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)

A thrilling and nerve-wracking chase driven by a million-dollar idea, which propelled it forward. That alone would have been enough for a dazzling experience, if it weren't for Riley and her emotions taking it even further. The day after seeing it, every last one of us wakes up and ends up wondering who's currently running your head. At that moment, everything falls into place, and the second layer starts to work, where each plot chapter has undeniable significance. In the end, Pixar is reaching for immortality, because there will always be so many vulnerable and hurt teenagers everywhere.

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.

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.

Pixar is back. An untraditional idea family pack that works like an incredibly emotional (but not in the figurative sense) rollercoaster ride. Pete Docter is in control again, changing everything he touches into gold. A story of Joy and Sadness lost somewhere inside a little girl going through one of the most difficult periods of her life is almost flawless. Parents hold their breath with their kids and they are subjected to Anger, Fear and Disgust. Another movie that says more about us than we realize. Not just entertaining, but educational. Movie of the year, along with Mad Max.

Overrated utter shit that I felt like turning off after half an hour. For me, one of the worst animated films I've seen so far. Absolutely ugly and disgusting animation, the lack of humour is almost unforgivable, it's not funny at all, on the contrary it's a very depressing affair that will only please EMOs and most importantly it's strictly for kids under 5. Terrible! The only thing that separates me from a Boo! rating is the central idea, which was given a total of ten minutes. 10 percent infantile shit that I never want to hear about again in my life.
