Review of Inside Out (2015) by Thequietgamer — 30 Nov 2015

Arguably the most mature work by Pixar to date. It's not among the funniest films in their repertoire, but certainly among the most meaningful. It evokes real emotions with it's maturely written tale that's wrapped up in a family friendly package. There's something here for the whole family, even if it won't keep the kids rolling on the floor with laughter.

It has some of that classic Pixar feel and magic. The voice cast is amazing and the animation just as incredible. The high level of quality we've come to expect from the studio in the presentation department is back in full force. It's really a very strong return to form for them after a few duds. If you love the studio then this is the chance to give them another shot.

It's emotional, complex, deep, and affecting. An animated family movie that has something for the whole family, especially the older ones. I just wish it was funnier overall. I never really found myself laughing. I chuckled from time to time, but my main interest was in the story and themes. It makes me wonder if this won't be just a touch boring for the younger viewers. Still, it really is a must watch regardless of age. Even though it's animated it offers more for adults than what is typically offered to them. It's an excellent movie and you'd be bereft to miss it.

I give it an 8.
