Storyline
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.
Inside Out was a poignant and touching story, and the movie had layers upon layers of lessons and meaning carefully and masterfully crafted into witty dialogue. There were no gratuitous musical numbers, no endless comedic sequences that make you giggle but don't progress the story, and yet the movie was well-paced, well-written, and thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.
This story truly had something for everyone - the kids in the theater all giggled, the adults sniffled and sighed, and I can think of quite a few former teachers of mine who would have gleefully screened this movie to provide fodder for debate for weeks worth of lessons. Most importantly to me, all of the members of our family left the theater raving about what we had just seen- that never happens... ever. For the first time in years, I felt as if we really got our money's worth when we left a movie. Inside Out is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

When my 4-year-old son begged me to take him to see this movie, I was bracing myself for another round of animation with mindless slapstick comedy for kids and a few one-liners geared towards the parents. Boy, was I surprised!Inside Out was a poignant and touching story, and the movie had layers upon layers of lessons and meaning carefully and masterfully crafted into witty dialogue.
