Reasons Inside Out is the bomb
Multiple female characters with different personalities
Women/girl characters on screen outnumber male ones 2/3 at any given time
Basically a traditional Pixar “Buddy Comedy” but with women
The main girl is not stereotypically feminine (she’s into hockey and dresses gender-neutrally) but never downs or knocks femininity in being so (she also likes princess ponies and boybands)
Explains how depression works in like two minutes (you can’t force happy on the person but instead let them express how they feel)
Depthy psychological research went into it (and it’s all pretty accurate)
Character battles their own feelings and emotions rather than fighting some huge fantastical monster/villain
A male character is pink and is marketed on gender neutral products
90% of Inside Out products are gender neutral, even the rings and scented chap-sticks
The talking dolls are aimed at both boys and girls and include both female and male characters
Has a 98% on RottenTomatoes and a 93% on MetaCritic
It’s the biggest original film (not sequel) opening of all time
Proves children and families can enjoy heavier content
Proves people can enjoy a primarily female-driven film
It’s funny but will also make you cry
