KomodoBrothers Like that episode Squilliam Returns? Where Spongebob had those little people in his mind and one of them actually said _"We don't even exist. We're just a clever visual metaphor used to personify the abstract concept of thought."?_ (I had to look up the episode title and the quote, but you get what I mean)
In Pixar's defense, they never wanted to make sequals. Disney was the only party interested, and once they bought all of Pixar, they started churning out the sequals
Isaac Munger When? I remember the scene being identical to the clip they posted on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/8W6rntBADUQ/видео.html I did mention the "plain cheese" part just in case they mentioned it somewhere, but I don't see where that would have happened. Do you remember them briefly mentioning it after or what?
Isaac Munger Not worth watching again to confirm, but I'll take your word for it. There was quite a bit of obnoxious laughter following the punchline (particularly from someone sitting 2 seats away from me), so either that distracted me or the one line didn't stick with me. I made that point under the impression that it could've been mentioned somewhere, so no big deal and thanks for the minor correction. It's funny to imagine a place that wouldn't accommodate selling a slice of plain cheese.
When I saw this movie, I was wondering what "different" peoples' emotions would be like. Like someone with bad PTSD or emotional trauma, schizophrenia, or a psychopath. Now THAT would be interesting lol
I hate when people say “you shouldn’t be caring. It’s a kids movie, it isn’t for you.” Just because a kid is gonna be watching it, doesn’t mean it should be half assed. Kids should still have the quality of writing and production that an adult show would have. It’s insulting to think that a child will just sit and watch anything you put in front of them. Yeah that is the truth for a while but they will start to get some common sense, especially nowadays where it’s easy to access anything online, making it twice as fast for a someone’s opinion to be changed.
But you see the important thing is, that the movies are going to sell specifically when kids are of age. The companies depend on kid's, well, not so picky taste and parent's blindness. If anything I would blame the parents for giving their money away on mediocre films, since that's the true reason we are getting more and more of them
To be fair, people were actually asking for a sequel to The Incredibles. Doesn't mean that Pixar is original, but it's really the only justified sequel.
Also for the endless possibilities of a sequel, the interesting and enjoyable characters (especially if they somehow managed to bring Syndrome back and cast Jason Lee again), and yes. To continue the story from that cliffhanger.
Is horniness an emotion? If so, once the girl reaches puberty and her hormones start kicking in, will another homunculus suddenly spring up in her head and cause her to make bad decisions in high school? Is there a homunculus for the guilt she'll experience when she gets that abortion?
***** No, it's a reference to a famous philosophical paradox. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homunculus_argument I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know what the movie calls them.
Dr Shaym Actually, they kind of allude to that at the end. After all the shenanigans are over, the girl gets a new mental "control center" that is much bigger and more complicated than the previous ones, and there is a big red button that says "Puberty." So, although they certainly couldn't indulge too directly because it's a kid's movie, seems the filmmakers realized the same inevitability you did.
VictorKane115 It's pretty much the only Pixar film that left itself open for a sequel. As for the others... HELL NO! Finding Nemo and Cars had proper closure after their respective films, so the skepticism and accusations of merchandising is warranted.
Replete Replete I saw it when it came out and I kinda just watched it. Didn’t feel anything the entire time, it left my brain the second after I saw it. All my friends shitted on it for about a day, but after that I completely forgot about it. My favourite part was the water animation, that shit was amazing!
+Andrew Maxwell Its stupid because without all the inside voices, the movie turns into some sort of fever dream story about a girl with extreme bipolar disorder.
+Sergio Ortiz (AwesomeMan10144) "about a girl with extreme bipolar disorder" one) you hae NO idea what bipolar disorder IS do you? two) i feel like your saying this JUST for the sake of saying something bad about it
+Andromon PSN But every action that she makes isn't really Riley's. It's being made by other personalities inside her head. So in reality, you don't relate to her, you relate to the voices inside her head.
***** I can't speak for Adam, but maybe he was getting at that nobody has asked for a sequel in a while. The first Incredibles came out like 10 years ago right? It could be another Toy Story 3 type thing where yeah they do just want to sell merchandise while riding off nostalgia. Don't get me wrong, I am excited for Incredibles 2, but maybe we need to be cautious.
RedTheBum I hope this is one of those "it took us ten years to write a script that does the first movie justice" situation and not "it took us ten years to realize you will all watch it because of the name."
RedTheBum I'm confident The Incredibles 2 will be good. I was pleasantly surprised by how good Monster's U was; I actually like it better than the first. I mean, I too am disappointed there will be a Cars 3 and Toy Story 4, but sequels aren't necessarily automatically bad.
@MrOnepiecem7 To be honest, I much prefer Dreamworks to Pixar. Sure Dreamworks has made way worse garbage as Shark Tale and Trolls, but they've also made more varied types of films as Monsters vs Aliens, Megamind and How to Train Your Dragon, plus the criminally underrated 2D films Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron and the Prince of Egypt.
BrushedPencil Same. I liked his points, and even though I agree with all of them, some I just don't care about enough to dislike the movie/the points. Overall it was an aight movie though I'm not sure if it's one to stand the test of time.
+BrushedPencil Congrats then, you're a logical human being who can understand that something doesn't' have to be perfect to be enjoyable and that criticism of something you like is not a personal attack nor is it saying that your movie is terrible and unwatchable.
stormking279 I actually liked Brother Bear a lot more. While both have their flaws Brother Bear was a bit darker and otherwise more entertaining. Yes, the jokes tend to fall flat watching it as an adult and they shouldn't have had those free-range Phil Collins musical numbers, but I thought it was beautifully animated and really had it's emotional moments. I just found Brave _boring_. I had to force myself to get through it.
No mention as to the fact that Joy and Sadness being sucked up by the tube should have been impossible? Fear decides to quit and leave via the tube at one point but it doesn't suck him up and Anger comments that emotions can't quit. Huge plot hole that sinks the whole movie. How did critics not notice this. Who let that scene go uncut.
Procrastinator Tom Yeah, but whatever you tell me, I'm not going to watch Finding Dory. I'm not even going to check what it's plot is. I don't want it to exist.
14:36 Cartoony character designs are actually one of the main reasons why I like Pixar. If you ask me it is much easier to create something realistic by ripping it off from real life, than creating a working caricature character design from scratch. I think it's important for a studio to have their own unique look and in my opinion Pixar does that pretty well.
+SilliS Remix I like the look, personally, but you know what I miss? A little 2D animation. I mean, with all this tech, can't they do cool stuff with that?
+peyton warren Well, was it REALLY a cliff hanger?, it was more just to say, "Hey the Incredibles are back in action!" not, "OMG!, WILL THEY WIN OR LOSE, WILL THE UNDERMINER WIN?!? I HAVE NO IDEA!!!"
so the girl moved to San Francisco and immediately became emotionally unstable and began losing all of what makes her an interesting and individual person? Well at least they made it accurate
It seems to me that actually this film appeals way more to teenagers and parents, those are the two demographics I have talked to that enjoy the film. And sadness tried to touch the core emotions because she feels compelled to- the whole point of the film is to explain that looking at memories in a sad light isnt necessarily bad and is actually what riley needed to process and get over the initial depression that comes with a drastic life change. The personality islands collapsing symbolise a common symptom of depression- a loss of interest in activities that you previously enjoyed. When you have depression often you can be easily distracted and "lose your train of thought" which is why the train collapsed. Riley throughout the film is suffering from depression, and the sudden need to mature and change in her new environment. Of course there is a pre determined path for story, since in most young people suffering from depression the line of events is the same in terms of emotion. Parents really react and understand the segment where Joy cries over all the memories that dont matter to Riley anymore (because they were from her time as a baby) is the exact same thing for parents watching their child grow up, changing into a new person and in some cases experiences severe dips in their mood along the way.
its wrong to say the film isn't smart and would appeal more to young children because a lot of the subtle parts in the writing are really clever (especially from a scientific standpoint- such as demonstrating why and when we lose memories, and how the brain processes memories/thoughts of each day at night and how similar events appear in dreams). All the young children in the theatre didn't pick up on the message, tone, or even some of the jokes in the film. This film requires experience and in that way it is very niche.
As an adult watching this movie I can relate to Riley so much. As a child growing up I can't remember how much exactly I've moved from place to place. It's lonely when you're the new kid at the block and all your friends are back at the old place.
NOTE: Not saying I agree with Ebert. Just explaining why I think people are using a certain argument commonly. I think most people are coming from the Roger Ebert school of critique when they say it's a kids film. Ebert had the idea that you should always rate/review things for the target audience or as the film is setting itself up to be. So when people say "it's a kids movie," they're taken aback (I suppose,) that you are looking at it along side every other film. I'm not saying your philosophy is incorrect if it's just to look at it as a movie. It just makes sense to me why people would commonly use that as a dispute. You could argue that there are better kids films, and you'd be (most likely,) right. I haven't seen this one, so for all I know it could be average (skipped spoilers.) The Ebert philosophy would probably not rate this kind of thing super highly simply because it examines it along side other films of a similar nature--such as what you did. Just explaining the mentality is all.
GoatJesus Ebert also said that video games couldn't be art. Though these are just my thoughts, I am under the unpopular notion that if a children's movie can only work for children than it isn't a great children's movie.
GoatJesus There are many things that I adore about Ebert, but this was one thing I didn't agree with him. Your explanation is solid, but I just don't agree with it as a way to observe certain films as just kid's movie or anime and cartoons as stuff just for man children and kids. Kinda weird seeing you here as well. I guess my RUclips circle is small lol...
GoatJesus Well the problem stems from people then assuming that it is the greatest movie ever made which it isn't. Since its a movie aimed towards children, most people aren't analyzing or focusing too hard while watching it in the theater which makes them miss any problems with the film. I mean look at Frozen. Its gotten so popular to the point that its obnoxious even though it is just the same old typical animated kids movie. If people would actually use their brain while watching, they would see how un-special it is. Nobody is saying that you cant like a kids movie, but trying to put it on the same level as great live action films is a little silly since the quality of writing are not even comparable. When someone is able to predict exactly whats going to happen in the rest of the movie just from the set up, that is not good writing. That just makes it seem lazy and not new. The worst thing is that normal people aren't the only ones loving this mediocre stuff, award shows are too. These movies are winning Grammy's for having the writing of 12 year olds.
No, some of it is actually realistic. Like when she forgot how to play hockey, sometimes it seems I completely forget how to draw...I mean, if she doesn't have the core memory, then how is she going to get into the game? Also, I feel the way she acts is realistic to an 11-year-old girl. When I was 11 I cried on the first day of school, not even kidding.
+DontCallHerDotty I can relate. My first day of middle was a terrible new experience because I missed my Elementary teachers, I was partially sick, my friends weren't in the same classrooms, and a few other things were wrong. I didn't understand why I had to move to a whole new school. Those were all new experiences in one day, and I social shut down in bitterness because I didn't know how to handle it.
I broke down laughing when they got to imaginationland in the movie. I was just imagining Joy and Sadness encountering the fucked up events of the South Park trilogy Loved the movie though
TheQuazz Nah nah... He would name it something obnoxious like: "THE HIDDEN TRUTH BEHIND INSIDE OUT'S RILEY (DEATH) (GONE SEXUAL) (OTHER CLICK-BAIT I DON'T EVEN FUCKING CARE ANYMORE) (COMING OUT)
Why the hell is Joy's eyes and hair not Yellow? Why is Joy the only emotion that seems to radiate light? Why do they have genders? Who makes their clothing?
1. Foreshadowing. 2. There is a theory that states that each emotion is based off their respective neurological chemical. 3. Anger/Fear might change genders once the girl figures her sexuality. 4. Better question, WHERE THE FUCK DO THE EMOTIONS COME FROM?
+GooseMeister All of the emotions are dressed like certain stereotypical things. Fear - Nerd Anger - Office Worker Joy - (I honestly don't know, maybe one of those overly happy people with dresses.) Sadness - Emo Disgust - dress, jewelry, make up etc.
+GooseMeister I'm sorry but "each emotion is based off their respective neurological chemical" makes no sense! Do you mean neurotransmitters, because I have no clue what a "nuerological chemical" is. If you do mean neurotransmitters, then you are still wrong because they each cover a wide range of different effects in the body and the CNS.
Every time I see Pixar movies, I just look at the appeal like "Look at how child-like everyone's expressions are! Look at how fucking *huge* everyone's eyes are! *ISN'T THIS SUCH AN EMOTIONALLY-FUELED JOURNEY. LOOK AT THE PENDULUM. TELL YOUR FRIENDS. REPEAT AFTER ME; PIXAR IS GREAT."*
I thought it would have been interesting if the entire movie took place inside the brain and the story of Riley could be implied by all the things taking place in the head. that would have at least had a good amount of depth and actually make me want to think analytically about it
When Bing-Bong first got introduced I immediately thought he was going to be a surprise villain. Partially because of how he came out of now where but also because that is a very common trope in animated Disney films currently. Then he sacrifices himself for Riley.
I could only imagine YMS watching the movie at the canes festival and during the bing bong death scene everyone's crying while he's staring in disappointment. Seriously picture it in your mind you'll probably get a giggle out of it.
For a while it seemed like Pixar was doing all the good, creative movies and its parent company Disney was just living off of its past successes and its tween-oriented TV channel. But now it seems like this dynamic has reversed, Disney's the one making all the big, new movies that everyone loves again and Pixar is just rehashing old shit.
***** Nah Disney is still making shitty films that ride off the studio's old reputation, it's just that now Pixar is finally doing the exact same thing.
"I'm Herman's anxiety and I keep him safe" "I'm (insert my name here)'s anxiety and I overreact about literally everything and I make her hate social situations and never want to talk to anyone and instead watch this RUclips video, instead of going out and, I don't know, making friends"
Okay, you make some really valid points about it being formulaic and predictable -- however what really got me about this movie was that it really tries to understand how "emotional complexity" works. As a kid, of course your emotions are simple and you're mostly happy all the time; but part of growing up is learning how to cope with negative experiences and how to process the wide range of emotions that aren't simple at all. Having happy memories back home tinged with sadness IS a complex emotion and the movie allows it to be both joyful and sad. You said you laughed at the part where she cries in school, but what I find amazing about that is that it creates the first "sad" core memory she has -- that's a really negative and painful experience and she's going to remember it forever. I thought this movie was remarkably compassionate and emotionally intelligent in the way it frames sadness as something necessary to our emotional make-up, and how it frames joy as stepping back and allowing Riley to feel other emotions too. Part of growing up is not being happy all the time and learning to process your feelings. When sadness finally takes control and Riley let's herself feel sad I literally lost it in the theater -- it's so easy to feel pain and try to harden up and shut the feelings out, but sometimes you really just have to let yourself feel how much you're in pain. Like I said, you're absolutely right that it's predictable and not really innovative -- but I think it actually presents emotional complexity well, and it presents it in the context of growing up and learning.
while it’s important to criticize childrens media and expect quality movies, it’s also important to remember that the concepts in them will have to be simplified in order for smaller children to better understand them. inside out is kinda shallow in its premise of exploring emotional complexity but i think a part of that is intentional in order for very little kids to fully grasp how simple emotions build with each other to make one’s that are harder to describe. i think when viewing this movie in a lens of what small children are able to grasp it handles its topic pretty well. i cried as a kid when i first watch this movie, rewatching as an adult i see how it’s a bit illogical, but overall it still works well
@@cocothedino_2901 I feel like complicating it any further would lead to confusion, especially in a film for general audiences. It's not really intending to be a film to dive deep into emotional complexity and how brains work, it's an adventure of Joy and Sadness trying to get back to Headquarters to help a depressed girl find her footing in a new land.
I'm surprised Adam didn't mention the part on the Train of Thought when the box of "Facts" and "Opinions" get knocked over. The characters mention that they look really similar and that "a lot of people get them mixed up". The movie was okay but that one part was pretty stand out to me and nobody seems to acknowledge it.
The Centalist I really didn't like Joy. She was just so annoying. The reason they got sucked (literally) out of headquarters was because Joy went crazy trying to get rid of a sad core memory. There were times where I wanted to slap sadness but Joy takes the cake.
I'm genuinely confused by their textures. The fuzzy felt look they all have seems weird to me, especially when combined with the hair that just... kind of looks plastic and glittery? I get that they're not meant to be realistic or human, but it doesn't appeal to my brain meats.
I see it as a kind of abstract ethereal look to it, almost dream like. I think they were trying to make the emotions look like you materialized thoughts. I know that sounds stupid, but that’s just my two cents
@@Dan-vm4yb Nah it makes sense, that they're more sort of ideas than actual things. I get in theory why they appeal and why they visually work for a lot of people, but there's just something about the texturing that I can't quite get to work in my head. It's impossible to really explain. I guess it's the same sort of thing as why some people hate the feel of peach fuzz, but some love it, y'know? Edit: For the record for a few of the other replies I just noticed, I never said the designs or textures look BAD, I think the artists did a fantastic job with texturing, it just doesn't personally fit in well for me. You can both admire an animated characters amazing hair and applaud the animators work on it, AND be like "i don't personally like the hairstyle tho".
Side note, what's with the good dinosaur? It has realistic environments but cartoony character models, the contrast is just so jarring, pixar, pick realistic or cartoon and stick with it! It's like seeing a 4K master chief with a needle rifle in minecraft, sure they're both Microsoft brands but one is futuristic with HD graphics in the world of 16bit blocks.
+sonic meerkat 1. Halo was created by Bungie(rights still owned by MS, of course), so it doesn't reflect a Microsoft "aesthetic". 2. Microsoft had absolutely no ownership or involvement of Minecraft until recently, and therefore had even LESS influence. I need to get a life and stop nitpicking.
i understand that part. for that i would of gone full cartoon. although it doesn't matter at this point, the movie sold terribly, in fact most people don't even know it even came out.
It's not an issue with the premise. It's just that the Cars movies can just be redone with the cars as humans and only minor changes to the plot. The cars being cars isn't necessary to the plot. Other Pixar movies actually makes the characters being non-human integral to the story.
I dont see how you dont understand it? Like, a very marketeable object talking, or literally a psychology essay and their research was extremely well made
My theory on why so mamy people like it was because it had an actual usable message rather than "friendship always prevails", "courage is not just strength", and "Letting go is a part of life"
***** I have to agree with za21, I just saw it in a packed theater and while I did laugh at a lot of unintentionally hilarious moments, it's still a solid 7/10, just nothing new. I thought it was ballsy that they laid out everything (story/structure wise) VISIBLY IN FRONT OF THE AUDIENCE, and got away with it, but if you don't consider this to be anything more than a "touching kids movie," it's really not all that offensive. It's better than Big Hero 6, better than HTTYD2, and definitely better than Home. Great movie ≠ Flawless. Mommy is a fantastic movie, but in no way flawless.
TheMythofSissyFuss I was just making fun of him a little XD. but now being serious, you are right, this movie is better than Big hero 6, the main complain I have is that it's completely overrated only because it's a Pixar movie, come on 100% in rotten tomatoes? and people calling it "genius". 7/10 is a fair score, I'd give it a 6/10 but the difference is 1 point it's not much,
Old video, but at one point you mention Riley being unaware that her emotions are sentient, but I'm pretty sure they aren't, and are just personified emotions. They do things with little explanation because that's often how emotions are, especially for someone young and hormonal. When Sadness "touches the emotion ball" when Riley was previously happily introducing herself to her class, it's just a way to visualize Riley's thought process. She was initially happy to discuss her history before remembering that she's moved and isn't where those happy memories she was just relating to the class were, therefore, her remembering went from reminiscing to mourning, the happy memories become sad ones. Moving away from her home that she loved makes it harder for her to have joy be the predominant mood of hers since she is in an unfamiliar area she never wanted to be in, letting other emotions take over. They aren't literally fighting for dominance in her head, but her own slump allows more negative thoughts to front in the mind. I think you might've misinterpreted the movie a bit, which might've hampered your enjoyment, it is a little smarter than you let on. Although, I agree, it isn't that funny.
Good analysis and quite valid criticisms the formula is kinda cliche and the concept isnt completely original either, however this didnt stop me from loving the movie I found it really enjoyable and exeeding of my expectations
Adam, all I want you to do is tear apart Terminator Genesis with a Y and an I because the movie looks extremely shitty and insulting to the audience who made those movies popular.
J Wizard Phoenix James Cameron himself has actually said that he's seen Genesys and it's kinda good and that's giving me a sliver of hope. I know it's probably in vain, just let me suffer ...
I'm seeing the argument that Pixar's "animation" isn't as high quality as some other's a lot, but I feel like people confuse "Animation" with rendering and modeling. Like, you say you want more realism in the characters, and you want them less cartoony, but that isn't "Animation." That's a design choice. The animation, as in, how the characters move, in Inside Out, is actually quite superb, and some of the best seen from a CGI film. Mostly because they are starting to apply techniques that were commonly used in traditional animation, but widely ignored by CGI animation. The objective of animation is not, and should not be, 'realism". Realism is a stylistic choice that sometimes works well, but it isn't the goal. If it was, why even bother with animation in the first place? Just make Live Action film.
Alot of people, like me, believe high quality animation to be no different than any other art form that can be mastered. It needs a narrative that can angle itself beautifuly when adapting to the plot. Which is different from *realism* alot of people claim is what we truly want. It's not. We just want quality story telling from a billion dollar industry. Which shouldn't be hard. There are 7 billion people in the world. Plenty of people to choose a good idea and director from. Realism = believable story. Not more realistic looking characters.
When people say animation they don't mean animation, they mean general designing, no one cares about animation anymore because it's gotten so good nowadays either way
Watching this video after the release of Finding Dory, The Incredibles 2, and Cars 3 is really funny, if anything it proves the point the video is making
Eric Lee ah, thank you for being straightforward - see the critics gave this mildly average film a 99% rating. I saw the film and just found it fairly “meh” - the concept was there but it just didn’t appeal to me like Toy Story or The Incredibles did.
I remember going crazy for this movie when it was in development, but when I saw it, I was so disappointed. I was 9 at the time, and I got a few dolls for Christmas. I think I stopped playing with them after only a few months.
just remember: the tomatometer only recounts the percentage of *positive* reviews on that film all the reviews could be a 3/5 and it would probably be at 100% don't blame the film, blame the system
Not trying to defend the movie. Just gettin' the facts straight. Pixels is based off a short film. Not a ripoff of a Futurana episode. It still looks like absolute shit though...
I'm not,only because I was hoping for a considerable time skip of at least a few years (for older dash and violet)but instead their roughly the same age and it's disappointing.
TheGamerFromMars Nope. You can watch the clip here if you'd like: ruclips.net/video/8W6rntBADUQ/видео.html It would also be unlikely that such a place would exist and refuse to sell plain cheese. It's not the highlighting point of my review or anything, so it's not a huge flaw. It's just a cheap and lazy attempt at setting up a lame joke.
YourMovieSucksDOTorg The clip doesn't show them walking away from the pizza place when one of the characters (don't remember which one) says that they can't believe they only sell broccoli pizza. I'm almost certain this happened, As for your other point, while I kinda agree, it does seem fitting that a hipster pizza shop would be so pretentious that they would only sell one kind of pizza.
EXACTLY. It wasn't a Pizzeria it was a hpster bakery first, the happened to sell it. And YES the mother DOES say she's amazed it only sold that one kid. And it wasn't just a joke, it was a way of introducing the girl to the fact she's experiencing some culture clash, in addition to smaller urban housing and adjusting to a new school and everything else.
Did anyone here ever see the deleted scene where some girls talk to Riley on the first day of school when she feels lonely, and Joy tries to get her to go on the monkey bars but Riley overrides her and goes to hang out with the girls? That would've been a little more unique and clever in my opinion - where as she grows up she no longer lets her emotions take over her completely. I mean, it's fun to explore a big world like that, but it would've been real different if it really did stay at headquarters. Like a 12 Angry Men kind of setup…maybe that's too mature (mentally) for Pixar
Aren't our emotions something beyond our control? Let's say I put a teacup in front of you. Can you fear that teacup at will? Or fall in love with it at will? Sure, you could _act_ like that towards it outwardly, but that's a different thing. Similarly, if I stab your father in front of you, can you decide to not be angry at me or to not be worried about your father? Of course you can make an effort to not let your emotions control how you behave outwardly, but if there's an annoying guy next to you telling bad jokes and you ignore him instead of smacking him, that doesn't mean you are controlling him.
Crowley9 In the context of this, I think he means that controlling your emotions is not letting them allow you to freak out or overreact. It's not a matter of how you feel inside. It's not letting your emotions negatively influence your actions. To control actual emotions (how you feel inside) is possible, but it requires conditioning. It's also not something you can do on the spot. Soldiers can be trained to not panic or fear during life and death situations. Martial artists can be trained to remain calm during a fight to focus. The fact that humans react positively to money is a conditioned emotion. In nature, why would a normal animal get excited over paper?
Most people can't literally control their emotions, but most people can regulate them. emotions can be suppressed or accentuated, and many actors actually make themselves sad enough to cry
+Sebastian “little” Michaelis Lol the fucking title and the whole entire plot is a CARBON COPY of nemo, but the movie itself is ehhhhh ok... (At best) and I was just disappointing by the lack of originality of the plot, I wish it spent more time on Dori finding her parents then nemo trying to find dori... Overall I didn't like the movie.
it says that this would be the world if the meteor never hit, and this is set in a more realistic setting AND IT'S WASTED ON A "LAND BEFORE TIME" RIPOFF!
I have approximately four plot holes right here, and solutions for how to fix them to make the movie a smarter movie with better motivations for the characters and better explanations for how what's going on in Riley's head matched up with what's going on in her life: 1. In the part where the Personality Islands are crumbling in the order that they just so happen to be nearest them and walking to them (Goofball, Hockey, Friendship, Honesty, and Family), they could change them to not be positioned conveniently in that order, instead making the travel time from Long-Term to any one of those islands the same. Add in some dialogue where Joy prioritizes using Goofball Island first, because "if Sadness damages anything on that island, it won't harm Riley as much as a more important island." Joy doesn't want any of Riley's virtues to be damaged, but she figures that the risk of Riley becoming too sad to be a goofball (probably only temporary) at her new home and school is better than her being too sad for hockey, friendship, family. Joy could be written as a stubborn character that fails to realize "goofball" or hockey being a more trivial personal value than the other ones are precisely why they'd more likely crumble first and prevent them from getting back to HQ, and that Sadness wouldn't affect a stronger island just as Honesty or Family just by walking on it's surface if Riley doesn't have an IRL reason to be sad about that. 2. They could make both the scenes where Riley suddenly forgets how to play hockey, as well as the plotline where the train of thought derails because of an Island falling over and knocking over the support structures of the rails a lot less convenient by making the fall of Hockey Island the one to derail Riley's train of thought. For example, playing hockey at the indoor rink could cause Riley to think about her past and worry about how to be able to talk about her life experience in front of new peers and people without embarrasing herself by suddenly crying, or about what stuff to avoid expressing in front of new people. She could be having these thoughts, especially hockey-related ones, while actually playing at the ice rink and it could cause her to do poorly. Not just her suddenly being a confused idiot who got hockey-amnesia. This would be expressed in the movie in the form of Joy yammering all these thoughts to herself while actually riding the train of thought, and Sadness could chime in sad thoughts. Joy would get annoyed with Sadness, which could result in the train suddenly speeding up or starting and stopping quickly, sending a shower of sparks from screeching rail tires, that could dance backwards along the rail and land on Hockey Island, igniting it. Then as Hockey Island collapses, a long hockey stick from Hockey Island falls on the train, symbolizing that Riley at the moment is too busy considering giving up hockey overall to continue her train of thought. 3. The movie also coulda been funnier if they Anger or Disgust (probably Anger) actually woulda pointed out to Fear, the risk of corrupting the Joyful hockey memories when touching them. The film could then address this as that the other emotions are allowed to touch other memories without them changing color if the color change wouldn't make any sense IRL anyway. Nothing that was happening to Riley in that Hockey rink was giving Riley reason to be afraid of hockey in general, and especially not retroactively associate hockey memories from the past to be fearful. This scene, even tho it is a scene where none of the three emotions at HQ actually did anything to cause Riley to have a bad hockey experience that day, it could be a scene to demonstrate that letting other emotions touch memories not the same color as them is not so dangerous, and that she coulda sent the core memories up the tube anyway. They had more opportunities to demonstrate the character flaws of Joy, but didn't utilize them. As a result, a feature-length film centered on this subject matter handles the idea of a nuanced overly optimistic, stubbornly jubilant character notably worse than even some of the crappier Pinkie Pie episodes from My Little Pony. 4. Duplicating all those imaginary boyfriends to make a giant ladder-thing to HQ is a cheap cop-out that takes away the risk of every single one of the personality islands as well as the train of thought being removed in the first place, because they end up making it to HQ with this weird method anyway. Also... I reckon that would totally have to somewhat affect Riley's psyche when it comes to boys. The movie doesn't explain what her plan was after making it to Minnesota. She certainly wasn't gonna live by herself in Minnesota; maybe she was either gonna knock on the door of maybe an aunt, uncle, or grandparent over there. Instead of using "imaginary boyfriends", Joy could then manifest the imagination of three or four adult family members in Minnesota being agreeable and standing atop each other, their combined height totaling enough to reach the HQ or at least the trampoline. There would be dialogue in which they somewhat realistically talk to Joy as if she is Riley, agreeing that her parents were in the wrong and that any one of them would help Joy and Sadness get to HQ/Minnesota/their place. They'd be designed to look like they could be related to Riley and would know her parents. Joy and Sadness would probably fit into their hands, maybe the size of a small child than can be lifted up at the most. The one at the bottom would politely pick Joy and Sadness up and pass them up to the next person, kindly assuring Joy that they'd let Riley crash at their place. They could even have funny donchaknow Minnesota accents that her parents don't have. For audience laughs, a grandma could be at the top and the audience might think that she would politely place Joy and Sadness back at HQ, but would then casually and un-elegantly throw them at the window like a dart, causing them to splat at the window. Before that scene happens, the emotions at HQ insert the Runaway Idea light bulb, implying that the emotions are connected and that this decision at HQ being made influenced Joy to make her family-member decision.
There was a lot they could have done with this movie. It all takes place in the brain, so instead of Osmosis Jones which more or less could be used to teach anatomy, this movie could have taught about psychology. If it were put together better, it could be used to explain mental illness and things like that.
thats all i was waiting for, like thats how they'd explain why riley was acting so weird and it never came, this movie could've been something, but it took the lazy cookie cutter route and it seems no one but me adam and a couple other people care
I was really, really, really hoping for a seriously creative model, or even effective analogy of an emotional theory for children and adults. nope. Pixar stole a concept and used the setting for a another beat-by-beat, surface level, pandering, childish story.
Yeah, Inside Out definitely reminded me of Toy Story's plotline. I'm really tired of seeing the "Hero goes on a quest to bring someone back home" or "Two protagonists who are complete opposites in personality, are whisked away from home as the result of an argument/disagreement; and in order to get back home, the two have to learn to understand one another and work together" plotline retreads in Pixar's films as of late.
Why is this movie so great? Oh, I know. The soundtrack. The soundtrack drives emotions. In this movie it is one of the core elements and sets the tone. It makes empty scenes feel like they have depth. That is what made you cry at the end scene. Not the end scene.
The soundtrack was good, but the soundtrack was the soundtrack, not the movie. It may have the most emotional impact of any aspect of film, but that's because people often judge things based on feelings, and music is pure manifestation of emotion. A good soundtrack is important, but anyone that isn't simply mind controlled by sound won't be able excuse the rest of a film.
Shouldnt we except even more for kids that helps them understand the world.I grow up with Studio Ghibli and a lot of todays overprotectiv parents would attack these movies
I saw this with my mom when it first came out (I think I was like 24). We had immigrated from another country many years ago so the protag's development mostly mirrored my own so it was very meaningful to me. It took 14 years and this film for my mother and I to be able to articulate our thought enough to to talk about the move and how it made us both feel. Very positive experience in that way. Having said that, this review is ace. I admit I never noticed the lame template they used for all their shit. You are both educational and fun to listen to.
while i do agree that it spreads the message that it's okay to feel sadness/anger/fear or be in a dark place as long as you recover from it/ don't lose hope blah blah blah, i doubt some kids caught that message.
i am a huge fan of wall-e, one of the reasons is because of what you said before was because pixar did something different, it didn't go through the same plotline like you've said in your reviews... however i did enjoy inside out regardless if it might've been the same concept
True, rather than the comic relief character sacrificing himself for the protagonist, the protagonist sacrifices himself for his friend. It's a nice break from the traditional copy-paste plot
Done a few times by obscure film/television producers =/= done a million times. This is the first time a mainstream studio has made a movie for kids has depicting emotions, personality traits and thought processes in such a deep and vibrant manner. The movie is praised for its creativity because it's actually made a big difference to lives of some children, helping them to understand their emotions and convey them better. The "island" breakage was incredibly foreseeable, and yes the emotions weren't "deep" from an adult or psychology point of view, but on the whole I really enjoyed it. I didn't expect Riley to go numb and run away, that was kinda deep for a kids movie IMO. I found I could relate to some of the situations, conflicts and emotions, and not gonna lie, I cried.
You're right, Riley was super unpredictable and not in control of her emotions. It was like she was a child going through puberty and/or depression or something.
I actually really agree with this. I did enjoy the movie when I saw it, but I assume it was due to the fact that at the time a friend of mine had died, and so I felt like I wasn't in control of my emotions. Had I not been confused about what I was feeling at the time, I probably would've gotten bored with it about halfway through. The story and characters all seem very recycled, like we've seen it before. A good movie for kids, to help them understand sadness, anger, and depression and why it's okay to feel that, but for anyone above 12 it's not a great piece of entertainment.
I don't know if jumping from happiness at introducing oneself to sadness is necessarily unrealistic. I remember my first day of school in a new place and I was excited on the first day, interested in a place I've never seen before and the teachers, but once it actually sank in and I remembered the stress that school caused me once we got our first assignments and that I was yanked away from the place I used to live with less than a month's notice, I started crying silently in the middle of class. It hit me that I had to endure the stress of building new social connections all over again (as someone who was a pretty awkward and asocial autistic kid), and as someone who had poor concentration issues had to keep up with assignments and getting from one class to another which caused so much stress in my previous year that I had a psychotic episode. So, I don't know. Once that adrenaline wears off, once you're idle, sometimes it all just hits you.
Toy Story 3 and 2 have so many aparellels because they were written from the source of what is significant to a toy's world. Prospector was bitter from never being taken out of the box and wants to tell himself being played with only leads to being worn out, while being a collectors item makes you last forever. He's refusing to see play time as a worthy thing because then he'll have to face up to what he's missed. Lotso was a favorite toy like Woody and Jessie, who was lost by accident and, being a manufactured to, could be easily replaced and the kid who loved him didn't even notice the difference. He was so bitter about the hard truths of being a toy he wanted to make every other toy hurt as much as him. There are defenitley similarities, but this is because they're both meant to represent toy ordeals. And pointing out archetypal story elements in monotone can making anything sound trivial. "This is a bad story device because I recognize it as a story device'.
William Bradford Exactly. Also, it's not just 2 and 3 that begin with a fantasy sequence. ALL three of them begin with fantasy sequences. 1 had Andy playing with his toys, 2 had Rex playing a video game, and 3 had Andy playing with his toys, but this time, we see inside his imagination as he plays with them. It seems intentional that Pixar would start all three TS movies in the same manner, not a mistake and certainly not a rehash. I like Adam. I think he's intelligent, I think he's got a very interesting review style and his knack for analysis is admirable as well, but in all honesty, he's also very nitpicky and has his head up his ass kinda often, as do many of his fans. If he applied the same kind of really thorough analysis that he does in, say, his Synecdoche New York videos, I think he'd come to find that there's quite a lot to appreciate in both Toy Story 3 and (I'm willing to bet, though I have not seen it yet) in Inside Out.
Inside Out does strike me as the most Pixar movie of all Pixar movies. Pixar steers away from villains, yet most of them have some sort of antagonist you could call a villain. Inside Out keeps the struggle internal. Riley is her own worst enemy. Stories like those are few and far between and I appreciate them where I can find them.
+Sebastian “little” Michaelis if it's anybody without those symptoms, the story is predictable, but few people would know what a person with autism would do with unfortunate events like these.
I swear there are at least three SpongeBob episodes with a similar concept.

It was right after that clip.
Isaac Munger Not worth watching again to confirm, but I'll take your word for it. There was quite a bit of obnoxious laughter following the punchline (particularly from someone sitting 2 seats away from me), so either that distracted me or the one line didn't stick with me. I made that point under the impression that it could've been mentioned somewhere, so no big deal and thanks for the minor correction. It's funny to imagine a place that wouldn't accommodate selling a slice of plain cheese.
Just watched it and they had that line as Riley and the Mom were walking outside the shop.

I hate when people say “you shouldn’t be caring. It’s a kids movie, it isn’t for you.” Just because a kid is gonna be watching it, doesn’t mean it should be half assed. Kids should still have the quality of writing and production that an adult show would have. It’s insulting to think that a child will just sit and watch anything you put in front of them. Yeah that is the truth for a while but they will start to get some common sense, especially nowadays where it’s easy to access anything online, making it twice as fast for a someone’s opinion to be changed.
But you see the important thing is, that the movies are going to sell specifically when kids are of age. The companies depend on kid's, well, not so picky taste and parent's blindness. If anything I would blame the parents for giving their money away on mediocre films, since that's the true reason we are getting more and more of them

Is horniness an emotion? If so, once the girl reaches puberty and her hormones start kicking in, will another homunculus suddenly spring up in her head and cause her to make bad decisions in high school? Is there a homunculus for the guilt she'll experience when she gets that abortion?

***** No, it's a reference to a famous philosophical paradox.

I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know what the movie calls them.
Dr Shaym Would be a lot funnier to be honest.
Dr Shaym aterI saw the movie, I was like "where would horniness be? ould I have a separate character or leech off a major feeling t be a minor one?"
Dr Shaym Actually, they kind of allude to that at the end. After all the shenanigans are over, the girl gets a new mental "control center" that is much bigger and more complicated than the previous ones, and there is a big red button that says "Puberty." So, although they certainly couldn't indulge too directly because it's a kid's movie, seems the filmmakers realized the same inevitability you did.

To be fair, incredibles 2 is a sequel fans actually asked for.
***** I can't speak for Adam, but maybe he was getting at that nobody has asked for a sequel in a while. The first Incredibles came out like 10 years ago right? It could be another Toy Story 3 type thing where yeah they do just want to sell merchandise while riding off nostalgia. Don't get me wrong, I am excited for Incredibles 2, but maybe we need to be cautious.
RedTheBum I hope this is one of those "it took us ten years to write a script that does the first movie justice" situation and not "it took us ten years to realize you will all watch it because of the name."

Honestly, Pixar's immunity to criticism never bothered me until recently. Specifically, after Brave.
Lord Kristine Brave is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. Oh, it's Pixar...? ...okay, 9/10. :|
ToddTheTolerable lol but since it was Disney it automatically won the academy award
Lord Kristine Brave doesn't even look like a Pixar movie.
Lord Kristine Brave was basically a slightly better Brother Bear
stormking279 I actually liked Brother Bear a lot more. While both have their flaws Brother Bear was a bit darker and otherwise more entertaining. Yes, the jokes tend to fall flat watching it as an adult and they shouldn't have had those free-range Phil Collins musical numbers, but I thought it was beautifully animated and really had it's emotional moments.
I just found Brave _boring_. I had to force myself to get through it.
No mention as to the fact that Joy and Sadness being sucked up by the tube should have been impossible? Fear decides to quit and leave via the tube at one point but it doesn't suck him up and Anger comments that emotions can't quit.
Huge plot hole that sinks the whole movie. How did critics not notice this. Who let that scene go uncut.
it's all symbolic :P
In the case of joy and sadness they were being pulled up to the tube by the memory orb unlike the other case

If you ask me it is much easier to create something realistic by ripping it off from real life, than creating a working caricature character design from scratch.

Well after the cliffhanger at the end of the first one, they could've done it like, ten years earlier.
You'll be happy to hear that there is going to be an incredibles 2.
It seems to me that actually this film appeals way more to teenagers and parents, those are the two demographics I have talked to that enjoy the film. And sadness tried to touch the core emotions because she feels compelled to- the whole point of the film is to explain that looking at memories in a sad light isnt necessarily bad and is actually what riley needed to process and get over the initial depression that comes with a drastic life change.
The personality islands collapsing symbolise a common symptom of depression- a loss of interest in activities that you previously enjoyed. When you have depression often you can be easily distracted and "lose your train of thought" which is why the train collapsed.
Riley throughout the film is suffering from depression, and the sudden need to mature and change in her new environment. Of course there is a pre determined path for story, since in most young people suffering from depression the line of events is the same in terms of emotion. Parents really react and understand the segment where Joy cries over all the memories that dont matter to Riley anymore (because they were from her time as a baby) is the exact same thing for parents watching their child grow up, changing into a new person and in some cases experiences severe dips in their mood along the way.
its wrong to say the film isn't smart and would appeal more to young children because a lot of the subtle parts in the writing are really clever (especially from a scientific standpoint- such as demonstrating why and when we lose memories, and how the brain processes memories/thoughts of each day at night and how similar events appear in dreams). All the young children in the theatre didn't pick up on the message, tone, or even some of the jokes in the film. This film requires experience and in that way it is very niche.
As an adult watching this movie I can relate to Riley so much. As a child growing up I can't remember how much exactly I've moved from place to place. It's lonely when you're the new kid at the block and all your friends are back at the old place.
And because of said older demographics, I'd say that it needed some humor aimed at them.

+SeriouslyNotNormal HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT CHILDREN ARE STUPID?????? 12 YEAR ILD ME AND MY 6 YEAR OLD SISTER CRIED.
NOTE: Not saying I agree with Ebert. Just explaining why I think people are using a certain argument commonly.
I think most people are coming from the Roger Ebert school of critique when they say it's a kids film. Ebert had the idea that you should always rate/review things for the target audience or as the film is setting itself up to be. So when people say "it's a kids movie," they're taken aback (I suppose,) that you are looking at it along side every other film. I'm not saying your philosophy is incorrect if it's just to look at it as a movie. It just makes sense to me why people would commonly use that as a dispute. You could argue that there are better kids films, and you'd be (most likely,) right. I haven't seen this one, so for all I know it could be average (skipped spoilers.) The Ebert philosophy would probably not rate this kind of thing super highly simply because it examines it along side other films of a similar nature--such as what you did. Just explaining the mentality is all.
GoatJesus Ebert also said that video games couldn't be art. Though these are just my thoughts, I am under the unpopular notion that if a children's movie can only work for children than it isn't a great children's movie.
With that logic, the Transformers films are fucking works of art.
GoatJesus There are many things that I adore about Ebert, but this was one thing I didn't agree with him. Your explanation is solid, but I just don't agree with it as a way to observe certain films as just kid's movie or anime and cartoons as stuff just for man children and kids. Kinda weird seeing you here as well. I guess my RUclips circle is small lol...
GoatJesus Well the problem stems from people then assuming that it is the greatest movie ever made which it isn't. Since its a movie aimed towards children, most people aren't analyzing or focusing too hard while watching it in the theater which makes them miss any problems with the film. I mean look at Frozen. Its gotten so popular to the point that its obnoxious even though it is just the same old typical animated kids movie. If people would actually use their brain while watching, they would see how un-special it is. Nobody is saying that you cant like a kids movie, but trying to put it on the same level as great live action films is a little silly since the quality of writing are not even comparable. When someone is able to predict exactly whats going to happen in the rest of the movie just from the set up, that is not good writing. That just makes it seem lazy and not new. The worst thing is that normal people aren't the only ones loving this mediocre stuff, award shows are too. These movies are winning Grammy's for having the writing of 12 year olds.
GoatJesus So Twilight is a 10/10 movie because it's made for idiots.
No, some of it is actually realistic. Like when she forgot how to play hockey, sometimes it seems I completely forget how to draw...I mean, if she doesn't have the core memory, then how is she going to get into the game?
Also, I feel the way she acts is realistic to an 11-year-old girl. When I was 11 I cried on the first day of school, not even kidding.
UnbelievabIeMontages Retarded is such an outdated term. My IQ is above average.
Spook Nukem Um, no
+DontCallHerDotty I can relate. My first day of middle was a terrible new experience because I missed my Elementary teachers, I was partially sick, my friends weren't in the same classrooms, and a few other things were wrong. I didn't understand why I had to move to a whole new school. Those were all new experiences in one day, and I social shut down in bitterness because I didn't know how to handle it.
+DontCallHerDotty And what is going on with these comments? Goodness sake.
David Vazquez Well the lick my balls part comes from doc and mharti
There was a comic strip in Britain years ago called 'The Numskulls' that had exactly this concept.
It was first published in 1963.
Oh FUCK you just made some really deep memories resurface geez lmao
And in 1966 There was a film called 'Fantastic Voyage'.
HELL YES. The Numskulls is awesome.
@@rjaxxxas Fantastic Voyage was completely, different. It had nothing to so with the brain or thinking or or internal motivations and emotions.
Wuuuh you just activated something in my brain dammit as it turns out I have a memory of this
I broke down laughing when they got to imaginationland in the movie. I was just imagining Joy and Sadness encountering the fucked up events of the South Park trilogy
Loved the movie though
Imaginayyayation
Wait... The mum's emotions are all female. The father's are all male. Hers are both male and female... is she a transexual?
Film Theory: Is Riley from Inside Out Transgender?
Film Theory: The HIDDEN TRUTH About Inside Out's Riley
SHE'S A HE??!
TheQuazz Nah nah... He would name it something obnoxious like: "THE HIDDEN TRUTH BEHIND INSIDE OUT'S RILEY (DEATH) (GONE SEXUAL) (OTHER CLICK-BAIT I DON'T EVEN FUCKING CARE ANYMORE) (COMING OUT)
Shelby Longbottom Throw in "RILEY IS SANS???!" for good measure
TheQuazz Yes. XD
this review just reminds me of jow amazing ratatouille was. i need to rewatch that movie
Personally my favorite Pixar film.
Marija Vinķele Just watched that this morning...it's still good
Marija Vinķele I keep forgetting that was a Pixar movie.
Marija Vinķele _Not everyone can become a great artist. But a great artist can come from anywhere._
Marija Vinķele Also the Incredibles
Father has male only emotions
Mother only female emotions
And daughter.........
hey quick update:
im now trans.
Does that mean shes not 100% wamen
Yeah. After I watched the movie for the 1st time, I thought that was weird. They never showed her change sexes, so...
Van Royal i think it might be another facet of the mind, sexuality. It might be that at maturity they all become either one gender or the other.
@@michelsand5399 But the short in the Blu Ray (and the end scene), the boy has all male emotions.
yo when did I comment this
Finding Dory was a rehash. I've given up hope.
PooleParty24/7 The movie was so mediocre they just did it for merchandise. Why are these animation companies now doing films for merchandise?
Vintage Fan Because easy money.
Why the hell is Joy's eyes and hair not Yellow?
Why is Joy the only emotion that seems to radiate light?
Why do they have genders?
Who makes their clothing?
1. Foreshadowing.
2. There is a theory that states that each emotion is based off their respective neurological chemical.
3. Anger/Fear might change genders once the girl figures her sexuality.
4. Better question, WHERE THE FUCK DO THE EMOTIONS COME FROM?
+GooseMeister All of the emotions are dressed like certain stereotypical things.
Fear - Nerd
Anger - Office Worker
Joy - (I honestly don't know, maybe one of those overly happy people with dresses.)
Sadness - Emo
Disgust - dress, jewelry, make up etc.
+GooseMeister I'm sorry but "each emotion is based off their respective neurological chemical" makes no sense! Do you mean neurotransmitters, because I have no clue what a "nuerological chemical" is. If you do mean neurotransmitters, then you are still wrong because they each cover a wide range of different effects in the body and the CNS.
+Ciaran IL Hey, I'm not the one who came up with the theory.
maybe joy was glowing is because she is Riley ' s primary emotion
how come everyone else's emotions or whatever are all the genders of the person but the main character girls emotions are a mix or genders?
Because movie
I would think because she keeps changing (because she's still a child) so the emotions have no final design for Riley.
Because it's convenient.
Cause she's an edgy bigender teen
Maybe it's because she's tomboyish?
Every time I see Pixar movies, I just look at the appeal like "Look at how child-like everyone's expressions are! Look at how fucking *huge* everyone's eyes are!
*ISN'T THIS SUCH AN EMOTIONALLY-FUELED JOURNEY. LOOK AT THE PENDULUM. TELL YOUR FRIENDS. REPEAT AFTER ME; PIXAR IS GREAT."*
***** man you really are everywhere
Ragnell Alondite not really lol
night mare I was basically backing up YMS's skepticism to Disney/Pixar being emotionally manipulative
***** Your such a shitlord. Gawd.
Usammity Shut up meg
Cars... 3? CARS 3?! NO, PLEASE GOD NO! Satan has RISEN.
Incredibles 2 on the other hand...
TheAnimatorOfficial
I'm excited for that
+TechnoSinister パグ I'm sure not
id rather live in hell forever than watch cars 3 for a nanosecond
+TechnoSinister パグ I know right!!! Absolutely NO. FUCKING. BODY. ASKED. FOR. IT. well said.
IMO the movie would have been better if the emotions were side characters
You understand me.
I thought it would have been interesting if the entire movie took place inside the brain and the story of Riley could be implied by all the things taking place in the head. that would have at least had a good amount of depth and actually make me want to think analytically about it
Nosebleeds That would have worked better also.
I also think they shouldn't have spoken about Riley as if they were controlling her considering they literally ARE her
When Bing-Bong first got introduced I immediately thought he was going to be a surprise villain. Partially because of how he came out of now where but also because that is a very common trope in animated Disney films currently. Then he sacrifices himself for Riley.
I could only imagine YMS watching the movie at the canes festival and during the bing bong death scene everyone's crying while he's staring in disappointment. Seriously picture it in your mind you'll probably get a giggle out of it.
For a while it seemed like Pixar was doing all the good, creative movies and its parent company Disney was just living off of its past successes and its tween-oriented TV channel.
But now it seems like this dynamic has reversed, Disney's the one making all the big, new movies that everyone loves again and Pixar is just rehashing old shit.
***** So what is Pixar's tween-oriented channel called again?
***** Nah Disney is still making shitty films that ride off the studio's old reputation, it's just that now Pixar is finally doing the exact same thing.
WackySwacky I think he's referring to movies like Wreck-It Ralph or Big Hero 6
Trevor twoclever DisneyXD. My brother watches it contently.
Betrix5068 I said Pixar's. And that's Disney's second channel. I'm pretty sure he's talking about Disney Channel.
"We all have little voices in our head"
Oh yeah, great tagline for a children's movie.
This is one of Pixar’s most creative movies because most of them are sequels
the whole "emotions react" thing was so cringy.
So was the "bundle of joy" thing.
"I'm Herman's anxiety and I keep him safe"
"I'm (insert my name here)'s anxiety and I overreact about literally everything and I make her hate social situations and never want to talk to anyone and instead watch this RUclips video, instead of going out and, I don't know, making friends"
My anxiety just punched all the other emotions and said “Look at me. Look at me. I am the emotion now.”
So in better terms, “I’m an asshole”
Damn, go outside. I mean not right now with the pandemic and riots and literal armed insurrection in Seattle...
Actually nevermind, stay inside.
@@benhaney5843 Even when you know anxiety is irrational, you can't stop feeling it.
My anxiety keeps whining about how I don't have a job, and how my boyfriend may or may not love me, and all that garbage.
Okay, you make some really valid points about it being formulaic and predictable -- however what really got me about this movie was that it really tries to understand how "emotional complexity" works. As a kid, of course your emotions are simple and you're mostly happy all the time; but part of growing up is learning how to cope with negative experiences and how to process the wide range of emotions that aren't simple at all. Having happy memories back home tinged with sadness IS a complex emotion and the movie allows it to be both joyful and sad. You said you laughed at the part where she cries in school, but what I find amazing about that is that it creates the first "sad" core memory she has -- that's a really negative and painful experience and she's going to remember it forever. I thought this movie was remarkably compassionate and emotionally intelligent in the way it frames sadness as something necessary to our emotional make-up, and how it frames joy as stepping back and allowing Riley to feel other emotions too. Part of growing up is not being happy all the time and learning to process your feelings. When sadness finally takes control and Riley let's herself feel sad I literally lost it in the theater -- it's so easy to feel pain and try to harden up and shut the feelings out, but sometimes you really just have to let yourself feel how much you're in pain.
Like I said, you're absolutely right that it's predictable and not really innovative -- but I think it actually presents emotional complexity well, and it presents it in the context of growing up and learning.
while it’s important to criticize childrens media and expect quality movies, it’s also important to remember that the concepts in them will have to be simplified in order for smaller children to better understand them. inside out is kinda shallow in its premise of exploring emotional complexity but i think a part of that is intentional in order for very little kids to fully grasp how simple emotions build with each other to make one’s that are harder to describe. i think when viewing this movie in a lens of what small children are able to grasp it handles its topic pretty well. i cried as a kid when i first watch this movie, rewatching as an adult i see how it’s a bit illogical, but overall it still works well
@@cocothedino_2901 I feel like complicating it any further would lead to confusion, especially in a film for general audiences. It's not really intending to be a film to dive deep into emotional complexity and how brains work, it's an adventure of Joy and Sadness trying to get back to Headquarters to help a depressed girl find her footing in a new land.
You mention other shows that Inside Out is like, but you need to check out a British comic strip called "The Numskulls" as the premise is identical.
Larry outta nowhere, but
*Hello you*
That just gave me flashbacks.
Americans stealing British things and pretending they came up with it. Why that's as American as apple pie 😏
I'm surprised Adam didn't mention the part on the Train of Thought when the box of "Facts" and "Opinions" get knocked over. The characters mention that they look really similar and that "a lot of people get them mixed up". The movie was okay but that one part was pretty stand out to me and nobody seems to acknowledge it.
That's a little on the nose lol
When I watched this movie I couldn't stand Sadness.
The Centalist I wanted to punt her into the void >_>
The Centalist I really didn't like Joy. She was just so annoying. The reason they got sucked (literally) out of headquarters was because Joy went crazy trying to get rid of a sad core memory. There were times where I wanted to slap sadness but Joy takes the cake.
The Centalist I couldn't stand any of them.
Scott Moore yes anyone who doesn't agree with you must have missed the point. Lmao fuck off
i didnt watch the movie because im not a kid anymore.
I'm genuinely confused by their textures. The fuzzy felt look they all have seems weird to me, especially when combined with the hair that just... kind of looks plastic and glittery? I get that they're not meant to be realistic or human, but it doesn't appeal to my brain meats.
Well... it does to me. And other people I guess. Just aesthetics
Spam to me it looks very good
they designed the toys first
I see it as a kind of abstract ethereal look to it, almost dream like. I think they were trying to make the emotions look like you materialized thoughts. I know that sounds stupid, but that’s just my two cents
@@Dan-vm4yb Nah it makes sense, that they're more sort of ideas than actual things. I get in theory why they appeal and why they visually work for a lot of people, but there's just something about the texturing that I can't quite get to work in my head. It's impossible to really explain. I guess it's the same sort of thing as why some people hate the feel of peach fuzz, but some love it, y'know?
Edit: For the record for a few of the other replies I just noticed, I never said the designs or textures look BAD, I think the artists did a fantastic job with texturing, it just doesn't personally fit in well for me. You can both admire an animated characters amazing hair and applaud the animators work on it, AND be like "i don't personally like the hairstyle tho".
can we all agree that the fact and opinion joke got a chuckle
Yep was good.
Lots of jokes in this movie really land imo.
Side note, what's with the good dinosaur?
It has realistic environments but cartoony character models, the contrast is just so jarring, pixar, pick realistic or cartoon and stick with it!
It's like seeing a 4K master chief with a needle rifle in minecraft, sure they're both Microsoft brands but one is futuristic with HD graphics in the world of 16bit blocks.
The film is very mediocre honestly.
I felt there were some good moments, but the film was boring as hell until the very end...
+sonic meerkat 1. Halo was created by Bungie(rights still owned by MS, of course), so it doesn't reflect a Microsoft "aesthetic".
2. Microsoft had absolutely no ownership or involvement of Minecraft until recently, and therefore had even LESS influence.
I need to get a life and stop nitpicking.
you and me both.
i understand that part.
for that i would of gone full cartoon.
although it doesn't matter at this point, the movie sold terribly, in fact most people don't even know it even came out.
People logic
Talking Cars:cliche
Emotions in your head:BEST STORY OF THE LIFE EXISTENCE
It's not an issue with the premise. It's just that the Cars movies can just be redone with the cars as humans and only minor changes to the plot. The cars being cars isn't necessary to the plot. Other Pixar movies actually makes the characters being non-human integral to the story.
I dont see how you dont understand it? Like, a very marketeable object talking, or literally a psychology essay and their research was extremely well made
Even Cars had a better plot than Inside Out which actually had no plot whatsoever...
@@TheStOne1 The plot of Inside Out was for Joy and Sadness to find their way back to HQ with the core memories when they get blown out!
My theory on why so mamy people like it was because it had an actual usable message rather than "friendship always prevails", "courage is not just strength", and "Letting go is a part of life"
"I'm Herman's anxiety. I keep him out of trouble. And believe me, there's trouble _everywhere"_
Claireee????
"Wall-E the robot who could only say 2 words the whole movie had more character than any of these characters."
It hurts to admit that's true...
Perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes with over 50 critic reviews.
crixxxxxxxxx It's kind of sad
***** Why? It's a great movie.
za21 Yep it's flawless 1000/10, it's sad that rotten tomatoes has only a ratting limit of 100% u.u!!!
***** I have to agree with za21, I just saw it in a packed theater and while I did laugh at a lot of unintentionally hilarious moments, it's still a solid 7/10, just nothing new. I thought it was ballsy that they laid out everything (story/structure wise) VISIBLY IN FRONT OF THE AUDIENCE, and got away with it, but if you don't consider this to be anything more than a "touching kids movie," it's really not all that offensive. It's better than Big Hero 6, better than HTTYD2, and definitely better than Home.
Great movie ≠ Flawless.
Mommy is a fantastic movie, but in no way flawless.
TheMythofSissyFuss I was just making fun of him a little XD.
but now being serious, you are right, this movie is better than Big hero 6, the main complain I have is that it's completely overrated only because it's a Pixar movie, come on 100% in rotten tomatoes? and people calling it "genius". 7/10 is a fair score, I'd give it a 6/10 but the difference is 1 point it's not much,
Old video, but at one point you mention Riley being unaware that her emotions are sentient, but I'm pretty sure they aren't, and are just personified emotions. They do things with little explanation because that's often how emotions are, especially for someone young and hormonal. When Sadness "touches the emotion ball" when Riley was previously happily introducing herself to her class, it's just a way to visualize Riley's thought process. She was initially happy to discuss her history before remembering that she's moved and isn't where those happy memories she was just relating to the class were, therefore, her remembering went from reminiscing to mourning, the happy memories become sad ones. Moving away from her home that she loved makes it harder for her to have joy be the predominant mood of hers since she is in an unfamiliar area she never wanted to be in, letting other emotions take over. They aren't literally fighting for dominance in her head, but her own slump allows more negative thoughts to front in the mind. I think you might've misinterpreted the movie a bit, which might've hampered your enjoyment, it is a little smarter than you let on. Although, I agree, it isn't that funny.
Yeah I totally agree. Its kind of ironic how he acts so above the movie but also completely misunderstands the central metaphor.
Good analysis and quite valid criticisms the formula is kinda cliche and the concept isnt completely original either, however this didnt stop me from loving the movie I found it really enjoyable and exeeding of my expectations
Princess Rainbow Dash Thank you for the mature response. I'm glad I didn't stop you from enjoying the movie.

Adam, all I want you to do is tear apart Terminator Genesis with a Y and an I because the movie looks extremely shitty and insulting to the audience who made those movies popular.
Or he can view the film and form his own opinion on it.
Marcos Rosales This is the internet, I demand shit and does it happened....well since there is no new Plinkett review it never works...
J Wizard Phoenix the second trailer made it look pretty cool.
The Best Green Lantern You mean the one when they showcased the generic looking action scenes and spoiling a major plot point?
J Wizard Phoenix James Cameron himself has actually said that he's seen Genesys and it's kinda good and that's giving me a sliver of hope.
I know it's probably in vain, just let me suffer ...
I'm seeing the argument that Pixar's "animation" isn't as high quality as some other's a lot, but I feel like people confuse "Animation" with rendering and modeling. Like, you say you want more realism in the characters, and you want them less cartoony, but that isn't "Animation." That's a design choice. The animation, as in, how the characters move, in Inside Out, is actually quite superb, and some of the best seen from a CGI film. Mostly because they are starting to apply techniques that were commonly used in traditional animation, but widely ignored by CGI animation. The objective of animation is not, and should not be, 'realism". Realism is a stylistic choice that sometimes works well, but it isn't the goal. If it was, why even bother with animation in the first place? Just make Live Action film.
Alot of people, like me, believe high quality animation to be no different than any other art form that can be mastered. It needs a narrative that can angle itself beautifuly when adapting to the plot. Which is different from *realism* alot of people claim is what we truly want. It's not. We just want quality story telling from a billion dollar industry. Which shouldn't be hard. There are 7 billion people in the world. Plenty of people to choose a good idea and director from.
Realism = believable story. Not more realistic looking characters.
Maybe it's because, you know, Pixar is still using the same style of animation that they've been using for 25 years.
When people say animation they don't mean animation, they mean general designing, no one cares about animation anymore because it's gotten so good nowadays either way
Watching this video after the release of Finding Dory, The Incredibles 2, and Cars 3 is really funny, if anything it proves the point the video is making
I liked all three of those movies, though.
This got like 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, it just wasn't a film that impressed me - it was just generic.
Eric Lee bad day mate? I was only expressing my opinion don’t get your knickers in a twist.
Eric Lee ah, thank you for being straightforward - see the critics gave this mildly average film a 99% rating. I saw the film and just found it fairly “meh” - the concept was there but it just didn’t appeal to me like Toy Story or The Incredibles did.
I remember going crazy for this movie when it was in development, but when I saw it, I was so disappointed. I was 9 at the time, and I got a few dolls for Christmas. I think I stopped playing with them after only a few months.
Inside Out is below average
just remember: the tomatometer only recounts the percentage of *positive* reviews on that film
all the reviews could be a 3/5 and it would probably be at 100%
don't blame the film, blame the system
Are you going to do anything for that Pixels movie with Adam Sandler? It looks like a shitshow.
Yep. Wannabe Wreck-It Ralph. With Adam Sandler. Ooooh I can't wait...
Lycaonification Direct rip off of a Futurama episode and it's from the Happy Madison guys. You don't need Adam to tell you it's going to suck.
Not trying to defend the movie. Just gettin' the facts straight. Pixels is based off a short film. Not a ripoff of a Futurana episode.
It still looks like absolute shit though...
Isaac Argesmith
That happened. It's called Hotel Transylvania.
Isaac Argesmith
I know, but it's essentially what you'd get if the two ever came together.
That Inside Out/Age of Ultron thing was a major face palm/cringe worthy.
My favourite pixar movie was The Incredibles, & im genuinely looking forward to the second one
Andrew Martin
Especially because Brad Bird waited until he had a story he felt was worthy of putting on screen. Here's to hoping that it's good.
It's just ok in my opinion.
Themonkeymartin Yes, we all get it. You thought it was "okay". Most people like it much more than you.
I'm not,only because I was hoping for a considerable time skip of at least a few years (for older dash and violet)but instead their roughly the same age and it's disappointing.
10:45 Didn't they mention that the hipster pizza place only served broccoli?
TheGamerFromMars Nope. You can watch the clip here if you'd like: ruclips.net/video/8W6rntBADUQ/видео.html
It would also be unlikely that such a place would exist and refuse to sell plain cheese. It's not the highlighting point of my review or anything, so it's not a huge flaw. It's just a cheap and lazy attempt at setting up a lame joke.
TheGamerFromMars A pizzeria that only serves broccoli is 10 times as forced, that's not really an improvement anyway.
TheGamerFromMars Also hi Gamer From Mars, didn't know you followed this channel.
YourMovieSucksDOTorg The clip doesn't show them walking away from the pizza place when one of the characters (don't remember which one) says that they can't believe they only sell broccoli pizza. I'm almost certain this happened,
As for your other point, while I kinda agree, it does seem fitting that a hipster pizza shop would be so pretentious that they would only sell one kind of pizza.
EXACTLY. It wasn't a Pizzeria it was a hpster bakery first, the happened to sell it. And YES the mother DOES say she's amazed it only sold that one kid. And it wasn't just a joke, it was a way of introducing the girl to the fact she's experiencing some culture clash, in addition to smaller urban housing and adjusting to a new school and everything else.
Did anyone here ever see the deleted scene where some girls talk to Riley on the first day of school when she feels lonely, and Joy tries to get her to go on the monkey bars but Riley overrides her and goes to hang out with the girls? That would've been a little more unique and clever in my opinion - where as she grows up she no longer lets her emotions take over her completely. I mean, it's fun to explore a big world like that, but it would've been real different if it really did stay at headquarters. Like a 12 Angry Men kind of setup…maybe that's too mature (mentally) for Pixar
watching this made me remember how FIRE WALL-E IS
Aren't our emotions something beyond our control? Let's say I put a teacup in front of you. Can you fear that teacup at will? Or fall in love with it at will? Sure, you could _act_ like that towards it outwardly, but that's a different thing. Similarly, if I stab your father in front of you, can you decide to not be angry at me or to not be worried about your father? Of course you can make an effort to not let your emotions control how you behave outwardly, but if there's an annoying guy next to you telling bad jokes and you ignore him instead of smacking him, that doesn't mean you are controlling him.
Crowley9 In the context of this, I think he means that controlling your emotions is not letting them allow you to freak out or overreact. It's not a matter of how you feel inside. It's not letting your emotions negatively influence your actions.
To control actual emotions (how you feel inside) is possible, but it requires conditioning. It's also not something you can do on the spot. Soldiers can be trained to not panic or fear during life and death situations. Martial artists can be trained to remain calm during a fight to focus. The fact that humans react positively to money is a conditioned emotion. In nature, why would a normal animal get excited over paper?
Most people can't literally control their emotions, but most people can regulate them. emotions can be suppressed or accentuated, and many actors actually make themselves sad enough to cry
Give me enough alcohol, I'll give you the answers when I start seeing 4 of everything
Turquoise Cheetah It's misuse of language, like a saying of sort. When we say "control your emotions" we mean "don't let them influence your actions".
Stab away.

+kris stasko Yeah, talking toys and a house flying by like only 200 balloons are real, but dinosaurs doing human things? Blasphemy!
it says that this would be the world if the meteor never hit, and this is set in a more realistic setting
AND IT'S WASTED ON A "LAND BEFORE TIME" RIPOFF!
I have approximately four plot holes right here, and solutions for how to fix them to make the movie a smarter movie with better motivations for the characters and better explanations for how what's going on in Riley's head matched up with what's going on in her life:
1. In the part where the Personality Islands are crumbling in the order that they just so happen to be nearest them and walking to them (Goofball, Hockey, Friendship, Honesty, and Family), they could change them to not be positioned conveniently in that order, instead making the travel time from Long-Term to any one of those islands the same. Add in some dialogue where Joy prioritizes using Goofball Island first, because "if Sadness damages anything on that island, it won't harm Riley as much as a more important island." Joy doesn't want any of Riley's virtues to be damaged, but she figures that the risk of Riley becoming too sad to be a goofball (probably only temporary) at her new home and school is better than her being too sad for hockey, friendship, family.
Joy could be written as a stubborn character that fails to realize "goofball" or hockey being a more trivial personal value than the other ones are precisely why they'd more likely crumble first and prevent them from getting back to HQ, and that Sadness wouldn't affect a stronger island just as Honesty or Family just by walking on it's surface if Riley doesn't have an IRL reason to be sad about that.
2. They could make both the scenes where Riley suddenly forgets how to play hockey, as well as the plotline where the train of thought derails because of an Island falling over and knocking over the support structures of the rails a lot less convenient by making the fall of Hockey Island the one to derail Riley's train of thought.
For example, playing hockey at the indoor rink could cause Riley to think about her past and worry about how to be able to talk about her life experience in front of new peers and people without embarrasing herself by suddenly crying, or about what stuff to avoid expressing in front of new people. She could be having these thoughts, especially hockey-related ones, while actually playing at the ice rink and it could cause her to do poorly. Not just her suddenly being a confused idiot who got hockey-amnesia.
This would be expressed in the movie in the form of Joy yammering all these thoughts to herself while actually riding the train of thought, and Sadness could chime in sad thoughts. Joy would get annoyed with Sadness, which could result in the train suddenly speeding up or starting and stopping quickly, sending a shower of sparks from screeching rail tires, that could dance backwards along the rail and land on Hockey Island, igniting it. Then as Hockey Island collapses, a long hockey stick from Hockey Island falls on the train, symbolizing that Riley at the moment is too busy considering giving up hockey overall to continue her train of thought.
3. The movie also coulda been funnier if they Anger or Disgust (probably Anger) actually woulda pointed out to Fear, the risk of corrupting the Joyful hockey memories when touching them. The film could then address this as that the other emotions are allowed to touch other memories without them changing color if the color change wouldn't make any sense IRL anyway. Nothing that was happening to Riley in that Hockey rink was giving Riley reason to be afraid of hockey in general, and especially not retroactively associate hockey memories from the past to be fearful. This scene, even tho it is a scene where none of the three emotions at HQ actually did anything to cause Riley to have a bad hockey experience that day, it could be a scene to demonstrate that letting other emotions touch memories not the same color as them is not so dangerous, and that she coulda sent the core memories up the tube anyway. They had more opportunities to demonstrate the character flaws of Joy, but didn't utilize them.
As a result, a feature-length film centered on this subject matter handles the idea of a nuanced overly optimistic, stubbornly jubilant character notably worse than even some of the crappier Pinkie Pie episodes from My Little Pony.
4. Duplicating all those imaginary boyfriends to make a giant ladder-thing to HQ is a cheap cop-out that takes away the risk of every single one of the personality islands as well as the train of thought being removed in the first place, because they end up making it to HQ with this weird method anyway. Also... I reckon that would totally have to somewhat affect Riley's psyche when it comes to boys.
The movie doesn't explain what her plan was after making it to Minnesota. She certainly wasn't gonna live by herself in Minnesota; maybe she was either gonna knock on the door of maybe an aunt, uncle, or grandparent over there.
Instead of using "imaginary boyfriends", Joy could then manifest the imagination of three or four adult family members in Minnesota being agreeable and standing atop each other, their combined height totaling enough to reach the HQ or at least the trampoline. There would be dialogue in which they somewhat realistically talk to Joy as if she is Riley, agreeing that her parents were in the wrong and that any one of them would help Joy and Sadness get to HQ/Minnesota/their place. They'd be designed to look like they could be related to Riley and would know her parents. Joy and Sadness would probably fit into their hands, maybe the size of a small child than can be lifted up at the most.
The one at the bottom would politely pick Joy and Sadness up and pass them up to the next person, kindly assuring Joy that they'd let Riley crash at their place. They could even have funny donchaknow Minnesota accents that her parents don't have.
For audience laughs, a grandma could be at the top and the audience might think that she would politely place Joy and Sadness back at HQ, but would then casually and un-elegantly throw them at the window like a dart, causing them to splat at the window.
Before that scene happens, the emotions at HQ insert the Runaway Idea light bulb, implying that the emotions are connected and that this decision at HQ being made influenced Joy to make her family-member decision.
There was a lot they could have done with this movie. It all takes place in the brain, so instead of Osmosis Jones which more or less could be used to teach anatomy, this movie could have taught about psychology. If it were put together better, it could be used to explain mental illness and things like that.
thats all i was waiting for, like thats how they'd explain why riley was acting so weird and it never came, this movie could've been something, but it took the lazy cookie cutter route and it seems no one but me adam and a couple other people care
I was really, really, really hoping for a seriously creative model, or even effective analogy of an emotional theory for children and adults. nope. Pixar stole a concept and used the setting for a another beat-by-beat, surface level, pandering, childish story.
most boring and uninspired movie i've seen in a while.
pixar is riding on it's past work
That's an overstatement.
i think like gordon chell freeman
im so confuse
Voicing opinion = "Hater"
Yeah, Inside Out definitely reminded me of Toy Story's plotline. I'm really tired of seeing the "Hero goes on a quest to bring someone back home" or "Two protagonists who are complete opposites in personality, are whisked away from home as the result of an argument/disagreement; and in order to get back home, the two have to learn to understand one another and work together" plotline retreads in Pixar's films as of late.
"Hopefully we won't be saying the same about JJ Abrams."
Speaking from December 2019... hoo boy.
I don't get it.
Why is this movie so great?
Oh, I know.
The soundtrack.
The soundtrack drives emotions. In this movie it is one of the core elements and sets the tone. It makes empty scenes feel like they have depth. That is what made you cry at the end scene. Not the end scene.
The soundtrack being great does not make it a great movie. It makes it a movie, with a great soundtrack.
Space Jam had a great soundtrack.
tru
The soundtrack was good, but the soundtrack was the soundtrack, not the movie. It may have the most emotional impact of any aspect of film, but that's because people often judge things based on feelings, and music is pure manifestation of emotion. A good soundtrack is important, but anyone that isn't simply mind controlled by sound won't be able excuse the rest of a film.
Rustle The Musical Gorilla.+ space jam is art. You don't know true cinema until you've seen space jam.
holy shit...
they been using the "it's a kid's movie" argument since the beguining?
bunch of shills.
Shouldnt we except even more for kids that helps them understand the world.I grow up with Studio Ghibli and a lot of todays overprotectiv parents would attack these movies
4:43 "i'm jack's complete lack of surprise"
I saw this with my mom when it first came out (I think I was like 24). We had immigrated from another country many years ago so the protag's development mostly mirrored my own so it was very meaningful to me. It took 14 years and this film for my mother and I to be able to articulate our thought enough to to talk about the move and how it made us both feel. Very positive experience in that way.
Having said that, this review is ace. I admit I never noticed the lame template they used for all their shit. You are both educational and fun to listen to.
I think the message for the movie kinda deserved some praise, as it's a pretty good one.
They couldve done it better :/
It doesn't matter what message or plot any movie has, what's important is how it's executed.
while i do agree that it spreads the message that it's okay to feel sadness/anger/fear or be in a dark place as long as you recover from it/ don't lose hope blah blah blah, i doubt some kids caught that message.
i am a huge fan of wall-e, one of the reasons is because of what you said before was because pixar did something different, it didn't go through the same plotline like you've said in your reviews... however i did enjoy inside out regardless if it might've been the same concept
True, rather than the comic relief character sacrificing himself for the protagonist, the protagonist sacrifices himself for his friend. It's a nice break from the traditional copy-paste plot
***** that's what made wall-e a gem, you don't need lists of words to describe a story
Yea Ringo had REALLY GOOD animation for when it was released
Hell it looks amazing now!
Tru dat
Koda Juhola Don't you mean Rango?
Auto Correct
Done a few times by obscure film/television producers =/= done a million times.
This is the first time a mainstream studio has made a movie for kids has depicting emotions, personality traits and thought processes in such a deep and vibrant manner. The movie is praised for its creativity because it's actually made a big difference to lives of some children, helping them to understand their emotions and convey them better. The "island" breakage was incredibly foreseeable, and yes the emotions weren't "deep" from an adult or psychology point of view, but on the whole I really enjoyed it. I didn't expect Riley to go numb and run away, that was kinda deep for a kids movie IMO. I found I could relate to some of the situations, conflicts and emotions, and not gonna lie, I cried.
Movie shoulda been called _”Emotion Balls”_
You're right, Riley was super unpredictable and not in control of her emotions. It was like she was a child going through puberty and/or depression or something.
I actually really agree with this. I did enjoy the movie when I saw it, but I assume it was due to the fact that at the time a friend of mine had died, and so I felt like I wasn't in control of my emotions. Had I not been confused about what I was feeling at the time, I probably would've gotten bored with it about halfway through. The story and characters all seem very recycled, like we've seen it before. A good movie for kids, to help them understand sadness, anger, and depression and why it's okay to feel that, but for anyone above 12 it's not a great piece of entertainment.
I don't know if jumping from happiness at introducing oneself to sadness is necessarily unrealistic.
I remember my first day of school in a new place and I was excited on the first day, interested in a place I've never seen before and the teachers, but once it actually sank in and I remembered the stress that school caused me once we got our first assignments and that I was yanked away from the place I used to live with less than a month's notice, I started crying silently in the middle of class.
It hit me that I had to endure the stress of building new social connections all over again (as someone who was a pretty awkward and asocial autistic kid), and as someone who had poor concentration issues had to keep up with assignments and getting from one class to another which caused so much stress in my previous year that I had a psychotic episode. So, I don't know. Once that adrenaline wears off, once you're idle, sometimes it all just hits you.
Toy Story 3 and 2 have so many aparellels because they were written from the source of what is significant to a toy's world. Prospector was bitter from never being taken out of the box and wants to tell himself being played with only leads to being worn out, while being a collectors item makes you last forever. He's refusing to see play time as a worthy thing because then he'll have to face up to what he's missed. Lotso was a favorite toy like Woody and Jessie, who was lost by accident and, being a manufactured to, could be easily replaced and the kid who loved him didn't even notice the difference. He was so bitter about the hard truths of being a toy he wanted to make every other toy hurt as much as him. There are defenitley similarities, but this is because they're both meant to represent toy ordeals.
And pointing out archetypal story elements in monotone can making anything sound trivial. "This is a bad story device because I recognize it as a story device'.
William Bradford Exactly. Also, it's not just 2 and 3 that begin with a fantasy sequence. ALL three of them begin with fantasy sequences. 1 had Andy playing with his toys, 2 had Rex playing a video game, and 3 had Andy playing with his toys, but this time, we see inside his imagination as he plays with them. It seems intentional that Pixar would start all three TS movies in the same manner, not a mistake and certainly not a rehash.
I like Adam. I think he's intelligent, I think he's got a very interesting review style and his knack for analysis is admirable as well, but in all honesty, he's also very nitpicky and has his head up his ass kinda often, as do many of his fans. If he applied the same kind of really thorough analysis that he does in, say, his Synecdoche New York videos, I think he'd come to find that there's quite a lot to appreciate in both Toy Story 3 and (I'm willing to bet, though I have not seen it yet) in Inside Out.
Inside Out does strike me as the most Pixar movie of all Pixar movies. Pixar steers away from villains, yet most of them have some sort of antagonist you could call a villain. Inside Out keeps the struggle internal. Riley is her own worst enemy. Stories like those are few and far between and I appreciate them where I can find them.
I think this story would be somewhat better if the human character would be switched with someone with aspergers/autism... I dunno...
how would that be an improvement?
+Sebastian “little” Michaelis if it's anybody without those symptoms, the story is predictable, but few people would know what a person with autism would do with unfortunate events like these.
huh. that actually sounds interesting. I'd watch that.
+Uru that's the worst part of Hollywood. So afraid of fucking up, they use the exact same stencil EVERY time.
+Hey b0ss they should use papa franku as a character in this anime films.
JJ Abrams doesn't need Disney to force him to recycle old formulas, he does that fine already.
Sadness really pissed me off.
Joy pissed me off tbh. Sadness was just a running gag.
They're both insufferable
I wanted to slap sadness the whole movie
Joy annoyed me cuz she came off as selfish but I found sadness cute and pathetic at the same time
Very mixed feelings
Instead of her sounding lazy and fake crying. Like people who suffer from depression have no energy nor want to talk.. something like that instead
This reviewer has more character than some of the characters from movies he reviews.
I mean, isn’t that just common sense? Of course a real person is most likely going to have more of a personality than most fictional ones
