Movies that feel likeInside Out (2015)

When 11-year-old Riley moves to a new city, her Emotions team up to help her through the transition. Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness work together, but when Joy and Sadness get lost, they must journey through unfamiliar places to get back home.

If you loved Inside Out, the closest films we have are Paddington (2014), Where Am I Going? (2016) and Coyote vs. Acme (2026). All three share Inside Out's warm and cozy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is An American Tail (1986).
