Pixar, you really pushed my emotions

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2015)

I've always loved Pixar movies and I consider "Up" to be my favorite movie of ALL TIME. I had high hopes for "Inside Out", as I always do for Pixar films, and I don't know if it met them. "Inside Out" is a movie which I believe everyone can relate to in some sense or another. But it's not what I expect from a Pixar movie. I expect Pixar movies to have that deep moral and theme but also to be light on you and full with great jokes, but the moral and them of "Inside Out" felt too deep and the jokes were meager and not the jokes I expected. I tend to laugh at every little joke and I didn't laugh too much. Granted, there were times I did laugh way too hard but those were well deserved. However, the rest of the movie was very serious and did keep me on the edge of my seat. I've seen plenty of dramas about growing up that weren't this deep or depressing that were obviously made for an older crowd. If you want a light-hearted, fun Pixar adventure, this is not the one to see; I'd suggest "The Good Dinosaur" coming this fall. I honestly felt like this Pixar film was going after the wrong demographic because young kids would not understand the movie. I would recommend this movie for kids 12 and up because most likely your kid will not understand. Now this movie was excellently made and was a joy to watch; pun intended. However, you will need to be ready to cry because that is just what this film will do to you. I didn't walk out of the theater filling happy but more depressed and had a heavy feeling that it had made upon my thoughts. I honestly still feel like I didn't fully captivate the whole depth it had emotionally wise and I am planning on seeing another screening of it. That being said, it's not a complex story but I need to fully form my opinions about it. If your emotions to be pushed to their maximum, see this movie. This is a really well made movie that looks incredible with a well developed story. It deserves the Pixar badge it has attached to its name and won't let you down.
