Inside Out movingly but casually plays with our emotions, like a baby walking her fingers across a parent’s face; it leaves you changed, entertained, nostalgic, dazzled.

Inside Out is nearly hallucinogenic, entirely beautiful and easily the animation studio’s best release since 2010’s "Toy Story 3." Stylistically Inside Out is nothing like Richard Linklater’s "Boyhood," but for its scope in examining the maturation process, it might well be called "Childhood."

Well, this is one of the best Pixar movies of the 2010s.
I just saw the movie and it looks really good. The way they show how emotions work in our heads and the lore it has is really good for a children's movie.
Honestly, this movie is a must-see because it's so good.

“Inside Out” is one of the best and most in-depth cartoon, which I have ever watched. This cartoon is about one girl’s emotions, her name is Riley. And the main hero is Joy, the happiness in this cartoon. Riley grows up and can’t control her emotions. She decided to leave her parents. Will she come home?
Although this cartoon has a difficult meaning, I guess for children “Inside Out” will be an incredible dive into the world of emotions. In my opinion, a mature person can notice critical information and comprehend references in a plotline. I recommend this cartoon, especially for watching with family. I guess everyone finds something special for themselves.

Co-directors Pete Docter and Ronnie Del Carmen have told a very, very small-scale story when you look at what happens in the actual physical world. But in doing so, they've done something very powerful, because they have paid full respect to just how turbulent and important the inner life of a child can be.

A stronger structure underpinning these emotions run amok would have benefitted the film, but then what would feelings be without a little messiness? For many viewers, giving their own Joy and Sadness a workout will be enough to make Inside Out a valuable experience.

For all the distractions and gags, Inside Out argues a more complex idea: that sometimes, Sadness deserves to steer, and that as we age, our happy memories deepen when tinted a wistful blue.

It’s a lovely film that requires a little patience and a friendly disposition, and may be too low-impact to thrive amid a summer of grotesquely overengineered sequels.

The movie itself certainly isn't terrible, the animation is pretty decent and the plot isn't awful though it's pretty basic, so my rating is based mostly on that. However, I will never get over how much I absolutely hate this movie's premise. How do emotions have emotions? like how does any character's character development make sense if they're supposed to represent an emotion? How does Joy feel sad during this film? Look I know I seem like the fun killer here and I usually hate when people are overthinking like that but genuinely I can't with this one I'm so sorry people

Another overrated Pixar movie, this one had some originality as it introduced psychology in the mix albeit with poor execution.

From and Adult spectator point of ****'s a boring movie.
The premise is like a modern cartoon re-interpretation of old school sitcom Herman's Head (from 90's era) but it's not as funny. Problem lies in a very basic story, basic morals, stereotipated characters, childish only humor.
Forgettable movie for an Adult...maybe a child would rise the vote a **** It's inferior to Ratatouille, Zootopia, Wreck-It Ralph 1, Big Hero 6, Finding Nemo or all the old school classic.

After reading all the excellent reviews for this movie I was very disappointed with what I watched. I do not understand its meaning and I certainly did not find it funny. It featured some of the plainest and most boring characters ever and for Pixar's standards it is very poor.
