Riley (Kaitlyn Dias) is a happy, hockey-loving 11-year-old Midwestern girl, but her world turns upside-down when she and her parents move to San Francisco. Riley's emotions -- led by Joy (Amy Poehler) -- try to guide her through this difficult, life-changing event. However, the stress of the move brings Sadness (Phyllis Smith) to the forefront. When Joy and Sadness are inadvertently swept into the far reaches of Riley's mind, the only emotions left in Headquarters are Anger, Fear and Disgust.

Almost as if someone realized that kids were people too...Inside Out truly pushed the envelope when it comes to kiddy flicks.

Inside Out, which is co-directed by Pete Docter and Ronaldo Del Carmen, may be [Pixar's] most inventive film yet.

4/5

In the first half of the film, I was being piloted by Confusion and Dissatisfaction. But by the end, Joy was very much in charge.

It is not easy to depict something at complex as depression, or something that resembles depression in Riley’s case. But Inside Out somehow makes sense of it.

It’s such a touching film. I almost cried watching it. The soft, gentle music was already so lovely to listen to, and then I came across this message, which made it even more emotional: "This film is dedicated to our kids. Please don’t grow up. Ever." It gave me this feeling of, "Please don’t grow up. Stay like this. I just want my child to be happy."
