A bit Self-Indulgent on the part of Pixar Employees

Rating: 1/10 (21 March 2017)

Originality: 0/10. The whole "personality attributes as characters" thing has been done to death at least since ancient Greece. That being said, originality is not necessary for entertainment (eg: pretty much all Disney classic animated features, Shakespeare,...)
Appeal to kids: 0/10. None of the characters speak or behave "kid". They're adults. Making adult quips and using adult language about adult topics. Even the environment wasn't "kid".
Appeal to tweens: 2/10. Maybe tween girls would like Joy. Her look and sound were about as generic "princess" as you could find.
Appeal to teens: 3/10. Teen girls given to deeper subjects might find the movie inventive and cool. Kind of like "teen dystopia" was, a few years ago. Niche.
Appeal to adults: 5/10. Any parent of a tween/teen girl who has been through any drama (and all parents of tween/teen girls have or are going through drama). More for the notion of the teen girl drama than the movie itself. I couldn't see that it would appeal to teen boys at all. Although the single scene of "inside the boy's head" was hilariously "spot on" :)
Appeal to tech industry adults of tween/teens (especially girls) who have relocated to the Bay Area from suburban Midwest (or suburban South): 8/10. A small group. The Bay Area is full and largely unaffordable (and unaccommodating) to incoming families. Most especially to those not receiving a pair of high tech incomes. The house the movie family moved into in SF would easily be in the $1.5- 2M range and there'd be a line of people to buy it. I don't think you can sell your $300k house and roll into a $2M fixer-upper.
This is the one movie (of ~600, all from BD/DVDs we own, mind you) my wife said: "Don't bother to put this one on the server. Nothing about it was good."
Both of us, SF tech boom people. Through 3 booms. And both of us originally from Midwest, but have lived all over (every major "tech town").
I play with CGI but it wasn't even redeeming for that. Nothing struck me as "wow!" in the tech used to make the movie. Really... it felt like Pixar parents telling their own story, not very creatively and on a tighter budget. Oh well.
