Inside Out Ratings & Reviews
- VarunOctober 19, 2024The first time I watched this movie at age 16, I thought it was perfect because I had also moved to a new country so it was relatable and my parents also loved the movie. Rewatching this again 9 years later as an adult, the movie is still good but not great. The plot of Riley moving to a new place is a good opportunity for storytelling but they only focus on the very early days of adjusting and don’t show any lingering after effects it could have. Something also feels very off as the audience is not really sure how much autonomy Riley really has when the emotions inside her have immense control and are having their own separate journey. I feel like there was so much potential to explore and teach more about the inner workings of the human mind. But I won’t complain too much, I still think for a kid’s movie they did a really good job to make the movie entertaining while depicting fun portrayals of the different aspects of a person. Bing Bong is also a very endearing character, loved his addition. I nearly shed a tear when the goofy island broke down. The comedy is also decent. I like the fact that this is one of those kids movies that you can watch with your parents who really appreciate and understand the themes and spark topics of conversation. I’ll be watching the sequel soon and I’m really hoping that this time around the story and lessons are much more complex and treated with special care for the deeper meanings and nuances because it’s 2024 and people are now way more educated about human psychology.
- SpiciesttacoOctober 10, 2025Great movie showing the main emotions of a kid. I laughed a lot during this too which is a plus because i felt like it was supposed to be somewhat sad. Shows off every character quite a bit too which is a HUGE plus
- PhineasJuly 10, 2025Another Pixar Gem
- mickerdooJuly 6, 2025Well designed with interwoven consequences between outside and "in". Great voices. Helps kids know emotions are okay. Pretty sad at times.

- Argyul AngelovaFebruary 19, 2025I love it
- Tubeman72February 20, 2025Original film ideas are often hiding in plain sight, and Pixar proves this once again with Inside Out (2015). Director Pete Docter based the story on his own childhood. As a kid, he struggled to adapt after moving to Denmark, and years later, he saw his daughter facing similar challenges. This inspired him to explore how emotions work in our minds. The film follows Riley, an 11-year-old girl who moves to San Francisco. Inside her head, five emotions—Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger—manage her feelings. But when Joy and Sadness get lost in her subconscious, everything spirals out of control, and Riley struggles with her new life. Pixar brilliantly captures the transition into adolescence. The imaginative depiction of Riley’s mind, from fantasy islands to her subconscious, makes the film both humorous and deeply moving. Inside Out resonates with kids and adults alike, especially parents watching their children grow up. With stunning animation, a talented voice cast, and a beautiful score by Michael Giacchino, this emotional rollercoaster will stay with you long after the credits roll. Once again, Pixar delivers a masterpiece for the whole family!
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 2, 2025It just doesn't work and gets increasingly annoying throughout its duration. Lacks the heart and inspiration of any of the Pixar films I've seen so far. Don't bother.
