Im Hauptquartier, dem Kontrollzentrum im Kopf der elfjährigen Riley, leisten fünf Emotionen Schwerstarbeit: Angeführt von der optimistischen FREUDE, die Riley immer nur glücklich sehen möchte, sorgt sich ANGST ständig um Rileys Sicherheit, während WUT auf der Suche nach Gerechtigkeit bisweilen die Hutschnur platzt. Und die aufmerksame EKEL schützt den Teenager davor, sich zu vergiften – körperlich oder mental. Nur die unglückliche KUMMER weiß nicht so Recht, was ihre Aufgabe ist – nun ja, die anderen offensichtlich aber auch nicht. Als Rileys Familie eines Tages vom Land in eine fremde große Stadt zieht, sind die Emotionen gefragt, Riley durch die bislang schwerste Zeit ihres Lebens zu helfen. Aber als FREUDE und KUMMER durch ein Missgeschick tief im Gedächtnis des Mädchens verschwinden, liegt es an den anderen drei Emotionen, das Chaos in den Griff zu bekommen. Dummerweise haben FREUDE und KUMMER versehentlich wichtige Kernerinnerungen von Riley mitgenommen und müssen diese nun unbedingt ins Hauptquartier zurückbringen, wenn sie nicht für immer verloren gehen sollen. Es beginnt eine aufregende Reise durch ihnen unbekannte Hirnregionen wie das Langzeitgedächtnis, das Fantasieland, das Abstrakte Denken und die Traum Studios, die von den beiden Emotionen alles abverlangt – auch, über den eigenen Gefühlsrand hinauszuwachsen...

Joy from sorrow. The joy of animation. The joy of discovering a new world. The gradual familiarisation with the rules of Riley’s inner universe (the film is most communicative in this respect even before the opening credits), which is entertaining in its appearance and everything that it references (psychoanalytical metaphors like dream factories, modern art, Disney movies from the 1950s), is gently incorporated into an adventure story about a budding friendship. The amusing falls, thrilling action scenes, jokes with the “maintainers” of the mind and the goofing around with Bing Bong – who is annoying in a Jar Jar Binks kind of way, but the filmmakers know that – all serve a purpose and help us get to know Riley in detail (notice the degree to which her identity is defined by playing very action-packed contact ice hockey, which is definitely not a traditional pastime of girls in American movies). We are thus entertained by the dynamics of the relationships between the characters, what happens and how the whole thing works. What happens “inside” has a direct influence on what happens “outside” and the relationship and plot lines are thus doubled, so there is always something on which to focus our attention and there is no risk that the film will get out of control. There is justification for the fact that neither of the parallel stories offers a traditional villain. The solution to the girl’s inner emotional crisis lies not in overcoming/eliminating obstacles, but in accepting them as part of her own personality (we recently saw an adult version of this in Wild). Few American films, let alone American animated films, have ever dared to cast doubt on the materialistically oriented ideology of individual happiness in this way or to assert that we should also value negative emotions (you never know when anger turned into a blowtorch might save a life). Unlike most feel-good genre films, the feeling of happiness here is not the goal or the solution, but only a means of finding inner peace, which does not derive solely from the individual’s own decisions. As Riley realises through the memory of losing a hockey match, followed by her parents comforting her and the encouragement offered by her friends, joy and sorrow work together best when we have someone to confide in. As we often retrospectively realise in real life, much later than Riley, happiness is other people (and hell is too, but that’s for another film). Thanks to this, the new Pixar movie speaks to all generations without for even a moment being preachy or blatantly lecturing us on the right way to live. Despite that, I can’t estimate how much children will enjoy a film that thematises (and very imaginatively visualises) nostalgia for childhood. For me, Inside Out is one of the most powerful film experiences of the year so far. Yes, I was moved. In this case, however, I don’t see that as having yielded to emotional manipulation, but as proof that the film worked flawlessly on every level and led me to exactly the emotional state that the filmmakers were aiming for. 85%

Unfortunately, I don’t share the surrounding enthusiasm. You can’t deny Inside Out’s brilliant core premise, which could be the basis of something truly exceptional and ambitious. The playfulness and creativity can’t be denied, either; the film is full of interesting visual ideas, gags, whatever (the switch to other heads). But everything around that, though effective, is just ordinary and predictable.

One of the few cartoons which make the adult audience wonder what an interesting premise the Pixar created for children, and the children will have fun watching the various characters and probably won’t give a shit about the story.

A priceless idea that is reprehensibly unimaginative. With a few exceptions that prove the rule (looking into other people's heads, filming dreams), this is a banally straightforward adventure in which Pixar "un-Pixarishly" often stoops to cheap character goofing off.
()
A thrilling and nerve-wracking chase driven by a million-dollar idea, which propelled it forward. That alone would have been enough for a dazzling experience, if it weren't for Riley and her emotions taking it even further. The day after seeing it, every last one of us wakes up and ends up wondering who's currently running your head. At that moment, everything falls into place, and the second layer starts to work, where each plot chapter has undeniable significance. In the end, Pixar is reaching for immortality, because there will always be so many vulnerable and hurt teenagers everywhere.

A divine fairy tale with tons of jokes, built on a great idea and great characters. The entire movie theater was laughing, the children were breathless, here and there a child whispered that he was scared, there was a conspicuous silence during the sad scene with the elephant, and finally everyone was breaking out in laughter again. I even felt as if someone had finally explained my behavior and that of all the people around me, and as I watched, my emotions clearly led to glowing joy. And maybe I was just getting manipulated inside my head, but I think this was one of the best cartoons I've ever seen. So everyone grab the kids and run to the movies to clear your head. And if you don't have kids, borrow some. And if they won't let you have them, go yourself, because this is worth it. 5 stars.

Pixar is back. An untraditional idea family pack that works like an incredibly emotional (but not in the figurative sense) rollercoaster ride. Pete Docter is in control again, changing everything he touches into gold. A story of Joy and Sadness lost somewhere inside a little girl going through one of the most difficult periods of her life is almost flawless. Parents hold their breath with their kids and they are subjected to Anger, Fear and Disgust. Another movie that says more about us than we realize. Not just entertaining, but educational. Movie of the year, along with Mad Max.

Was soll ich dazu sagen - es ist schön farbenfroh, die Animation ist auf hohem Niveau, die Story ist interessant und relativ simpel (manchmal leider vorhersehbar) und die Umgebung echt cool. Den Autoren ist es wirklich gelungen, die innere Welt eines jungen Mädchens darzustellen, individuelle Emotionen und im Allgemeinen einzelne Teile des menschlichen Geistes darzustellen, sodass man anerkennen muss, dass es den Autoren definitiv nicht an Fantasie mangelt. Unter den anderen positiven Aspekten können wir sicherlich den Humor erwähnen, auch wenn einige Witze, zum Beispiel wenn die Erinnerung an einen bestimmten Werbejingle immer wieder unerwartet auftaucht, nicht so lustig waren... Was wäre es sonst für ein Film über Emotionen ohne Emotionen? Ich muss sagen, dass es den Autoren hier gelungen ist, mich zu verzaubern, an anderen Stellen hat mich sogar die Traurigkeit ziemlich stark gereizt, und wie ich bereits in der Diskussion während der Szene mit dem rosa Elefanten/Katze/(Delphin) am Abgrund geschrieben habe, habe ich fast eine Träne vergossen und so muss ich sagen, dass ich den Film wirklich nicht nur gut überstanden, sondern auch gut erlebt habe. Wenn ich ihn mit den anderen Animationsfilmen vergleiche, die ich dieses Jahr gesehen habe, nach dem unglaublichen Song of the Sea, war dies wahrscheinlich der unterhaltsamste Film, den ich bisher hatte, also gebe ich ihm 8,5/10

An extremely imaginative treat for the soul from Pixar. Playful, funny, moving, for young and old alike, in short, an ideal combination of everything, supported by Giacchino's beautiful music and spiced up with unreal jokes like domestic arguments at dinner. A beauty. I'm still soft from all this. But pleasantly soft.

Inside Out is clear proof that the people at Pixar still have their heads in their place. The level of humour may not be what we are used to in some of their best films, but the sophistication and visual imaginativeness of the world inside our heads easily triumphs, creating an original animated experience where the joy and sadness of the gradual discovery of a unique world basically carry everything on their shoulders. Plus some really great jokes (the jingle from the commercial, the end credits...), which in turn bring back clear memories of Pixar's peak :) The best characters for me are the "sidekicks" Rage and Fear :)) 85%

Inside Out is definitely one of the most original animated films of recent times - there are very few films with such an idea and execution. I liked the portrayal and behaviour of the individual emotions, each of which had something to it. In fact, the entire content of (not only) Riley's head was thought out with the greatest amount of imagination, from long-term memory, to imagery, to forgetting. The film managed to evoke both "joy" and "sadness" in me during those ninety minutes, which just goes to show that there is no sadness in life without joy, and vice versa. After all, the remaining emotions (Fear, Anger and Disgust) are part and parcel of each of us and it is important to keep them in balance. The funniest scenes were the dream factory, the insight into other people's heads, and the recurring Triple Dent commercial, while the line with Bing Bong managed to really move and rode a rather sadder wave. All in all, this is a very well done piece of animation and storytelling that rightfully deserves both thumbs up, while managing to appeal to audiences of all ages.

Fünf Sterne gebe ich deshalb nicht, weil ich das Gefühl habe, dass sich viele sensible Kinderseelen nach diesem Film schrecklich fühlen müssen. Alles steht Kopf erschien mir die meiste Zeit über traurig und depressiv, auch wenn der Grundgedanke sehr schön und das Visuelle natürlich präzise waren. Etwas mehr Frohsinn, Freude und Quatsch und alles wäre makellos gewesen.

Pixar is doing what it does best again, which is messing up kids' carefree youth, but this time I really wonder what the tots will take away from it. For aside from the insufferable hyperactive Joy, they don't have many clues here, and instead are forced to process complicated rushes of emotion (a touching crying scene is destroyed by the character crying candy instead of tears) and life truths ("Yes, Reilly, the things you like to remember now will make you instantly sad one day because they'll never come back"). This is perfectly crowned by the Czech translation (Sadness translated as Depression), which turns the film's point into a lesson that to be happy you need to get some healthy depression now and then. Recommended by ten out of ten rope manufacturers. Yes, I find it appealing in its subversiveness; however, it seems to me that this was perhaps not entirely the intention. It's depressing and creepy all the way around the corner, but the realistic look at the inside of your head during an interaction with the opposite sex somehow puts faith in the fact that Pixar simply gets us.

A great animated film that I really enjoyed. On the other hand, I was terrified to find out what really goes on in my head. Judging by the visuals, I'd say the creators were aiming for a child audience, but I was happy to join in anyway and wasn't bored for a second. The control centers in the female and male brain were perfect, but I was completely blown away by the closing credits scenes, which made me give it a fifth star.

Definitely one of the most original and interesting animated films of the year, and maybe even of the entire history of world cinema. Maybe I was a little bothered that the story was somewhat predictable and didn't offer that much, but that didn't matter at all because there is an incredible amount of ideas here, it is beautifully thought out and conceived, and in the end, it is so emotional that it almost knocked me down. The scene with Bing Bong was simply wonderful. Definitely the best animated film of the year, and I didn't even think that Pixar would excel so much with something. But they are simply unique.

One of the best cartoons I've seen. A brilliant story executed in the best possible way. Despite some really funny moments (maintenance and "vacuuming" memories) the whole story is as consistent and serious as possible, resulting in an intense emotional experience from start to finish. I must also not forget that the filmmakers really made the most of the possibilities of their chosen subject and I can't imagine how it could have been conceived and filmed better. One of those films where I say to myself, "this has completely exhausted all the potential and is the top of its genre".
()
Yes, I enjoyed it. Yes, the idea was brilliant. Yes, it's a safe bet, so this year's Oscars have never been more obvious. Yes, Pixar is back. But NO, the story itself is not great. It is absolutely run-of-the-mill, wasting the potential of the whole movie.

Ich frage mich wirklich, wie jemand ein so perfekt funktionierendes Gehirn erfunden haben kann. Ich bin absolut begeistert von dem Film und nehme ein glückseliges Gefühl mit. Ein wirklich gut ausgearbeitetes Thema, witzige Szenen, die die ergreifenderen ausgleichen. Ich würde eine pubertierende Fortsetzung begrüßen. Die Handlung ist nicht kompliziert, aber sie funktioniert einfach großartig, und ich hatte Spaß.
