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.

Critics Consensus

Inventive, gorgeously animated, and powerfully moving, Inside Out is another outstanding addition to the Pixar library of modern animated classics.

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.

Rated: 4/4

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

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.

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!).

This film is definitely worth watching. Its animation and voice acting are truly superb, bringing the characters to life. Expect some humor that's more for the adults, but there are still plenty of moments that will elicit genuine laughs. While Riley's storyline felt a little underdeveloped, Joy's journey offered a much more engaging and entertaining narrative.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Better than the second imo. It captures the innocence of children and their imagination pretty well. Fun family movie.

Una película bastante hermosa y reflexiva, que te puede ayudar a entender y comprender bastante las emociones que hay dentro de ti, también te ayuda a aceptar las mismas incluso cuando llevas ciertos momentos de mala racha, mostrando que siempre existe la esperanza a final el camino, es una película bastante emotiva y hermosa, tiene escenas con un humor bastante familiar aunque es simple incluso para su época, las las piezas musicales de la misma son bastante buenas, toda persona que haya padecido algún trastorno relacionado con autoestima debe ver esta película una vez al menos, la animación no es la mejor, por la época y los colores menso vividos pero definitivamente es algo que nunca vas a olvidar, definitivamente la mejor película de Pixar
