Anyone seen this yet? I watched it with my family last night and was honestly super impressed. Super emotional and honestly WAAAAAAY better than the most recent stuff they've been putting out.

Sadly it wont be out here until August 19, for reasons beyond my understanding, which means im sadly going to block this thread from my mind entirely as i want to take my kids with as close to as zero knowledge as possible.

That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange eons even death may die.
It was a solid flick. The humor was decent and the storyline was fairly gripping. I was trying to go in with no expectations but everybody and their sister was talking about how amazing it was.
I would give it a B. Way better than crap like Cars but not as good as Wall-E
Bing-Bong gave, or left behind, his hat when helping Joy escape the Memory Dump. A gesture as if to say, "Riley may forget, but you never will."
All in all, solid movie. Loved Lewis Black as Anger.

We're back in Good Pixar territory but not in Best Pixar territory. Barring a real dark horse surprise, Inside Out's only competition for Best Animated Picture is going to be Pixar's own The Good Dinosaur (yup, we're getting two this year). So please understand that when I say it doesn't hit quite as hard as Toy Story 3 or Wall-E, I'm not exactly panning it. Having a record so mind-blowingly amazing just makes it hard to talk about Pixar movies fairly. Any other studio, I'd be like, "This movie is a revelation!" With Pixar, it's "I was only brought to tears three times? Meh."
Where Inside Out really stands out, I think, is in its imaginative worldbuilding. Like in Monsters, Inc., they took a really offbeat premise and ran with it all the way to the endzone. And everybody was perfectly cast, especially Lewis Black. "Can I use that curse word we know? It's a good one!" I also think it was an inspired decision to set it inside an eleven-year-old. I went into the theater expecting Riley to be a little bit older, and for the plot to be about her transition into teenagerdom. But giving her a different, specific identity crisis and only hinting at the changes to come makes the movie both more personal and somehow grander. Plus, it gives Pixar an obvious sequel hook if they want it. And if the Toy Story trilogy taught us anything, it's that when Pixar foreshadows a huge life transition in one movie and promises to fulfill that in the next... look out.
PS: The short at the beginning was kind of bland, but I can't get that damn ukelele out of my head.

I couldn't convince my wife to go see it this past weekend.
Isn't the premise essentially that old ride from Epcot, from 'the Body'? You were literally in a teen boy's mind and it looked a lot like what I've see in the trailers (I mean, more cartoony).
As a kid who moved a lot growing up, including when I was 11, this movie was especially emotionally relevant for me. I thought it did a great job of characterizing just what is going on in our heads in a way that was both funny but also easy for kids to understand. I mean, I now know that it's the workers who keep sending up that jingle for Sugar Crisp!
All in all it was Pixar back in top form. Not quite at the level of The Incredibles or Toy Story 3, but it was far better than Brave (not to say Brave is a bad movie, but definitely one of Pixar's weaker films).
