The reason sadness kept touching the core memories is because that's what Riley was feeling and Joy was literally forcing Riley to be happy when she wasn't. Sadness even said she herself didn't know why she was touching them. it's because that's the strongest emotion Riley was feeling but Sadness was masked behind Joy. When I first saw this I really wanted to square up with Joy😭😭😭
@@nyuszicsib exactly. I try to hold back my emotions sometimes and be positive but I've learned you HAVE to allow yourself to feel that anger or sadness in order to heal and it not weigh on you. You just can't allow those emotions to control your life because no matter what, things ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS get better
I have to say, I always hold back my sadness and pretend it doesn’t exist, but I also don’t try to act happy either. I know it’s really unhealthy though.
Not so fun fact: Bing Bong’s voice break when he asks Joy to take Riley to the moon was real. His voice actor was in tears as he delivered his final line
This is a great movie that describes how depression works. Everything just shuts down and you lose all interests. Anger, fear and disgust become the only things you feel but its ok to ask for help and express your sadness.
Even then anger , fear and disgust wasn't the things she was feeling, when the controls went grey that's because she lost all emotions in that moment , I love this movie so much
i like how joy is the lead emotion for riley but if you notice her moms lead emotion is sadness and her dads is anger. just shows how everyone can have a certain emotion at the forefront but all the emotions still matter and have to "work together" for a person to be functional.
And the heightened similarity between the different emotion characters in the mom and dad suggest that the differences between them become less extreme, and the dominance of the one is not quite as significant because they interrelate more strongly.
Someone on another video's comment section theorized that mom's sadness wasn't sadness, but empathy. I can't remember what dad was, but anger wasn't really anger, but determination or assertiveness or something. Like, the main umbrella emotion was sadness/anger, but the real emotional motivation was really one of the more subtle subsets. And that really made sense to me.
Riley was suppressing her inner Sadness for her family as to not burden them with her emotions. Joy is being the way she is because Riley wanted to appear happy while inside her Sadness wanted to let out.
I had an ex girlfriend who was one of those ‘everyone should be happy all the time’ people. I tried to tell her that without sadness or anger or fear, you would never know when you are happy. There is nothing to compare too. All emotions are healthy when working together. Her response was ‘no, there’s happy and happier!’ I sometimes wonder what she thought if she ever watched this movie.
I love how this movie seems like just a fun creative romp, and then Bing Bong's story comes in like a DAGGER TO THE HEART. Also, I think the "big message" is that sadness is just as important and helpful as every other emotion - and sometimes it's what NEEDS to be felt, even if we don't want to. Sadness kept touching and changing all the memories because Riley *needed* to let herself feel sad and mourn all the things she lost when she moved to a new city. It was the movie's way to showing us that inner battle when someone keeps forcing themselves to act "happy" even when the situation doesn't call for it. Plus, it showed at the end the expressing sadness is how we let others know that we're in pain, and allows them to understand us and help us. And sadness is what lets us feel bad for other people in return.
The best part is, if you go digging around the making of stuff, you learn that wasn't going to be the original thrust of the movie, but Pete Docter was not having success putting the film together until he started thinking about the role sadness plays in connecting with people and working through trauma, and when *he* made that discovery, it kind of worked its way into the movie where *Joy* (and later Riley) don't become whole again until they learn how to process sadness and integrate it into their experience.
@@HunterEQGtribute Depression and sadness aren't the same thing. You've probably watched sad movies or tv shows before and cried, and if you connected to the story you felt better afterwards, or understood. And I'm sure there's plenty of angsty media or songs that you willingly consume because you like them even when they make you feel sad. Depression is what makes you not enjoy anything, even when you are sad. It can feel like anger, disgust, fear, etc [like Riley felt when she had to move away] or it can feel empty and hopeless, but the important thing is that it goes away [and comes back as well, if you are clinically depressed]. The important part is to ask for help, and take care of yourself. Therapy and medication are not for everyone, they weren't for me, but it's worth trying to figure it out at least once if you feel the need. What worked for me was a support system, friends and family, and coping mechanisms that included healthy hobbies. Taking care of yourself is a difficult journey, it can seem daunting at first, but when it finally starts paying off you'll look back and be so proud of the person you are becoming, and all that it took to get there.
I love how Sadness was COMPELLED to touch the memories and this whole thing started because joy tried to get rid of the sad core memory. An embarrassing core memory, but one nonetheless. I like how when anger gets angry, he punches fear out of the way. When we're mad we often say things we don't mean because we don't often think of the consequences of it in the moment. In a way fear is knocked out of our minds.
Also plays into the fact that you can't feel anger and fear at the same time. If you feel afraid and anger takes over at any time it FULLY punches out the fearful response. Flight turns into fight regardless of how scared you were.
Sadness was supposed to take control. It’s healthy to feel sad about moving away. If she didn’t feel sad and always forced her self to be happy, that becomes toxic positivity. And ultimately that would’ve resulted in her being numb and not being able to decipher her feelings. Memories become sad doesn’t mean they’re bad. You look back at them with fondness and maybe a bit of sadness because they’re just memories now Her happy memories became nostalgic and bitter sweet because she wouldn’t be able to live through that again. She’s in a new place and scared. And as an 11 year old having her life uprooted, she can’t have everything together. Also did you notice how sadness was the head of the console in Mom? It could present either depression or Compassion and loving And in Dad’s, it was anger. It could either be anger management issues or discipline. I love how this movie deciphers feelings. It’s not just happy, sad, anger or fear. They’re all interlinked and it’s never black and white. Gray areas exist as well. Thank you for reacting to this movie ✨
@@Lannisen don’t think that’s how it works? It’s the emotions the people associate with the most. Joy was for Riley for the longest time because she had a very uncomplicated and normal life with a positive attitude. But when trouble came the healthy thing is to feel sad. Sadness probably wouldn’t have gotten to that extent of heading the console for Riley of joy had just let sadness take control from the very start when they were moving. So for now Riley doesn’t have a head of the console. She’s just figuring out how emotions work As adults though like for the mom and dad, we already have an emotion we think with if that makes sense? If it’s compassion, it’s most likely sadness. If it’s caution, fear. Discipline and strength is anger. And positivity could be joy. Just my own personal theory
I can understand it too, though my biggest move I made was in my early 20s. I felt almost entirely lost for a while. Now it's been 18 years and I've gone back to where I used to live a couple times and it just feels so weird.
Sadness was touching everything because something was wrong. she really couldn't help it. Sadness needs to be expressed. Trying to stay happy when you aren't will only hurt more in the end. This is probably my favorite Pixar film. They did such a fantastic job with this and you'd be surprised at how accurate things are from a psychology standpoint. :)
33:53 it's not that sadness overpowers other emotions generally, but in this specific case where she's trying to come to grips with a big loss, memories that were happy become sad (bittersweet) because now they're associated with that loss. What I like in particular about this metaphor is that her formed memories at the end of the movie are colored with different layers of emotions: it can be both happy and sad, or both afraid and disgusted.
Without sadness there would be no joy and with joy comes sadness. Everything ends and changes. You love and lose. Emotions are crazy and this movie is great. Sadness is my favorite 💙
Joy and Sadness are her oldest emotion. Joy's domineering attitude kept her from developing emotionally. Sadness was needed as much as Joy. I loved the gum jingle that kept popping up at random times and bingbong's song.
The main message of the movie is that it is ok to be sad , living with major depression I definitely can relate to this movie , thank you for reacting to this movie ♥️
This movie had me sobbing. As a child I always said I was born depressed. And in 8th grade I tried to kill myself. Depression is real and usually no one knows how bad it is BECAUSE of putting on that "Joy mask". I had to break down and hit rock bottom so I could find the pieces to build myself back up even stronger. I love this movie
Yo! Imagine me watching this on a flight and trying hard not to ugly cry! The man next to me, poor thing, was so concerned when I started crying when, well we all know! Eventually he watched the movie as well 😅
Riley is on the verge of puberty, her emotions are going to be everywhere. As for sadness....well....we all go through it. The rest aren't core memories, so much as just memories.
This movie gave me the kick in the pants I needed to process through things and get back on my feet. I left a career due to health problems and recovery was slow. While sitting on The couch moping I came across this and it changed my perspective on my condition and how I should be approaching it.
Sadness is an important emotional response, it lets people know we need help, and comfort. It gives us a moment to think and reflect, and one can find joy in the sad moments
I know I feel sad when I think of my childhood & not in a bad way... for the most part. That nostalgia gets to you. Joy was a control freak. All the emotions matter. They're all meant to be felt.
This movie hit me so hard, I was sobbing like a fool during 85% percent of it, but so were my husband and my daughter so it's okay. We moved across the country a while ago, our daughter was 6 at the time but she still had solid friendships that she lost as well as no longer having her grandparents one town over. We are 1000 miles away from everyone we knew. Some memories we don't even bring up all that often because they make us sad. Some old pictures just bring tears. But it's two years later, and we just got home after her school's field day, where she did every event with her two best friends who call her their sister. We live at the end of a dead end street where all the neighborhood kids run around and have Nerf wars and water balloon fights on the regular, whereas our old area was...kinda unsafe. And next week, her grandparents are coming out to visit and to celebrate our younger daughter's first birthday. Lives are always changing and reshaping but we are still us and we always will be.
This has been my favorite movie! I feel like it is a movie that A LOT of people can relate to, whether it is people who moved during their childhood or anyone who has suffered from depression. It does such a great job at showing how quickly depression can come up and you are left unable to feel any emotions. Was super happy to see you react to this one! Thank you!!!!
Nostalgy is a kind od sadness. So when Riley misses home all those happy memories shall become blue because when you think about something you miss you feel sadness or nostalgy. That is why sadness had that impulse to touch them all.
The main message? It's healthy and normal to have contradictory feelings about memories. I remember playing with my parents' dog, it makes me happy bc he loved play. I also feel sad bc he's dead now. Joy and sadness mixed some memories to be bittersweet. That's life.
I love that the movie doesn't pull punches - the parents literally don't see their daughter is miserable because they refuse to admit their choice might be terrifying for a kid. They keep pushing her to be happy about leaving behind everything she's ever experienced - they're adults, they've moved, they've felt, they've grieved, but they've forgotten how harsh it can be when you haven't done all that. Riley doesn't have the frame of reference to move on - which is portrayed in the Emotions being panicky and confused and messing things up. But above all, I think it's good that it shows that no, sometimes people miss that loved ones are hurting because they don't want to see it. It took my parents twenty years to realize my brother suffers chronic depression, which explains all their quarrels and arguments. But in hindsight, all the signs have been there all along.
34:15 I like how you didn't know why you felt sad but Sadness didn't know why she felt that way either. Sometimes sadness can be manifestations of your true feeling
It's so excellent the emotional complexity this film puts on display, especially at the end where memories are combination swirls. I think Inside Out is also one of the best films to show toxic positivity. As much as the world loves a person like Joy, optimism can also be taken to delusional lengths.
I lose my shit at the end when Riley finally lets it all out. I'm so glad you liked this movie! Sometimes you just need to cry and that's so good that they showed it.
Sadness isn't the only emotion that can retrospectively change a memory - imagine being betrayed by someone you thought was a friend, anger could change a memory you thought was happy when you realize the interacction wasn't genuine. Or you had a crush but find out they are a horrible person, you might look a memories of that person differently... Lots of possibilities. Even previously negative memories could become touched by happiness!
I seriously WISH PIXAR could could do two or THREE MORE OF THESE! Riley's obviously the kind of girl you wish you knew back when you were her age. ...to see more movies of these with her navigating most the TEEN YEARS would be really interesting! 🧐👍💨🛫
Well Disney just announced that a sequel to Inside Out is in production that will have Riley has a teenager. I have a feeling it will be amazing but am also worried it will receive big unnecessary backlash like Turning Red did just because *gasp* Pixar showed the accuracy of teenage girls growing up and I have no doubt they'll show that accuracy in the sequel as well
The scene where they're all hugging each other and Riley gives that shaky sigh hits me everytime because it's something I have experience with when I opened up to my family about my mental health. This whole movie is truly a piece of art.
It's simple, man, Sadness has such power over memories because memories tend to get nostalgic. We remember how good we were with a little sadness, so the ability of Sadness is logical and understandable
The message I got is that being strong for your family doesn't mean putting on a fake smile and crushing what you're really feeling as deep down as possible. That can and does lead to some pretty bad depression. What can start as being repressed sadness can pile up until we no longer know why we're just dead inside... Our consoles are inconsolable and go dark. Riley was very much in danger of this had she not had such loving and caring parents. She had the strength to get off the bus. Riley would have kept going had she not felt the freedom to cry on their shoulders when she got home. Thank you for reacting to this movie. This one is one of the most relatable movies I've ever seen.
Much Love! To all the people in the comments for sharing their personal stories and wisdom! So much to unpack in this thought provoking, very intelligent film! I'm glad kids have a chance to learn a truth that took me most of my life to learn.
Not only does Joy feel sad towards the end of act 2, but she goes through the other three (four if you count her basic emotion, happiness): Anger when she scolds Sadness, though she doesn't glare at her. Fear several times, including when she sees Jangles. And finally, Disgust, when she first sees The Imaginary Boyfriend.
Answering the question about moving as a kid: When I was 12 I had to move from Cleveland OH to Virginia and left my sister and best friend I was devastated. After I grew up a little I realized it was probably for the best in the long run. ❤️
The main message of this movie is two parts 1- Moving and big life choices can cause memories that used to fill us with joy to feel sad. 2- emotions intensify as children grown up.
i really interpreted sadness' overpowering the memories as just a natural thing. once an emotion has been held back from the controls enough, it starts to spread involuntarily
Me: well I’m the hospital in the ICU physically in pain and mentally exhausted what should I do now: Also me: sure let’s watch a reaction to Inside Out.
Joy and Anger are the only decision makers. The other emotions act more as judges. When Fear, Sadness or Disgust take the elm, it's usually to prevent something rather that doing something. Unless it comes to extremes (e.g. Fight or Flight response, Crying/Depression/Suicide or Vomiting/Frigidity). So it makes a lot of sense that Anger is in control when Joy is not around. Only Anger can make things change, for the better or worse.
I moved to the US when I was 8yrs old. I didn't know English besides the basic greeting words. I moved to 6 schools in 2yrs. I would cry the 1st day of class and I was so shy!! My first best friend was this black girl who just waved at me across the cafeteria table (I was so scared cuz she was with a group of other girls). I didn't speak English and she would just use her body language to play with me at recess. I wish I remembered her name. I sometimes think of that little girl and wish more kids were like her. She was a key factor in my young life. Without her, I would have sat alone in the cafeteria with no friends. I know this is long sorry.
This movie hit me out of nowhere too, 3rd act really sticks the landing. Not some big epic stakes of saving a kingdom or becoming a Disney princess, just the emotional well being of a young girl. Also, really good illustration why suppressing memories and emotions can be damaging. Feel your feels.
If Disney had any creative input in this film at all,Riley probably would be princess of the Kingdom of San Francisco belting out showtunes from the top of the Golden Gate Bridge.
This movie hit me really hard when I first saw it and to be honest it still does…. Due to abuse I was emotionally stunted and I think this movie does a good job of showing how important it is to let it out sometimes, I can’t tell you how good it felt to cry after years of feeling nothing. I honestly feel like movies like this are extremely important and I applaud Pixar for this masterpiece.
28:54 I can relate because my parents were in the military. The only time i was upset about moving was when my dad got a job in the US(we were stationed in Germany and I was born there, it’s basically where I spent most of my childhood up until the end of 6th grade) the other times we’ve moved it surprisingly didn’t phase me, even when I had to evacuate a country, I just went with it. My family is moving again bc my parents have better job opportunities. I was kinda sad at first but now I’m excited for it. But my siblings were upset about the move. My siblings are the about the same age I was when I had to move as a kid. I just hope they can adjust and try to make the best of it.
You can’t experience true joy without experiencing sadness. Notice how Joy’s hair is blue to represent sadness? They go hand in hand. Riley becoming more emotional mature obviously happens with her growing up, which is how she comes to realizes memories aren’t just one thing/emotion. There’s room for more. It’s the same way her parents and adults emotions are all seated as you pointed out and they’re switchboard is much more expanded. It’s a really cool and subtle way and I think they do it perfectly.
The way you kept wanting to square up with sadness was hilarious but ofc you realized in the end just how important that emotion was for Riley it was a beautiful scene
This movie hit hard because it best showed how I felt when I first got discharged from the marine corps. I had my depression somewhat under control prior to it but the moment I got home it all came crashing down and was WAY worse. I wanted the blackness to swallow me up. But family really did help bring the light back in
@@Izzyneedscoffee stay strong it's hard but life is always worth living. Take one day at a time. And what helps me is watching sunrises or just enjoying nature. Semper fi. And thank you for your service
33:53 you can’t have one opposite with the other. Riley was going through a big change and being sad and crying helps to get those emotions out. Being happy is important but if you need to cry, just do it and be understanding. It’s not worth it to feel only happy and suppress the other emotions and that’s the moral joy learned
Love the exploration of emotions and how they are all necessary for mental heath. Every little action the emotions have explains our own actions. anger and fear leading to bad decisions and at 33:07, when aimed at used properly anger is a powerful tool
inside out's emotional scenes are so effective I was sobbing just watching this reaction lmao it's ridiculous how much it gets to me. it's so fun to see how everyone starts the movie by being annoyed at sadness and siding with joy and ends up understanding how important the whole spectrum of emotions is bc it really shows that internalized idea we have that sadness = bad, happiness = good, that leads to toxic positivity. a very necessary movie id say, and it breaks down topics like depression in such easy to comprehend terms that'll surely help young ppl understand their own emotions better.
Sadness is touching the memories that should have been hers. The sadness of the moment lead to the joy like with her being sad so her parents and team came to cheer her up. That memory would never happen without her needed her family and friends to help her feel better.
Riley is still only 11. Puberty happens a little closer to the teen years for most girls. But mine started when I was ten, so she could be a normal girl, or even a late bloomer. Mine happened super-early, but a lot of factors are taken into account for that's part of life. Even something as simple as being overweight early on can jumpstart it. (For the record, I have been heavy practically my whole life.)
This movie is brilliant actually, demonstrating emotions and feelings perfectly. 1. Riley has a really good childhood and almost all her memory has been positive. Everyone seemed to consider sadness as redundant and didnt want her to ever touch the control. Thats probably why she craves to touch it so much. 2. Sadness made a sad core memory for the first time is crucial because Riley had moved to another state, which means all the good memories were in the past now and you should first feel sad that it may not be there anymore. 3. The emotion in most charge of the mother's mind is Sadness (sympathy, gentle) and the one in most charge of the father's is Anger (getting angry at the dinner table). That somewhat tells their main characteristics and their behaviors. 4. Anger is the one came up with the idea returning to Minnesota -> Not all decisions made when you are mad are good ones, because at that time you might not be calm enough to reason. 5. Riley made that decision out of anger and stole her mom's purse -> anger blocked her train of thoughts and that was why the train trails were broken 6. Joy was the one who found a way to get out of the dump after she had been crying because in negative situations, positiveness are usually the way out of darkness (of course after letting out all your negative emotions). If you are always burried in sadness about a situation, you cant think of any way to get out of it (like Sadness was just crying when joy fell to the dump) 7. Sadness are able to transform any memory to sad ones (and maybe no other emotions can) because you literally can feel sadness out of anything and anywhere (but the memory can be reversed so its still fine). Like sometimes even when you watch a fun movies, you may feel sad because you cannot share it with your friends now because you two are apart (just an example) 8. The mom and dad's emotions are all sittting in chairs because thay are settled, unlike Riley's, which are immature and dont know their places (because Riley still dont khow what to do with her feelings)
This movie had me in tears when I saw it in theaters. I could also relate to San Francisco ruining pizza since I grew up in Chicago and now live in the SF Bay Area and there are SO many weird toppings I've seen on pizza out here, like broccoli and artichoke. I often quote the line "Congratulations, you ruined pizza" whenever I see weird topping combos at pizza places out here.
I WEEP watching this movie. Full on waterworks. I ran away from home as a kid because I didn’t know how to express my sadness about things going on in my life, and my parents really came through on helping me grow and learn about healthy emotional expression. (Even though life still had major lows waiting for me down the road that I could not handle, but such is life.) Absolutely love this movie.
You ever been depressed before… tryna sing yourself out of a pit and its not enough… i cry everytime i see the bing bong rocket scene cuz i been there a few times. Just gotta keep trying till you can let go of how you imagined happiness to be and find something else
A lot of people pointed out the parts about sadness and joy. What really stood out for me, especially being a parent of a daughter around this age, is all of the conflicting emotions children have. Not even just conflicting but confusing. They don't know how to handle complex emotional states and this depicts that idea perfectly. Kids really need to feel and express every emotion in order to learn how to grow into themselves. It really is one of the best animated movies ever

There is nothing to compare too. All emotions are healthy when working together. Her response was ‘no, there’s happy and happier!’
I sometimes wonder what she thought if she ever watched this movie.
Oi I can never understand how people can just view the world like that. Such low emotional intelligence
@@spiritualelement757 fr like if someone died do they not cry??
maybe her sadness got thrown out the HQ
Maybe that was her coping mechanism
toxic positivity is draining
I love how this movie seems like just a fun creative romp, and then Bing Bong's story comes in like a DAGGER TO THE HEART.
Also, I think the "big message" is that sadness is just as important and helpful as every other emotion - and sometimes it's what NEEDS to be felt, even if we don't want to. Sadness kept touching and changing all the memories because Riley *needed* to let herself feel sad and mourn all the things she lost when she moved to a new city. It was the movie's way to showing us that inner battle when someone keeps forcing themselves to act "happy" even when the situation doesn't call for it.
Plus, it showed at the end the expressing sadness is how we let others know that we're in pain, and allows them to understand us and help us. And sadness is what lets us feel bad for other people in return.
The best part is, if you go digging around the making of stuff, you learn that wasn't going to be the original thrust of the movie, but Pete Docter was not having success putting the film together until he started thinking about the role sadness plays in connecting with people and working through trauma, and when *he* made that discovery, it kind of worked its way into the movie where *Joy* (and later Riley) don't become whole again until they learn how to process sadness and integrate it into their experience.
It didn’t help me and I continue to suffer.
@@HunterEQGtribute Depression and sadness aren't the same thing. You've probably watched sad movies or tv shows before and cried, and if you connected to the story you felt better afterwards, or understood. And I'm sure there's plenty of angsty media or songs that you willingly consume because you like them even when they make you feel sad.
Depression is what makes you not enjoy anything, even when you are sad. It can feel like anger, disgust, fear, etc [like Riley felt when she had to move away] or it can feel empty and hopeless, but the important thing is that it goes away [and comes back as well, if you are clinically depressed]. The important part is to ask for help, and take care of yourself. Therapy and medication are not for everyone, they weren't for me, but it's worth trying to figure it out at least once if you feel the need. What worked for me was a support system, friends and family, and coping mechanisms that included healthy hobbies.
Taking care of yourself is a difficult journey, it can seem daunting at first, but when it finally starts paying off you'll look back and be so proud of the person you are becoming, and all that it took to get there.
@@LoreCatan but they are similar.
@@HunterEQGtribute They can be, but they are vastly different.
I love how Sadness was COMPELLED to touch the memories and this whole thing started because joy tried to get rid of the sad core memory. An embarrassing core memory, but one nonetheless.
I like how when anger gets angry, he punches fear out of the way. When we're mad we often say things we don't mean because we don't often think of the consequences of it in the moment. In a way fear is knocked out of our minds.
Also plays into the fact that you can't feel anger and fear at the same time. If you feel afraid and anger takes over at any time it FULLY punches out the fearful response. Flight turns into fight regardless of how scared you were.
Sadness was supposed to take control. It’s healthy to feel sad about moving away. If she didn’t feel sad and always forced her self to be happy, that becomes toxic positivity. And ultimately that would’ve resulted in her being numb and not being able to decipher her feelings.
Memories become sad doesn’t mean they’re bad. You look back at them with fondness and maybe a bit of sadness because they’re just memories now
Her happy memories became nostalgic and bitter sweet because she wouldn’t be able to live through that again. She’s in a new place and scared. And as an 11 year old having her life uprooted, she can’t have everything together.
Also did you notice how sadness was the head of the console in Mom? It could present either depression or Compassion and loving
And in Dad’s, it was anger. It could either be anger management issues or discipline.
I love how this movie deciphers feelings. It’s not just happy, sad, anger or fear. They’re all interlinked and it’s never black and white. Gray areas exist as well. Thank you for reacting to this movie ✨
I wondered too if sadness for mom and anger for dad were their first emotions as babies?
@@Lannisen don’t think that’s how it works? It’s the emotions the people associate with the most. Joy was for Riley for the longest time because she had a very uncomplicated and normal life with a positive attitude. But when trouble came the healthy thing is to feel sad. Sadness probably wouldn’t have gotten to that extent of heading the console for Riley of joy had just let sadness take control from the very start when they were moving.
So for now Riley doesn’t have a head of the console. She’s just figuring out how emotions work
As adults though like for the mom and dad, we already have an emotion we think with if that makes sense? If it’s compassion, it’s most likely sadness. If it’s caution, fear. Discipline and strength is anger. And positivity could be joy.
Just my own personal theory
I can definitely relate to the moving thing, having to start all over again. The editing on this is god tier by the way!
I can understand it too, though my biggest move I made was in my early 20s. I felt almost entirely lost for a while. Now it's been 18 years and I've gone back to where I used to live a couple times and it just feels so weird.
Love your work dude
Sadness was touching everything because something was wrong. she really couldn't help it. Sadness needs to be expressed. Trying to stay happy when you aren't will only hurt more in the end.
This is probably my favorite Pixar film. They did such a fantastic job with this and you'd be surprised at how accurate things are from a psychology standpoint. :)
This movie never fails to get me emotional.
“Take her to the moon for me, okay.”My heart is in pieces on the floor.
Man fr to me "take her to the moon for me" is one of the most chilling lines in cinema, this movie takes me places
It's totally up there with "Always" and "You bow to no one" when it comes to pulling your heartstrings.
@@ichmeiner4531 totally agree
33:53 it's not that sadness overpowers other emotions generally, but in this specific case where she's trying to come to grips with a big loss, memories that were happy become sad (bittersweet) because now they're associated with that loss.
What I like in particular about this metaphor is that her formed memories at the end of the movie are colored with different layers of emotions: it can be both happy and sad, or both afraid and disgusted.
Since you recently watched WV, a little note about those memories turning sad:
“What is grief, if not love persevering?” V
Without sadness there would be no joy and with joy comes sadness. Everything ends and changes. You love and lose. Emotions are crazy and this movie is great. Sadness is my favorite 💙
Anger is my favorite ❤️
Joy and Sadness are her oldest emotion. Joy's domineering attitude kept her from developing emotionally. Sadness was needed as much as Joy. I loved the gum jingle that kept popping up at random times and bingbong's song.
The main message of the movie is that it is ok to be sad , living with major depression I definitely can relate to this movie , thank you for reacting to this movie ♥️
This movie had me sobbing. As a child I always said I was born depressed. And in 8th grade I tried to kill myself. Depression is real and usually no one knows how bad it is BECAUSE of putting on that "Joy mask". I had to break down and hit rock bottom so I could find the pieces to build myself back up even stronger. I love this movie
I’m so sorry you went through that
❤❤
Loved your reaction Mel!! So excited for you to get into more animated movies!
Yes, Anger's idea was a spectacularly bad one. Because *_Anger makes bad decisions._*
I really like that Sadness is just the "immature" form of empathy and sympathy.
Yo! Imagine me watching this on a flight and trying hard not to ugly cry! The man next to me, poor thing, was so concerned when I started crying when, well we all know! Eventually he watched the movie as well 😅
Riley is on the verge of puberty, her emotions are going to be everywhere. As for sadness....well....we all go through it. The rest aren't core memories, so much as just memories.
This movie gave me the kick in the pants I needed to process through things and get back on my feet. I left a career due to health problems and recovery was slow. While sitting on The couch moping I came across this and it changed my perspective on my condition and how I should be approaching it.
Sadness is an important emotional response, it lets people know we need help, and comfort. It gives us a moment to think and reflect, and one can find joy in the sad moments
I know I feel sad when I think of my childhood & not in a bad way... for the most part. That nostalgia gets to you. Joy was a control freak. All the emotions matter. They're all meant to be felt.
This movie hit me so hard, I was sobbing like a fool during 85% percent of it, but so were my husband and my daughter so it's okay. We moved across the country a while ago, our daughter was 6 at the time but she still had solid friendships that she lost as well as no longer having her grandparents one town over. We are 1000 miles away from everyone we knew. Some memories we don't even bring up all that often because they make us sad. Some old pictures just bring tears. But it's two years later, and we just got home after her school's field day, where she did every event with her two best friends who call her their sister. We live at the end of a dead end street where all the neighborhood kids run around and have Nerf wars and water balloon fights on the regular, whereas our old area was...kinda unsafe. And next week, her grandparents are coming out to visit and to celebrate our younger daughter's first birthday. Lives are always changing and reshaping but we are still us and we always will be.
This has been my favorite movie! I feel like it is a movie that A LOT of people can relate to, whether it is people who moved during their childhood or anyone who has suffered from depression. It does such a great job at showing how quickly depression can come up and you are left unable to feel any emotions. Was super happy to see you react to this one! Thank you!!!!
Nostalgy is a kind od sadness. So when Riley misses home all those happy memories shall become blue because when you think about something you miss you feel sadness or nostalgy. That is why sadness had that impulse to touch them all.
The main message? It's healthy and normal to have contradictory feelings about memories. I remember playing with my parents' dog, it makes me happy bc he loved play. I also feel sad bc he's dead now. Joy and sadness mixed some memories to be bittersweet. That's life.
I love that the movie doesn't pull punches - the parents literally don't see their daughter is miserable because they refuse to admit their choice might be terrifying for a kid. They keep pushing her to be happy about leaving behind everything she's ever experienced - they're adults, they've moved, they've felt, they've grieved, but they've forgotten how harsh it can be when you haven't done all that. Riley doesn't have the frame of reference to move on - which is portrayed in the Emotions being panicky and confused and messing things up.
But above all, I think it's good that it shows that no, sometimes people miss that loved ones are hurting because they don't want to see it. It took my parents twenty years to realize my brother suffers chronic depression, which explains all their quarrels and arguments. But in hindsight, all the signs have been there all along.
34:15 I like how you didn't know why you felt sad but Sadness didn't know why she felt that way either. Sometimes sadness can be manifestations of your true feeling
It's so excellent the emotional complexity this film puts on display, especially at the end where memories are combination swirls. I think Inside Out is also one of the best films to show toxic positivity. As much as the world loves a person like Joy, optimism can also be taken to delusional lengths.
I love how towards the end at 34.57 you see the memory orbs are multi-colored. Every core memory is tinged with a range of emotion...
re 29:33 - Joy goes through all five emotions in the movie. She expresses joy (duh), but also anger, fear, disgust, and then sadness.
The main message is that sadness is just as necessary as Joy. Sometimes to feel happy you have to feel sad
I lose my shit at the end when Riley finally lets it all out. I'm so glad you liked this movie! Sometimes you just need to cry and that's so good that they showed it.
Sadness isn't the only emotion that can retrospectively change a memory - imagine being betrayed by someone you thought was a friend, anger could change a memory you thought was happy when you realize the interacction wasn't genuine. Or you had a crush but find out they are a horrible person, you might look a memories of that person differently... Lots of possibilities. Even previously negative memories could become touched by happiness!
I seriously WISH PIXAR could could do two or THREE MORE OF THESE! Riley's obviously the kind of girl you wish you knew back when you were her age.
...to see more movies of these with her navigating most the TEEN YEARS would be really interesting! 🧐👍💨🛫
Well Disney just announced that a sequel to Inside Out is in production that will have Riley has a teenager. I have a feeling it will be amazing but am also worried it will receive big unnecessary backlash like Turning Red did just because *gasp* Pixar showed the accuracy of teenage girls growing up and I have no doubt they'll show that accuracy in the sequel as well
The scene where they're all hugging each other and Riley gives that shaky sigh hits me everytime because it's something I have experience with when I opened up to my family about my mental health. This whole movie is truly a piece of art.
It's simple, man, Sadness has such power over memories because memories tend to get nostalgic. We remember how good we were with a little sadness, so the ability of Sadness is logical and understandable
The message I got is that being strong for your family doesn't mean putting on a fake smile and crushing what you're really feeling as deep down as possible. That can and does lead to some pretty bad depression. What can start as being repressed sadness can pile up until we no longer know why we're just dead inside... Our consoles are inconsolable and go dark. Riley was very much in danger of this had she not had such loving and caring parents. She had the strength to get off the bus. Riley would have kept going had she not felt the freedom to cry on their shoulders when she got home. Thank you for reacting to this movie. This one is one of the most relatable movies I've ever seen.
Much Love! To all the people in the comments for sharing their personal stories and wisdom!
So much to unpack in this thought provoking, very intelligent film! I'm glad kids have a chance to learn a truth that took me most of my life to learn.
Not only does Joy feel sad towards the end of act 2, but she goes through the other three (four if you count her basic emotion, happiness): Anger when she scolds Sadness, though she doesn't glare at her. Fear several times, including when she sees Jangles. And finally, Disgust, when she first sees The Imaginary Boyfriend.
I’m loving the little clips you put in this one 🤣🤣🤣🤣 they all fit perfect
Answering the question about moving as a kid: When I was 12 I had to move from Cleveland OH to Virginia and left my sister and best friend I was devastated. After I grew up a little I realized it was probably for the best in the long run. ❤️
The main message of this movie is two parts
1- Moving and big life choices can cause memories that used to fill us with joy to feel sad.
2- emotions intensify as children grown up.
i really interpreted sadness' overpowering the memories as just a natural thing. once an emotion has been held back from the controls enough, it starts to spread involuntarily
Me: well I’m the hospital in the ICU physically in pain and mentally exhausted what should I do now:
Also me: sure let’s watch a reaction to Inside Out.
Be safe and get well soon
I am ordering a Hawaiian pizza just to spite all if you.
Square up on that pineapple on pizza comment, Mel 🤣 🥊
🤼🏾♂️
Joy and Anger are the only decision makers. The other emotions act more as judges. When Fear, Sadness or Disgust take the elm, it's usually to prevent something rather that doing something. Unless it comes to extremes (e.g. Fight or Flight response, Crying/Depression/Suicide or Vomiting/Frigidity).
So it makes a lot of sense that Anger is in control when Joy is not around. Only Anger can make things change, for the better or worse.
I moved to the US when I was 8yrs old. I didn't know English besides the basic greeting words. I moved to 6 schools in 2yrs. I would cry the 1st day of class and I was so shy!! My first best friend was this black girl who just waved at me across the cafeteria table (I was so scared cuz she was with a group of other girls). I didn't speak English and she would just use her body language to play with me at recess. I wish I remembered her name. I sometimes think of that little girl and wish more kids were like her. She was a key factor in my young life. Without her, I would have sat alone in the cafeteria with no friends. I know this is long sorry.
This movie hit me out of nowhere too, 3rd act really sticks the landing. Not some big epic stakes of saving a kingdom or becoming a Disney princess, just the emotional well being of a young girl. Also, really good illustration why suppressing memories and emotions can be damaging. Feel your feels.
If Disney had any creative input in this film at all,Riley probably would be princess of the Kingdom of San Francisco belting out showtunes from the top of the Golden Gate Bridge.
"Take her to the moon for me, okay?" OMFG Rips my heart out every time. The Ron Swanson edit was perfect lmao
This movie hit me really hard when I first saw it and to be honest it still does…. Due to abuse I was emotionally stunted and I think this movie does a good job of showing how important it is to let it out sometimes, I can’t tell you how good it felt to cry after years of feeling nothing. I honestly feel like movies like this are extremely important and I applaud Pixar for this masterpiece.
28:54 I can relate because my parents were in the military. The only time i was upset about moving was when my dad got a job in the US(we were stationed in Germany and I was born there, it’s basically where I spent most of my childhood up until the end of 6th grade) the other times we’ve moved it surprisingly didn’t phase me, even when I had to evacuate a country, I just went with it. My family is moving again bc my parents have better job opportunities. I was kinda sad at first but now I’m excited for it. But my siblings were upset about the move. My siblings are the about the same age I was when I had to move as a kid. I just hope they can adjust and try to make the best of it.
You can’t experience true joy without experiencing sadness. Notice how Joy’s hair is blue to represent sadness? They go hand in hand. Riley becoming more emotional mature obviously happens with her growing up, which is how she comes to realizes memories aren’t just one thing/emotion. There’s room for more. It’s the same way her parents and adults emotions are all seated as you pointed out and they’re switchboard is much more expanded. It’s a really cool and subtle way and I think they do it perfectly.
The way you kept wanting to square up with sadness was hilarious but ofc you realized in the end just how important that emotion was for Riley it was a beautiful scene
Dreams are actually like that, they jump from one plotline to another, lmao. At least mine do.
This movie describes depression
This movie hit hard because it best showed how I felt when I first got discharged from the marine corps. I had my depression somewhat under control prior to it but the moment I got home it all came crashing down and was WAY worse. I wanted the blackness to swallow me up. But family really did help bring the light back in
I got out of the Navy last year and have been struggling too. Family is the only thing that makes me smile
@@Izzyneedscoffee stay strong it's hard but life is always worth living. Take one day at a time. And what helps me is watching sunrises or just enjoying nature. Semper fi. And thank you for your service
Ahem...
PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA IS DELICIOUS!
That is all. 😋🤪
Bro 8:38 had me dead 🤣
33:53 you can’t have one opposite with the other. Riley was going through a big change and being sad and crying helps to get those emotions out. Being happy is important but if you need to cry, just do it and be understanding. It’s not worth it to feel only happy and suppress the other emotions and that’s the moral joy learned
Love the exploration of emotions and how they are all necessary for mental heath. Every little action the emotions have explains our own actions. anger and fear leading to bad decisions and at 33:07, when aimed at used properly anger is a powerful tool
I come from a family of mental health workers and therapists and we love this movie, it is an amazingly executed production.
Great vid, man! The editing with you being in Riley’s head with them is so funny
inside out's emotional scenes are so effective I was sobbing just watching this reaction lmao it's ridiculous how much it gets to me. it's so fun to see how everyone starts the movie by being annoyed at sadness and siding with joy and ends up understanding how important the whole spectrum of emotions is bc it really shows that internalized idea we have that sadness = bad, happiness = good, that leads to toxic positivity. a very necessary movie id say, and it breaks down topics like depression in such easy to comprehend terms that'll surely help young ppl understand their own emotions better.
Disney really out here trying to heal our generational trauma and help regulate emotions. 😭😭😭
This is a beautiful movie, and a wonderful simplification of how the brain processes emotions and how they (literally) color our memories
I just realized that Joy is repressing Sadness and that's making her "come out" at bad/inconvenient times!
Anytime I see a reactor doing a Pixar movie is an immediate thumbs up for me.
You think Inside Out is good (which is, very good), you need to watch/react to Soul 😍😭
Your reaction to the movie is almost exactly how I reacted the first time I watched it😂
I also didn't like sadness, she just felt like a drag😂😂
Only Pixar would ask the question "what if feelings had feelings?"
Got lots of memes in here. keeping it more interesting. lol
You can stop seeing by closing your eyes, you can stop hearing by blocking your ears, but you can't stop your heart from feeling emotions.
Sadness is touching the memories that should have been hers. The sadness of the moment lead to the joy like with her being sad so her parents and team came to cheer her up. That memory would never happen without her needed her family and friends to help her feel better.
Like this comment if your favorite Pizza is Hawaiian? (Pineapple on Pizza?)
A sequel, Inside Out 2, will be released on June 14, 2024.
Riley is still only 11. Puberty happens a little closer to the teen years for most girls. But mine started when I was ten, so she could be a normal girl, or even a late bloomer. Mine happened super-early, but a lot of factors are taken into account for that's part of life. Even something as simple as being overweight early on can jumpstart it. (For the record, I have been heavy practically my whole life.)
This movie is brilliant actually, demonstrating emotions and feelings perfectly.
1. Riley has a really good childhood and almost all her memory has been positive. Everyone seemed to consider sadness as redundant and didnt want her to ever touch the control. Thats probably why she craves to touch it so much.
2. Sadness made a sad core memory for the first time is crucial because Riley had moved to another state, which means all the good memories were in the past now and you should first feel sad that it may not be there anymore.
3. The emotion in most charge of the mother's mind is Sadness (sympathy, gentle) and the one in most charge of the father's is Anger (getting angry at the dinner table). That somewhat tells their main characteristics and their behaviors.
4. Anger is the one came up with the idea returning to Minnesota -> Not all decisions made when you are mad are good ones, because at that time you might not be calm enough to reason.
5. Riley made that decision out of anger and stole her mom's purse -> anger blocked her train of thoughts and that was why the train trails were broken
6. Joy was the one who found a way to get out of the dump after she had been crying because in negative situations, positiveness are usually the way out of darkness (of course after letting out all your negative emotions). If you are always burried in sadness about a situation, you cant think of any way to get out of it (like Sadness was just crying when joy fell to the dump)
7. Sadness are able to transform any memory to sad ones (and maybe no other emotions can) because you literally can feel sadness out of anything and anywhere (but the memory can be reversed so its still fine). Like sometimes even when you watch a fun movies, you may feel sad because you cannot share it with your friends now because you two are apart (just an example)
8. The mom and dad's emotions are all sittting in chairs because thay are settled, unlike Riley's, which are immature and dont know their places (because Riley still dont khow what to do with her feelings)
Have you seen Coco yet? If not, its a must watch!! Might be one of they're best yet, and man get your Kleenex for that one! 😁
This movie had me in tears when I saw it in theaters. I could also relate to San Francisco ruining pizza since I grew up in Chicago and now live in the SF Bay Area and there are SO many weird toppings I've seen on pizza out here, like broccoli and artichoke. I often quote the line "Congratulations, you ruined pizza" whenever I see weird topping combos at pizza places out here.
Fun fact: Bing Bong’s voice actor was crying when he said his final line
My favorite part, of your reactions, is when you edit yourself in. I never see it coming 😂😂😂
I WEEP watching this movie. Full on waterworks. I ran away from home as a kid because I didn’t know how to express my sadness about things going on in my life, and my parents really came through on helping me grow and learn about healthy emotional expression. (Even though life still had major lows waiting for me down the road that I could not handle, but such is life.) Absolutely love this movie.
Therapists actually use this movie to help learn about their emotions now. It is a great tool.
First of your videos that's come across my reccomend. I'm loving your memes throughout haha they add a lot to the video
Now you definitely have to check out the short film 'Riley's First Date?' - and watch till the end of the credits
You ever been depressed before… tryna sing yourself out of a pit and its not enough… i cry everytime i see the bing bong rocket scene cuz i been there a few times. Just gotta keep trying till you can let go of how you imagined happiness to be and find something else
You don't like pineapple on pizza?! UNSUBCRIBED! :U j/k

@@HelloMellowXVI All good, different strokes, right? 😁
Thank you for sharing your videos, I have been enjoying them!
A lot of people pointed out the parts about sadness and joy. What really stood out for me, especially being a parent of a daughter around this age, is all of the conflicting emotions children have. Not even just conflicting but confusing. They don't know how to handle complex emotional states and this depicts that idea perfectly. Kids really need to feel and express every emotion in order to learn how to grow into themselves. It really is one of the best animated movies ever
Look, Mello my man; your movie reactions are some of my favorite ones ever, but we have to get one thing straight. Pineapple on pizza is delicious 😋. At least to me it is. You can have your own opinions, what the fact still remains. Don’t knock it till you try it..
Bing Bong has one of the best sacrifice scenes in any movie.
"how does it look crooked, it's a freaking sphere!" LMFAOOO
Can you watch Inside Out 2.
