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.

Aramide Tinubu Stylecaster Almost as if someone realized that kids were people too...Inside Out truly pushed the envelope when it comes to kiddy flicks. Jun 19, 2019 Full Review Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine Inside Out, which is co-directed by Pete Docter and Ronaldo Del Carmen, may be [Pixar's] most inventive film yet. Rated: 4/4 Jun 10, 2016 Full Review Nicholas Barber BBC.com 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. Rated: 4/5 Dec 8, 2015 Full Review Clotilde Chinnici Loud and Clear Reviews 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. Rated: 4/5 Sep 15, 2024 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film The voice casting is impeccable and the psychology of this film is brilliant. Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Brendan Cassidy InSession Film The voice casting is perfect, the humor is spot on and smart, and like the best of Pixar it brings the water works (three times for me!).

Mei wonderful and beautiful Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/27/22 Full Review María Paula M The movie is very entertaining. It shows the life of each teenager, their ideas, problems, and what they live every day. The emotions help to show how each thought works and how it becomes a feeling, new or old. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Daniel L What I liked most intensely was how they show that all emotions are important, even sadness. It's a movie that makes you think and also moves a lot. I found it very creative and different from other movies. In addition, I really liked the design of the characters and how they represent what happens in a person's mind. It's interesting to see how emotions work as a team, and how they affect our decisions and memories Daniel Lamprea Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Juanita R JUANITA RONDON In my opinion, Inside Out is one of the best animated films I've ever seen. I really liked it because it's not only funny, but it also has a very profound message about emotions. Sometimes we think we should just be happy all the time, but this film shows that all emotions play an important role in our lives, even sadness. I thought it was really beautiful how, through Riley's story, we understand that feeling fear, anger, or sadness isn't wrong, and that sometimes we need to feel these things in order to learn, heal, and grow. I also loved how they depicted the human mind, with memories, personality islands, and the headquarters where emotions work. It was all very creative and helped me imagine how our feelings might work on the inside. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Sharom R I really liked the movie Inside Out because it was both fun and meaningful. It shows how emotions work inside a girl named Riley. I enjoyed how they represented Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust. I learned that all emotions are important, not just the happy ones. It’s a movie that mixes fun with deep messages. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Raymond c RILEY IS THE GREATEST WOMAN OF ALL TIME HANDS DOWN PERION GO WATCH THIS OR ELSE Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
