Review of Inside Out (2015) by Sarah T — 24 May 2018

Do we really have little people that talk to us in our head? Do we have little people that control our thoughts and emotions? According to Inside Out, we do. Let? take Riley, an 11-year old hockey fanatic who? world is all perfect until she begins to finally experience her emotions take over.

This occurs after her and her parents move from Minnesota to San Fransico. We then are able to enter the mind of Riley and here we see that her core emotions are Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear.

By pulling switches, twisting knobs and pushing buttons, they are able to control Riley´s feelings- every single day. With their help, core memories are able to be formulate and stored in a safe place- long term memory storage.

These memories are a critical aspect to Riley? development and identity, resulting in the formation of various islands ranging from goofball island to hockey island. For the most part, Riley is happy, as stated before until she departs from home.

Joy is the backbone of her happiness and continues to try her best to keep sadness from core memories- or memories in general, however that all fails one day when sadness spreads her sorrow onto different happy memories.

Ultimately, this results in joy and sadness being sucked into long-term memory, away from headquarters, where they must take a long journey to try to find their way back. Overall, this movie is a heartfelt, emotional and kid-friendly movie.

It is easy to pull some heart strings and even capable of jerking some tears from even the toughest cookie. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone, as it is suitable for both children and adults.
