Naturally, ranking the 50 best movies to watch on Disney+ will drum up quite a few Pixar favorites.

The heavy hitters will all be accounted for: Toy Story, Cars, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles. But there’s inevitably the one-off stragglers like WALL-E, Up, Ratatouille and Brave that seem to always get left out of the conversation. We should all be watching those titles on Disney+, too, but there’s one recent Pixar hit that deserves more love, and that movie is Inside Out.

Inside Out mostly takes place inside the mind of 11-year-old Midwestern girl Riley, who’s own world gets turned upside down when her family moves to San Francisco. Suddenly, her love for hockey wanes and she starts to detach from the things that make her whole. Inside her mind, her emotions attempt to lead her through the difficult transition, and the team is led by the fearless Joy (Amy Poehler). Unfortunately, the stress of the cross-country moves gives Sadness (Phyllis Smith) a bigger role, threatening the whole operation of Riley’s emotions.

Upon release, Inside Out earned rave reviews from critics, holding a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film showed its strength at the box office with an over $857 million worldwide gross and followed up its commercial success with a pair of Academy Award nominations, ultimately walking away with the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Disney currently doesn’t have any plans for a sequel, which is probably for the best since we couldn’t handle another film to shake us up in the same way. Inside Out is a definite must-watch for all ages, and it’s on Disney+ right now.
