An enjoyable, emotional family film.

Rating: 9/10 (9 August 2015)

The first thing I can say about Inside Out, is it isn't a kids film - it is a film for all the family. I say this in response to people that day it is hard for kids to follow which, in retrospect, is true. But they don't need to follow the plot line to enjoy it. But I digress.
I took my 4-year-old niece to see the film this afternoon and I found for adults and teenagers, there is a dark, emotional story that can resonate to us. It reminds us of how we were growing up; how we reacted in certain situations and how we resolved them. It also reminds us that we all have voices inside our heads that can manipulate our reactions, and we should embrace them (this doesn't mean we are crazy, it's normal).
For my niece, sure enough, the story was hard for her to grasp, but she didn't need to. There was enough laugh out loud moments for the both of us and she had a blast. She - and kids nearby - didn't spend the whole movie asking questions. They just laughed their way through the film.
The only concern about the film was the *SPOILER* one reference of puberty, but it was a joke for the older people to understand and my niece didn't ask what it meant. If she did, I am smart enough to skip around explaining and so should be all adults.
Inside Out is a healthy balance of great, comedy for children and adults, with a bittersweet story anyone that has gone through the pains of maturity to relate to. A must watch for all the family.
