There have only been a handful of movies that I have been as equally excited as my kids to see in theaters. As soon as I saw a preview for Disney’s Inside Out I knew it would be a family movie we would all go see over the summer. I loved the idea of watching what happens to all those little voices and ideas in our minds. So as soon as we could my husband and I took the kids to see Inside Out this summer, and it did not disappoint! My husband and I both loved it as much as our kids did. I laughed, I cried, and I was in love with all of the characters.
Disney’s Inside Out is now on Digital HD, Blu-ray Combo Pack, and Disney Movies Anywhere. It is honestly one of my favorite movies I have seen this year. It is such a sweet, funny, and captivating story. My family has loved watching it together, and my kids have watched it a few more times on top of that. We all really love Inside Out.
Do you ever look at someone and wonder what’s going on inside their head? Disney-Pixar’s “Inside Out” takes an exciting and hilarious journey into the mind to find the answer. Based in Headquarters, the control center of 11-year-old Riley’s mind, five emotions are hard at work, led by lighthearted optimist Joy. She strives to make sure Riley stays happy as she operates alongside fellow emotions Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. It’s “an instant classic,” raves Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times. Experience it like never before on Disney Blu-ray!
My kids both love all the funny emotion characters. Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger are all such dynamic characters, and we all laugh out loud at some of the things they say. As a mom I love watching Riley and how all her feelings work together. In the move Riley and her parents move to San Francisco, California. This summer my family had just moved to Texas. The move was definitely an adjustment for my oldest son who left behind a great school and friends. My heart melted as I watched Riley and her emotions process what had just happened and how to make a new life in a new place.

There are also other really great characters throughout the movie. Like Riley’s old imaginary friend Bing Bong! My kids also loved watching how Riley’s dreams are made and all the fun characters in her imagination.

My family’s most favorite Inside Out bonus feature is the Short Film “Riley’s First Date.” We were all laughing so hard watching Riley’s mom and dad process the idea of Riley possibly being on a date. My kids are nowhere near dating age yet but I could relate to how Riley’s parents must have been feeling. It is such a sweet and hilarious 4 minute movie and one of our favorite parts of the whole combo pack.

I also really liked watching the deleted scenes and hearing about how the movie was created in the bonus feature “Story of a Story.” A story about emotions is such an interesting and fascinating story to tell. I loved learning about how the producers, writers, and director decided on what characters to make the main story about. Here is a little clip of “Story of a Story”:
