What's With The Hate Lately?

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2015)

The recent reviews I've been seeing for this film are completely and utterly ridiculous. I understand that people are entitled to their opinions, but the reasons people are coming up with to dislike Inside Out are just silly.
One person, if I remember correctly, stated that Disney should "stop putting adult themes into their movies". Also, another said that this movie is too "depressing". Are you serious? What do you expect Disney to do? Just make every character bounce around and sing goofy songs? Disney has ALWAYS had adult themes, and Disney ALWAYS has included sad moments. Remember Bambi? That movie was made in the 40's, yet they still had an adult theme, which was the death of Bambi's mother. Yes, it's tragic, but it teaches children about death. Something they WILL have to learn about eventually, so why not start them off young? You people are making it sound like Disney is showing blood and guts on screen. Not all adult themes fall under that. It's good to have adult themes in children's movies. Such themes get children thinking. They ask questions, and want to learn more. They're good to help them learn more about the world. As for the "depressing" part, that helps children learn too. Inside Out did a marvelous job of teaching how it's alright to get upset over something, because sadness is a human emotion we all feel. It also brilliantly displayed how without sadness, we can't have joy. I know some people don't like to see sad moments in children's movies, but they are necessary to help teach the young about the different emotions we feel.
Another reviewer said the film was boring. Well, you can't expect all Disney films to be happy go lucky. This was a more serious film, which as I said before, is good for children to see if done right. If a movie is too serious, then a child will most likely become bored. Inside Out has a good mix of being serious, and having fun. The serious aspects are done beautifully. Particularly the ending. As for the happy moments, they're pleasant to watch. When showing a sad or happy moment, Inside Out shows the emotion with 100% accuracy. I also love how this movie didn't screw with us. When Bing Bong disappeared, I was expecting him to come back at the end, but he didn't. He stayed gone. This is another important lesson to kids. Losing some parts of your childhood is a part of growing up that everyone has to deal with.
As for how I feel about Inside Out, well, you can see that I gave it a perfect score, and in my mind, it deserves a 10/10. It deserves any award it can get. Why?
First of all, the animation is stunning. I love the way the emotions look with their little sparkles surrounding them. Second, the themes the movie shows. Inside Out wasn't afraid to take a more serious approach, and I applaud the people who were involved with this film. They knew they would have a younger audience watching, but included themes that would not only benefit them, but adults as well. Third, the characters were very enjoyable. I was disappointed that we didn't get to see much action from Anger, Disgust, and Fear, but at the same time, I don't see what else they could've offered to the plot. I was fine with traveling with Joy and Sadness throughout the movie, because their contrasting personalities kept me interested. Bing Bong is a perfect symbol for not just imaginary friends, but childhood in general. He represents how bright and innocent children are, but at the same time, also represents the painful fact that our childhoods don't last forever. Forth, and finally, this film did what many don't. Inside Out didn't have a villain. None. That just makes this movie more original, not just plot-wise, but as whole.
I am just so baffled over the sudden wave of negative reviews on this movie recently. Either one person hates this movie with a passion and has created multiple accounts to make multiple reviews, or lots of people are seriously ignorant towards what Disney was trying to do with this film. They obviously can't see past what's on screen, and that's a shame. If only more people these days can see the bigger picture.
