Movie Review: Disney-Pixar's Inside Out plus #Giveaway

I was provided with a complimentary digital download of this movie in order to facilitate my review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Now available on Blu-ray 3D™, Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD!

Every Friday night in our home is family movie night where we watch something new together. It's a really nice tradition of pizza for dinner followed by whatever new family friendly movie we can find and some freshly popped organic popcorn. This past Friday we finally got the chance to watch Disney-Pixar's Inside Out for the first time. We have been wanting to watch this one since it released in theaters in June, so the boys were absolutely thrilled.And with a great cast of voices, as usual for Disney-Pixar, I was excited too!


Disney-Pixar's Inside Out is about 11 year old Riley and the emotions that are inside her head controlling her actions and reactions. It was defintely an interesting and fun take on human emotions that we got a kick out of. The most important test is the kid test and all four of my boys loved it. So much so that they watched it again on Saturday. And Sunday. And I'm sure they would watch it again today if they weren't in school. Their favorite character? Anger of course, because he generally screams and yells and is just plain funny. We also loved Bing Bong, Riley's imaginary friend, played by Richard Kind. He always does a fantastic job with his characters and has a great voice.

I too enjoyed the movie, though I do think it was different then the usual Disney-Pixar flick. Not in a bad way, mind you, it was just... different. I got a kick out of the way the feelings interacted with each other and how that played out for Riley in real time. Overall it was a great family movie and one I know they will continue to watch down the road.
