Fun fact, animated movies get altered for different countries because of different societal norms. For example, in Japan, the broccoli scene was animated with green peppers instead, because children in Japan typically* enjoy broccoli, and the societal norm for toddlers there is to be fussy with green peppers. So it was altered to make sure the point of the scene still hit home for children, regardless of where it was released. 😊
@@fredericksaxton9782 In this Spanish-language version shown here, the dad is watching soccer/football on his mental TV. It's assumed that a lot of populations of the world would find this a more relatable sport to be watching. But in the American version, he was watching hockey, since they're a hockey family obviously.
@Sanjana Roy lol I'm with you on that one. I like all kinds of peppers except the green hahah, and broccoli is awesome 🤷♀️ haha especially with cheese sauce. Lol
I love how they display when you're frustrated or angry, anger punches fear out of your mind. When you're angry you usually do and say things that you don't at the moment consider the consequences for.
It really does, and I never actually realized that until I watched the video that Cinema Therapy did on this movie (I believe they referred to it as toxic positivity). When I first watched Inside Out, I got the message that all of our emotions are necessary and we shouldn't try to quash any of them, but the deeper meaning that Joy was wrong to want Riley to always be happy was lost on me at first. Maybe it's because Joy doesn't control my life, but I like the fact that this movie makes a point of showing that different people have different dominant emotions - the mom's dominant emotion was Sadness while the father's was Anger - but they were not CONTROLLED by that one emotion alone (like Joy was doing with Riley for most of the movie), it was more like a council of sorts where every emotion gave their own input before they all agreed on a decision. As for what Dillon was saying about how important the parent(s) behavior is to the development of a child (which is one of the themes/lessons in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (another excellent movie that I recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it ;) )), that spoke to me on a couple of different levels... It's true that no one is perfect, the perfect parent doesn't exist, but I am SUPER blessed to have a mom that I believe is as close to perfect as any human could possibly be. She has had a profound impact on my life: she tells me she loves me every day, both through word and deed; she is extremely selfless (sometimes to a fault - like I said, perfect doesn't exist - but she's working on that) and is always there for me when I need her, without stifling me; she shares her feelings with me, which encourages me to share my feelings with her; she will always give me a hug whenever I need one, and supports me in everything I do, always encouraging me and building me up whenever I'm feeling down; she makes sure I know where she's going when she leaves, and if she goes anywhere while I'm asleep she writes a note for me telling me where she is, what she's doing, when she'll be back, and she ends all her notes with "love and God bless, Mom". Sometimes people will comment on my character traits of understanding, empathy, and kindness - which I try to show all the time, but I do occasionally fall short because, again, nobody's perfect - but I know without a doubt that I get it from my mom. Still, I have known people who were raised in different environments - including abusive situations - and have turned out differently than their parents. On that note, I have to say, family is definitely important, but if your "real" family is not a good family, then you need to have a new family that loves and cares about you, i.e., close friends; I believe that true friends, if they have any measurable positive impact on your life, are essentially family.
@@ShinyTogeticFTW well, it also has to do with the loss of innocence. Yes, Joy wanted Riley to be happy (all the time) and was very dominant, but she wás dominant because Riley was mostly happy untill they moved. Before, she never really endured major trauma, loss, sadness or bad luck. Now her world is upside down and her safe life is gone, because of the move. Riley never learned to use her other emotions proparly, because she never had to. Now she has to figure out to be more in touch with her other emotions as well.
@@cmo6055 Yes, that's also why Bing Bong dies. Or "is forgotten" rather. It's all about a page of childhood being turned, and this "naïveté" of childhood being gone. That doesn't mean Riley won't ever be happy again, because Joy does survive (contrary to Bing Bong) and Riley keeps going, but Bing Bong is the image of Riley's pure and very child-like innocence. That plays with Riley's age. She's 11, that's when a child goes from child to pre-teen.
When I first saw this movie my first impression was: "Poor Riley just wants to cry and Joy won't let her." When Riley finally does cry I cry with her every time.
Missing/Unbalanced = Disorder All-Island Shutdown = Depression Joy/Joy = Ecstasy Joy/Sadness = Melancholy, Nostalgia Joy/Disgust = Intrigue Joy/Fear = Surprise Joy/Anger = Righteousness Sadness/Sadness = Despair Sadness/Disgust = Self-Loathing Sadness/Fear = Anxiety Sadness/Anger = Betrayal Disgust/Disgust = Prejudice Disgust/Fear = Revulsion Disgust/Anger = Loathing Fear/Fear = Terror Fear/Anger = Hatred Anger/Anger = Rage If Joy had allowed that sad core memory to form an island, it probably would’ve become Minnesota Island, a stabilizing island that allowed Riley to grieve for everything she’d left behind.
Interesting to note that in the moms head, Sadness was the dominating emotion while in the dads head it was anger. This could have two explanations. One is that the mom might be suffering from depression and dad might have anger management problems. But as seen throughout the movie, every emotion isn’t as simple as sad being sad. Sadness also indicates compassion as show with bing bong. So for the mom feeling compassion and being nurturing could be a dominant emotion. And anger could mean strong, willful and discipline for the dad. Honestly I love this movie and the conversations it inspires!
It's also apparent that Dad's new business venture isn't going as smoothly as he had hoped it would, so he's frustrated right now. And Mom is probably missing all of her friends back home too, and she's quietly trying to process her own grief while being supportive of her husband and daughter. So (just like in life) the leadership roles may rotate based on the current circumstances. It really is amazing the details they worked into this film. :)
I love when people fall into the trap of thinking only Joy should be controlling Riley. The movie leads you into that trap, then makes you feel like a jerk when you realize: You can't live your entire life with one single emotion, sadness, anger, fear, love and hate all need to be felt too. So when 'Sadness' starts touching memories and reactors start to say "WTF SADNESS" "STOP RUINING EVERYTHING!" I get this sinister grin on my face like, you're going to realize why you're wrong and I get to see it. I guess that's my Joy. Edit: Nevermind. Dillon caught onto the trap almost immediately. Too smart for us.
@@ReelOzAussieDillon I'm feeling really good, I just saw that you responded to my comment and it has 16 likes so I feel great! Trying out new meds to stabilize my mood, I get to see my dad today cause he's flying in town, gonna be a good day. Very few people besides you realize how much it means to ask someone "How do you feel?" Because when you answer it honestly, it feels nice. You seem like a really good person, and a great dad.
it's a neat detail that throughout the movie Riley's outfits match her emotional state. Arriving at the new house her shirt has all 5, when Joy and Sadness are out and Riley is at the dinner table she has 3 colours, black when she's going numb while running away
Thing about core memories is that they’re special moments in Riley’s life. Her first steps or like her first time playing hockey. Those core memories made up aspects of her personalities like family and honesty island. Emotions don’t control the core memories but joy was trying to influence them into staying happy. They could change thus why the memory in the end with Riley reuniting with her parents was blue and yellow. It was bittersweet. Not ever important memory that make attribute to our personality can be happy. That would make us happy 24/7 which leads to toxic happiness. Exactly what Joy was becoming. She was trying to be the dominating emotion which might have worked for Riley for a while but it would’ve stunted her growth emotionally. It’s why Sadness couldn’t help but intervene. Riley just moved from her friends and her home to a strange place to start all over again. Naturally anger, fear and sadness would be the dominant feelings in this. Riley was feeling sad but joy kept on pushing her to the side. Love your commentary and reaction!
I still stand by my statement that I want to see a version of the ending when Riley tells her family how she's feeling but from the parents emotions point of view. The panic when Riley was missing, their memories of Minnesota coming up, the big group hug leading to a new or updated family island like Rileys
Two secrets from this movie that I like the most: 1) At first Riley is seen wearing a shirt with wide bright stripes of all five emotions, when they are balanced. When Disgust, Fear and Anger try to 'act' for Joy and Sadness, Riley wears a shirt with zigzag patterns of green and red, showing tension growing. And when she tries to escape, she wears a black shirt, not feeling anything. 2) The eye colors of all emotions match their primary colors - except for Joy, who has blue eyes. It is a very subtle hint that there cannot be any joy without sadness. Cool, right?
Ever since I was a kid I was always told that I had to always be happy and smiling which led to me bottling up my emotions and now I have severe anxiety...I hope kids these days can watch movies like this and learn and bit more about how its okay to be sad...
Omg, same. My Mom always said she “couldn’t stand” crying and we were never allowed to be sad, frustrated or angry in front of her. Now I let my own kids cry if they are sad or whatever and she always rolls her eyes like “I never let MY kids do that.” And I always just look at her and say ”Yeah, I know, that’s why I DO.” There’s more to it than that of course, we talk about their feelings a lot, but main takeaway is they know they are safe in expressing them to me. So much healthier that way. I wish you love and healing and healthy relationships 💕
Yep. Any emotion that you bottle up is going to be felt much stronger later. But you can totally bottle up emotions and not realize you are doing it. For example, for a while I was worried about my Dad's health. He was eating really unhealthy and smoking cigarettes a LOT. I started listening to James Blunt - Monsters and I BURST into tears. I couldn't figure out why for a few seconds and then I realized there was an emotion I hadn't considered, sadness via tragedy. Just rambling.
Hello fellow ARMY 💜🥺 Your comment is painfully relatable. My family used to get really, really angry at me when I wanted to talk back (or even when I didn't respond anything during a scolding) or when I had a sour look on my face when they ripped me apart with their words. I grew up in an abusive family and the after effects of that used to mess with my mind for a long time... It literally takes years to recover from childhood abuse. But then the boys of BTS came into my life and I kid you not - I'm feeling so much better ever since. 💜
Hi, I’m also an army and I’m glad you feel happier because of BTS, but also at the same time you need real people in your life, while BTS may help you to an extent you do need good people in your life, i believe you will find them someday.
Same. My family would get so mad at me when I cried and punished me if I didn't stop. They thought that would make me stop, but that made it worse. And if I wasn't happy all the time they would get mad. "Why don't you ever smile? What's wrong with you? Aren't you happy?" That's most of what I heard.
One reason why kids often don’t like vegetables is because they taste bitter to young children. Children are also biologically prone to prefer more energy-rich foods, like carbs-in contrast to veggies, which are nutrient-dense, but not energy-dense. Kids like to draw on walls because it’s often a larger space than a piece of paper. Like having a big canvas. I get the feels any time I watch this movie or scenes from this movie. It so perfectly portrays what happens when we’re going through emotional roller coasters. It’s relatable to everyone.
This tells you exactly how young I am. But, I am so glad that they played this movie for my whole school in 8th grade. I wish I had paid more attention to this movie as a young boy. I might've realized...I have a mood disorder.
Actually, cats are very perceptive if the ones they love (owners, companions, etc) are sick, especially if they're dying. They know and they keep them company so they don't die alone. It's their way of showing comfort, of showing that they're here for you. I've seen ALOT of cats who get grumpy and depressed from broken hearts. Not to mention that cats tend to stay near and comfort those who are sick. They are social animals and people tend to forget because of false stigmas BECAUSE they don't know how to read them. Ofc you would scratch and hiss at someone who is unknowingly touching a very sensitive spot, it tells them to stop. For a dog it may be a growl and fake bite. They both also walk away but people tend to force what they want more onto cats for some reason and that's where it all goes wrong. You just need to pay attention to their body language. You should check out the dodo videos on cats, they're a good watch and usually adorable. Alot of the videos have to do with trust and love. It really is eye-opening ❤. Honestly, I do prefer cats a bit more to dogs, but they're both fine
Thank you! If your cat isn't intuitive to your emotions, you haven't built the relationship yet. Thats it. My cat, if I'm upset, is immediately by my side.
@@creatingpulsars9979 I remember seeing a video where a woman was streaming or something and she started crying. Her cat was all over her, comforting her and she was like 'She's never like this.' And it showed her how much her cat really cared.
My cats give more of a damn about me than my dog does. What about when a little boy was playing in his front yard and a dog ran up and started mauling him? Their little house cat half the dog's size bum rushed him and saved the kid! I know it's not quite the same but I'm sick of people saying cats are indifferent!
This is one of the few movies that ALWAYS makes me cry and sometimes ugly cry. I cried watching your reaction. This really is a masterpiece and I'm glad you experienced this.
“This is life …life is not only about joy it’s about all of the emotions “ Dang ! Auzee we’re only 14 min of the vid and you’re already got the WHOLE point of the movie 🍿
Wonderful reaction. Toxic happiness is a thing. It’s important to validate all our feelings and FEEL them. Even more so as children so they learn to have emotional intellect. Unfortunately lots of people miss out on that. It’s ok to be not ok sometimes and it’s ok to laugh and smile when you are in bouts of sadness or depression. I wasn’t a parent when this movie came out, but I am now and watching your reaction reminds me to be more conscious of this with my little one 😊
I don't know how old your kids are, but a free advice - get them to read alot. Make sure they read and love it. Nothing...nothing will enhance and nourish them as they grow up more than good books.
My father promised himself, when my big brother was born, that he would always hug him, always tell him he loved him, no matter my brother's age, no matter what. Same with me. Affection changes everything.
It hurts losing Bing Bong coz he’s basically a symbol of childlike innocence and wonder but growing up we realize that we lose that kind of innocence and wonder. Sure, we can experience nostalgia but its never going to be the same as when we were children and thats why the scene with Bing Bong hurts :)
joy is like that friend that wants everyone to be happy just so she feel happy and not because they care much about other people's problems like mr peanutbutter
When we went through the drawing on the wall stage, my parents got Chalkboard paint & painted the bottom of the walls with it. They gave us chalk & let us go for it. Once we were over that stage, they painted over it again. All I want for my son, is to know that he can accomplish anything, as long as long as he puts his mind to it. Also, that, NO matter what, he can come & talk to me about anything and knows that I won't judge or be upset with him and will give him the best advice that I can, and will always be there for him for as long as I am able to
I honestly think this is such a perfect movie for kids. Anything that gets kids thinking about emotional mindfulness - that concept should be an essential part of a young child’s education.
The fact that Sadness "corrupts" the memories without controlling herself and Joy not knowing what happens just proves that these little characters are not in control. Riley is in control. She forces herself to be happy, pushing Joy forward for a very long time, until she loses it, going from anger to fear to disgust, not knowing how to feel. Until she finds sadness and accepts it, embraces it and expresses it. That's what this movie is about. A child who has been forced into a new life, trying her best to stay positive, going as far as pushing her own feelings away for her parents' sake (because she doesn't want to hurt them), but deep inside, she's the one hurting. What's beautiful is that when she expresses said hurt, her parents accept it, address it and comfort her, that's what this movie is about on their side of the spectrum. It's about parents, allowing their children to feel their own emotions, even when said-emotions don't "fit" with what the parents need and want.
Haven't had issues with my 3 year old drawing on walls (yet...? Lol) but have ongoing issues with stickers all over tables, furniture and floors. Loved your reaction, this is such a sweet movie. 💜
If I EVER used the phrase "shut up" tk my parents, I would have received the lonnnnnnnngggggesssst grounding in the HISTORY of parenting. I'm talkin' YEARS.
I cried watching this video. A wonderful reaction with the absolute right interpretation. Literally everyone should see it. In the end it's a topic everyone relates to in many different ways and we all should talk more about this. Just in general, more talking and more communication.
one of the brilliant things of this movie is that on a 2nd watch you start seeing Joy as the negative character... forcing her importance over the other emotions...
Thank you for this, truly. I'm so happy I found this, and you. I am now subscribed. Thank you, so much, for not just your reaction, but for your words. I had the best mother in the world, but sadly the man who helped create me was bad, and left when I was 3 years old. And the two that followed were each worse than the other, last one being a pure monster. So I dearly wish I'd had a father like you, as you sound like a great father. Despite going through hell mixed with purgatory I am happy to say that I always stayed a kind, loving soul. And even if I lost my mom at 18 my life has since turned around for the better. I miss her dearly, and love her with all my heart. But the monster of a man finally left after he got rid off her, and I managed to escape. I was able to start a new life and my journey of healing. I've come such a long way since. Today I may still have ways to go in my healing, but I am happy and proud to say that I am a good and strong person, and happier than I've ever been. I am still the kind person who help as much and as many as possible, and always will be. Now, however, I am also much happier. A kind soul with a big heart, here to help make this world a better place. And I can't wait until I have my own kids. I'll be the best mom, and make sure my kids have the happy life I wish I'd had growing up. Always be there for them, and guide them to be the best version of themselves, and good people who can keep on with making the world better! Sorry for this long and maybe messy and weird comment. I tend to "go off" when excited/emotional. Also sorry for any mistakes in spelling etc., I'm from Sweden. Anyway. Thanks again, I'm excited to see more from you!
Joy here shows a lot of toxic positivity. We need sadness in our lives, it is good. Sadness keeps us from being numb, it keeps us feeling. We need to feel. This movie is genius and so so good, makes me cry every time
This movie is INCREDIBLE with color theory. Riley: striped shirt as they're moving with all colors on them to show theyre in harmony, or so it seems. yellow jacket on the first day of school because she's still young enough to be excited. Striped shirt sans blue and yellow at the dinner table because all of her emotions are fighting for control with joy and sadness gone. Black jacket because she's emotionally shutting down. Emotions: joy has blue hair, backing up the theory joy and sadness go hand in hand. Disgust has a purple ascot, suggesting disgust is mainly motivated by what scares us. Anger is wearing a red tie showing how when were angry, we can't see, hear, or feel anything else. Think, "seeing red". And finally Sadness is wearing a white turtleneck as a combination of all the emotions, like how all light is combined to make white light.
I like your point at around 10 min in about "reading the room" and "picking up emotions." My family have always said that people are like radios. We're all tuned to different frequencies at different times. You know when someone angry or really sad walks into a room, and you immediately sense that change in the air? Thats why. And empathy is essentially your frequencies syncing up with others, tuning you in to what theyre feeling. Or why some people seem to be able to think what each other are thinking, theyre tuned together :)
There are so many emotional and funny moments in this movie. I love seeing not only in Riley’s head but the different versions in her parents. But my all time favourite has to be at the very end when she bumps into the boy and we flash into his head and it’s just sirens and chaos and screaming as an alarm blares “girl! Girl!” 😂😂
This movie has a special place in my heart. It reminds me that it's okay for sadness to be in charge because it's just as valuable as joy. I've always struggled with mental illness, but especially since my mom died, all of my memories have gone blue, so to speak. Luckily, I have access to a therapist and medication to manage things.
My little ones all drew on the walls. I took photos and left them up for awhile. There are still some of my littlest one's in her room. Some day they can be washed off or painted over, but I love them.
I just watched this via Cinema Therapy and they provided some really good insight as to the idea of how accurate these emotions are, how realistic riley's reactions to her world are, and honest/importance of having imaginary friends are to young children as part of their development. and we as adults sometimes forget that: A) we were their age at one point. B) the kids aren't better/worse at handling emotions than adults. Kids are allowed to feel their feelings, and shouldn't be punished for those emotions. They explain it much better.
My brother and I had plain white cheap wallpaper in our rooms and were free to draw on it. Every year our parents gave us the choice - lovely wallpaper and no more drawing on it or another layer /year of the cheap white stuff..... I loved drawing so I was 8 or 9 when I went with the nice one 😉 By the way. Drawing on any other surface in the house was out of bounds so when I painted the "boring new white tiles" in the bathroom red with a bucket of forgotten (not locked away oil based) paint ....i was 3 at that time and 40 years later my parents still talk about THAT day 😅😂😂😂
I'm very happy you watched this. Suggested it on another video here. You can learn so much from this movie. I am gonna show this to my kids when they are old enough. The scene with bingbong always makes me cry. Thank you for bringing the message to all of us how important a family and support is. ❤
Pixar brought in an *entire team* of psychologists and neurologists for this movie!! They really put the work in. This film is a masterpiece, and every single word and action means something, and is _accurate_ to how the brain processes things! Also, I am RIGHT there with you with how I saw my parents and how they raised me. Mouthing off like that, let alone stealing from them... unthinkable. I would never have DARED. They weren't abusive or harsh or anything, they just raised me right, with a heck of a lot of respect for them as my parents.
I think that the forgetting of BingBong is so sad because of what he represents? Loss of something innocent, something that made you happy and not realize it anymore...Something like that.
You definitely have to react to the newest Disney Pixar animation called "Luca". THIS WAS THE MOVIE WHICH BROKE ME!!! I was crying like a baby while watching it... You probably won't understand it like I do, but I think it'll still move you. It's because I feel like I understand what Alberto feels for every second in this movie. I had a few similar situations in my life and this animation is just so close to my heart. Think about it. It'll be awesome to see you watching this movie ❤️❤️❤️
I think cats can be pretty in tune with people's feelings too. I remember reading a story about this one cat owner who started crying because her very sick cat had been refusing to eat, but when the cat saw how sad their person was, the cat nibbled a little bit down, and seeing how happy that made the person, the cat did it's best to nibble on food the best it could, and even after the cat recovered, any time it's person got sad, the cat would bring a few little bits of cat food to wherever their person was and make sure the person was watching while they slowly ate the bits of food because the cat had learned to associate that behavior with cheering their person up. And in my personal experience, I remember having a cat where every time I was sad, especially when I was crying, this cat would walk up to me and let me pick it up and hold it and pet it for as long as I needed to start feeling better (and while that cat was friendly, it usually didn't respond great to being held, it never bit or scratched, but it would twist itself around until you let it go). I don't care what anyone says, cats are every bit as loving as dogs, even more-so in some cases, they just use a much more sassy kind of affection at times. You keep saying remorse, but I think the word you're actually looking for is either sympathy or empathy. Remorse means guilt or regret, while sympathy means sorrow or pity for someone else's misfortune, and empathy means understanding and sharing the feelings of others. I don't think Joy was at risk of fading away while in the memory dump. She's not a memory. Bing Bong faded because, if you think about it, he was just a memory. A much more lively memory, but he was still a memory created by emotions. Even if you do think emotions can fade in the memory dump, it clearly takes longer than memories that end up there on purpose. The sad core memory from her first day of school was still bright and colorful after nearly a full day of being in there, while the faded memories were fading away left and right (and Bing Bong didn't take long to fade away either, he was becoming transparent from the second they fell in there). Even if there was some risk of Joy fading away, it probably would have taken quite a while, long enough for her to figure a way out if the rocket plan hadn't worked. "She just turned it blue with her sadness." No, I think the implication is that the color of the memory reflects the emotion attached to the memory. That memory was always sad if you rewind far enough, but Joy never wanted to think about the part of the memory that was sad, so it was only ever yellow, because it was only ever being used for the happy part of the memory.
For me, the forgetting of Bing Bong always signified the end of her childhood innocence. I bawled like a baby the first time I saw this and my nephew thought I was nuts.
When we grow up emotions start to mix,cause adults emotions are more complex,u mix feelings when u start to grow,u need to face some reality of life,u esperience loneliness,and more. When all island falls riley is in depression,she isnt able to feal anymore
I think it hurts so much because deep down apart of ourselves inside us, when we were kids, and we needed someone to talk to, we created our friends in our minds. So, I think that's why it hits us a lot harder. Bingbong's death or disappearance's it's interpretation of what he left behind as kids when we grew up.
"mom and dad don't love us any more, that's sad. i should drive, right?" sadness for sure should have taken control there, because if she had, she could've been reassured by her parents. sadness was compelled to touch those memories, she shouldn't be repressed! forcing everything down to try and bring joy out isn't going to work. also, all the trouble came about because joy was trying to stop a core memory, when it's still a part of riley even if it's sad. i like the whole idea of memories being tinged blue. you were happy when you made them, but when you look back on them with the experience you have now, they can be sad because you can't experience them again. there's nothing wrong with that at all.
I'd like to think that sadness is like that because when you try to suppress an emotion, it will always try to come back. That's why like you said, suppressing sadness or any emotion for that matter is not good.
When they're tossing memories, they're not just getting rid of stuff she doesn't need. They're getting rid of stuff that was associated with the island that was just destroyed. And for the record, if at any point you've ever said, "I'm not a kid anymore.", that's how you know YOUR goofball island has been destroyed.
I love this movie because everyone in one way or another identifies itself with it. If i have to speak for myself im like the mother and riley at the same time. In place but with an extreme imagination.
None of Riley's emotions are ever remorseful. Even Sadness is not remorseful. She's empathetic. When you let Joy control you, and let her force all other emotions to act as though she's the de facto mob boss of everything, you can no longer empathize with others, which makes your ability to connect with others nonexistent.
Oooh, a broccoli lover too! Awesome! The vegetable is much better than people give it credit for. Although to be perfectly honest, I always add a little French dressing to better the flavor. And yes, only raw broccoli is good.
Hey, Sadness, that funny movie where the dog dies... Was that "Marley and Me?" Geez, I used to love that movie! But then I could never find it again, not even when my dog, Bandit, died. Best I could do was an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where his daughter's hamster, Pumpernickel, dies.
Kids like to draw on walls because why not? It's basically a huge canvas, there's plenty of room to express themselves. Our ancestors painted on cave walls too.
I lived and worked in Emeryville, California where this movie was made. I had a theory about the movie that I always wanted to have answered. By chance I met one of the people who worked on it. Since he helped make it I asked him a question about it. All the primary emotions all seem to have the polar opposite they represent without realizing it. Joy is also Selfish. Sadness is also Compassion. Anger is also Regret. I asked him if this was intentional as they described emotions as being double sided, and the answer was yes.
About sensing the room - you loose it as an adult because by entering the room, you are already full with your own thoughts - what are you gonna say, how will you act... Kids walk in as a blank page, so when entering the room, they feel the atmosphere and react accordingly. My kids have been to motorcycle hangout and have been calm and happy, and we have been to a family gathering with all known and friendly faces around, but with a lot of tension between family members, and, as soon as we entered the room kids went either hysterical (running, not listening, acting hype) or just started crying and became very shy with no apparent reason...
Not a parent but I remember my own motivation. We'd never had the "do not draw on the walls" talk with my parents but I'd learnt that it was a "bad thing" that kids did from the media. So I was curious of what would happen if I drew on the wall. So I did, scribbled all over a section of the wall and brought my mom to see. She just sighed, put a new wallpaper on that section and made me promise not to do that again. And I never did, because my curiosity had been satisfied.
When my son was 3 years old, he wrote numbers from 1 to 16 aaalll along the hall's wall. I didn't know how to feel because it was impressive that he could write perfect numbers like that at that age, but at the same time he did it on the wall 😅😅
You are one of the first reactors whi got the whole thing pritty much from the start, I love it. A lot of people kinda got angry at sadness until the end when they understood what was going on. Is true that they gave counciousnes to the emotions, but they don't control Riley nor Riley controls them, they work together. Sadness was acting by instinc because she is Riley's sadness while Riley's happines was trying to hide Sadness. Is complicated to explain it prperley in the coment sections but I'm sure you got it. I can say I love Inside Out for all the psychological aspect and because is actully really well done being complex yet simple to be easy to understand even for Kids. Beside of how full it is of Symbolism, I could made a whole essay explaining this movie and how I understood everything, is facinating! Tangled is my favourite Disney Movie, Inside Out is my favourite Pixar Movie.
One of the biggest reasons kids don't like vegetables is because parents are busy and don't have time to make them the best way. Just defrosting and heating them doesn't do them justice.
I was watching this movie with my wife on my Birthday when I got a call informing me that my Dad had just died. Definitely a blue core memory. Love the movie.
I always love your laughter so much xD it's really the best and I laugh with it :D And i love your commentary always and how you reflect on the messages and it's really true what you say at the end and I also realize by time that some problems in the relationship between my parents also effected me and I also often times didn't feel completely safe and at peace there - but still my parents tried their best and my mother from time to time also asked how i feel etc., but still a problematic relationship between the parents is still really damaging emotionally and it's also kind of hard to really don't make some of the same mistakes. But still I love my parents and it has gotten better sinced i moved out, but still, it's really so important that parents really make sure that the kids grow up in a good environment where they can experience safety and stability. Therefore thank you very much for the shoutout!
I drew on the wall when I was little and my mom made me clean it up (to the best of a two year olds ability). Made me never want to draw on the walls again.
Im not a parent, more like a teen but let me tell u me and my little sister use to draw on the wall. So yea im sure that was with mostly everyone when they were younger
Riley is feeling sad and angry because everything about moving is kind of shitty, and she needs to feel and process those feelings in order to move on, but then mama comes in and say they need to keep smiling to help dad, so now Riley feels guilty for being sad and angry and fearful, and that's why she starts repressing herself and trying to stay happy. Many people say Joy is almost a villain in this movie, but she was just reacting to Mom and Dad putting so much pressure on a kid's shoulders.

Fun fact, animated movies get altered for different countries because of different societal norms. For example, in Japan, the broccoli scene was animated with green peppers instead, because children in Japan typically* enjoy broccoli, and the societal norm for toddlers there is to be fussy with green peppers. So it was altered to make sure the point of the scene still hit home for children, regardless of where it was released. 😊
Really? That's so interesting! And lol I can relate, I'm american but I love broccoli but can totally do without green peppers
@@fredericksaxton9782 In this Spanish-language version shown here, the dad is watching soccer/football on his mental TV. It's assumed that a lot of populations of the world would find this a more relatable sport to be watching. But in the American version, he was watching hockey, since they're a hockey family obviously.
Ahhhh that's unique. Nice
Haha how considerate of whoever came up with that
@Sanjana Roy lol I'm with you on that one. I like all kinds of peppers except the green hahah, and broccoli is awesome 🤷♀️ haha especially with cheese sauce. Lol
I love how they display when you're frustrated or angry, anger punches fear out of your mind. When you're angry you usually do and say things that you don't at the moment consider the consequences for.

This movie says a lot about toxic happiness
It really does, and I never actually realized that until I watched the video that Cinema Therapy did on this movie (I believe they referred to it as toxic positivity). When I first watched Inside Out, I got the message that all of our emotions are necessary and we shouldn't try to quash any of them, but the deeper meaning that Joy was wrong to want Riley to always be happy was lost on me at first. Maybe it's because Joy doesn't control my life, but I like the fact that this movie makes a point of showing that different people have different dominant emotions - the mom's dominant emotion was Sadness while the father's was Anger - but they were not CONTROLLED by that one emotion alone (like Joy was doing with Riley for most of the movie), it was more like a council of sorts where every emotion gave their own input before they all agreed on a decision.
As for what Dillon was saying about how important the parent(s) behavior is to the development of a child (which is one of the themes/lessons in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (another excellent movie that I recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it ;) )), that spoke to me on a couple of different levels...
It's true that no one is perfect, the perfect parent doesn't exist, but I am SUPER blessed to have a mom that I believe is as close to perfect as any human could possibly be. She has had a profound impact on my life: she tells me she loves me every day, both through word and deed; she is extremely selfless (sometimes to a fault - like I said, perfect doesn't exist - but she's working on that) and is always there for me when I need her, without stifling me; she shares her feelings with me, which encourages me to share my feelings with her; she will always give me a hug whenever I need one, and supports me in everything I do, always encouraging me and building me up whenever I'm feeling down; she makes sure I know where she's going when she leaves, and if she goes anywhere while I'm asleep she writes a note for me telling me where she is, what she's doing, when she'll be back, and she ends all her notes with "love and God bless, Mom". Sometimes people will comment on my character traits of understanding, empathy, and kindness - which I try to show all the time, but I do occasionally fall short because, again, nobody's perfect - but I know without a doubt that I get it from my mom.
Still, I have known people who were raised in different environments - including abusive situations - and have turned out differently than their parents. On that note, I have to say, family is definitely important, but if your "real" family is not a good family, then you need to have a new family that loves and cares about you, i.e., close friends; I believe that true friends, if they have any measurable positive impact on your life, are essentially family.
@@ShinyTogeticFTW well, it also has to do with the loss of innocence. Yes, Joy wanted Riley to be happy (all the time) and was very dominant, but she wás dominant because Riley was mostly happy untill they moved. Before, she never really endured major trauma, loss, sadness or bad luck. Now her world is upside down and her safe life is gone, because of the move. Riley never learned to use her other emotions proparly, because she never had to. Now she has to figure out to be more in touch with her other emotions as well.
@@cmo6055 Yes, that's also why Bing Bong dies. Or "is forgotten" rather. It's all about a page of childhood being turned, and this "naïveté" of childhood being gone. That doesn't mean Riley won't ever be happy again, because Joy does survive (contrary to Bing Bong) and Riley keeps going, but Bing Bong is the image of Riley's pure and very child-like innocence. That plays with Riley's age. She's 11, that's when a child goes from child to pre-teen.
When I first saw this movie my first impression was: "Poor Riley just wants to cry and Joy won't let her." When Riley finally does cry I cry with her every time.

If Joy had allowed that sad core memory to form an island, it probably would’ve become Minnesota Island, a stabilizing island that allowed Riley to grieve for everything she’d left behind.
Interesting to note that in the moms head, Sadness was the dominating emotion while in the dads head it was anger.
This could have two explanations. One is that the mom might be suffering from depression and dad might have anger management problems.
But as seen throughout the movie, every emotion isn’t as simple as sad being sad. Sadness also indicates compassion as show with bing bong. So for the mom feeling compassion and being nurturing could be a dominant emotion.
And anger could mean strong, willful and discipline for the dad. Honestly I love this movie and the conversations it inspires!
There was so many emotion characters that was missing, that the other emotions couldn't do but somehow did.
It's also apparent that Dad's new business venture isn't going as smoothly as he had hoped it would, so he's frustrated right now.
And Mom is probably missing all of her friends back home too, and she's quietly trying to process her own grief while being supportive of her husband and daughter.
So (just like in life) the leadership roles may rotate based on the current circumstances.
It really is amazing the details they worked into this film. :)
She could just be an empath.
@@ashleypenn7845 I took the same thing away.
I also like that dad’s anger has a double-key control protocol in place before unleashing.
I love when people fall into the trap of thinking only Joy should be controlling Riley. The movie leads you into that trap, then makes you feel like a jerk when you realize: You can't live your entire life with one single emotion, sadness, anger, fear, love and hate all need to be felt too. So when 'Sadness' starts touching memories and reactors start to say "WTF SADNESS" "STOP RUINING EVERYTHING!" I get this sinister grin on my face like, you're going to realize why you're wrong and I get to see it. I guess that's my Joy.
Edit: Nevermind. Dillon caught onto the trap almost immediately. Too smart for us.
I have experienced alot of things beyond people's imagination, in my life.
How are you feeling mate?
@@ReelOzAussieDillon I'm feeling really good, I just saw that you responded to my comment and it has 16 likes so I feel great! Trying out new meds to stabilize my mood, I get to see my dad today cause he's flying in town, gonna be a good day. Very few people besides you realize how much it means to ask someone "How do you feel?" Because when you answer it honestly, it feels nice. You seem like a really good person, and a great dad.
@Cio Lake Yeah, cats do feel it. It's just that most cats have more reserved personalities.
@@jacket5456 look at ur comment now :D
it's a neat detail that throughout the movie Riley's outfits match her emotional state. Arriving at the new house her shirt has all 5, when Joy and Sadness are out and Riley is at the dinner table she has 3 colours, black when she's going numb while running away
LOVE that! Have seen this movie many times and never noticed that!
Thing about core memories is that they’re special moments in Riley’s life. Her first steps or like her first time playing hockey. Those core memories made up aspects of her personalities like family and honesty island. Emotions don’t control the core memories but joy was trying to influence them into staying happy. They could change thus why the memory in the end with Riley reuniting with her parents was blue and yellow. It was bittersweet. Not ever important memory that make attribute to our personality can be happy. That would make us happy 24/7 which leads to toxic happiness. Exactly what Joy was becoming. She was trying to be the dominating emotion which might have worked for Riley for a while but it would’ve stunted her growth emotionally.
It’s why Sadness couldn’t help but intervene. Riley just moved from her friends and her home to a strange place to start all over again. Naturally anger, fear and sadness would be the dominant feelings in this. Riley was feeling sad but joy kept on pushing her to the side.
Love your commentary and reaction!
I still stand by my statement that I want to see a version of the ending when Riley tells her family how she's feeling but from the parents emotions point of view. The panic when Riley was missing, their memories of Minnesota coming up, the big group hug leading to a new or updated family island like Rileys
"After all, Riley's 12 now. What can happen?"
*Puberty.* 😂
Pooh Burr Tee
Probably not important :P
Two secrets from this movie that I like the most:
1) At first Riley is seen wearing a shirt with wide bright stripes of all five emotions, when they are balanced. When Disgust, Fear and Anger try to 'act' for Joy and Sadness, Riley wears a shirt with zigzag patterns of green and red, showing tension growing. And when she tries to escape, she wears a black shirt, not feeling anything.
2) The eye colors of all emotions match their primary colors - except for Joy, who has blue eyes. It is a very subtle hint that there cannot be any joy without sadness. Cool, right?
Also, A Bigger Hint: Joy And Sadness Have The Same Hair Color
Ever since I was a kid I was always told that I had to always be happy and smiling which led to me bottling up my emotions and now I have severe anxiety...I hope kids these days can watch movies like this and learn and bit more about how its okay to be sad...
Omg, same. My Mom always said she “couldn’t stand” crying and we were never allowed to be sad, frustrated or angry in front of her. Now I let my own kids cry if they are sad or whatever and she always rolls her eyes like “I never let MY kids do that.” And I always just look at her and say ”Yeah, I know, that’s why I DO.” There’s more to it than that of course, we talk about their feelings a lot, but main takeaway is they know they are safe in expressing them to me. So much healthier that way.
I wish you love and healing and healthy relationships 💕
Yep. Any emotion that you bottle up is going to be felt much stronger later. But you can totally bottle up emotions and not realize you are doing it. For example, for a while I was worried about my Dad's health. He was eating really unhealthy and smoking cigarettes a LOT. I started listening to James Blunt - Monsters and I BURST into tears. I couldn't figure out why for a few seconds and then I realized there was an emotion I hadn't considered, sadness via tragedy. Just rambling.
Hello fellow ARMY 💜🥺
Your comment is painfully relatable. My family used to get really, really angry at me when I wanted to talk back (or even when I didn't respond anything during a scolding) or when I had a sour look on my face when they ripped me apart with their words.
I grew up in an abusive family and the after effects of that used to mess with my mind for a long time... It literally takes years to recover from childhood abuse. But then the boys of BTS came into my life and I kid you not - I'm feeling so much better ever since. 💜
Hi, I’m also an army and I’m glad you feel happier because of BTS, but also at the same time you need real people in your life, while BTS may help you to an extent you do need good people in your life, i believe you will find them someday.
Same. My family would get so mad at me when I cried and punished me if I didn't stop. They thought that would make me stop, but that made it worse. And if I wasn't happy all the time they would get mad. "Why don't you ever smile? What's wrong with you? Aren't you happy?" That's most of what I heard.
I love how you always get the message of these movies from the beginning, truly a wise man.
even Bing-Bongs' voice actor couldn't get through that last line without crying...
Really? He said that??
One reason why kids often don’t like vegetables is because they taste bitter to young children. Children are also biologically prone to prefer more energy-rich foods, like carbs-in contrast to veggies, which are nutrient-dense, but not energy-dense.
Kids like to draw on walls because it’s often a larger space than a piece of paper. Like having a big canvas.
I get the feels any time I watch this movie or scenes from this movie. It so perfectly portrays what happens when we’re going through emotional roller coasters. It’s relatable to everyone.
This tells you exactly how young I am. But, I am so glad that they played this movie for my whole school in 8th grade. I wish I had paid more attention to this movie as a young boy. I might've realized...I have a mood disorder.
I loved veggies especially brussel sprouts.
All vegetables just taste like sour water to me with the exception of onions.
Actually, cats are very perceptive if the ones they love (owners, companions, etc) are sick, especially if they're dying. They know and they keep them company so they don't die alone. It's their way of showing comfort, of showing that they're here for you.
I've seen ALOT of cats who get grumpy and depressed from broken hearts. Not to mention that cats tend to stay near and comfort those who are sick. They are social animals and people tend to forget because of false stigmas BECAUSE they don't know how to read them. Ofc you would scratch and hiss at someone who is unknowingly touching a very sensitive spot, it tells them to stop. For a dog it may be a growl and fake bite.
They both also walk away but people tend to force what they want more onto cats for some reason and that's where it all goes wrong. You just need to pay attention to their body language.
You should check out the dodo videos on cats, they're a good watch and usually adorable.
Alot of the videos have to do with trust and love. It really is eye-opening ❤.
Honestly, I do prefer cats a bit more to dogs, but they're both fine
Thank you! If your cat isn't intuitive to your emotions, you haven't built the relationship yet. Thats it. My cat, if I'm upset, is immediately by my side.
@@creatingpulsars9979 exactly
@@creatingpulsars9979 I remember seeing a video where a woman was streaming or something and she started crying. Her cat was all over her, comforting her and she was like 'She's never like this.' And it showed her how much her cat really cared.
My cats give more of a damn about me than my dog does.
What about when a little boy was playing in his front yard and a dog ran up and started mauling him? Their little house cat half the dog's size bum rushed him and saved the kid! I know it's not quite the same but I'm sick of people saying cats are indifferent!
My cat is usually very loving and perceptive if I'm sad or sick. He comes up and curls up next to me or rubs his head on me, purring
This is one of the few movies that ALWAYS makes me cry and sometimes ugly cry. I cried watching your reaction. This really is a masterpiece and I'm glad you experienced this.
Bing bong gets me every time 😭
“This is life …life is not only about joy it’s about all of the emotions “ Dang ! Auzee we’re only 14 min of the vid and you’re already got the WHOLE point of the movie 🍿
I'm listening to Dillon's philosophies on joy and sadness and thinking he doesn't need this movie, he already gets it. :D
Wwwwwaaaaaaahhhhhh
Wonderful reaction. Toxic happiness is a thing. It’s important to validate all our feelings and FEEL them. Even more so as children so they learn to have emotional intellect. Unfortunately lots of people miss out on that. It’s ok to be not ok sometimes and it’s ok to laugh and smile when you are in bouts of sadness or depression. I wasn’t a parent when this movie came out, but I am now and watching your reaction reminds me to be more conscious of this with my little one 😊
Sometimes we just need to be sad.
The dark moments in life make the good times shine brighter.
Exactly. I loved the message, you can’t let one emotion take over your life.
Riley just wanted to be happy for her mom and dad which we can all relate to. We don’t want to be sad or angry.
I don't know how old your kids are, but a free advice - get them to read alot. Make sure they read and love it. Nothing...nothing will enhance and nourish them as they grow up more than good books.
My father promised himself, when my big brother was born, that he would always hug him, always tell him he loved him, no matter my brother's age, no matter what. Same with me. Affection changes everything.
It hurts losing Bing Bong coz he’s basically a symbol of childlike innocence and wonder but growing up we realize that we lose that kind of innocence and wonder. Sure, we can experience nostalgia but its never going to be the same as when we were children and thats why the scene with Bing Bong hurts :)
joy is like that friend that wants everyone to be happy just so she feel happy and not because they care much about other people's problems
like mr peanutbutter
When we went through the drawing on the wall stage, my parents got Chalkboard paint & painted the bottom of the walls with it. They gave us chalk & let us go for it. Once we were over that stage, they painted over it again. All I want for my son, is to know that he can accomplish anything, as long as long as he puts his mind to it. Also, that, NO matter what, he can come & talk to me about anything and knows that I won't judge or be upset with him and will give him the best advice that I can, and will always be there for him for as long as I am able to
Have watched this movie countless times and still gets me every time! Loved your reaction!
I honestly think this is such a perfect movie for kids. Anything that gets kids thinking about emotional mindfulness - that concept should be an essential part of a young child’s education.
The fact that Sadness "corrupts" the memories without controlling herself and Joy not knowing what happens just proves that these little characters are not in control. Riley is in control. She forces herself to be happy, pushing Joy forward for a very long time, until she loses it, going from anger to fear to disgust, not knowing how to feel. Until she finds sadness and accepts it, embraces it and expresses it. That's what this movie is about. A child who has been forced into a new life, trying her best to stay positive, going as far as pushing her own feelings away for her parents' sake (because she doesn't want to hurt them), but deep inside, she's the one hurting. What's beautiful is that when she expresses said hurt, her parents accept it, address it and comfort her, that's what this movie is about on their side of the spectrum. It's about parents, allowing their children to feel their own emotions, even when said-emotions don't "fit" with what the parents need and want.
Bingbongs death...... honestly I don’t even cry in actual movies usually but this actually made me tear up
Haven't had issues with my 3 year old drawing on walls (yet...? Lol) but have ongoing issues with stickers all over tables, furniture and floors. Loved your reaction, this is such a sweet movie. 💜
Stickers on door handles my daughter is on. Lol
If I EVER used the phrase "shut up" tk my parents, I would have received the lonnnnnnnngggggesssst grounding in the HISTORY of parenting. I'm talkin' YEARS.
I cried watching this video. A wonderful reaction with the absolute right interpretation. Literally everyone should see it. In the end it's a topic everyone relates to in many different ways and we all should talk more about this. Just in general, more talking and more communication.
Still not at drawing on walls yet but I have a feeling I'm going to find a masterpiece on my wall any day now
50:56 this scene literally almost made me cry. even if I watch it on YT it makes me very teary eyed.
one of the brilliant things of this movie is that on a 2nd watch you start seeing Joy as the negative character... forcing her importance over the other emotions...
Thank you for this, truly.
I'm so happy I found this, and you. I am now subscribed.
Thank you, so much, for not just your reaction, but for your words.
I had the best mother in the world, but sadly the man who helped create me was bad, and left when I was 3 years old. And the two that followed were each worse than the other, last one being a pure monster.
So I dearly wish I'd had a father like you, as you sound like a great father.
Despite going through hell mixed with purgatory I am happy to say that I always stayed a kind, loving soul. And even if I lost my mom at 18 my life has since turned around for the better. I miss her dearly, and love her with all my heart. But the monster of a man finally left after he got rid off her, and I managed to escape. I was able to start a new life and my journey of healing. I've come such a long way since.
Today I may still have ways to go in my healing, but I am happy and proud to say that I am a good and strong person, and happier than I've ever been. I am still the kind person who help as much and as many as possible, and always will be. Now, however, I am also much happier. A kind soul with a big heart, here to help make this world a better place.
And I can't wait until I have my own kids. I'll be the best mom, and make sure my kids have the happy life I wish I'd had growing up. Always be there for them, and guide them to be the best version of themselves, and good people who can keep on with making the world better!
Sorry for this long and maybe messy and weird comment. I tend to "go off" when excited/emotional.
Also sorry for any mistakes in spelling etc., I'm from Sweden.
Anyway. Thanks again, I'm excited to see more from you!
"where we will be this character , this character, or did character. Or even the DEPRESSED character."
This movie makes me so emotional every time and when i watch a reaction to it i still feel it ❤😭
Joy here shows a lot of toxic positivity. We need sadness in our lives, it is good.
Sadness keeps us from being numb, it keeps us feeling. We need to feel.
This movie is genius and so so good, makes me cry every time
Right? That’s what I love about it. I watched it a few days ago, and it always gets me, mostly the end when Riley comes back.
Do anyone noticed the movie told us lies break our thoughts as the train bridge was destroyed by honesty island.
This movie is INCREDIBLE with color theory.
Riley: striped shirt as they're moving with all colors on them to show theyre in harmony, or so it seems. yellow jacket on the first day of school because she's still young enough to be excited. Striped shirt sans blue and yellow at the dinner table because all of her emotions are fighting for control with joy and sadness gone. Black jacket because she's emotionally shutting down.
Emotions: joy has blue hair, backing up the theory joy and sadness go hand in hand. Disgust has a purple ascot, suggesting disgust is mainly motivated by what scares us. Anger is wearing a red tie showing how when were angry, we can't see, hear, or feel anything else. Think, "seeing red". And finally Sadness is wearing a white turtleneck as a combination of all the emotions, like how all light is combined to make white light.
I like your point at around 10 min in about "reading the room" and "picking up emotions." My family have always said that people are like radios. We're all tuned to different frequencies at different times. You know when someone angry or really sad walks into a room, and you immediately sense that change in the air? Thats why. And empathy is essentially your frequencies syncing up with others, tuning you in to what theyre feeling. Or why some people seem to be able to think what each other are thinking, theyre tuned together :)
There are so many emotional and funny moments in this movie. I love seeing not only in Riley’s head but the different versions in her parents. But my all time favourite has to be at the very end when she bumps into the boy and we flash into his head and it’s just sirens and chaos and screaming as an alarm blares “girl! Girl!” 😂😂
This movie has a special place in my heart. It reminds me that it's okay for sadness to be in charge because it's just as valuable as joy. I've always struggled with mental illness, but especially since my mom died, all of my memories have gone blue, so to speak. Luckily, I have access to a therapist and medication to manage things.
My little ones all drew on the walls. I took photos and left them up for awhile. There are still some of my littlest one's in her room. Some day they can be washed off or painted over, but I love them.
I just watched this via Cinema Therapy and they provided some really good insight as to the idea of how accurate these emotions are, how realistic riley's reactions to her world are, and honest/importance of having imaginary friends are to young children as part of their development.
and we as adults sometimes forget that:
A) we were their age at one point.
B) the kids aren't better/worse at handling emotions than adults. Kids are allowed to feel their feelings, and shouldn't be punished for those emotions.
They explain it much better.
Yes I’m a teenager and yes I cry about bing bong every time what about it
I think the creepiest part of this move that nobody seems to mention is that Mom's brain is lead by fear, while Dad's brain is controlled by anger...
My brother and I had plain white cheap wallpaper in our rooms and were free to draw on it. Every year our parents gave us the choice - lovely wallpaper and no more drawing on it or another layer /year of the cheap white stuff..... I loved drawing so I was 8 or 9 when I went with the nice one 😉
By the way. Drawing on any other surface in the house was out of bounds so when I painted the "boring new white tiles" in the bathroom red with a bucket of forgotten (not locked away oil based) paint ....i was 3 at that time and 40 years later my parents still talk about THAT day 😅😂😂😂
It's like the expression of Joy can be a true manifestation of things going right or a MASK to hide the cracks when things are falling apart.
My parents came to all of my games, no matter what sport I did or how old I was. I'll never forget their support 🥰
I'm very happy you watched this. Suggested it on another video here. You can learn so much from this movie. I am gonna show this to my kids when they are old enough. The scene with bingbong always makes me cry.
Thank you for bringing the message to all of us how important a family and support is. ❤
Pixar brought in an *entire team* of psychologists and neurologists for this movie!! They really put the work in. This film is a masterpiece, and every single word and action means something, and is _accurate_ to how the brain processes things!
Also, I am RIGHT there with you with how I saw my parents and how they raised me. Mouthing off like that, let alone stealing from them... unthinkable. I would never have DARED. They weren't abusive or harsh or anything, they just raised me right, with a heck of a lot of respect for them as my parents.
47:30 Fun fact: The voice of Bing Bong, Richard Kind cried every time he tried to say Bing Bong's final line "Take her to the moon for me, ok?"
Every time I cry, my dog Ladybug runs to smile at me and cuddle me
I think that the forgetting of BingBong is so sad because of what he represents?
Loss of something innocent, something that made you happy and not realize it anymore...Something like that.
You definitely have to react to the newest Disney Pixar animation called "Luca". THIS WAS THE MOVIE WHICH BROKE ME!!! I was crying like a baby while watching it... You probably won't understand it like I do, but I think it'll still move you. It's because I feel like I understand what Alberto feels for every second in this movie. I had a few similar situations in my life and this animation is just so close to my heart. Think about it. It'll be awesome to see you watching this movie ❤️❤️❤️
The major problem was the Mum basically manipulating Riley into pretending to be happy.
She's experiencing stages of depression.
Joy is literally MARGE SIMPSON.... same color hair, same skin, same dress XD
I think cats can be pretty in tune with people's feelings too. I remember reading a story about this one cat owner who started crying because her very sick cat had been refusing to eat, but when the cat saw how sad their person was, the cat nibbled a little bit down, and seeing how happy that made the person, the cat did it's best to nibble on food the best it could, and even after the cat recovered, any time it's person got sad, the cat would bring a few little bits of cat food to wherever their person was and make sure the person was watching while they slowly ate the bits of food because the cat had learned to associate that behavior with cheering their person up. And in my personal experience, I remember having a cat where every time I was sad, especially when I was crying, this cat would walk up to me and let me pick it up and hold it and pet it for as long as I needed to start feeling better (and while that cat was friendly, it usually didn't respond great to being held, it never bit or scratched, but it would twist itself around until you let it go). I don't care what anyone says, cats are every bit as loving as dogs, even more-so in some cases, they just use a much more sassy kind of affection at times.
You keep saying remorse, but I think the word you're actually looking for is either sympathy or empathy. Remorse means guilt or regret, while sympathy means sorrow or pity for someone else's misfortune, and empathy means understanding and sharing the feelings of others.
I don't think Joy was at risk of fading away while in the memory dump. She's not a memory. Bing Bong faded because, if you think about it, he was just a memory. A much more lively memory, but he was still a memory created by emotions. Even if you do think emotions can fade in the memory dump, it clearly takes longer than memories that end up there on purpose. The sad core memory from her first day of school was still bright and colorful after nearly a full day of being in there, while the faded memories were fading away left and right (and Bing Bong didn't take long to fade away either, he was becoming transparent from the second they fell in there). Even if there was some risk of Joy fading away, it probably would have taken quite a while, long enough for her to figure a way out if the rocket plan hadn't worked.
"She just turned it blue with her sadness."
No, I think the implication is that the color of the memory reflects the emotion attached to the memory. That memory was always sad if you rewind far enough, but Joy never wanted to think about the part of the memory that was sad, so it was only ever yellow, because it was only ever being used for the happy part of the memory.
For me, the forgetting of Bing Bong always signified the end of her childhood innocence. I bawled like a baby the first time I saw this and my nephew thought I was nuts.
When we grow up emotions start to mix,cause adults emotions are more complex,u mix feelings when u start to grow,u need to face some reality of life,u esperience loneliness,and more. When all island falls riley is in depression,she isnt able to feal anymore
I think it hurts so much because deep down apart of ourselves inside us, when we were kids, and we needed someone to talk to, we created our friends in our minds. So, I think that's why it hits us a lot harder. Bingbong's death or disappearance's it's interpretation of what he left behind as kids when we grew up.
"mom and dad don't love us any more, that's sad. i should drive, right?" sadness for sure should have taken control there, because if she had, she could've been reassured by her parents. sadness was compelled to touch those memories, she shouldn't be repressed! forcing everything down to try and bring joy out isn't going to work. also, all the trouble came about because joy was trying to stop a core memory, when it's still a part of riley even if it's sad.
i like the whole idea of memories being tinged blue. you were happy when you made them, but when you look back on them with the experience you have now, they can be sad because you can't experience them again. there's nothing wrong with that at all.
I'd like to think that sadness is like that because when you try to suppress an emotion, it will always try to come back. That's why like you said, suppressing sadness or any emotion for that matter is not good.
As a kid, We were moving close to Christmas and didn’t have a Christmas tree so I drew one on 3 pieces of paper and glued it to the wall….
When they're tossing memories, they're not just getting rid of stuff she doesn't need. They're getting rid of stuff that was associated with the island that was just destroyed.
And for the record, if at any point you've ever said, "I'm not a kid anymore.", that's how you know YOUR goofball island has been destroyed.
I love this movie because everyone in one way or another identifies itself with it. If i have to speak for myself im like the mother and riley at the same time. In place but with an extreme imagination.
THIS is the PIXAR movie that made me cry the most =') So relatable.
Even Joy has "Blue" hair, so we all need sadness to redeem our happy memories which can make us move on.
That bing bong scene gets me every time I need to stop watching inside out reactions
Animation movies always broking me, just can't stay the story telling and their endings.
None of Riley's emotions are ever remorseful. Even Sadness is not remorseful. She's empathetic. When you let Joy control you, and let her force all other emotions to act as though she's the de facto mob boss of everything, you can no longer empathize with others, which makes your ability to connect with others nonexistent.
Broccoli is actually my favourite veggie 🤠
Team Broccoli
Team Broccoli w garlic butter
Broccoli if it’s raw, no boiled, just straight from the grocery store and washed. If not specifically that I find broccoli disgusting
Oooh, a broccoli lover too! Awesome! The vegetable is much better than people give it credit for. Although to be perfectly honest, I always add a little French dressing to better the flavor. And yes, only raw broccoli is good.
Idk if its weird but we eat boiled broccoli with buttered breadcrumbs in Poland 😅 same with cauliflower
Hey, Sadness, that funny movie where the dog dies... Was that "Marley and Me?" Geez, I used to love that movie! But then I could never find it again, not even when my dog, Bandit, died. Best I could do was an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where his daughter's hamster, Pumpernickel, dies.
You know deep down I still somewhere in the back of my mind I remember my Imaginary friend.
Jay Cole once said "There's beauty in the struggle".
Kids like to draw on walls because why not? It's basically a huge canvas, there's plenty of room to express themselves. Our ancestors painted on cave walls too.
I lived and worked in Emeryville, California where this movie was made. I had a theory about the movie that I always wanted to have answered. By chance I met one of the people who worked on it. Since he helped make it I asked him a question about it. All the primary emotions all seem to have the polar opposite they represent without realizing it. Joy is also Selfish. Sadness is also Compassion. Anger is also Regret. I asked him if this was intentional as they described emotions as being double sided, and the answer was yes.
some people give up on certain things because they don't believe in them anymore. Giving up is not always unhealthy
it's so awesome how you get the message of these movies so quickly
About sensing the room - you loose it as an adult because by entering the room, you are already full with your own thoughts - what are you gonna say, how will you act... Kids walk in as a blank page, so when entering the room, they feel the atmosphere and react accordingly. My kids have been to motorcycle hangout and have been calm and happy, and we have been to a family gathering with all known and friendly faces around, but with a lot of tension between family members, and, as soon as we entered the room kids went either hysterical (running, not listening, acting hype) or just started crying and became very shy with no apparent reason...
Not a parent but I remember my own motivation. We'd never had the "do not draw on the walls" talk with my parents but I'd learnt that it was a "bad thing" that kids did from the media. So I was curious of what would happen if I drew on the wall. So I did, scribbled all over a section of the wall and brought my mom to see. She just sighed, put a new wallpaper on that section and made me promise not to do that again. And I never did, because my curiosity had been satisfied.
My niece on Seattle drew on walls when I visited back in 2016 with Sharpie pens. When I was young i peel the paint coatings of walls.
When my son was 3 years old, he wrote numbers from 1 to 16 aaalll along the hall's wall. I didn't know how to feel because it was impressive that he could write perfect numbers like that at that age, but at the same time he did it on the wall 😅😅
You are one of the first reactors whi got the whole thing pritty much from the start, I love it.
A lot of people kinda got angry at sadness until the end when they understood what was going on.
Is true that they gave counciousnes to the emotions, but they don't control Riley nor Riley controls them, they work together. Sadness was acting by instinc because she is Riley's sadness while Riley's happines was trying to hide Sadness. Is complicated to explain it prperley in the coment sections but I'm sure you got it.
I can say I love Inside Out for all the psychological aspect and because is actully really well done being complex yet simple to be easy to understand even for Kids. Beside of how full it is of Symbolism, I could made a whole essay explaining this movie and how I understood everything, is facinating!
Tangled is my favourite Disney Movie, Inside Out is my favourite Pixar Movie.
One of the biggest reasons kids don't like vegetables is because parents are busy and don't have time to make them the best way. Just defrosting and heating them doesn't do them justice.
I was watching this movie with my wife on my Birthday when I got a call informing me that my Dad had just died. Definitely a blue core memory. Love the movie.
I always love your laughter so much xD it's really the best and I laugh with it :D And i love your commentary always and how you reflect on the messages and it's really true what you say at the end and I also realize by time that some problems in the relationship between my parents also effected me and I also often times didn't feel completely safe and at peace there - but still my parents tried their best and my mother from time to time also asked how i feel etc., but still a problematic relationship between the parents is still really damaging emotionally and it's also kind of hard to really don't make some of the same mistakes. But still I love my parents and it has gotten better sinced i moved out, but still, it's really so important that parents really make sure that the kids grow up in a good environment where they can experience safety and stability. Therefore thank you very much for the shoutout!
If I yelled at my parents like that, my mom would have said, "Christina, please tell Jesus I said hi when you see him in a few minutes."
I drew on the wall when I was little and my mom made me clean it up (to the best of a two year olds ability). Made me never want to draw on the walls again.
Im not a parent, more like a teen but let me tell u me and my little sister use to draw on the wall. So yea im sure that was with mostly everyone when they were younger
Riley is feeling sad and angry because everything about moving is kind of shitty, and she needs to feel and process those feelings in order to move on, but then mama comes in and say they need to keep smiling to help dad, so now Riley feels guilty for being sad and angry and fearful, and that's why she starts repressing herself and trying to stay happy. Many people say Joy is almost a villain in this movie, but she was just reacting to Mom and Dad putting so much pressure on a kid's shoulders.
Hahaha we bought some kind of coal or blackboard paint, painted a wall in our home and let the kid draw with chalk on that!😊
OMG ID LOVE TO SEE UR REACTION TO SPIRIT!!!!! IT IS MY FAVOURITE CARTOON OF ALL TIME
I really like broccoli and caulflower aswell.
