If you haven't watched this animated movie, then you are missing out big time. But knowing that you are here reading this, it's probably safe to say that you also loved this movie as much as we do.

"Inside Out" remains to be one of the best movies that Disney has ever made in the previous decade, and it even won the 2016 Golden Globe Award for "Best Animated Film." People of all ages devoured the movie and it became an instant classic favorite because the themes introduced in the movie just hits close to home for most of us.

The movie revolves around Riley, an 11-year-old kid, and the five emotions living inside her: energetic and optimistic Joy who was voiced by Amy Poehler, shaky Fear that ensures Riley is always safe and who was voiced by Bill Hader, raging Anger that wants everything to be fair and who was voiced by Lewis Black, picky Disgust who helps Riley avoid being poisoned by weird food and who was voiced by Mindy Kaling, and last, Sadness who's all over the place, voiced by Phyllis Smith. The setting is centered in San Francisco, where Riley's family relocated, and the emotions help her through the difficult and unfamiliar transition.
