itsheresomewhere Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 If anyone is looking for a movie to see - We saw the early show tonight for it. It was hysterical. My kids loved it and so did I. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butter Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 We're going to see it Saturday. My daughter convinced my youngest son that he wants to see it for his birthday tomorrow since that's the day it comes out. Then she realized she'd be a 3 day church thing and so not home at any point on his birthday so she convinced him that he wants to see it on Saturday evening since she'll be home then. So he's super happy because he gets to go to Chuck E. Cheese's on his actual birthday and then to a trampoline park and to see Inside Out the next day. Two days of birthday celebrations is pretty awesome for a 7 year old. We are all looking forward to seeing it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonesinIndiana Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 We saw it today. We liked it and it has a good message. I have to laugh though because we just moved and all the 'emotions' are very fresh. 😊 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 We just saw it. I'll admit, I got a little teary at the end, and very,very few movies do that to me. It was great! And stay for the first few minutes of the credits! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 We saw it yesterday for Ds' birthday surprise. We enjoyed it very much. Pixar quality again. I will say that it does have some very intense moments and is definitely a PG movie, not a G one in that respect. Ds, who is newly 8 and 70 lbs easy, was sitting on my lap at several points. ;) Yes, stay for the credits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlmiraGulch Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 One of my friends took his three kids to see it and he left the movie feeling a bit depressed! He said the main message was something like: Life is good, but then stuff happens and it's going to suck and you're just going to have to learn to live with it. That's just the way it is in this world. Sounds like a barrel of laughs! hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekland Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hmm, still debating this one. Pixar can be hit or miss for us. We love some of theirs and are "Ho Hum" about others. Loved: Monsters, Inc (probably my favorite) + Monsters U Bug's Life Wall E Incredibles Up Ho Hum (not "bad," but nothing I need to watch again): Cars Finding Nemo Toy Story Ratatouille Which category matches Inside Out better?

Sara in AZ Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I took the message more to be "Sad things happen, and that's okay. You don't have to be happy 100% of the time, or 100% happy about every situation to have a good life." And to expand on this...the message I got was that sadness has a valid place at the table. If we never experience negative emotions we can't fully appreciate the joy and the good times. I enjoyed the movie overall, although it did get a little tedious at times. I loved when we caught a glimpse inside Mom's and Dad's heads, and that cat. I really cracked up a few times during the show. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we never experience negative emotions we can't fully appreciate the joy and the good times. Yes, and I think that sadness goes hand in hand with joy. Sadness means you care about something or someone. Losing my mom last year has brought a sadness I've never known before, but it comes out of my love for her and the joy she brought in my life. I feel that looking back now on memories, they have a touch of sadness that won't ever go away, but it's okay that it's there. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6packofun Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 For those who have seen it, how does it portray anger? We saw a commercial with the emotion characters in it and a girl was trying to make a goal while playing hockey. *Anger* took over to give her the "oomph" or motivation or whatever to get the goal and I thought how odd it was to make anger look like a good thing in that situation. Like, who is she mad at? Is anger seen as strong and brave or how is it characterized? Seems a little weird to me, although I can see anger over injustice or something being a very good motivator! I know, I may be overthinking a children/family movie. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She throws down her hockey stick and storms off the ice and refuses to complete the tryout even though she has always loved playing hockey before. Anger taking over with no other emotion to temper it is portrayed as a *bad* thing. Lava, the short before it is odd, too.

The end message of both films is positive - can't say more (spoilers!). If you thought UP was "a barrel of laughs" then you won't like this one, either. I think they are both excellent films.

When the anger emotion takes over, she throws down her stick and storms off the ice. She doesn't score a goal. It's a very cute movie. Anger isn't demonized, but he's definitely not the hero.

When I told him it was just the short he was relieved. My kids, my dh and I all saw it this weekend. We enjoyed it. I would put it into the category with Up. I thought it was well done, cute, funny, and sad all at the same time. Hard to pull off. I will say that I cried a lot. In fact, I don't believe I've ever cried so much during a movie. I had hot tears streaming down my face a few times. Normally I just tear up and can keep it in, but not this time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I wasn't crazy about it; it is probably my least favorite Pixar film. I thought there could've been a lot more opportunities for humor with those great characters, but so much of it was just Joy and Sadness on their journey, and I agree with a couple of PP regarding the tediousness. FTR, I loved UP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottakee Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 We saw it today and it was cute but not one I would buy like Toy Story. I can see using some of the emotion stuff to talk about with our foster son.....it is ok to have various emotions, memories can be happy and sad etc. The kids enjoyed it but again, not one I would pay to see a second time or buy on DVD.
