Inside Out - I was hoping to like this considering all of the positive reactions from a lot of people about the Film and it's mature content.

For me personally it just came across like a more stiff version of Up (which is a great Film imo) and Joy and Sadness came across as really unlikable to me personally, and the kid in the Film gets written very mechanically in my view, how can I feel sorry for a character that's only feeling her emotions based on what Joy, Sadness or any of the others want her to feel in that moment? I know that it's the concept of the Film (or a large component at least) but I just couldn't take to that element of Inside Out in execution.

Where as with Films like Up, or A Silent Voice (I know that it's not a kids Movie) but they're both like Inside Out where they want you to really invest in the characters and have sad moments in their Films, and imo they did a much better job of it than Inside Out did because I actually liked most of the characters in those Films and they also could be humorous, especially Up.

Also that's Inside Out and Toy Story 4 now that didn't have any real villains in their Films, when will Pixar actually realise that having a villain is nearly as important to Fiction as having heroes?

Overall 1.5/10 - I can count on my one hand how many things that I liked about Inside Out. I'll give The Incredibles 2 a shot from Pixar next, if that is as flat as either Toy Story 4 or Inside Out then Pixar just isn't for me anymore which I suppose was always gonna happen eventually with me not being in their target demographic anymore.
