5. I saw it last week, and loved it.

It is, of course, intended as an animated film for children, but the subject matter is quite adult. The main character, Riley, is a pre-teen who's family is moving from Minnesota to San Francisco. We see the story from the inside of Riley's mind, with various characters portraying her emotions and memories and other parts of her brain.

With the difficulties of a new move, new school, loss of friends and her beloved hockey team, Riley gets upset (shown by some of the emotions getting lost within the labyrinth of her mind). By the end of the film, it got really dusty in the theater and my eyes got quite moist dealing with all of that dust.

Go. I think you'll enjoy, even without kids in tow!

7. Saw it Saturday

Worth seeing. There's goofy action to keep the youngsters who don't quite "get it" occupied, but it doesn't get in the way of a rather touching, clever and compassionate treatment of human emotions. It's nice to see a film whose message includes valuing "negative" emotions as well as happiness.

8. I haven't either, but I find it troubling that a movie about a girl is focused on emotions.

Pixar has only made two movies in which the primary character is a girl. And one focuses on her emotions, which seems a bit stereotypical to me. On the plus side, it's not a princess movie, so there is that. And, of course, there are very few movies made with a girl as the main character.

I don't think a movie about a boy's emotions would ever get made, although I think it might be more game-changing, because one of the many challenges facing our society is the way boys and men are socialized to deal (or rather, not deal) with their emotions in a way that is not damaging. Even though of course boys have all the same emotions, they are largely taught not to express them in a healthy way.

But maybe they're waiting for the sequel.

9. I saw it. The lead character could very easily have been a male.

The 'emotional' side of the film dealt with the emotions that live in a person's head. At different points in the movie, you see the emotions of other people and get their inner reactions - including boys.

In fact, at the end, while the credits are running, they even move into the heads of dogs and cats to see their emotions.

In all, I think it was a very imaginative way to show children what emotions are and why people are sometimes happy and sometimes sad - all people, not just girls.

11. I will echo your statement

12. I saw it last night....I think it is a great movie. Here is why...

An eleven year old. Riley, is moved from one part of the country to another with her mom and dad. She faces fears before and after the move which is traumatic for her. But the film presents this trauma in a way everyone can understand and in ways that are visually dramatic and creative. While the animation, color and animated presentation are terrific, this film is not about the animation. It is about the drama within the person and how she deals with difficult change. (something we have to do) ..That drama is very special.

Pete Doctor who was the director and writer of this film is not new to animation. He directed and wrote "UP" which is also an outstanding film. He was part of the writing crew of the first..."Toy Story" film which made PIXAR into what it is today. The script is extremely important and it is special. We feel for Riley as she goes through her ordeal because the language is real and easy to understand by all. Surely an 11 year old could understand. this as well as anyone. The visuals enhance the story, but do not abuse it or take away from it. I strongly recommend it. It is a family movie, and all will (in my opinion) like it.
