An Amazing Movie

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2015)

I have never written a review but after reading some of the negative reviews of this movie I had to speak up. Inside Out manages to entertain and educate from young to old on multiple levels. The five basic human emotions, well known to practicing therapists or anyone studying psychology, become living characters. They take part in a story that the viewer can easily relate to and enjoy. As expected from Pixar the animation is fantastic and the background score fits perfectly.
This movie should be a first week requirement for Psych 101 in any college yet, my 4 year old granddaughter loves it, watches it repeatedly and understands the basic concepts. I recently sat her on my lap and asked her what were the 5 basic human emotions. She quickly listed the emotions and reminded me, "Papa, you can't have joy without sadness." When you can entertain and educate a 4 year old and a 67 year old, make them laugh and cry together, and make them want to watch again and again you've really done something special. Thank you Pixar. And, to all those negative reviewers remember, "You can't have joy without sadness."
