Crappiest movie EVER!!!!!!!! Whats the point of having the other emotions if the whole psyche fell apart once Joy was gone? Whats the point of having the other emotions to begin with then!?!?!? IT DOESN MAKE SENSE!!!
Inside Out is slightly aimed at more younger children with the appearance of the character Bing Bong. However, adults and children alike can relate to how it feels to be emotional and not being able to control your emotions of anger, sadness, fear, disgust and of course joy! very cleverly written film that is unlike anything else i have ever seen!
What a stupid movie... So your telling me that Joy ... THE EMOTION, is the ONLY emotion that keeps the whole human psyche intact???? Yeah, ok pal...
The human mind is much more complex and sophisticated then a few emotions pressing buttons when ever they see fit. Its as if the movie is saying: "Hey look this little girl has NO personality WHAT SO EVER!!! Without her emotions she is just an empty shell..."
STUPIDEST MOVIE EVER!!!
My emotions are all over the place after watching this movie. Sadness, joyful, fear, angry, disgust.
It's fabulous to see emotions being recognized/acknolwedged for many of our actions. This isn't just a story about a little girl. It's a story about EVERYONE. Yes, even you. If you want to get an idea of why you are the way you are then after seeing this you'll understand. Excellent storyline, true-to-life situations, honarable to the human, ... even my therapist is raving about this movie. It's not usual if I ever would watch a movie twice. But this is one that I would watch again.
[9.8/10] The best compliment I can give Inside Out is that it would still be a great movie if you lopped half of it off. There’s a worthwhile story to be told about an eleven-year-old girl moving halfway across the country and struggling with the adjustment. The emotional beats of Riley feeling like she has to put on a happy face for the good of her parents, buckling under the pressure, and deciding to run away are compelling and poignant on their own.
Likewise, if Inside Out were just a romp through the mind of a child, it would still be uproarious and inventive to the last. The movie works just as well as a buddy picture, with Joy and Sadness traipsing around the infinite, colorful labyrinth, leaping over obstacles both literal and metaphorical, and eventually finding common ground. You could take each of these stories, make it the whole movie, and still create something wonderful and stirring.
But the beauty of the film, and one of the things that makes it so special, is the way those two pieces of its story work together in tandem to produce something greater than either could individually. Riley’s struggles mirror Joy’s struggles and vice versa. The obstacles in the real world translate to obstacles in the internal world, and what affects one affects the other. There’s a stunning synergy to the story the film tells, where each element of the movie is made better, more complete, and more unique, by being a piece of the whole.
That is the glory of marrying a tale of a personified emotion straining to keep a positive attitude while trying to retrieve and restore her girl’s core memories while making her way through a dizzying unknown place, with one of a young girl straining to keep a positive attitude while trying to settle in and find a new sense of comfort and belonging while making her way through a dizzying unknown place. One locale is the inner workings of a child’s brain, and the other is San Francisco, but it’s up for debate which is scarier or more bewildering.
Even more impressive is how seamless Inside Out is in the effort. There’s never a moment in the movie that feels dull, irrelevant to story or character, or incapable of provoking an emotional response. That response may be delight at the wondrous worlds crafted by co-directors Pete Docter, Ronnie del Carmen, and Pixar’s peerless creative team, melancholy at the film’s many heart-rending moments, or laughter at its brilliant comic routines, but by god, everything in the film works and works together. The movie can jump from Joy’s escapades, to Riley’s first day of school, to the rest of the gang’s antics back at HQ without missing a beat or taking anything away from the picture.
Part of that owes to the brilliant structure and framing of the film, but much of it owes to impeccable casting. Richard Kind nearly steals the show as Bing Bong, Riley’s goofy yet heartfelt imaginary friend, and young Kaitlyn Dias does a stellar job conveying the realness of what poor Riley is going through. If that weren’t enough, I’m not sure there’s ever been a better match between performer and character than for Riley’s emotions. Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black, Mindy Kalig, and Bill Hader are, literally and figuratively, Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear personified.
The film’s humor, whether slapstick, situational, or downright absurd, soars with such ringers on board. Borrowing from the NBC comedy bench also gives the film a chance to inject real character in moments big and small. But Poehler is the star here. As Parks and Recreation fans know, she’s capable of turning from bubbly optimism to goofball comedy to heartstring-tugging pathos on a dime. Joy, ironically enough, provides her a vehicle to show her full range, and humanizes the little sprite’s can-do spirit and blind spots. While backed by a flawless ensemble, Poehler anchors the film and does so with literal flying colors.
It’s easy to shine with such a bright and imaginative world to explore. The inside of Riley’s mind provides Pixar’s animators and dream-weavers an opportunity to go wild in visualizing the internal processes of the human brain. Interludes in a zone for abstract thought, an imagination land, a movie studio that makes dreams, and a valley of subconscious nightmares allow the film’s creative to let loose in conjuring up clever, amusing, and eye-catching representations of these functions and show off the studio’s aesthetic abilities without limitation.
It doesn’t just exist for the sake of empty, if stunning, spectacle though. Docter and fellow screenwriters Meg LeFauve and Josh Cooley use the half-magical, half-industrial space to both convey the inner workings of Riley’s experiences and to set up the world and rules that Joy and her fellow mind-workers live by that inform both journeys. Details like the actual train of thought, the Memory Dump, the control panel that dictates Riley’s actions, the way her core memories connect with different personality islands, all create setups and payoffs. They matter to Joy’s efforts to escape from memory storage and return to headquarters, and to her eventual epiphany and means to solve both her and Riley’s problems in unison.
That synergy pays off narratively too, as Riley’s rough experiences tear those islands asunder and make it harder for Joy to make it back home, while a control panel operated without Joy or Sadness creates more of those experiences, in a feedback loop that threatens all our heroes. And that solution turns out to be the one thing both Joy and Riley have been trying to avoid, contain, and suppress this entire time -- Sadness.
It’s what got Joy into this mess in the first place. She tried to prevent Sadness from affecting Riley’s core memories, and the pair were sucked up and stranded in the process. The whole journey, Joy tries to hinder her erstwhile partner from interfering, poo poos her suggestions, and treats her as a burden rather than a resource.
And yet, over the course of the journey, she sees the good that Sadness can do, in practical and more metaphorical terms. Bing Bong is stymied and incapable of showing them the way until Sadness acknowledges his hurt and shows him empathy. His tear-earning sacrifice represents loss but also growth through that loss. Joy and Sadness’s favorite memory turns out to be the same, one that had measures of both of them, where Riley lost the big game and felt the shame and difficulty of that, but through those things, received comfort from her parents and a cheering celebration from her friends.
That is the cinch of Inside Out. Just as the two halves of the film -- Riley in the real world and Joy in the mental one -- would work well on their own but work spectacularly together, so too do Joy and Sadness go together and create beauty in unexpected ways. Joy realizes that allowing your unhappiness to show rather than bottling it up lets the people who care about you know that you need help, and that, in turn, gets you back to a place of warmth and jubilation. Hurt is not the enemy of happiness; it’s a bridge to help you reach it.
There’s something simple but bold in that acknowledgement, that negative emotions are not meant to be shunned or shuffled off to the side, but embraced and processed as a necessary and vital part of being a fully-formed human. It’s telling that the true looming threat in Inside Out isn’t sadness or pain, but rather numbness. These hardships send Riley into a small depression, where her control panel grays out, leaving her incapable of feeling anything or reaching out for the help she needs.
It takes both Joy and Sadness to overcome that, to work in concert to get back to headquarters and give Joy’s blue counterpart the wheel to make Riley feel again. This feeling leads Riley to a confession to her parents of how much she misses her old home and how much she’s struggling in her new one. That, in turn, prompts expressions of sympathy, shared hardship, and ultimately solace from her parents, as they embrace their daughter and give her the comfort and support she needs.
From there, a miracle happens. To this point, all of Riley’s memories have been color-coded according to the emotion that generated them, wholly red or green or otherwise to signify the sentimental shading. But this moment of great hurt followed by greater comfort and acceptance produces one that is swirled yellow and blue, representing the way this new core memory carries both joy and sadness at once and marking a turning point in Riley’s growing maturity and understanding.
Those negative feelings are not meant to be compartmentalized, but rather embraced, to make us more complete and fulfilled human beings. The combination of joy and sadness isn’t bittersweetness. It is, instead, catharsis, the processing of our toughest moments in our acceptance of them, so that our loved ones know we’re hurting, so that we can deal with those complicated emotions that are not black and white, and so that we can experience the rich fullness of life in all its different hues and shades, rather than hobble ourselves in pursuit of happiness alone.
Just as Joy and Riley’s stories are inextricable from one another and make Inside Out a better film for their combined hardships and glories, so too do joy and sadness work in concert with one another within ourselves, making us better and more satisfied people. That is the grand, animating inside of this near-perfect film -- a cinematic achievement that mixes so many distinctive visions and imaginative adventures and real life difficulties together -- and finds something beautiful and profound when it brings them together.
An incredible movie. It's funny and sad throughout. It looks gorgeous. The voice acting is perfect. It has a unique and interesting concept that send kids an important message about their emotions. One of Pixar's best movies.

The minute I heard about this film, I couldn't contain my fangirling. Pixar + emotional psychology = my favourite things. This film didn't disappoint. The creativity in this film is inspirational. The personality islands, imagination land, long-term memory, even the train of thought. The way it expresses these ideas of how the mind works is magical. Not to mention the way it represents depression. I think this is ground-breaking in establishing an understanding in both how depression works and empathy for how it might feel. It also doesn't actually make a big deal out of it. It treats the subject as a matter of fact, which is such an important message as it is so normal. It will make people think about how their mind works, which emotions run their mind, what their personalities are based on etc. It's so though-provoking but also heart-warming and fun. The characters have some quippy dialogue which brings the entertainment value to colourful and well-thought out world of Riley's mind. I'm debating whether the characters of the emotions get any depth as, as you can imagine, it would be quite hard if their based on a sole emotion however with Joy and Sadness, this is explored a little. What made me well up a bit and I think it's gonna be so impactful to it's audience is how they discover the importance of Sadness. And well, all the emotions. This is so important to teach children and I think this could be a great start for some mental wellbeing lessons. Pixar have truly outdone themselves.
A fantastic, heartfelt movie. Absolutely loved it.
This is one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen. What did they do...watch Dreamcatcher to come up with this garbage? Really? Memory balls? Floating islands? Lost clowns? Come on Pixar, your better than this.
After dabbling in a few films that can merely be described as "very good," Pixar appear to have reverted to expectations and produced another masterpiece. Whilst the plot may well suggest another mismatched duo on a journey to discover they really need each other, this would do a tremendous disservice to what is frankly one of the most interesting and brilliantly conceived concepts that Pixar have ever done. With the film essentially taking place inside the mind of an 11-year old child and her emotions as the central characters, what astounds is not simply the concept, but how well the filmmakers have developed the inner workings of the mind and its development through childhood to the point that it feels so accurate, they could show this to students in lecture halls as well as cinemas. This is a film that practically demands repeat viewings and any film that can depict abstract thought and the subconscious ("It's where they keep all the troublemakers"). in such an entertaining manner deserves it. Pixar is going to struggle to top this one!
This movie is a gift to child psychologists.
Pretty much perfect, though the way it ended felt kinda obvious to me.
That doesn’t make it less profound, or change the fact that it throws some good curveballs during the rest of the film, but the ending is just a tad predictable.
Loved it besides that; great characters, fun, emotional, lots of adult jokes, and also lots of props for not spoonfeeding the deeper themes.
9/10
One of the lesser talked about Pixar movies, we watched for a family movie night as my wife and youngest hadn't seen it yet. I had taken the middles to see it when it was in the theater.
I really like this movie and its smartly done commentary on the importance of emotions. Fun enough for the youngest to stay involved, but with an interesting enough metaphor to keep parents humored. LOVED seeing inside the parents' heads. Be warned though, and this seems weirdly obvious to say, but like a lot of Pixar movies this gets pretty emotional at times.
Also loved some of the casting choices. Amy Poehler as "Joy" and Louis Black as "Anger" were especially great.
This movie is brilliant on so many levels...
As a twenty year old, this film had really hit me in the core. It's overall premises was to convey the state of growing up and our feelings regarding it in an extremely creative way. I cry every time I've watched this movie. One of my favorites.
I really didn't like this one last time and I don't know why.
I had a great time, it took me a while before Sadness stopped frustrating and annoying me but okay.
A beautiful story, beautiful music by Michael Giacchino and it looks amazing.
It was creative, it was ok
Pixar goes cerebral, visualizing hormones and emotions as walking, talking avatars in the mind of a pre-teen girl. Shaken by a cross-country move at a very sensitive age, we see her struggle from both perspectives: in the upstairs control room, where various color-coded operators are baffled by her mood swings, and in the outside world, where friends and family are similarly perplexed. Inside Out is a high-concept production, one which does occasionally beat us over the head with symbolism, but its writing is generally sharp and clever and it’s adept at distilling lofty ideas to a format that’s digestible for all ages. And Pixar certainly knows how to tug the heart strings, as they do repeatedly during the dueling inside/outside crises at the film’s climax.
Not as consistent as the studio’s better efforts, the plot is a balancing act between moments where the philosophical gambles pay off and those where it gets a little too cute. The vital push-and-pull between Hope and Sadness is at the heart of things, an uneasy friendship/rivalry that tips and sways before reaching a state of zen, and that’s handled very well. The two abstract creatures’ escape through the long-term memory banks and bumpy rides on the train of thought... eh, those felt like more of a reach. A convenient use of familiar terms to suit the narrative.
When they work, Inside Out’s big concepts are deep and powerful; an elegant way to dissect complicated thoughts and feelings by way of shiny blue, gold and purple cupie dolls. When they don’t, the illusion swiftly falls apart. Before the story concludes, we get plenty of the former, but also a not-insignificant helping of the latter. A nice rebound from the missteps of Cars 2 and Monsters University, but not quite as sweeping, engulfing, or rewarding as the pillars of the studio’s classic catalog.
the story, the characters, the movie....everything was amazing!
One thing great about this show is how they put across the fact that life always needs a balance. No matter how you wanna shut out the negative emotions and juz focus on being happy, there's always a time we all need to breakdown and juz let our body recover from all the unhappiness. Afterall, we're all juz humans.
While the trailers and adverts might make this seem like it's a happy romp, it's not. Believe me it's not. This, in my opinion, is a very sad film. It took me by surprised me and made me remember aspects of my childhood I don't normally keep at the forefront of my mind. This is despite the comedy and the happy joy-joy attitude seen for about 50% of the film. I really related to Riley, so much so that I actually cried quite a bit at the theatre. I felt a bit embarrassed but I really couldn't help it. It wasn't the acts in the film that made me sad, it was the explanation afterwards. Riley's motivations. Hearing it in words after seeing everything broke me. A Disney film hasn't made me cry like that ever.
You absolutely have to see Inside Out. But, don't go into it looking for it to put a smile on your face after a bad day. It's a really emotional ride. However, the message in the end is really worth it. It's a message that we should really get across to the children of today. I wish the message being put forward by this movie was being aimed at children back when I was a kid. It would have really helped. It would have indeed.
This is a gorgeous movie. There is no villain or external force to fight. It is about a girl who had a very happy childhood learning to deal with loneliness and accepting other negative emotions like sadness. She is learning how to balance all the little pieces of herself (what separates children from adults). The movie shows little kids how you are dealing with stuff on the inside affects how you deal with stuff on the outside.
Pixar returns after a 1 year gap with this literal look inside the mind of a child, Riley. We see her emotions personified into Joy, Anger, Fear, Disgust and Sadness.
The initial few minutes of Inside Out set the scene out in a simple, easy to digest manner. We see Riley at her birth and the simultaneous birth of her simplest emotions, which take control of her. Memories are created and assigned an emotion, represented by a colour, then stored. It’s almost heavy-handed by Pixar standards but this approach quickly starts to make sense as the film goes on.
Everything goes swimmingly until Riley gets knocked for six with a move to San Francisco; a far cry from her native Minnesota. Her friends and interests all get up-rooted and she considers running away. Meanwhile inside, her emotions are equally out of whack as Joy gets knocked off the controls by a traumatic event.
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.
Inside Out isn’t afraid to make choices that will make people cry out ‘that doesn’t make sense!’. That’s because it has instead chosen to operate on a higher plane, exploring the reasons behind our actions and reactions to certain events, our motivations in life and dealing with trauma. If you’re worrying that they only picked five emotions to deal with, you’re missing the point.
The film runs mostly on metaphor, and with that it visits previously unexplored territory in children’s cinema. For instance the suggestion that sadness can often be what helps us through difficult times is not something that sells Minion toys in happy meals; but the film makers don’t seem to care. It’s OK to be sad. Sometimes it’s the only way we can feel anything at all.
There’s also a running commentary on how memories affect every part of our lives, from our current mood, our personality, to how we interact with other people. Docter manages to explain the importance of memories, and equally the importance of loading them with emotion. Simply by changing the ‘colour’ of a memory he’s saying that what one remembers is always defined by how one remembers.
The real stroke of genius is that these relatively complex themes are set to the bright, colourful backdrop of Riley’s mind. The set design and art direction are gorgeous and tie the whole thing together nicely. Pixar seems to be the only major animation studio that genuinely cares about how every frame looks, and here that attention to detail only adds to the film.
One other more ‘technical’ aspect that stands out is the inspired choices for the voice performances. These people haven’t been picked because they are big names, it’s because they fit the bill perfectly. Amy Poehler and Phyllis Smith play Joy and Sadness respectively and their work is a large part of what makes the film so memorable.
On a personal level, I found this to be one of the most fascinating, profound experiences I’ve had from a film. There is so much more to talk about, so much more to be uncovered, that I feel like I cannot do it justice in words.
Another smart, entertaining, emotional masterpiece from the studio.
Inside Out isn't just a movie. It's a doctoral dissertation on human psychology, with a bit of therapy on the side. Miraculously, it's fun, to boot. The level of invention is so high, and the density of detail is so great, that it’s impossible to absorb everything in a single viewing—which is why I’m watching it again (& again & again).
Joy was the most annoying character in this movie. I wanna punch her in her face so much. Yes, there were funny moments but the plot was really boring..
Splendid but a bit too far on the sad side
This is unlike any other animated movie I have seen and I don't think it should actually be under the genre of Comedy because it isn't a happy movie. It has happy moments and it is very touching but it's not happy. It is however a very beautiful movie. I think most people can relate to Riley, maybe too many people can relate to this story and I think it is great that a movie is shedding light on this very big problem. I think it would be great to show this movie is schools and make people aware of what depression can do to a person.
The message in this movie is so very real! One of the greatest animated movies.
Damn! what a beautiful film, and brilliant plot.. left me in an emotionally softy breakdown mess.. damn you pixar, and your emotional films... Pete Docter, Ronnie del Carmen.. well made.. i bet your intentions was to break us.. wasn't it! haha
Personally for me this movie fell flat. Joy the main character came of to me as rude and overbearing. She cares little about the other "emotions" and only for her role to Riley. The other emotions fall apart without her and almost ruin the person they care about? Come on. Like Joy is the only thing holding us together? I get that the end is supposed to encompass Joy's (very slight) character development but it's kind of hard to care about a movie when you don't even like the "hero". The best part of this film is the love and support from Riley's imaginary friend. All in all this movie isn't worth much of your time.
Absolutely amazing movie! Everything about this movie was just right. The jokes, the story, the characters, what a perfect 94 minutes those were. I loved every single minute of it!
Also that cat during the ending credits... I can totally see happening :D
Nobod makes animation like Pixar, they deliver every time & this was no exception! It's not just in the category of animation alone either, I put their top flicks right there with non animation.
Such a great movie on so many levels!! Highly recommended for the whole family, it's not only great fun but like Pixar often does, they teach us something about life & or ourselves.
I'm gutted there won't be a sequel though, at least not any time soon but fingers crossed it happens at some stage because it certainly lends itself to a follow up (that puberty button)
An absolute masterpiece. I from my hometown when i was seven years old. Missed my old house, friends, everything. So I believe I can relate to Riley's journey. What I really loved about this movie is the ending and how sadness helped fixing the whole problem. The way I see it, sometimes you need to accept sadness as a part of you whether you like or not. and that's the difficult part during your childhood
I have only cried, then laughed, then cried, all over again several times.
Haven't watched a Disney movie that played on emotions like that, until now. Remarkable work.
I cried like a baby.
Absolutely amazing. I had been a Riley, always happy, all my life but I've been struggling with depression for the last two years. This movie is just what I needed. A must see for every adult and teenager.
With Inside Out Pixar takes a rather old concept and reimagines it in a wonderful and exciting new way. The story follows an 11-year old girl named Riley as she adjusts to a recent move from Minnesota to San Francisco; and helping her are her core emotions Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear, but when an accident ejects Joy and Sadness from the control center of Riley’s mind she starts to suffer an emotional breakdown. The voice casting is really well-done, particularly Amy Poehler as Joy and Lewis Black as Anger. And the animation is amazing; with extraordinarily creative designs for how the mind is structured and visualized. Another Pixar triumph, Inside Out is a fun and entertaining family film that has a surprisingly touching message.

It was good, it was original, we liked it, but less than others from Pixar
wow this was just incredible. an entire essay could be written on it, really. the idea that we need to accept sadness to be truly happy is, ultimately, what stays with us after it's finished and it could not be more touching and mature. i think this is more impactful for people who've already had to let go of their childhood than for people who are still living it (quips like "riley's 12 now, what could happen?!" and "what's puberty?", etc are truly made for an older audience and i love that). I truly believe this is one of the best coming of age films I've ever watched. Also, the Joy puppet in my head had a big moment when I successfully picked up on that Chinatown reference - perhaps I am a true cinephile now!
I think the beginning and the end are the best parts. Everything in the middle is mediocre and forgettable. It's not a bad kids movie, and it's certainly okay to like it, but I just found all the stuff in the middle really lame. It's just Joy and Sadness trying to get back to the control tower. Sure, there was some cool stuff with Riley and her downfall as a character, but some of it is inconsistent and doesn't make sense according to the logic set up at the beginning of the movie.
It's not bad, but nothing I'd ever rewatch. Typical modern Pixar.
The voices made me watch this
A great family film with some very sad moments that really shows the struggles of being young in modern society
when I've seen this movie first time it was wonderful animated film,then i continue watching like this story!
Heartwarming and unique; nothing you've ever seen before. And surprisingly, it's not too childish. #ShiftvW8
OK, I got to be honest, I didn't expect a whole lot from this movie going in, I figured it was mostly a kids movie with a lot of Disney hype behind it.
Boy, was I wrong. The idea seems weird at first: "Lets make a movie about the emotions of a child.". But Pixar made a weird idea work beautifully (again). It's a very bitter-sweet movie about the pains and realities of growing up, with the world and emotions becoming more complex in the process.
But it still works as a comedy, too. This is at least partially to the credit of the voice actors. They didn't just pick some random big names, they fit perfectly. Joy pretty much was Leslie Knope as a pure emotion, Amy Poehler made that ridiculous optimism work. And Lewis Black fit Anger with his pissed off default character perfectly too.
In short: go watch it, even as an adult, even when there are no kids around, it's just great funny sad sweet entertainment.
Damn sadness, you made me cry! Made me feels thing I never realized I have. Made me realized how much my parents must have been proud and worried about me when i was growing up.
An animation movie where the adults can say "Oh yeah, I've watched it already and it was awesome and such emotional". Another tear-bending animation movie. And they said animation are just for children...
This is a great movie for parents.
It teaches an important thing: you must accept that your children can feel sad or lonely.
That negativity is part of life and you must accept it if it comes.
One of my favorite Pixar films of all time.
This movie is ingenious! Thanks Pixar for making such a heartfelt and meaningful animated film as always.
If you haven't seen this already, it's time to take out your time in your busy schedule and get crackin'
Smart concept, surprisingly inventive and the fabulous animation we've come to expect from Pixar, not to mention truly moving in parts. Absolutely loved it.
Just might be my favorite Pixar film to date (that in itself is utterly remarkable, as the studio's output has been exemplary)
Very cute. As a person with depression I definitely resonated with a lot of the themes in the film. The animation was nice but I wish the character designs were pretty uninteresting, mostly for Joy and Disgust. If you liked Up you would like this, I think.
I was very excited upon seeing the trailer for this movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MC3XuMvsDI
However sadly the movie is nothing like this. I was expecting interaction between different characters and different emotions like in this trailer, however other than this moment and a montage at the start of the credits, everything is inside the main characters head. I still think that could have been a cool concept but as soon as the emotions abandoned there post the movie stopped being about the actual idea that attracted me to the movie, and instead was just a movie about two people trying to get home in time.
Overall I think they could have done a lot better with the ideas from the trailer rather than the ideas from the other 99% of the movie.
Inside Out was as good as it could have been. There was a lot of explaining, just to take the film in particular places. I'm not saying I didn't "get" it... I was just very conscious that the story team cared more about the destinations, rather than the journey... and that took me away from the film. It was so tangled up in itself that I couldn't fully immerse myself in it. I really wanted to love this too.
A good film that deals with a complex topic related to feelings, addressing it effectively. The story is interesting and makes us reflect on how our minds and emotions work, providing touching moments throughout the film.
Kids really enjoyed this one! Animation was good. Story line was decent for a kids movie.
This film is so amazingly done, what a wonderful concept and teaches kids so much, sadness is basically me tbh
Interesting idea and some great parts about how different traits react to different signals of the other person, but the whole middle part was just a drag.
There was like no competition with this movie in terms of animation.
Beautiful, colorful, imaginative and funny and emotional, "Inside Out" is very elegant with the way it produces the story and the beauty and charm makes it definitely worth a watch.
Freud and the others got so tired about it, and it turned out so easy with this so called psyche. ;)
Absolutely adorable and heart tugging film.
Not as good as I thought it would be. Never really seemed to take off.
Sweet story.
'Inside Out' produces an entertaining, heartfelt 95 minutes. I like how the characters work and how their world is set up, conceptually it works very nicely but visually I don't love it - something about the way it looks is kinda plain to me. While Joy & Co. are memorable, the voices behind them aren't all that standout in my opinion.
Phyllis Smith is my pick of the cast, she is the perfect person to play the character Sadness. Amy Poehler (Joy) and Lewis Black (Anger) are more than satisfactory, too.
It has a good message and meaning, for me it's just missing something extra. Still enjoyed it though.
Pixar made it again! Another great movie that makes you drop a tear or two. A great movie to watch in family. 8/10
Animated kids movies are really good for the most part lately. Lately as in the 20 years. Maybe. I don't know. There's some I hate like Happy Feet or Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs or what have you, but generally even a "lesser" studio like Dreamworks puts out good stuff for the most part. Inside Out is neither that great, nor that bad. A big problem for me was I really disliked the design style of the emotions. Felt shapes is.... just dumb. They look dumb. And WOW are they annoying most of the time. And despite some people getting a deeper meaning about depression from it, to me it was just a basic cliche plot about a kid who moved to a new city and it sucks and then she learns to adapt, seen through the eyes of a few emotions pushing buttons. The vast majority of the action takes place in the memory banks and most of it falls flat. The moral is basically "it's ok to be sad, sadness can help us too" and that's nice for children to know and I'm glad we say things like that to them these days.
I'm clearly in the minority, but I just couldn't watch more than maybe half an hour of this movie - I stopped when we get a look inside the parents' heads. Everything annoyed me. Everything.
Nice! You could feel that so much brainstorming was poured into making this. But at the end of the day, it's just a kids movie. A well thought out kids movie that it! But I guess the kid is me has hit puberty and so I didn't find this too enjoyable!
The feeling this movie caused me the most was vertigo.
Not for the smaller kids in the family.
7,8 = Um filme para explorar a ideia do roteirista. Mostra a necessidade de equilíbrio de suas emoções e que talvez isso seja a razão.
Well, it sure is a Disney/Pixar movie.
Well i will agree with the rest this is not a child movie. It is anime but the messages and the feelings i don't know if any of the kids waiting to see a fun ride with villains and the happy princess believe. It is a great movie that parents should take the time to explain it later why sadness and happiness should go together
A very touching movie following one girl and her emotions interweaving stories. This one made me well up at times.
Brilliant movie. I just don't give a '10' to this one because Joy was actually a bitch to Sadness on the beginning
An emotional film that if doesn' t make you cry, will at least leave you with a tear in the corner of the eye.
Beautiful animation that teaches kids in a delightful way how the brain works.
Finally an animation movie with smart jokes to all the family and not the usual 'poop' jokes.
So after I saw inside out, I thought the movie was very meh... This however does not mean I think this movie is bad, I just don't think it is that good. Let's first look at the characters, which already limit the capacity of storytelling possible in this movie. Joy is very clearly the main character of this story and the audience has to use her as an anchor. Thankfully, this character has an arch. It would have been easier to make her a carbon cut out like the rest of them but I was please to see that she had some sort of character development. And by "some sort" I mean bare minimum, because quite honestly I could not see myself caring about any of the other characters. Which is a problem in a movie about emotions. Each one of the characters represents an emotion, meaning that we can assume the characters will react one way and one way only. It does make it simple for a child to understand, but let me just say that i'm not aiming this review for children. If I was at a younger age where my brain was less developed, then i'm sure I would have loved this. But i'm not. So seeing an incredibly un-original and predictable movie at every turn just does not do it for me. The only characters they could have fleshed out are the parents and we barely get any screen time with them at all. I'm not saying you have to develop every character on screen, but they really couldn't develop one? Even the main girl doesn't have any character. Especially considering she is being micromanaged by five other flat characters. Now, I will say this movie is "unconventional" for a pixar movie, but for a normal movie I would say that this was fairly un-original. I am sure many of us have seen this concept done to death. Even the story has been done a million times. Overall, this sticks to the cliché "Disney movie" formula by not making a bad movie, just a predictable one. The animation was fine and it was shot well. But for me, this is a sign that Disney and pixar really need to step up their game and experiment more. Writing characters with the emotional complexity of the 7 dwarves is something any can do. They need to try new things. Because watching characters going on an adventure, is not an adventure if you can see a predetermined path going from point A to point B. If you have any comments or disagreements, please bring them forth. You just may change my mind.
This made me feel fuzzy, and warm... it's an amazing movie! I LOVE IT! #ShiftvW8

Consistently beautiful, hilarious, and moving, Inside Out proves to be one of the smallest Pixar films in scope, but one of the biggest and most successful in ambition.
