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. Written by

Inside Out Reviews
Nothing but the best from Pixar.
There is some well done
animation going here that's going to make inside out an instant classic
among classics like Finding Nemo and The Incredibles. It was so well
crafted this time around, the movement of the 3D images were better than
anything I've seen before. It's very colorful (like a child's mind),
and the animation give off a scene of action adventure in the movement,
very exciting to watch.
The story in the animation was well written and showed the importance of all sets of emotions to a healthy growing mind. The movie is about young girl Riley's emotions working together to keep the kid sound during a big change in her life. Someone really did their homework on how the mind works and was able to interpret that to a wide core audience with silly little things like A train that carries your thoughts and a Hollywood studio that produces your dreams and the biggest star of the studio was named Rainbow haired unicorn.
The whole thing felt like reading a really good children's book about the effects of a small child moving from the only home she's every known to a new environment. It was so well played out you can't help to cheer.
Joy was the main protagonist of the film, but sadness steels the show with her dead pan humor. Fear and anger are two other notable emotions in the film.
They also had a short film in the beginning called lava which was really amazing and touching.
Absolutely perfect!
