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.Written

User Reviews
This is the Pixar I Know and Love
Please excuse any mistakes as my English is not very good. There
are no spoilers in this review.
I had the pleasure of seeing 'Inside Out' at the Cannes Film Festival and I must say it was wonderful and a huge step-up from Pixar's recent efforts. The trailers don't really do it justice. The story may seem complicated for younger viewers, but the way Pixar tells the story fits for both adults and children. The pacing is in the vein of Wall-E, and in that sense it is very much a film for adults as it is for kids (like most Pixar movies). The story here is surprisingly raw and emotional, one that has very deep underlying themes that adults will connect with. Many of the audience members were crying at the end. It has one of the most original stories for an animation in the last few years, and I believe many people (especially adults) will form a connection to it.
Speaking of animation, the film is breathtakingly beautiful. There is a nice contrast of colors that make it look vibrant, like Pixar's 'UP'. The voice cast did a wonderful job and you couldn't ask for better direction from Pete Doctor and co. I cannot wait to see this a second time with family and friends. Highly recommended.
PS: The short that played before the film, 'Lava', was also beautiful. It was sort of a musical, and it was quite funny and clever. The audience even applauded at the end of it, myself included. In that sense, it provides the entire package a nice balance of joy and laughter (Lava) followed by deep storytelling and emotion (Inside Out).
