Inside Out 1

When 11-year-old Riley moves from Minnesota to San Francisco, the five emotions inside her head — Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust — struggle to guide her through a difficult transition. Joy and Sadness get accidentally lost deep in Riley's mind, leaving the other emotions in charge of headquarters. As they journey back through long-term memory, imagination land, and the subconscious, they discover that sadness has a vital purpose too. The film blends adventure with a touching exploration of how emotions shape who we are. For English learners: This is an excellent A2-B1 level film thanks to clear pronunciation and slow-to-moderate speech pace. The vocabulary centers on emotions, family, and everyday situations, with simple sentence structures. Subtitles are highly recommended for first-time viewers.
