You don't watch Inside Out for the science, though-or at least we hope you don't get your science from animated movies. Inside Out takes complex brain science and wraps it up in a user-friendly package that appeals to both kids and their parents. As anyone who sobbed through the first five minutes of Up will tell you, he's no stranger to combining a hearty laugh with a lump in the throat.

Inside Out is the third Pixar flick directed and co-written by Pete Docter, the guy who brought us Monsters, Inc.В and Up. While its storytelling is rich and moving, it probably didn't hurt that Inside Out's voice-acting cast is a comedy dream team that includes Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Mindy Kaling, Phyllis Smith, and Lewis Black.В That's comedy gold right there.

It would go on to earn $857,611,174 worldwide and scoop up the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. theatres on June 19, 2015, raking in $90,440,272 and opening at #2 behind a little arthouse film called Jurassic World. It's what studio heads, critics, and your pretentious cousin Connor (the first-year film student) call 'high concept,' yet it manages to remain completely accessible-to everyone. This isn't your average animated kiddie flick (obviously). There's no bad guy, just Riley's five personified emotions-Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear-teaming up to restore order to Riley's mental world as she deals with a difficult cross-country move and inches closer to her tumultuous teenage years. The film, produced by Disney-Pixar, takes a deep dive into Riley's noggin to examine the role that our emotions play in why we are the way we are. Inside Out is all about the voices in 11-year-old Riley Andersen's head. They remind you that ' Tearin' Up My Heart' is still (secretly) your favorite song ever, and that if you want to be on time for soccer practice, you really should get up right. They tell you to definitely eat that seventh slice of pizza. They tell you not to eat that third piece of birthday cake. Stars: Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Lewis Black
