"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 causes some new tensions, especially as their furniture seems to have been lost in transit! Inside her pretty little head, we see her …

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 this with children of all ages. The older or more mature the child is, the deeper you can delve into the issues of what to do about …

Sweet story. 'Inside Out' 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. are memorable, the voices behind them aren't all that standout in my opinion. Phyllis Smith is my pick of the cast, she is the perfect person to …

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, and a lighthearted cast of characters (particularly Amy Poehler as Joy). By far one of the most phenomenal animated movies I've ever seen …

Very interesting idea for a movie. Sadness drives me crazy though. Pretty decent movie though. It's a good family to watch together.
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 181 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post).

The 95-minute film Inside Out debuted out of competition at the 68th Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2015, followed by a premiere on June 8 at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. In the event at Cannes, the film received an eight-minute standing ovation. Inside Out was also released in Dolby Vision, making it one of the earliest films to adopt the format. In theaters, it was accompanied by a short film called Lava (2014). Inside Out was initially scheduled for release on May 30, 2014, but was postponed to June 19, 2015. During its opening weekend in the United States and Canada, Inside Out grossed $90.4 million across 3,946 theaters, 3,100 of which were in 3D, debuting at…

60 of 187 · most liked firstTo reiterate: Pixar's Inside Out 2 is the highest grossing animated film of all time. Pixar also pushed artists into 7-days-a-week crunch, and right when they were getting to the finish line, laid them off. These overworked artists lost their bonus, healthcare, and income in SF.

neutral · AI labelView post →Inside Out 2 cost well over $200mil to make, not including marketing. You can make nearly 14 of our movie with that kind of budget. And despite it low cost, the quality of the hand-drawn animation, cast, artwork and story is just as astounding as it’s more expensive contemporary counterparts.

I had a feeling this was gonna be a big film, but even I'm amazed how quickly it broke the record in a short time.

This scene in the film really does feel like a nice tribute to Chuck Jones and Maurice Noble, as it does feel something out of their shorts The Dot and the Line and High Note.

It took just 21 days for 'Ne Zha 2' to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time. It took the previous record holder 'Inside Out 2' 80 days of global release to reach the same amount.

positive · AI labelView post →“Inside Out 2” is very good. But it’s so resonant, I’ve had to watch it in pieces. 😩 This movie is my version of prestige horror.
positive · AI labelView post →One of the big reasons why I loved Inside Out 2 was how it really understood how to grow and develop its characters further. In the first film, Joy tells Sadness that Riley needs her while in the second one, Sadness tells Joy that Riley wants her. It really shows the trust.

neutral · AI labelView post →I recall the exact moment I knew "Inside Out" was going to be a great movie. It's when Anger was not presented as the villain, but as the emotion that helps you fight for justice. Practically no other team would have made a "emotions are people inside our heads" movie and do that.
positive · AI labelView post →When Inside Out 2 broke the record to become the new highest grossing animated film, I did not expect that it would only hold on to its title for about 9 months...let alone be dethroned by a Chinese animated movie. And the craziest part is that Ne Zha 2 is only getting started.
