Summary: Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear and Anger are all emotions who control the mind of a young girl named Riley who moves to San Francisco which leaves her emotions a bit all over the place.
My Thoughts: This movie was fun, unique and just a grand time and I highly recommend it...if you're over the age of 12. As the main character is ten, I feel as if ten year olds who typically go see Disney movies may not grasp the purpose of the movie entirely which would destroy their chances of liking the movie. Disney is suppose to cater towards the younger generation, but lately they've been gravitating towards the older kids and leaving the younger ones behind in the dust. This is one of those instances. This movie isn't like Tangled or the Incredibles, this movie is way more complex than that and it's just the thing that kids won't understand that.
I, on the other hand, loved this movie. It made me feel so much and that's what a Disney film is for, but I haven't been so invested in a movie from Disney since Tangled. But this movie was more realistic, it hit home more because we all have these emotions and it showed how a person feels and what makes them, them. It goes from being this overly happy work, to terribly sad, but then it showed you that sadness is natural, it's okay to be sad and that underlying theme was a sweet one. Again, just not for kids. This movie is receiving a lot of backlash for this depressing undertone because it's meant for kids, but it's life. That's how life is.
Anyways, go see this. I highly recommend it, just for Christ's sake: DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN.
