  • This is the most incredible movie I've ever seen :)

  • Another great movie from Pixar. The story in entangling and is structured in a master way to show us in a nice recreation how the mind works and emotions like sadness are important for a healthy life. A must to be seen.

  • A powerfully moving story, Inside Out takes place inside the mind of a young girl, Riley, as she tackles relatively normal hassles, from growing up to moving away. Inside her mind comes five emotions, all with different perceptions of life. There's Joy, who takes charge and her j…

  • I think this is one of the best animated feature films I have ever seen, perhaps even the best one. It is very imaginative, for a start, colorful in ways that capture the eye, and its message is as deep as you want it to be. By that I mean it would be productive and fun to watch…

  • Sweet story. <em>'Inside Out'</em> produces an entertaining, heartfelt 95 minutes. I like how the characters work and how their world is set up, conceptually it works very nicely but visually I don't love it - something about the way it looks is kinda plain to me. While Joy & Co.…

  • Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend. This is a wonderfully little story of world building and exploration of the human mind through a young teen girl who is scare of the huge amount of change happening in her life. The parallel of internal struggle and outward…

  • "Riley" is a pleasant little girl living with her parents in Minnesota where she plays ice hockey, has loads of friends and generally, all in her garden is rosey. Her parents decide they need to move to (a rather drab) house in San Francisco, though, and as you might expect this…

  • Very interesting idea for a movie. Sadness drives me crazy though. Pretty decent movie though. It's a good family to watch together.

  • A fun movie. Not the best but not a bad watch.

  • Inside Out is one of the most emotional (pun intended) Pixar projects ever made. The way it handles the difficulty of moving to a new place and the harsh feeling of homesickness is both sad and empathetic at the same time. The movie also has colorful animation, plenty of laughs,…

From the trailer's comments

  • Nearly 11 years later, it is getting recommended to me. A true masterpiece of Pixar’s.

  • I wanna see this more than The Avengers 2, Fast and Furious 7 and Jurassic World.

  • This is the most nostalgic Pixar trailer I've seen in a long time. Probably because of all the older Pixar films shown, like Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., and Finding Nemo.
