Inside Out follows the emotions living inside an 11-year-old's head as her family moves from the Midwest to San Francisco, and it lands with parents as much as kids. Watching it outdoors in a neighborhood playground, with no ticket and your own snacks, makes it an easy Saturday plan. If your kids have seen the sequel, this is a sweet chance to revisit the original together.
What to expect
The playground fills with blankets, strollers and folding chairs ahead of dusk while the crew sets up the screen. The film starts once it is dark, and families picnic through it with snacks from home. Chairs are reserved up front for seniors and people with disabilities.
