Submitted photoDisney Pixar’s “Inside Out” takes us inside the mind of Riley, who is guided by her emotions — Anger (voiced by Lewis Black), Disgust (voiced by Mindy Kaling), Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler), Fear (voiced by Bill Hader) and Sadness (voiced by Phyllis Smith).

“Inside Out”

Rating: PG for mild thematic elements and some action.

What it’s about: Her inner emotions try to generate happiness in the life of an 11-year-old girl.

The kid-attractor factor: Pixar.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Crying helps you “slow down and obsess over life’s problems.” And without sadness, there is no happiness.

Violence: Childhood memories fade away.

Language: One “curse word” is promised, never delivered.

Sex: Puberty is joked about.

Drugs: None.

Parents’ advisory: Deeper and more cerebral and emotional than normal Pixar pictures, more suitable for 8-and-up.

“Dope”

Rating: R for language, drug content, sexuality/nudity and some violence — all involving teens

What it’s about: A smart, nerdy working class African-American kid struggles to break the stereotype of how kids from his background turn out.

The kid-attractor factor: Teenagers behaving badly, swearing, foiling thugs and befriending drug dealers.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “You always have a choice. Take responsibility for the choices you make.”

Violence: Shootings, beatings, blood.

Language: Hard-edged profanity.

Sex: Nudity, crude come-ons, sexual situations.

Drugs: Pills, powder and alcohol, consumed by teens.

Parents’ advisory: Hot ticket in the teen community or not, this one is entirely too rough and tempting to imitate for younger kids — take the R-rating (17-and-up) seriously.
