Inside Out (2015)
Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley's mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. (imdb)

A bit schematic in its manipulations, but, Christ, this is a deeply sad ode to the fragility of identity. A pit of memories, once cherished, relegated to ash. The protagonists, helpless to do anything, witnessing everything they love about a young girl crumbling to dust under the weight of new experience. In the end, Riley's personality isn't restored; instead, the foundation of a novel personality is built from the rubble of half-forgotten memories & new knowledge of the world, disenchanted.

I had removed myself entirely from family films, so I don't know or care where this falls in the Pixar canon. It was intelligent, insightful and entertaining. Any film that values sadness AND makes you cry has done you a service just by existing. I don't like Amy Poehler and I don't like people full of joy and I still enjoyed this. Side note: my son's first full movie and first theater experience, at a drive-in no less. I guess maybe I am an awesome dad.

Very well-made movie, Inside Out has a story that does an excellent job of showing us why we have these emotions and why we all have to feel the way we do about different events and things in our daily lives. The explanations for our emotions is done so well! Also, characters are all lovable and the story is pretty great, along with some very talented voice acting. It's also really colorful! I really grew to like Riley the more I watched it too. Slightly overhyped, but it deserves a watch.

It's the classic Pixar "polar opposites forced onto journey where they travel through strange lands and ultimately succeed but learn more about each other along the way and ultimately come closer together" story. As intriguing and successful as the concept of the inner mind having its own personalities is, the film deals in just too many genericisms to really achieve new heights. Edit: After ruminating on it for weeks... it's much better than I initially thought.

Pixar initially separated itself from Disney by doing an amazing thing. Instead of creating films that would serve as imagination fodder for children, Pixar spoke to kids ABOUT the issues that they face everyday. Toy Story delved into the way kids play. Monsters Inc. normalized childhood fears of the closet. Finding Nemo dealt with getting lost. Inside Out is their first film since Cars to dive into the way children see the world (honorable mention to Brave). And it's a fantastic return.

The most Pixar movie ever made, inventive, imaginative and emotional, Inside Out is a beautiful film that helps audiences young and old gain a deeper understanding of the complexity of their emotions and learn the valuable lesson that all emotions have their place, and trying to suppress those emotions can lead to disaster. It might not be the best Pixar movie ever, but it's one that only they could have pulled off.

The novel personified emotions gag is an inspired way to explore what prompts our everyday reactions. Some elements are less closely tied to the reality of how our minds work (the instant breakdowns of the structures representing Riley's identity felt like story mechanics). But the film is filled to the brim with marvellous ideas (The Forgetters might be my favorite). The family dinner sequence (from the trailer) that visualizes our inner emotional lives when interacting is especially brilliant.

Pixar's best original film in years. It's emotionally touching in the way the studio always is at its peak ability, but it's also imaginative in a really refreshing way, and incredibly mature in its conclusion that sadness is not equivalent to something bad. Besides being a great addition to the personified-animated-characters collection, it represents an outstanding coming-of-age story, perfecting something Pixar previously explored in Toy Story 3 and Brave.

An intelligent and comical representation of the conflicting and complementary emotions that wage battles and compromises in our heads. Every little decision is a major internal existential debate, a new normal in this age of anxiety.

Inside Out was cute and clever. It's better than other films that Pixar has released, but I don't think it's nearly as good as some of their other material. It was a super by-the-numbers plot and predictable to the point where I wasn't very moved by it (like I was hoping to be) because I could ascertain what would happen well in advance of when it did. Not only that, but it was standard "unlikely duo reaches enlightenment on a journey" fodder. Pixar is retreading safe territory, unfortunately.

This movie has so many great things to it. The character designs for the internal characters looks simple but effective. The external characters look specific enough to recognize, but general enough to relate to. Most importantly, Pete Docter absolutely nails how it feels as a kid when something big changes in your life and you can't control it. The feelings of powerlessness and loneliness that kids feel at this time, he depicts perfectly. The gimmick seems like a cheat, but it really works!

The animation was mostly very cute and amusing, but some was a bit odd. I was not entirely satisfied with a few of the plot points, such as joy and sadness going on their strange trek, constructs falling into the abyss, etc. There were many humorous moments, and the overall story is engaging and emotional. There is a lot to like. Some of the artistic license seem to subtract from the overall art quality. It was fun to watch despite the rather predictable ending.

As imaginative as you can get, Pixar once again hits a home run. Might be a little too heavy for the younger ones, but it's a perfect film for kids aged 9-12, as it's a learning experience as much as a piece of entertainment. Made me think about my "memory dump" while I was watching it, and dare I say it...made me feel.

Excellent. I'm learning to appreciate Pixar films in a whole new way now that I have kids, and this one in particular hit all the stirring emotional buttons. I don't see as many nods to adults as some of Pixar's earlier works, but it's an incredible kids film. The only area that could be improved upon was adding a more pressing real life issue that leads to Riley's emotional turmoil, because the script plays it a bit safe. That aside, the world inside Riley's mind is the stuff of movie magic.

Well constructed, smart, imaginative and ambitious, featuring quality animation and some well-cast voice talent. It succeeds in being funny, very funny in parts, as well as hitting a range of other emotional beats effectively. It all seems grounded in a plausible reality, ie. the experiences of the little girl, and this provides a solid base for the more fanciful elements to play off. The kids liked it as well. Well worth seeing.

Inside Out is lovely and it's certainly a step in the right direction for Pixar. But although it's genuinely entertaining and rather inventive, I can't help but feel like there's a lot more they could have done with the premise. It just doesn't scale the emotional heights of Pixar's best works.

You wanna make a funny movie about anthropomorphic emotions squabbling in your head? Go for it. Want to make a poignant film about a child going through emotional upheaval due to life circumstances beyond her control? I'd love to watch it. While Inside Out has a good number of worthwhile scenes that hint at great potential, it falls flat on its face trying to mix the two because the interaction feels forced and undermines everything about the human portion of the film.

While the movie does an admirable job giving every emotion its due, one can't help but feel these are "soft" emotions. There's no sympathy for the devil and life is mostly safe and uncomplicated. Riley is sad because she misses all the great times she had in Minnesota, not because her family was executed by ISIS in Syria and she now eats cold beans out of a can in a refugee camp in Jordan. But hell, I loved the colors (!), the movie's got heart, and Riley (and her emotions) are super lovable.

A mostly brilliant back-to-form Pixar adventure, that quite literally triggers more emotions, than mostly everything out there while actually delivering a pretty abstract message for a kids movie. I would have appreciated some more playfulness visually, and there were some obvious plot points along the way, but that's just me being old and sad.

It's so appropriate that Inside Out, a film about emotions, is Pixar's most emotional film by far. Wall-E used to be the champion for me for that very reason: it touched me; but Inside Out did more than tug at my heart, it had me and the entire theatre openly crying tears of sadness and joy. This is more than a comeback for Pixar, it's a new precedent for what they can accomplish. I laughed hard, I cried hard, and I loved every second of it. Upsettingly wonderful.

Brilliant family film that manages to tell a story as emotionally nuanced as any supposedly "mature" movie. Despite some obvious plot points & potentially convoluted craziness it comes off superbly engaging & coherent. Laugh out loud funny & profoundly emotional without an inch of cheesy sentimentality. Awesome writing that brings all audiences together rather than just having separate jokes for adults & kids. More subdued in terms of music & visuals but that really works with this story.

This quickly reminded me of why Pixar captured my heart so long ago. It's immediately striking on both a visual and emotional level, utilizing its beautiful portrayal of our inner emotions to create a colorful and imaginative world built out of memory and personality. What I loved most about the movie is how it deals with the effects of the passage of time on our psyche, literally illustrating how fond memories become tinged with melancholy.

A film trying to explain the complexity of emotions in simple terms. It succeeds quite well, showing how confusing growing up can be for both the kids experiencing the emotions and the parents. The comedy is ever present and often quite funny and the vice acting is wonderful. At first I thought the movie was going to show depression, and I probably would have scored it a million points because the girl's age is about the time mine started to kick in. I understand why they didn't go there.

Here's what really happened: Riley's parents were notorious drug dealers back in Minnesota but the Feds were closing in on them, so they sold all their furniture, skipped town and headed off to San Francisco to set up a meth lab. Figuring all the upheaval would make the obnoxiously upbeat Riley jittery they decided to switch her from Lithium to Valium, but the meds got mixed up in the move and they ended up giving her the LSD they had stashed in the glovebox for a special occasion. Poor Riley.

Very cute, very beautiful, very imaginative, and very well written. It's got some very insightful and interesting things to say about the nature of emotions (obviously), memory, dreams, maturity, imagination, personality and balance. The topics in this film are so abstract, Inside Out is an ideal subject for critical analysis.

Inside Out is an original, interesting, funny, and often heartbreaking movie that looks into the mind of an 11-year-old, and does so with so much chaos and sophistication that it probably shouldn't even work - and yet it does, and it does so with such imagination and beauty that fills every frame. This is what a family movie should look like. [Full Review]

One of Pixar's most emotionally fulfilling films as a whole, absolutely nailing its simple concept. Perfectly balanced between showing the real world life of a child and the way moments affect us in positive and negative ways. Yet it doesn't quite reach the top tier of the Pixar catalogue for me. The humour skews very young, which really fits the movie but left me not quite connecting with some of the sillier elements of the plot. Still excellent though. Pixar's best since Toy Story 3.

In my mind, Inside Out is one of Pixar's finest outings. Second only to The Incredibles, it speaks to people of all ages and brings out all of the typical feelings that a Pixar movie would, in obvious and subtle forms. Definitely one of the best movies this year, so far.

Inside Out is not quite the timeless classic that I feel Up, The Incredibles, the Toy Story films, and Wall-E are, but it does show us that the cross-generational Pixar we know and love is back. The voice casting is superb, and the animation is golden as always, but its premise sets it apart. I can't think of a film that has examined the human mind in such a unique yet strangely accurate way. I'm not sure how much of it will be grasped by kids, but the more seasoned viewers will have a blast.

Pete Docter does it again. This was one of the most inventive and creative Pixar movies I have seen in years. The movie took a simple premise of moving from your home and growing up and layered it by literally bringing emotions to life. The voice acting, especially by Amy Poehler (Joy) and Phyllis Smith (Sadness), was absolutely fantastic as well.

Pixar's best film since WALL-E and it's nice too see them off the Cars/Monsters sequels train. Kids will enjoy the colors, adults will reflect on past anxiety, depression and forgotten memories. Smart, funny and sad at the same time. This is such a well put together film, its unique, don't miss it!

Either 85 or 90, will re-evaluate. Not the best Pixar but that's simply because I felt that there were periods that slacked a little. But then it was so easy to forget those because of the extremely memorable and amazing scenes that were scattered throughout. None of it was ever bad, and there was some emotional depth along with a clever representation of emotions. That fucking gum jingle though (awesome reoccurring gag). Thoroughly enjoyed it though, great flick.

A fun, sweet film that is about coming to terms with your emotions. I am always surprised by how Pixar does this, because it is a kid's film for kids, but they don't shy away from explaining difficult concepts. In this film, it explains how identity is formed and maintained, and how constant change is a necessity of life, but explains it in such an easily digestible film.

Numerous creative anthropomorphisms and objectifications of the mind entertain (room of abstract thought), intrigue (the idea of personified emotions controlling another person doesn't always click but there is lots of potential-see the charming final glimpses into other minds), and move (the pit of forgotten memories, crumbling identity islands). Simple and sweet stories with nice messages on both levels lose a little bit of impact and depth of characterization by having to share screen time.

Inside Out is one of the surprises of 2015 and I absolutely loved it. Innitially this was one of the few Pixar films I wasn't hyped to see, but I avoided the marketing and had no expectations. I was pleasantly surprised though and Pixar have ambitiously excelled themselves once again. The concept is genius and this really is a remarkable children's film. Inside Out has so many wonderful ideas and messages that are complex but also exquisitely presented for all ages to relate to and understand.

But by the time Inside Out finishes, we realize that Sadness isn't the villain. She's the hero. She allows Riley to grieve over the losses she's sustained in her big move/life change and, eventually, move on and change for the better. (pluggedin.com)

An inventive and insightful movie from Pixar as they take on a complex concept where the emotions are at center of the story. The emotions can be recognized as the voices in our head and after young Riley moves to a new place, it's the beginning of a conflict between Joy and Sadness. We're taken on an adventurous journey as Joy tries to better understand the intricacy of Sadness, which makes for an intimate, fun and incredibly emotional ride.

As time goes on, I'm increasingly seeing the man behind the curtain when it comes to these Pixar flicks, trying his damndest to recreate the first ten minutes of Up, going "CRY, YOU FUCKS! CRY!" Sorry, Pixar, I have no tears left for you. But that doesn't mean that the film isn't entertaining and massively imaginative in its idea and settings and visuals.

Inside Out is undeniably a good film. The premise is interesting (but not wholly original..."Osmosis Jones"), the animation is cute, and the voice acting is spot on. I found myself engaged with the Riley plot more so than the Emotions' plot, which felt a little contrived and frankly silly and simplistic. There are plenty of good ideas within that receive a more subtle touch and are better off for it. Overall, it's Pixar's most emotionally manipulative film to date, but it's still enjoyable.

Sounds like the kind of premise that either won't have legs or will have too many, but Inside Out is smart and concise and has a lot of fun with its concept. Top tier Pixar in that it rinses your emotions but gives you plenty of spectacle in return (and a neat takeaway box at the end for its lessons).

It goes a bit far in a few places, but it's easily Pixar's best since Toy Story 3 - and not far off it in its best moments. Had me in a lot of tears several times and I really don't feel like I can ask for more.

What a beautiful, original, heartfelt piece of work this is. Docter delves deep into the human condition while somehow pulling off an entertaining family adventure. It's best not to think too much about the logic of what's going on; just like the real brain, the actual processes that create memories and personality are fuzzy and chaotic.

It would have been clever and cute as a short film but drags to fill its feature length; no development and no real character (Bing Bong comes closest) means that the concepts and images have to carry interest the whole time, and they just barely do.

Adorable Inside Out (2015), but I wasn't feeling the love for it as an all-time great. I guess Disgust had a hand at the controls pushing some buttons.

This was a great movie if you are an adolescent but this is the first time I was watching a Pixar movie quoting Danny Glover. "I'm too old for this shit." I found the situations and scenes to be overly simplistic and while this would appeal to a child, it was too basic for me. Also, portraying the dad's emotions as the classic stupid male is getting so old. They also show him talking with investors for his startup, really consistent there guys. Voice acting was weak as well.

Clever depiction of the psychic apparatus as above all a generator and manager of competing affective forces, but this style of computerised animation is quite unappealing and the humour only sporadically successful.

W4E1P2S1V2M2A2R2. A great film with a brilliant concept that's really moving. The short film consisting of the first and last 20 minutes would be a perfect score easily. But it's dropped because the middle is just a drawn out series of riffs on the main premise--expanding the analogy of the inside-your-brain world with more and more clever minutiae--that doesn't really add much to the plot and makes it drag a bit.

Inside Out captures the essence of human emotion at its most fundamental and relatable level, though certainly with plenty of added flair and imaginative creativity in support.

The closest an animated film has ever come to being as good as Lion King or NIMH. This film made me feel and think in ways I wouldn't have thought myself capable of. I mentioned myself a lot in the review. Which I have done because this film is about personal feelings. The film is Pixar's masterpiece and a wondrous adventure through the complexities of human emotion with a decidedly human approach. Pixar has set the bar almost too high... Again...

A rare Pixar film that didn't connect with me. The distinct personalities ended up being fairly similar except for Joy and Sadness. I'm glad that Phyllis Smith got an acting role. As an adult watching a kids' film, I groan a little inside when the film foreshadows or flags upcoming repetitive conflicts; here we see early on that there are multiple islands to extend the film's runtime. Soul did a better job showcasing our psyche. Fav scene: the first time we see inside the parents' emotions.

At the beginning of the film I lyrical thought: "This is going to be the best animated film i'll ever see!" But then the movie shifted too much from Riley (person) to Joy (emotion), and I realized Pixar still makes films for the whole family, kids included. There will be sequels, I hope they'll be that good as Toy Story 2 and 3.

Another fine but predictably average Pixar flick that you'll have almost completely forgotten within days of seeing it. This time we're looking at the inner-workings of the adolescent brain, following the personified emotions as they attempt to retrieve core memories from being lost forever. There are sharp gags and observations, but also plenty of laziness on show too - not least with the prerequisite frantic/confusing action scenes and overly-schmaltzy ending. Ho hum.

Gotta go a bit against the grain here. Disney-Pixar isn't AUTOMATICALLY money, and being perfectly honest, "Inside Out" is FAR from my favorite Disney-Pixar creation, much less my favorite kids movie ever or even among the best movies I've seen this year. That said, there's a lot to like! The animation is unbelievable. It's got a good message behind it. The climactic scenes have immense emotional depth. And if it truly does help a younger audience understand themselves better, more power to it!

As with Up, Wall-E and Monsters Inc. it's the deeply original and borderline ingenious story foundation and conceptional idea that's the main attraction - not the pretty forgetable plot itself. But even though Pixar rarely has used such conventional methods of storytelling the both deeply touching, thoughtful and charmingly funny details more than makes out for the dull getting from a to b and ensures that Inside Out ends up as one of the year's memorable movies.

If you ever wonder what a Pixar movie is, this is it. It's quirky, imaginative, fun, sweet and made in a way only Pixar can. Pixar is back! Sometimes a children story can explain something complex better than any scholar ever could. Lion King explained death to children. Likewise Inside Out is Pixar trying to explain depression. And boy do they succeed. Inside out has it all, Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and even Disgust. Sweet and fun movie that will make you feel and understand your feelings.

Pixar has long since mastered the all-encompassing kids movie, you know, the ones that have just as much entertainment for adults as they do kids. "Inside Out" is somewhat limited in that aspect. It's still an excellent kids movie, but for those of us that aren't kids anymore, it's just not quite up to the sublime expectations that have been set previously.

Pixar totally hit the nail on the head as far as growing pains are concerned. I could totally identify with each stage she went through, and I can see the same thing in my 3.5 year old daughter. Kudos for not casting Rob Schneider, too.

A bit over hyped, but still sufficiently clever and well cast. Being a childrens film it obviously can't delve deep into the psyche but it does a good job at not just playing it easy all the time.

For the most part it's a great movie with a great voice cast. At times it will even hit you in the feels. Though to be among the best of the best Pixar films it has to consistently walk that line between kid and adult film. The reason this one doesn't score higher is that for long stretches its just a slightly above average kids movie. The film would have benefited greatly from either holding off or concluding the adventure storyline sooner. Everyday life was actually more interesting for once.

There's some clever stuff going on here, there was a bit that gets emotional, and I was really rooting for it, really trying to enjoy myself. But, just like "Wreck-It-Ralph" wasted the second half of its running time in that awful "Sugar Rush" (candy land) game, you could title the second-half of Inside Out as "Running around aimlessly with Bing Bong". Would I recommend a friend to run out and spend $10 to $15 for this? No I would not. Worth it to see for free on a streaming service though.

Great to see a cartoonish psychoanalytical film about a girl developing depression for the first time -- for the whole family! Given that this takes place in her mind, Pixar go to town with their creativity and imagination with the setting and design, as well as the unashamedly high level of jokes and puns happening inside the mind. Constantly funny and occasionally very emotional, along with great animation, this is a mature family film that's universally accessible without being dumbed down.

On a personal level, which this rating reflects, it's okay. It's excellent for children, fun and vibrant with a unique way of looking at the emotional troubles kids will face growing up. But compared to other animated works this year focused on mental health and emotions *cough*Anomalisa*cough* it's simplistic.

pixar once again plays the human-trombone with artistically crafted imagery and scientifically calculated emotion, and they are truly masterful at it. the concept is really great, but the situation it's used on is so mundane that it ends up shying away from anything more profound than "sometimes you have to be sad." wow. go figure. hey kids! life is a confusing nightmare of uncertainty and disappointment that most likely ends in a painful, agonizing death struggle. and it'll all be for nothing!

Fucking fantastic. I love this concept. Herman's Head was a bit unpolished, but Pixar took that concept, boiled it down, made it less about getting laid, and included a few scenes that made me cry. I think the world is ready for the return of Herman's Head. Maybe animated. Until then, I loved Inside Out.

An ode to difficulties of growing up. I was probably moved by it more than most 8 to 11 years olds in the theatre (some jokes sounded straight up for the grown-ups). I am not sure that's what the producers wanted, but still a great watch if you have that soft spot for animations, you miserable adults.

by the time we get to inside out 3 and riley's working some shitty desk job before coming home to drink a bottle of wine each night only the pale husks of sadness and disgust will be left laying there in the rubble of shattered dreams and broken promises gazing vacantly at distant happy memories before they too turn to dust. of course, based on their miserable ratings for this, most of my kumps must already know how that story goes.

It's cute, but I found the execution to be way too simple. This movie didn't move me as much as other Pixar films, and I thought only 2 scenes were really funny; one just before the ending and one during the credits. That to be said, I did enjoy it, but unfortunately nothing 'wowed' me.

I think there's a pretty good chance this is Pixar's best film yet. It stages the emotional turmoil of a preteen as a battlefield and to beautiful effect, and it's incredibly vibrant and imaginative while still retaining a melancholy core.
