Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: Inside Out 2 (2024)

Another gentle soul adrift in a strange new city, taken in with warmth
The difference: Slighter than its sequel — charm over emotional excavation

A comfort-zone life forced into change, played for warm laughs
The difference: Broad Italian farce with none of Pixar's emotional precision

Cartoon logic colliding with the real world, big heart under the gags
The difference: A joke-forward legal romp — whimsy without the lump in your throat

The same two preoccupations: family relationships, and family
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Warm where it counts, cozy underneath
The difference: Trades the stillness of Inside Out for an angle of its own

Epic and contemplative in the same breath
The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft

The same preoccupation in both: family

The same mix in both: wit, then play

Both lean on warmth more than on family

A high-concept world built rule by rule around a big-hearted lesson
The difference: Buddy-cop mystery bounce over emotional excavation

Cozy animation in both cases
The difference: Leans harder into science fiction than Inside Out does

A frantic family comedy about a parent scrambling to do right by a kid
The difference: Loud 90s slapstick — the sentiment is a bow stuck on at the end
