- jori hepo1234February 16, 2026I can relate to this better than i can to any other movie just 5/5 movie
- Georgi MalinovFebruary 15, 2026Exceptionally creative and well made movie. Great fun and very educational at the same time.
- 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.
- Lucas MagretaJuly 3, 2025from the director of transformers one. this is not as good as inside out 2 and trasnfomers one. this movie did not make 2015 better but just stay as a mid year for cinema
- Manuel FrangisApril 8, 2025I just rewatched Inside Out, and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. When I first saw this movie, I was just a kid. I thought it was funny and colorful and full of weird little characters running around inside someone’s head. I liked the goofy moments, the energy, and how the emotions all had different personalities. But now, watching it again as I have gotten older, I see it in a whole new way. This movie is way deeper than I ever realized. It is not just about feelings. It is about life, change, growing up, and how time is more precious than we think. That is honestly the biggest thing I took from it this time—how fast everything moves and how much even the small moments matter. The story takes place inside the mind of a young girl named Riley, and the emotions inside her head—Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust—are the stars of the movie. When I was little, I saw it as Joy being the best one and Sadness messing everything up. But now, I get that the movie is showing how every emotion matters and how even the ones that feel heavy are part of what makes life real. That hit me hard this time around. The voice acting is great. Amy Poehler as Joy brings so much energy, and Phyllis Smith as Sadness is honestly perfect. She makes the character feel so real and relatable. The way the emotions work together and fall apart feels like a reflection of real life, especially during times when everything feels confusing or overwhelming. And that is exactly what the movie captures—how growing up means dealing with change, letting go, and learning how to handle feelings that do not always make sense. The animation still looks incredible. Everything inside Riley’s mind is so creative, from the glowing memory orbs to the different islands that represent her personality. Even the way dreams and imagination are shown is really smart and fun. But beyond the style, what really sticks is how emotional the movie becomes. It sneaks up on you. One minute you are laughing at a joke about broccoli pizza, and the next you are just sitting there feeling all kinds of things you did not expect. Watching it now, the message that hit me the most was how time moves fast and how important every moment really is. There are parts of the movie that made me think about my own childhood and how much has changed. The people, the places, the routines. Sometimes you do not even notice those changes until they are already gone. Inside Out reminded me that even the memories that make you sad can still be beautiful because they are part of who you are. It is one of those rare movies that really makes you look back and appreciate everything, even the stuff you did not understand at the time. I give Inside Out 5 out of 5 stars because it is one of the smartest and most emotional animated movies ever made. It helped me realize that growing up is not about being happy all the time. It is about learning to feel everything and being okay with that. Overall Inside Out is a movie I loved as a little kid and now appreciate even more as I have grown up. It is about memories, emotions, and how every second of life matters more than we realize. Time is precious, and this movie helped me see that more clearly than ever.
- DdoughnutMay 14, 2025"I'm not crying, you're crying!"
- 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.
