Check out the trailer and a review below it.



In order to see the value of our lives we need the emotion of Joy, truly a gift from God.  When depression sets in this can be so hard to see.  If you or a loved one feels that depression is the last word, we highly recommend this film that gives hope that even in the worst of darkness there is hope to be restored to wholeness again. This will be the first film released for our mental health theme, and although it is not officially a faith based film it really shows that life is a gift from God that so often needs to be reclaimed when challenges that may lead to depression set in.

For 11-year-old Riley in the new Disney Pixar film Inside Out sudden new challenges of her families move make the most important things in her life like family, friends, personal interests and hobbies began a downward spiral of memory loss as she begins to get depressed.  Suddenly everything that brought her joy seems to elicit negative emotions instead.  These challenges culminate in bringing her to consider a more drastic choice in her life before she is able to reclaim the beauty and the value of the gift of her life and family. 

For all of us when we see that life is a gift, no matter how challenging or what transitions, losses or tragedies we may experience this film can help us to get a picture that joy can be restored to us, and that there is hope for those in depression through this wonderful and inspiring film.  Indeed, even cherished memories lost can be redeemed and restored as this movie will vividly depict through Disney Pixar’s powerful animation.
