Most people, myself included, can agree that Inside Out is good. It currently has a 98% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes with an 89% audience score, a 94 score on Metacritic with an 8.7 user score, and an 8.3 rating on IMDb. With all that said, how come on IMDb, the negative reviews for Inside Out are more popular than the positive reviews? I don't get it.

Just their opinion that this movie will make people feel depressed sounds like they didn't understand the movie. In my opinion this movie is the best visual portrayal of emotions and actually I'm not a big fan of sequels of disney animation movies, but for this one I would be really happy to see a part 2 concentrating on the puberty as main theme of the movie.
shareThis theory about just came to me and it may sound a little over-the-top, but please hear me out. I think that it's not really that they hate the movie or find it bad. They just say that it's bad for bulls**t reasons that they came up with just to troll everyone who loves it.
shareIt has to be about the worst pixar movie I've seen since ratatouille. Its the kind of 3rd rate crap pixar wannabes put out regularly.
sharePerhaps people have realized how overpraised and overrated Pixar's Golden films are and by that are voting up the negative reviews? Due to "Inside Out" belonging in that era? Who knows.
