film includes as much as it could of developing how a mind works and what an 11 year old girl would be thinking about, incorporating it as either a great gag or as a way the world is designed to function. There's a literal train of thought that's able to carry memories across Riley's mind, a place called Déjà vu that keeps popping up, and even a dream centre that operates like a movie studio to give Riley something to watch at night. Even small sayings like getting a song stuck in your head are incorporated in to the film in some of Pixars funniest running gags to date. Plus I'm relatively certain that anyone who's seen the film will be humming Triple Dent Gum for the rest of their lives.

As always, at the films heart remains the human drama that has kept Pixar movies so relatable over the years. In one of the most touching scenes, we watch as Joy turns on one of Riley's treasured childhood memories of her skating to pick up her spirits and slowly begins to skate with her in perfect synch. It's a beautiful moment where we're shown both the close bond that Riley and her emotions share, whilst reminding us all on the way we all hold on to out childhood in a way that only Pixar can.

It's moments like this that can be universally related to, mixed with Pixar's stunning animation and their ability to create such original worlds that ensures Inside Out is another addition to Pixar's constantly growing collection of treasured classics.… Expand

It's filled with jokes in a charming script with likable characters who work together perfectly, from a perspective that really works as of most of the film taking place inside Riley's brain. It's also one of the most triggering films around, so that must say something.

However, the true area of success for this one is in the way it explores emotion and the way we think and operate. A thought provoking film, Inside Out is easily one of the best films of 2015 for the way it really almost caters to the adult audience and provide a ton of interesting commentary on how we function. Magnificently written and a great representation of bringing a complex concept to life, Inside Out should easily find a home alongside the other phenomenal releases from Pixar.… Expand

It's only when the sequels pop up do I groan, but end up enjoying them anyway. Oddly, I wouldn't mind an Inside Out 2. I'm glad they're starting to do original titles again, because DreamWorks has actually started to catch up (including the patented tear-jerking) and so has Disney. Frozen and Tangled were really good and gave that same kind of magic. Luckily Pixar still has it. I don't ever want them to falter too much because the cartoon movie would have been dead without them and the 3d movie would have never existed without them.… Expand

Inside Out is their best release since Toy Story 3 and returns to the kinds of stories they do best. It tugs emotionally almost as much as TS 3 and Up! but not quite as much, which is the only reason I do not take the rating all the way to 10.

Inside Out is definitely among the upper echelon of great Pixar films. There is sequel potential, but I honestly would love it if they would leave this one to stand alone. But that is not Pixar's way usually. One can hope, though.

A departure from many Pixar offerings is there is no true villain. The tension is all created by the situations created within the fabric of the plot. And there are plenty of tense moments, along with several heartfelt moments that will pull tears from some viewers. As with nearly all Pixar movies, there is plenty here to keep younger audiences entertained while providing depth and emotion for the adult viewers, especially anyone who is a parent.… Expand

It also lacks an emotional punch, unlike 'Toy Story' or 'Up' just to name a few. But that's not a major flaw as it's very creative, has well developed characters, smart, and it's relatable, as most of us have been through these emotions and experiences. We do and once had gotten angry, frightened, sad, disgust, and have joy. Pixar really showed these experiences with Riley by having joy for her family's moving, disgusted by her house, frightened by the foods, sadden for not having friends, and angry by running away. We also see Riley's imagination or Goof Land fading away as she ages which is a nice detail.
Pixar's on the right track and hopefully they stay on that track.… Expand

Though you have to give it credit forAs for movies, Pixar has been most of the time a mixed bag -- sometimes producing excellent animation movies like Up and Toy Story, others like Cars 2 (a not so good movie) and just solid movies (Brave). Though you have to give it credit for creating films like Wall-E, Ratatouille, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, all of which were successful, some more than others. Now, about this genre animation thing, I've been pretty bored. Yeah, I have grown up since I watched animated movies, but that doesn't mean these pictures can become stale, boring and flat-out unoriginal. "Up" is pretty stupid if you look at it, however it's one of my favorite Pixar's output to this date, and I can't fathom how anyone could dislike it. I knew someone on the Internet who deeply despised it, and called the film "sentimental, manipulative and nonsensical". Jesus Christ, it's just a kid's movie, of course it's going to be silly and stuff, because it's for family entertainment. No one needs to be this harsh on a movie made only to appease children. But getting back to the original debate, I thought Pixar's old formula was getting too humdrum for my taste. Yesterday "Inside Out" proved to be a delightful trip for start to finish, and that is all thanks to its creativity. Corny little creatures inside of one's mind, with lots of scenarios like subconscious, islands of memories, dream production, among others is something that no one has ever seen. Along with some genuinely hilarious lines, the premise proved itself worthy, and the distinction the writers made with the characters was spot-on: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear. It has got all the emotional mechanisms to drive Riley's growing personality forward. In this movie, everything is messed up. Riley goes to another city and is forced to say goodbye to her friends and home, which she loved. With her first day in school, Riley is put in the edge of breaking, and meanwhile Joy and Sadness get stuck in her long-term memory section. It's up to Joy to get back to headquarters and help Riley be happy again.

Now, you can extract from that brief synopsis some familiar tropes, previously and repetitively established in other Pixar's films: the focus on a child, necessity of teamwork, bla bla bla. What is surprising is that Pixar picks those monotonous rehashes and puts them in a cleverly written script (courtesy of Peter Docter). The jokes hit more than they miss, especially when you have such originality surrounding the film. The scenes in Riley's parents head were hilarious, with the father thinking about the ballgame and the mother having her mind focused on handsome playboys. In other words, it's packed with emotional and comedic stuff, and I appreciate it. I just wished they could have spent more time on Riley's parents mind.

Excellent, and only further enhances Pixar's already successful track record. This is a movie for all ages.

The film follows a young girl named Riley and her eternal "Control Station" in her head that controls her Happiness ,Anger ,Fear,Sadness and disgust. Each is represented by a different character and each have voice actors who fit perfectly. It's extremely interesting to see how each emotion reacts to every situation and how you may relate to some or predict others before they happen. The humor is quite good as well, It's not like the movie was trying to make you laugh but you can find humor in lots of situations. Inside Out at times feels like a movie that adults may enjoy more then kids but that's mostly to the deeper meanings behind most jokes in the movie. Inside Out is a movie more enjoyable to watch the less you know about it so try and keep what you know about the movie to a minimum. Anyone who loves Pixar/Dreamsworks etc will enjoy Inside Out regardless and is also a movie I can see people coming back to in the future.… Expand

It’s a really cool world and I would definitely not call this an Osmosis Jones rip off!! It has too much of it’s own identity in order to do that. It’s really cute, really charming and it might actually get a bit of emotion out of you. This is also not one just for the kids. The adults will get something out of this. Special props to Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black and Kaitlyn Dias who are all particularly good in their roles.
