A great film, about someone facing real problems presented for all to understand

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2015)

One of the finest animated films ever made. It is a drama for 8 or 9 years and older. An exceptional drama.
Furthermore, Inside Out goes into a totally new place for animation. That place in our minds, and how we struggle for inner peace, is displayed in a very special way in this film. I do not think this has ever been done in such a way in a film presented in a form that all can easily understand. While the animation is creative and incredible, this film is not about the animation. The animation is just the way problem is presented.
Like the stage of a play presenting a problem. It is a real life issue about a difficult change in a life that many of us have been through.
I have watched hundreds of animated films, both short and long. This film is different because it deals with real change in real situations. And this is a real person we can identify with, and presentation is unique in its own way. It is not about a princess, or toys, or birds or a time long long ago. It is about an eleven year old who moves from one part of the country to another, and her fears of that move and the resulting normal emotional issues that occur after the move is made. To some, this can be difficult to watch and that is understandable. Some films are difficult to watch.
It is about now, in a drama that is complex as well as difficult. In her head as well as ours. It is a wonderful film about a wonderful person searching for a life in a new place outside her comfort zone. It is the kind of search that many of us go through, and one we all hope to win. Please consider that this search has never been presented in such a special way before. It is a great film about this search. Also, watch this movie and discover a fundamental truth: While the struggle isn't easy, and it is very hard, it is worth the battle.
