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.

A+

The holy communion that Pixar fanboys were hoping it would be, Docter's third Pixar effort stands amongst the upper echelon of Pixar's massively impressive top shelf products and is all but destined to only grow better with age.

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.

Inside Out is a film that manages to tackle complex themes in a remarkably simple way. Memorable characters and an easy-to-follow story make it a thoroughly enjoyable watch. Themes ranging from emotional regulation to toxic positivity come across clearly. Even parents and children alike will understand them without difficulty, though each will likely see the film in a different light.

I can't believe this is 11 years old. Such a clever movie about emotions as children grow.
