Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley's mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school. (official distributor synopsis)

Inside Out is definitely one of the most original animated films of recent times - there are very few films with such an idea and execution. I liked the portrayal and behaviour of the individual emotions, each of which had something to it. In fact, the entire content of (not only) Riley's head was thought out with the greatest amount of imagination, from long-term memory, to imagery, to forgetting. The film managed to evoke both "joy" and "sadness" in me during those ninety minutes, which just goes to show that there is no sadness in life without joy, and vice versa. After all, the remaining emotions (Fear, Anger and Disgust) are part and parcel of each of us and it is important to keep them in balance. The funniest scenes were the dream factory, the insight into other people's heads, and the recurring Triple Dent commercial, while the line with Bing Bong managed to really move and rode a rather sadder wave. All in all, this is a very well done piece of animation and storytelling that rightfully deserves both thumbs up, while managing to appeal to audiences of all ages.

Unfortunately, I don’t share the surrounding enthusiasm. You can’t deny Inside Out’s brilliant core premise, which could be the basis of something truly exceptional and ambitious. The playfulness and creativity can’t be denied, either; the film is full of interesting visual ideas, gags, whatever (the switch to other heads). But everything around that, though effective, is just ordinary and predictable.

An extremely imaginative treat for the soul from Pixar. Playful, funny, moving, for young and old alike, in short, an ideal combination of everything, supported by Giacchino's beautiful music and spiced up with unreal jokes like domestic arguments at dinner. A beauty. I'm still soft from all this. But pleasantly soft.

What can I say about this movie? The colorful visuals are beautiful; the animation is of a high standard, has a fascinating narrative (sometimes almost predictable), and the setting is really nice. The scriptwriting and subject matter really succeeded in portraying the inner world of a young girl, portraying her different emotional states and the human mind, so I appreciate the creators’ imagination in coming up with something so good. Among the other positive things about this movie is its sense of humor. However, some jokes, like the memory of an advertising jingle that kept popping up unexpectedly, were not that amusing. Otherwise, what would a movie about emotions be without emotions? I have to say that with this movie, the screenwriters made it both charming and melancholic. They managed to make it powerfully moving, and I almost shed a tear during the scene with the pink elephant/cat/(dolphin) at the bottom of the abyss. I have to say that I did not simply get through the movie; I had a great time watching it. When I compare it to other animated movies I have seen this year, after the unreal Song of the Sea, this was probably the most fun I have had so far, so I am going to award it 8.5/10.

A divine fairy tale with tons of jokes, built on a great idea and great characters. The entire movie theater was laughing, the children were breathless, here and there a child whispered that he was scared, there was a conspicuous silence during the sad scene with the elephant, and finally everyone was breaking out in laughter again. I even felt as if someone had finally explained my behavior and that of all the people around me, and as I watched, my emotions clearly led to glowing joy. And maybe I was just getting manipulated inside my head, but I think this was one of the best cartoons I've ever seen. So everyone grab the kids and run to the movies to clear your head. And if you don't have kids, borrow some. And if they won't let you have them, go yourself, because this is worth it. 5 stars.
