In the vast catalogue of Pixar genius, it is ironic that a film about the brain might register with the lowest IQ.

And I think it is because it was relatable.

A little girl and her struggle with expressing her emotions is truly compelling but, well, human. You might say it is the characters inside her head which take center stage but I answer with the fact that they were still human emotions. Think, for a second, of what we are invariably comparing this film to: a cute little fish, some bugs, bedroom toys, a rat chef, robots, a superhero family and some monsters.

I did, however, enjoy the undeniable Pixar trait of adult humor amidst a children’s movie like the playful jab at the San Francisco foodie scene.

Yet, if it weren’t for Sadness, this film would be blue. I cannot foresee too many kids making space between their Sully and Nemo toys for Bing Bong. Therefore, Inside Out stirs up mixed emotions and a pedestrian 2.4 napkins out of 5.
