I love how every emotion has two sides - Joy is also Mania, Sadness is also Empathy, Anger is also Justice, Fear is also Analysis, and Disgust is also Discernment.
And it shows how toxic positivity can force you into depression and such. It's shows how when it gets really bad, some people experience complete emotional shut down. They feel nothing, but anxiety and they constantly snap at people. And then, when nothing is done to fix it, all emotion is completely shut off. And this is VERY realistic.
@jasonchow9379females don’t express it that much either bc it isn’t taken seriously, it’s chalked up to pms symptoms. Females are more prone to negative emotions than males. However society will tell males that it’s not manly to cry and theyll tell females that their cries are meaningless. Society has a problem with emotions, period.
@jasonchow9379but those "society" are created by men. The "suck it up" mentality is from toxic masculinity. The "man can't get r4ped" is made by men too. And women can't express emotions either you know, we get made fun off by EVERYTHING. If we get angry "are you on your period?", if we get sad then we're to "sensitive" if we get to excited then we're "fangirling". We get made fun off liking sports, game, kpop, fashion, art, building and literally everything. Plus men aren't allowed to cry but women are consider "too emotional" for expressing ourself. Society sucks for everyone and honestly the mentality of "men can't cry being the hardest thing when it comes to being a men" is kinda laughable because now, you can cry. Even the men in the video says you can cry
@jasonchow9379 there's a lot to unpack here.. Firstly, don't say "men" and "females". That sounds degrading towards women. Secondly, more women than men get depression and _attempt_ sυicide. Men just succeed more often due to their methods. Thirdly, women really often don't show it either due to being called "dramatic", "overreacting", "attention seeking" or just flat out "emotional". Fourthly, women's tear ducts are not only bigger but they also produce more tears, which is actually why women cry more. And also, women are taught to bottle things up as well. In some cultures more than others. The Japanese and Germans are neither very open emotionally, both men and women. The French and Italians are the usually very open. It's not a gender thing.
theres a theory shes adopted bc when shes a newborn, theyre standing over her. mothers after birthing arent strong enough to stand like that in everyday clothes. the mom would be in a hospital gown in a hospital bed holding her. plus riley has blonde hair and blue eyes, but her parents both have brown hair and brown eyes.
I hated Joy too to be fair. I am one with Sadness. I was amazed to realize that Sadness was COMPELLED to touch Rileys old memories because it's what Riley NEEDED to heal and grow up, but she was trying not too to make mom and dad happy which it did not. Toxic positivity is always important to talk about and the movie showed that as well
I think if we really look at it, all our happy core memories are tinged with sadness because as we grow up, those moments are gone. We can't get them back, so even if they're happy memories, there's a bitterness to them.
Youre right on with Riley not knowing how to handle her emotions, since she's always relied on the positive and the good memories, and when she couldn't find that, it just kept building up until she cracked.
Parents didn't know how to help either because Riley's core emotion was joy... so when she finally started showing other emotions more fully, they were confused and surprised until Riley was able to voice her problems and talk about it at length.
I love how this movie says: sadness is often the key to sympathy and empathy, because without it we can't "feel bad" for others, or let others know that we need their help. If you force yourself to be "happy" all the time, you'll just end up miserable.
That... makes a lot of sense. Joy was a very upbeat character, but she had no empathy for Sadness or for Bingbong. She was more concerned with securing the core memories and getting herself back home than she was with the wellbeing of Sadness _or_ Bingbong... until she cried. When she cried, when she let her own sadness out, only then did she realize what sadness meant. And it was that moment where she finally allowed herself to be sad and have someone else help her that let her grow enough to mourn Bingbong, bring Sadness home, and let her turn every core memory nostalgic.
A therapist and his child started talking about emotions as colours after watching this movie together. This movie is a great tool of communication between visual learning and complex feelings.
I always thought this film should have ended with a flash forward to the future where Riley became an astronaut and was on the moon. Then she would faintly hear Bing Bong’s song 🥺
Yes. Yes. Yes! Crying when you need to is so healthy and it gets your emotions out in a healthy way. Keeping them in is always going to end in disaster.
@@lulub517I saw a video of a girl in walmart earlier who had suppressed her emotions for too long and got so upset that she peed all over the store floor.... so basically yeah 😅 don't suppress your problems
Seeing the depiction of the core memories turning sad at the end and having the understanding that "yes, these memories aren't happy for Riley anymore, and that's okay," followed by her breakdown, and finally Joy & Sadness pushing the button together to bring Riley a feeling of catharsis & comfort... THAT is peak cinema. Also PS, I think your glasses are great, Welchy. Keep being awesome!
CORE MEMORIES. My dad is a computer and robotics engineer and my earliest memory is playing video games LMAO seriously I couldn't have been more than 2 or 3. And video games have always been a hobby of mine. I especially love Elder Scrolls, COD, and Dark Souls (Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring ). My dad also is big into working out and we've had a home gym for my whole life so whenever my Dad was watching me he would move the baby swing into the gym. And I grew up loving all athletics and sports. Wait a second! Now that I'm thinking about it I wonder if my Dad purposefully programmed my personality like he does with his computers!! He turned me into him!!!! Now I know why we're so alike interests and personality wise
Oh, you're right... I always saw how Joy handing Sadness the memories was her way of getting past her fear of joyful memories turning sad, which is what got them into their mess in the first place. But you're right, those memories are core to Riley's personality, but are distant from her now and will forever have a sad, nostalgic edge around them. That's why she needed to hold all of them.
What I also loved is when we were looking into the mothers and fathers head, saddness ran the mothers head and anger ran the fathers head. It shows what emotions Rileys parents controlled their personalities.
I don't know if it comes from being a psych major but this movie always makes so much sense to me. Sadness is my driver but I think Anger and Disgust try to suppress it and it comes out as sarcasm and dumb jokes. Maybe I should have gone for the doctorate and I'd understand myself better.
My five year old daughter has an imaginary friend. She calls it Coconut, and I'm sure she'll forget it someday, but I won't. Coconut is funny as hell and sometimes I wish we could do an exchange program.
That kind of surprises me. I finished school before social media was a thing (barely, but still), so I lost track of pretty much all my friends after that. But I always assumed that since social media exploded that wasn't as much of a thing. I figured if it had existed then we would have kept up with each other, but maybe it's just a natural progression of growing up.
@@RhetoricalThrill It is. I have lost touch and drifted away from all of my high school friends but the friends of my early 20's have remained surprisingly close. Even after a couple of decades apart most of us found each other again over social media and we now keep in touch. I think it's because we experienced a lot of firsts and coming of age events together that keeps us close after all this time.
Yeah, this is mostly accurate. I’m 20 and I only keep in touch with a handful of my high school friends even tho I’m only a couple years removed. I still have most of them followed on Snapchat and Instagram but we haven’t had an actual conversation in years.
Same here. It's been ten years since I graduated and we drifted apart. After being out of school for me it was incredibly hard to make friends. In fact, all the friends I did make (although a lot went downhill) and the few I still have now i all met online. I'm anti social and awkward so idk if I'll ever make friends around me irl. But hey, i was able to meet my spouse online and after 6 years of a long distance relationship were together now since December 🥰
This is a hard movie to watch when you've been dealing with depression, because they get it right. Also with the bus driver, small point, but you don't need to be of legal age to ride one so he wouldn't have a reason to check her ID.
@@Welchy That's really strange for here in America. I'm from Minnesota (y'know, the place Riley's from) and I take the bus every day to get to school. As long as you pay the fee, you're allowed on. They don't ID anyone unless you need it for disability/senior discounts
From my experience If it’s a regular city bus (travels only within the area of that city) you don’t need an ID but Riley was specifically getting on a Greyhound bus I think (Travels across cities and state lines) and for that you need to show an ID to purchase a ticket at the booth
Speaking as someone who refused to wear her glasses for a solid year despite desperately needing them because I felt really self-conscious about how I look in them, trust me when I say no one looks anywhere near as bad in glasses as they think they do. It's mostly a matter of getting used to seeing yourself in them when you see your reflection, or in your case, a recording of yourself (also getting used to the sensation of having them resting on the bridge of your nose, and remembering that they're there when you go to scratch any part of your face near your eyes, that takes some getting used to also). Honest opinion, I'd say you look about the same with your glasses on. Personally, I found it a bit easier to accept wearing glasses when I thought about how I could do the anime glasses thing (ya know, where the lenses of the glasses gets completely whited out by light for dramatic effect). No one can feel uncool when doing the anime glasses thing.
I say a lot every time I ever speak about this film so I'm going to try and keep it short this time. I have had serious depression on and off since I was a teenager. The mistake that I think a lot of people, and I blame media for this, is that people think that depression is an excess of sadness. While I think sadness is a major part of depression, I personally spotted three metaphors in this movie that captured what depression is even better. A) forgetting joy; you forget how to be happy and can't bring yourself to feel it B) when they're in the pit of forgotten memories and you see these memories of a happy child fading away in addition to the personality islands (I personally think a certain amount of depression is losing the identity that you had) C) when Riley gets that idea and her emotions can't make her feel anything so she goes on autopilot. My personal experience is that depression is being unable to feel anything. You want to feel something, but can't. I also think the concept of an idea stuck in your head that your emotions can't break out of is suicide in a nutshell. Every story I've ever heard from people who survived a suicide attempt is that they instantly regretted it. It's an idea you can't get out of your head and your brain can't break you out of it. I often use this movie as a test for me, because I inevitably cry at this movie whenever I watch it. Both in the moments I mentioned and when sadness finally turns the core memories sad. I find that the more shit I'm dealing with, the more I cry uncontrollably at this movie. It becomes a bit of catharsis and I am suddenly at piece once I've done so. Pixar Nirvana shall we call it. The worse my depression is, the more of a release this movie becomes. But I have to consciously think about it as the cure I need for the time, but it's a cure that I find to be incredibly effective
Whenever I need a good cry, this is the movie I watch. Bing Bong’s death and Rylee’s break down to her parents are too very raw scenes emotionally that always get me.
Riley getting upset in school: “I’m not going to cry” Bing Bong disappears: “I will not cry” Riley comes home and expresses her sadness: “Dammit! I’m crying!”
I think many people hate Joy. She’s the embodiment of toxic positivity and anyone who grew up with the idea that they weren’t allowed to express any negative emotions can resonate with Sadness
I just love the metaphor when Sadness touches the core memories, they could be also the nostalgic moments. And the fact that Joy didn't let Sadness do anything, meant that Riley was bottling up her feelings, and that's why Sadness could save her, after Riley lost her emotions and became depressed.
All the time. Even worse when you’re starting to fall asleep and your brain goes “Ooops you tripped” and you jolt awake thinking you actually tripped over.
"PG" just means Parental Guidance. So this is a movie that can be watched by kids, but by default is advised to be shown to them alongside parents who can guide their children through the stories, because movies like this are meant to open kids to the real world and relatable experiences :)
The "Joy is the antagonist" thing that everyone has is true... BUT that's part of growing up. When you are an infant you don't need complex emotions. When you are happy you are doing fine. When you start getting older you need to understand sadness too or you end up as a sociopath. For the same reason Binbong had to be forgotten for Riley to grow up without imaginary friends sticking around as that's kinda psychotic if it goes on for too long
I do understand that class scene though. Riley was the new kid. Joy and the rest had to stop sadness from making her cry in front of everyone so they wouldn't make fun of her and she can have friends. That's what we human beings do. We suck up our feelings so we don't cry in public. Or that scene where her parents were fighting. Joy made her stop them from doing it because Riley was scared that they were going to get a divorce.
I don't even see joy as the antagonist. Heck, if someone can consider joy the antagonist then they better consider riley's parents the main antagonists because her mom was the one who made joy think she was the most important. But I wouldn't consider anyone the main antagonist because imo there isn't one. In fact, that's one of the things I love about the movie. There isn't really an antagonist and that helps everything the characters go through feel natural
Ahh this one is one of my absolute favorite Pixar movies along with Soul. Without fail, I always tear up/cry when I see Riley sigh with relief after she cries in her parents' arms. It illustrates such a powerful message, and it's so healing. I also cry during a similar seemingly-simple moment in Soul. I think I'm a sucker for loving moments which show life through a realistic/romantic lens. (Romantic as in loving the little/real moments of life rather than person/person romance.)
my first time watching this movie was in a science class when I was still at school, my 14 year old self loved it and went to re-watch it again as soon as I could. It's one of my favourite movies of all time, the message it creates really gets me because I was always expected to be happy and that crying is not for boys so I have not cried for a while until around the time this movie came out. I made me cry at the end, and it still does to this day, though I suppressed it at school when watching it there.
Man that's sad. I don't know how true this is, but I remember watching a tv show where a little girl had an imaginary friend. She was the youngest of her siblings by several years, and her mom died when she was a baby, so she was kinda lonely. Later on, her dad gets a nanny and she's loving and caring, so the nanny accidentally killed the imaginary friend. The girl's therapist said that this was due to the child not needing an imaginary friend anymore because she was basically not lonely anymore. Personally I wouldn't know because my little brother and I are just 1 year and 5 months apart, so we would always keep each other's company and play together all the time.
Every time I watch the “Go take care of Rylie, take her to the moon for me” scene. It’s just rips out my heart and stomps on it. Bing Bong deserved so much better
This movie makes me cry so much everytime I watch it, I have been planning to watch it with my parents. All my childhood my dad was the type to tell you "be happy, you have nothing to be sad about", he never realised how bad that was or how his toxic positivity affected me.....he has changed since then but I really want him to watch this movie and maybe understand a little bit more.
18:19 what everyone ive seen reacting to this movie says as soon as anger said that they should run away 15:53 what welchy says as soon as anger said they should run away
I haven’t watched this movie since probably when it came out in 2014 of Maybe 2017 or something like that, rewatching it with you was really deeper then I remembered, and I love how much message and deepness of emotions are, in my expience, I am a very moody person, I always stumble about with being sad, emotionless and toxic positivity to get through the day.
When I was a teenager (and still a great deal now) whenever I got home from school I would cry for hours - I didn’t talk to anyone, my parents were both at work until late, it was simply crying that got all the pent up emotions out and made room for happiness - sadness is the best way to be happy
Bing Bong was the hero along with sadness. The voice actor saying the last line was tearing up saying "take her to the moon for me" there is a song dedicated to Bing Bong
The memory dumpers weren't just getting rid of stuff she doesn't need. They're getting rid of stuff that was associated with the island that was just destroyed. And for the record, if at any point you've ever said, "I'm not a kid anymore.", that's how you know YOUR goofball island has been destroyed.
I remember that I watched this movie with my little sister in cinema when it came out and I sat next to a little kid and half way through the movie the kid just turns to his mum and says: "Why is this so sad? I wanna go home.". Later on I rewatched it and it made sense to me and it felt relatable but it's not really for kids, it's just too deep. ALSO man I HATE onions too omg it's so good to hear someone say it lmao
If you havent noticed yet, Joy's hair and eyes are blue which points out to the fact that there cant be joy without sadness or that to reach joy you have to be sad and let it out
@iKandy i didn't even copy this i just knew from a fan and just spreading it since i know that some people love to know those details if you have no constructive critic than please ignore this and move on if it doesn't affect you personally also i never "claimed" anything i just wanted to share this cool information i mean that's what movie reactions and commentaries are for and if you don't like this then i guess 12 others liked it maybe they learned smth new bcuzz of me so if you don't like this you could have just ignored it. Good day
@iKandy Just because someone says the same idea, doesn't mean they are copy pasting. What? Multiple people can't talk about things? Once one person says it, that's it? Then I guess f**k theories, can't discuss or talk about them! Better not say anything, someone else might have posted it! 🙄
@@lolvioletcore nope it can’t be cuzz every other enotion has its own color but only joy has blue eyes and hair it was no coincidence. The message behind this is that you cant feel joy without sadness but you can feel sadness without joy.
I'll say it again... I really like the glasses. You should wear them! 🤓 It has been a long time since I have seen this film... and yes, it really is a lot more deep than people initially gave it credit for. Did you know there were originally a lot more than the five core emotions in the early drafts of the script? Besides the five we know, there was also supposed to be: Gloom, Greed, Hope, Envy, Guilt, Love, Irritation, Shame, Embarrassment... plus another 12! The majority of these were cut simply because they overlapped: Despair, Depression, and Gloom would have shared lots of the same territory with Sadness, and it might have proven difficult to suitably differentiate the characteristics of Pride, Greed and Envy. Ultimately, they were happy with the five that they ended up with.
Y'all wanna know something funny My sister and I had just gotten back from the movies with our aunt, and we were talking about our favorite characters (mine was fear, my sister's was disgust) and my mom interjected and said "Aren't the negative emotions the bad guys?" Pretty ironic, isn't it?
just so you know, theres a reason songs get stuck in your head so easily. out of all the parts of the working memory, musical memory is usually the strongest and last to fade. this is why people with dementia can instantly get brought back to their past if a song they listened to plays (look up the ballerina who danced to swan lake, its really interesting). theres lots of people who make up little songs to help remember something, or listen to music to study, and why a lot of commercials have jingles because those get stuck in your head. the downside is when you get something stupid stuck in your head, like a commercial or a joke song, and cant get it out for hours at a time
Hey Welchy, for what it's worth I think you look great in glasses. I felt weird about needing them when I got my first prescription but honestly you get used to them pretty quick if you wear them a lot. They certainly made taking down notes at school a lot easier! Wishing you the confidence to wear them with pride! :)
This movie is one of the best Pixar has ever made, easily. But my favorite thing of all time about watching people _react_ to it is every guy who sees the scene with the boy’s brain yelling “GIRL. GIRL.” and they’re like “yep, accurate” 🤣😂
I love this movie. When i saw this movie for the first time i didnt watch the trailer or anything, didnt know what to expect, and the movie surprised me in a positive way. We love it.
I do very much agree on having a good cry. See, my grandpa died earlier this year, and that just *devastated* my uncle. So at the funeral after the casket was lowered we encouraged him to just, let it all out. Next day, he was feeling much better
I was moving when this movie had come out and when that end scene came on I cried, I loved this movie and it’s honestly my favorite to this day just because I’ve become like emotionally attached to it in a way This movie hits different when your actually going through this stuff-
Am I the only one who has always thought Rylee’s screaming at the beginning (1:43-1:44) sounds exactly like Boo’s screams from monsters inc when she was in Sully and Mike’s apartment
I has something like those stars on the roof, they came from a little light-up ladybug that had shapes cut out so there would appear to be stars and moons wherever the direct light touched, you could also change the colours of them too. I didn't use it often but now I realize how cool that is and how I should've used it more (it's broken now)
Noooooooooooooooo I love Joy. She's just trying her best to keep Riley happy. She definitely grows and gets better. Being someone who suffers from Depression, I relate to both Joy and Sadness. Edit: also, something can be said about the fact that the first thing Riley's parents tell her is that she's a little bundle of joy. There's definitely something to be said about parental expectations and the reinforced idea throughout this movie that Riley is the happy girl and keeps her family happy. That's a lot of pressure to place on a child. And why joy feels the need to control everything. And why we see everything that happens and at the end joy (and Riley's parents) learn that sadness is good and addressing that Riley has other emotions is also good. Edit 2: 10:30 that my dear Welchy is ✨ depression. ✨
And, after they moved to their new house, Riley's mom told her to stay happy. And in the class scene, Joy stopped Sadness from making Riley cry so nobody would make fun of her. I mean, I wouldn't want to do it if I was the brand new kid in class.
I watched this when it first came out and I didn't notice A LOT of important things that I did rewatching it now. Like WHY Sadness was the hero, why would she was doing was helping, a lot of emotions shown in the movie and even that Joy was being too controlling almost and not allowing other emotions to do their job. I never noticed that before I was just like, yeah Joy is perfectly good. Made the ending so much more confusing lol. I like the movie so much more now.
I grew up with this as my favorite pixar movie since I have depression, and this movie helped me understand my emotions more. And I love the way happy memories can be sad, its like nostalgia
Oh boy i was just recommended your videos and now I'm watching them all, inside out is better now that I'm older tbh, it's one of those films you actually need to connect to your emotions and life experiences, I didn't do that when it first came out
In a way this movie is basically about the complete restructuring of Riley's neural pathways to prepare her for pubescence - those initial 5 islands are too simple, if she'd been stuck with them for too long she never would have progressed as a person. The emotional breakdown causing the islands to collapse was a necessary evil as Riley needed room to make new core memories that had more complex layers of emotion so that she could navigate more complex ideas. Out with the old, in with the new. There's a reason sadness and joy started acting out NOW. Riley's hormone levels are EXPLODING. Also crying really does help physically, not only is it a good way to communicate to others that something has gone horribly wrong (in come cases badly enough that language is not an option, plus it predates language itself) but also there is a small chemical in tears that acts as a painkiller, so it physically makes you feel good because it has a mild doping effect on you (in a similar way to your tissues swelling around the bone when you break a limb - it sucks, but it's your body's way of making sure you don't do anything stupid like moving that arm and making it worse, plus acts as a natural but less effective splint).
Dude I haven't seen this movie in years and I forgot how much I stinking LOVE it and wow the amount of this I never fully processed as a kid- This movie is so dang deep and I love it so much
I can't wait for your reaction to Inside Out 2!!! saw it in cinema a few days ago its soooo goooood. LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!!!!!! Glad you're enjoying Helluva Boss!
My god I wasn't even sad in the slightest but when Riley cried my tear things immediately started making tears wtf- That's how good they were at replicating real crying in animation
This movie is INCREDIBLE with color theory. Riley: striped shirt as they're moving with all colors on them to show theyre in harmony, or so it seems. yellow jacket on the first day of school because she's still young enough to be excited. Striped shirt sans blue and yellow at the dinner table because all of her emotions are fighting for control with joy and sadness gone. Black jacket because she's emotionally shutting down. Emotions: joy has blue hair, backing up the theory joy and sadness go hand in hand. Disgust has a purple ascot, suggesting disgust is mainly motivated by what scares us. Anger is wearing a red tie showing how when were angry, we can't see, hear, or feel anything else. Think, "seeing red". And finally Sadness is wearing a white turtleneck as a combination of all the emotions, like how all light is combined to make white light.
oh god, I started crying so much here. Like, I wouldn't expect it, I was watching it when I was a kid and it didn't happen... but like damn, it's deep.
I remember when I was s'd. i felt the way she did- being completely devastated and couldn't find any joy, after faking being fine and happy that whole façade seeped through my face. this movie ask a kid who was going through that made me feel less alone, and I found some peace within myself to do better...
A move is never easy, I moved 22 times in 18 years, it is normal to feel sad, when I was a child forcing myself to be happy was much worse, processing sadness was better.
8:30 I like how it shows them playing soccer (football) in the European version, because in America, it showed them playing hockey, which isn’t really popular in Europe
Yep also got the falling-dream from time to time…and it really sucks to wake up with the feeling like you‘re about to have a heart attack or something. I think there is a theory that this happens when you fall asleep and the heartbeat slows too fast so the brain thinks we are dying and wakes you up again.🤔 Thanks for nothing, you useless body, I was just tying to sleep…

Exactly! My friend was like this. I have depression and she ended our friendship over it.
And it shows how toxic positivity can force you into depression and such.
It's shows how when it gets really bad, some people experience complete emotional shut down. They feel nothing, but anxiety and they constantly snap at people. And then, when nothing is done to fix it, all emotion is completely shut off. And this is VERY realistic.

theres a theory shes adopted bc when shes a newborn, theyre standing over her. mothers after birthing arent strong enough to stand like that in everyday clothes. the mom would be in a hospital gown in a hospital bed holding her. plus riley has blonde hair and blue eyes, but her parents both have brown hair and brown eyes.
I hated Joy too to be fair. I am one with Sadness. I was amazed to realize that Sadness was COMPELLED to touch Rileys old memories because it's what Riley NEEDED to heal and grow up, but she was trying not too to make mom and dad happy which it did not. Toxic positivity is always important to talk about and the movie showed that as well
True showed it very well!
I think if we really look at it, all our happy core memories are tinged with sadness because as we grow up, those moments are gone. We can't get them back, so even if they're happy memories, there's a bitterness to them.

Riley is a disgusting kid
Disgust didn't say shit, nobody did

@@swoen6321 i mean to you it isnt, you didnt have to say anything if you didnt like it tbh
Youre right on with Riley not knowing how to handle her emotions, since she's always relied on the positive and the good memories, and when she couldn't find that, it just kept building up until she cracked.
Parents didn't know how to help either because Riley's core emotion was joy... so when she finally started showing other emotions more fully, they were confused and surprised until Riley was able to voice her problems and talk about it at length.
@@Cardiax Not only that, it seems like they actively pressured her to be happy all the time so they could rely on her to boost everyone else's mood.

She’s still a horrible character but you make a good point
Good matching on the combos! I would have thought that Joy/Sadness in the case was specifically Catharsis.
@@danniw3383 nah
Wouldn’t sadness/anger be just nihilism?
I love how this movie says: sadness is often the key to sympathy and empathy, because without it we can't "feel bad" for others, or let others know that we need their help. If you force yourself to be "happy" all the time, you'll just end up miserable.
That... makes a lot of sense. Joy was a very upbeat character, but she had no empathy for Sadness or for Bingbong. She was more concerned with securing the core memories and getting herself back home than she was with the wellbeing of Sadness _or_ Bingbong... until she cried. When she cried, when she let her own sadness out, only then did she realize what sadness meant. And it was that moment where she finally allowed herself to be sad and have someone else help her that let her grow enough to mourn Bingbong, bring Sadness home, and let her turn every core memory nostalgic.
Welchy being like "crying is so good" and five minutes later "I'm not gonna cry" lmao what now?! but also same
Damn, you so right actually 😂
Came looking for this comment 😂
A therapist and his child started talking about emotions as colours after watching this movie together.
This movie is a great tool of communication between visual learning and complex feelings.
I always thought this film should have ended with a flash forward to the future where Riley became an astronaut and was on the moon. Then she would faintly hear Bing Bong’s song 🥺
AWWWW MY GOD
If that was real, I'd cry. (bc it'd be sad and cute at the same time)
Thanks a lot, my eyes needed an extra lubrication. The Bing Bong fade scene and the family hug scene weren't enough.
you just made me cry and i will never forgive you
Pixar called, they are hiring! They seemed interested in you
I appreciate how the nightmare clown isn't demonic or evil, it's just being a clown, except up to 11.
I thought the clown reminded me of Bing Bong. lol
"There's nothing better than a good cry." THANK YOU! I AGREE 100%! There's something so healing about a good cry.
Even tears have a job, cleaning for the next smile.
Some quote i heard on the internet-
Yes. Yes. Yes! Crying when you need to is so healthy and it gets your emotions out in a healthy way. Keeping them in is always going to end in disaster.
@@lulub517I saw a video of a girl in walmart earlier who had suppressed her emotions for too long and got so upset that she peed all over the store floor.... so basically yeah 😅 don't suppress your problems
It all actually went wrong when Joy tried to stop a core memory just because it was sad. I understand why, but that caused this.
Seeing the depiction of the core memories turning sad at the end and having the understanding that "yes, these memories aren't happy for Riley anymore, and that's okay," followed by her breakdown, and finally Joy & Sadness pushing the button together to bring Riley a feeling of catharsis & comfort... THAT is peak cinema.
Also PS, I think your glasses are great, Welchy. Keep being awesome!
CORE MEMORIES. My dad is a computer and robotics engineer and my earliest memory is playing video games LMAO seriously I couldn't have been more than 2 or 3. And video games have always been a hobby of mine. I especially love Elder Scrolls, COD, and Dark Souls (Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring ). My dad also is big into working out and we've had a home gym for my whole life so whenever my Dad was watching me he would move the baby swing into the gym. And I grew up loving all athletics and sports. Wait a second! Now that I'm thinking about it I wonder if my Dad purposefully programmed my personality like he does with his computers!! He turned me into him!!!! Now I know why we're so alike interests and personality wise
Oh, you're right... I always saw how Joy handing Sadness the memories was her way of getting past her fear of joyful memories turning sad, which is what got them into their mess in the first place.
But you're right, those memories are core to Riley's personality, but are distant from her now and will forever have a sad, nostalgic edge around them. That's why she needed to hold all of them.
What I also loved is when we were looking into the mothers and fathers head, saddness ran the mothers head and anger ran the fathers head. It shows what emotions Rileys parents controlled their personalities.
And even so, the father's mind is still more emotionly stable then Riley's
@@yay29823 because she's a teen? Teens aren't as stable as adults.
@@nadox5259 If you didn't tell me I wouldn't know ;-;
On this day, I watched a grown man ask me to cry on command and I sat here like an idiot actually trying it 😂
😂😂😂
We're you successful?
I don't know if it comes from being a psych major but this movie always makes so much sense to me. Sadness is my driver but I think Anger and Disgust try to suppress it and it comes out as sarcasm and dumb jokes. Maybe I should have gone for the doctorate and I'd understand myself better.
Yh, you're right they talked to a lot of psychologists especially child psychologists to help write the movie and convey these points to children
My five year old daughter has an imaginary friend. She calls it Coconut, and I'm sure she'll forget it someday, but I won't. Coconut is funny as hell and sometimes I wish we could do an exchange program.
Did she ever tell you what it looks like?
@@kittycatmeowmeow963 I never asked. But apparently they mostly phone and text, she doesn’t come over. 🤣
@@RhetoricalThrillthat is the best thing I've heard all day
“All of the friends I had back in my high school days, all gone now.” I can personally relate 💔
Memories, especially of old friends are always a bit sad, even when the experiences were happy
That kind of surprises me. I finished school before social media was a thing (barely, but still), so I lost track of pretty much all my friends after that. But I always assumed that since social media exploded that wasn't as much of a thing. I figured if it had existed then we would have kept up with each other, but maybe it's just a natural progression of growing up.
@@RhetoricalThrill It is. I have lost touch and drifted away from all of my high school friends but the friends of my early 20's have remained surprisingly close. Even after a couple of decades apart most of us found each other again over social media and we now keep in touch. I think it's because we experienced a lot of firsts and coming of age events together that keeps us close after all this time.
Yeah, this is mostly accurate. I’m 20 and I only keep in touch with a handful of my high school friends even tho I’m only a couple years removed. I still have most of them followed on Snapchat and Instagram but we haven’t had an actual conversation in years.
Same here. It's been ten years since I graduated and we drifted apart. After being out of school for me it was incredibly hard to make friends. In fact, all the friends I did make (although a lot went downhill) and the few I still have now i all met online. I'm anti social and awkward so idk if I'll ever make friends around me irl. But hey, i was able to meet my spouse online and after 6 years of a long distance relationship were together now since December 🥰
Disgust is my favorite of the emotions in this movie. She’s adorable, sassy and ironically looks like broccoli (I hate broccoli too)
OMG FINALLY SOMEONE REALISED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOVIE THE MAIN MORAL OF THIS, enjoy to listen your thoughts about sadness being important too
What are you talking about? A lot of people understood it. I understood it.
@@kittycatmeowmeow963 oh right I was watching your reaction on this how could I forget that you got this
This is a hard movie to watch when you've been dealing with depression, because they get it right.
Also with the bus driver, small point, but you don't need to be of legal age to ride one so he wouldn't have a reason to check her ID.
Yes, but where I’m from if you’re going on a coach you NEED some sort of iD
@@Welchy That's really strange for here in America. I'm from Minnesota (y'know, the place Riley's from) and I take the bus every day to get to school. As long as you pay the fee, you're allowed on. They don't ID anyone unless you need it for disability/senior discounts
but you do have to pay obviously
From my experience If it’s a regular city bus (travels only within the area of that city) you don’t need an ID but Riley was specifically getting on a Greyhound bus I think (Travels across cities and state lines) and for that you need to show an ID to purchase a ticket at the booth
There was actually a lot of research behind this movie. It is a very good metaphor for child psychology and the development of people's personality.
Speaking as someone who refused to wear her glasses for a solid year despite desperately needing them because I felt really self-conscious about how I look in them, trust me when I say no one looks anywhere near as bad in glasses as they think they do. It's mostly a matter of getting used to seeing yourself in them when you see your reflection, or in your case, a recording of yourself (also getting used to the sensation of having them resting on the bridge of your nose, and remembering that they're there when you go to scratch any part of your face near your eyes, that takes some getting used to also). Honest opinion, I'd say you look about the same with your glasses on. Personally, I found it a bit easier to accept wearing glasses when I thought about how I could do the anime glasses thing (ya know, where the lenses of the glasses gets completely whited out by light for dramatic effect). No one can feel uncool when doing the anime glasses thing.
I'd say Joy had good intentions but was heavily misguided. While Sadness had the right hunch on how to help Riley heal.
I say a lot every time I ever speak about this film so I'm going to try and keep it short this time. I have had serious depression on and off since I was a teenager. The mistake that I think a lot of people, and I blame media for this, is that people think that depression is an excess of sadness. While I think sadness is a major part of depression, I personally spotted three metaphors in this movie that captured what depression is even better. A) forgetting joy; you forget how to be happy and can't bring yourself to feel it B) when they're in the pit of forgotten memories and you see these memories of a happy child fading away in addition to the personality islands (I personally think a certain amount of depression is losing the identity that you had) C) when Riley gets that idea and her emotions can't make her feel anything so she goes on autopilot. My personal experience is that depression is being unable to feel anything. You want to feel something, but can't. I also think the concept of an idea stuck in your head that your emotions can't break out of is suicide in a nutshell. Every story I've ever heard from people who survived a suicide attempt is that they instantly regretted it. It's an idea you can't get out of your head and your brain can't break you out of it.
I often use this movie as a test for me, because I inevitably cry at this movie whenever I watch it. Both in the moments I mentioned and when sadness finally turns the core memories sad. I find that the more shit I'm dealing with, the more I cry uncontrollably at this movie. It becomes a bit of catharsis and I am suddenly at piece once I've done so. Pixar Nirvana shall we call it. The worse my depression is, the more of a release this movie becomes. But I have to consciously think about it as the cure I need for the time, but it's a cure that I find to be incredibly effective
Whenever I need a good cry, this is the movie I watch. Bing Bong’s death and Rylee’s break down to her parents are too very raw scenes emotionally that always get me.
Riley getting upset in school: “I’m not going to cry”
Bing Bong disappears: “I will not cry”
Riley comes home and expresses her sadness: “Dammit! I’m crying!”
I think many people hate Joy. She’s the embodiment of toxic positivity and anyone who grew up with the idea that they weren’t allowed to express any negative emotions can resonate with Sadness
I just love the metaphor when Sadness touches the core memories, they could be also the nostalgic moments.
And the fact that Joy didn't let Sadness do anything, meant that Riley was bottling up her feelings, and that's why Sadness could save her, after Riley lost her emotions and became depressed.
Dreaming of falling and waking up panicking is so relatable 😭
Day is already ruined when that happens
How about when you wake up after falling, but you never started your dream in the first place?
All the time. Even worse when you’re starting to fall asleep and your brain goes “Ooops you tripped” and you jolt awake thinking you actually tripped over.
@@lulub517 oh yeah, hate that
I love that mother's emotion that sits in the middle is Sadness. Says a lot.
"PG" just means Parental Guidance. So this is a movie that can be watched by kids, but by default is advised to be shown to them alongside parents who can guide their children through the stories, because movies like this are meant to open kids to the real world and relatable experiences :)
14:57 “Wait… something’s happening.”
The satisfaction once you figure it out is just *chef’s kiss* 😭
The "Joy is the antagonist" thing that everyone has is true... BUT that's part of growing up. When you are an infant you don't need complex emotions. When you are happy you are doing fine. When you start getting older you need to understand sadness too or you end up as a sociopath. For the same reason Binbong had to be forgotten for Riley to grow up without imaginary friends sticking around as that's kinda psychotic if it goes on for too long
I do understand that class scene though. Riley was the new kid. Joy and the rest had to stop sadness from making her cry in front of everyone so they wouldn't make fun of her and she can have friends. That's what we human beings do. We suck up our feelings so we don't cry in public. Or that scene where her parents were fighting. Joy made her stop them from doing it because Riley was scared that they were going to get a divorce.
I don't even see joy as the antagonist. Heck, if someone can consider joy the antagonist then they better consider riley's parents the main antagonists because her mom was the one who made joy think she was the most important. But I wouldn't consider anyone the main antagonist because imo there isn't one. In fact, that's one of the things I love about the movie. There isn't really an antagonist and that helps everything the characters go through feel natural
@@xmant8842 Exactly. Joy did it because her mom told her to stay happy.
Antagonist doesn't mean villain by the way
@@0Quiwi0 Glad you pointed this out. A lot of people confuse these terms
Ahh this one is one of my absolute favorite Pixar movies along with Soul. Without fail, I always tear up/cry when I see Riley sigh with relief after she cries in her parents' arms. It illustrates such a powerful message, and it's so healing. I also cry during a similar seemingly-simple moment in Soul. I think I'm a sucker for loving moments which show life through a realistic/romantic lens. (Romantic as in loving the little/real moments of life rather than person/person romance.)
Loved this video as always! 🤩 I think this is one of the deepest children's movies Disney has ever done.
Grateful for your support 😊
Not Disney, Pixar! Disney was never as genius as Pixar!
Welchy: "Nah she's lying, I'm pretty sure she's gonna throw him into the forgetful pits" about bingbong
Me: 👀
my first time watching this movie was in a science class when I was still at school, my 14 year old self loved it and went to re-watch it again as soon as I could. It's one of my favourite movies of all time, the message it creates really gets me because I was always expected to be happy and that crying is not for boys so I have not cried for a while until around the time this movie came out. I made me cry at the end, and it still does to this day, though I suppressed it at school when watching it there.
I had an imaginary friend, until my older brother sat on him and killed him😂 I was 5, I’m now 21 an still pressed about it
Man that's sad. I don't know how true this is, but I remember watching a tv show where a little girl had an imaginary friend. She was the youngest of her siblings by several years, and her mom died when she was a baby, so she was kinda lonely. Later on, her dad gets a nanny and she's loving and caring, so the nanny accidentally killed the imaginary friend. The girl's therapist said that this was due to the child not needing an imaginary friend anymore because she was basically not lonely anymore. Personally I wouldn't know because my little brother and I are just 1 year and 5 months apart, so we would always keep each other's company and play together all the time.
@@user-is7xs1mr9y Same, never had an imaginary friends because I had my sister and mom that was a stay at home.
Every time I watch the “Go take care of Rylie, take her to the moon for me” scene. It’s just rips out my heart and stomps on it. Bing Bong deserved so much better
This movie makes me cry so much everytime I watch it, I have been planning to watch it with my parents. All my childhood my dad was the type to tell you "be happy, you have nothing to be sad about", he never realised how bad that was or how his toxic positivity affected me.....he has changed since then but I really want him to watch this movie and maybe understand a little bit more.
18:19 what everyone ive seen reacting to this movie says as soon as anger said that they should run away
15:53 what welchy says as soon as anger said they should run away
I haven’t watched this movie since probably when it came out in 2014 of Maybe 2017 or something like that, rewatching it with you was really deeper then I remembered, and I love how much message and deepness of emotions are, in my expience, I am a very moody person, I always stumble about with being sad, emotionless and toxic positivity to get through the day.
When I was a teenager (and still a great deal now) whenever I got home from school I would cry for hours - I didn’t talk to anyone, my parents were both at work until late, it was simply crying that got all the pent up emotions out and made room for happiness - sadness is the best way to be happy
I think it's interesting that while Riley's main driving emotion was Joy, her mom's was Sadness and her Dad's was Anger.
Bing Bong was the hero along with sadness. The voice actor saying the last line was tearing up saying "take her to the moon for me" there is a song dedicated to Bing Bong
It was such a good movie...
Even after years just the first notes of "We Can Still Stop Her" are instant tear material...
The memory dumpers weren't just getting rid of stuff she doesn't need. They're getting rid of stuff that was associated with the island that was just destroyed.
And for the record, if at any point you've ever said, "I'm not a kid anymore.", that's how you know YOUR goofball island has been destroyed.
I remember that I watched this movie with my little sister in cinema when it came out and I sat next to a little kid and half way through the movie the kid just turns to his mum and says: "Why is this so sad? I wanna go home.". Later on I rewatched it and it made sense to me and it felt relatable but it's not really for kids, it's just too deep.
ALSO man I HATE onions too omg it's so good to hear someone say it lmao
I CAN'T BREATHE DURING THE PART WHEN THE ANNOUNCEMENT SAID NICE SHOT. In a part of a sad bit.
As soon as Joy gently gave Sadness the memories, my eyes started to water… and then you said “Plot-tits” and now I’m crying with laughter
If you havent noticed yet, Joy's hair and eyes are blue which points out to the fact that there cant be joy without sadness or that to reach joy you have to be sad and let it out
@iKandy i didn't even copy this i just knew from a fan and just spreading it since i know that some people love to know those details if you have no constructive critic than please ignore this and move on if it doesn't affect you personally also i never "claimed" anything i just wanted to share this cool information i mean that's what movie reactions and commentaries are for and if you don't like this then i guess 12 others liked it maybe they learned smth new bcuzz of me so if you don't like this you could have just ignored it. Good day
@iKandy Just because someone says the same idea, doesn't mean they are copy pasting. What? Multiple people can't talk about things? Once one person says it, that's it? Then I guess f**k theories, can't discuss or talk about them! Better not say anything, someone else might have posted it! 🙄
@iKandy normalise you shutting up 😐
Or maybe it was just a color choice
@@lolvioletcore nope it can’t be cuzz every other enotion has its own color but only joy has blue eyes and hair it was no coincidence. The message behind this is that you cant feel joy without sadness but you can feel sadness without joy.
Me: Crying as Riley expresses her sadness
*NICE SHOT*
😭😳😂😂😂😂
I'll say it again... I really like the glasses. You should wear them! 🤓
It has been a long time since I have seen this film... and yes, it really is a lot more deep than people initially gave it credit for. Did you know there were originally a lot more than the five core emotions in the early drafts of the script? Besides the five we know, there was also supposed to be: Gloom, Greed, Hope, Envy, Guilt, Love, Irritation, Shame, Embarrassment... plus another 12! The majority of these were cut simply because they overlapped: Despair, Depression, and Gloom would have shared lots of the same territory with Sadness, and it might have proven difficult to suitably differentiate the characteristics of Pride, Greed and Envy. Ultimately, they were happy with the five that they ended up with.
Y'all wanna know something funny
My sister and I had just gotten back from the movies with our aunt, and we were talking about our favorite characters (mine was fear, my sister's was disgust) and my mom interjected and said "Aren't the negative emotions the bad guys?" Pretty ironic, isn't it?
just so you know, theres a reason songs get stuck in your head so easily. out of all the parts of the working memory, musical memory is usually the strongest and last to fade. this is why people with dementia can instantly get brought back to their past if a song they listened to plays (look up the ballerina who danced to swan lake, its really interesting). theres lots of people who make up little songs to help remember something, or listen to music to study, and why a lot of commercials have jingles because those get stuck in your head. the downside is when you get something stupid stuck in your head, like a commercial or a joke song, and cant get it out for hours at a time
Hey Welchy, for what it's worth I think you look great in glasses. I felt weird about needing them when I got my first prescription but honestly you get used to them pretty quick if you wear them a lot. They certainly made taking down notes at school a lot easier! Wishing you the confidence to wear them with pride! :)
This movie is one of the best Pixar has ever made, easily. But my favorite thing of all time about watching people _react_ to it is every guy who sees the scene with the boy’s brain yelling “GIRL. GIRL.” and they’re like “yep, accurate” 🤣😂
Your reactions are honest so enjoyable
Thank you so much!
This movie is a great example of why the "iT's JuSt A kIdS mOvIe" excuse is just plain out wrong.
I love this movie. When i saw this movie for the first time i didnt watch the trailer or anything, didnt know what to expect, and the movie surprised me in a positive way. We love it.
I feel like someone keeps throwing all my memories into the void because I can’t remember anything from my childhood 😂
Lol same
I do very much agree on having a good cry. See, my grandpa died earlier this year, and that just *devastated* my uncle. So at the funeral after the casket was lowered we encouraged him to just, let it all out. Next day, he was feeling much better
I was moving when this movie had come out and when that end scene came on I cried, I loved this movie and it’s honestly my favorite to this day just because I’ve become like emotionally attached to it in a way
This movie hits different when your actually going through this stuff-
Am I the only one who has always thought Rylee’s screaming at the beginning (1:43-1:44) sounds exactly like Boo’s screams from monsters inc when she was in Sully and Mike’s apartment
''That's a bit sad... and a bit weird... I like it." i'm crying 😂
I can die happy now 😂
I has something like those stars on the roof, they came from a little light-up ladybug that had shapes cut out so there would appear to be stars and moons wherever the direct light touched, you could also change the colours of them too. I didn't use it often but now I realize how cool that is and how I should've used it more (it's broken now)
Oooh! The lamp cut-out thing! Those are soo cool.
it would be so great to have a part 2 ,when new emotions get explored as she grows up
Noooooooooooooooo I love Joy. She's just trying her best to keep Riley happy. She definitely grows and gets better. Being someone who suffers from Depression, I relate to both Joy and Sadness.
Edit: also, something can be said about the fact that the first thing Riley's parents tell her is that she's a little bundle of joy. There's definitely something to be said about parental expectations and the reinforced idea throughout this movie that Riley is the happy girl and keeps her family happy. That's a lot of pressure to place on a child. And why joy feels the need to control everything. And why we see everything that happens and at the end joy (and Riley's parents) learn that sadness is good and addressing that Riley has other emotions is also good.
Edit 2: 10:30 that my dear Welchy is ✨ depression. ✨
And, after they moved to their new house, Riley's mom told her to stay happy. And in the class scene, Joy stopped Sadness from making Riley cry so nobody would make fun of her. I mean, I wouldn't want to do it if I was the brand new kid in class.
@@kittycatmeowmeow963 the movie is Not supposed to be based on puberty. That button literally doesn't get added until the very end. LMFAO
And I can relate to Joy
@@Orion_TheyThemThe movie based on growing up, even if it isn't puberty, people grow up every second not just in puberty
Toxic positivity
You're adorable, Welchy. Never change.
I watched this when it first came out and I didn't notice A LOT of important things that I did rewatching it now. Like WHY Sadness was the hero, why would she was doing was helping, a lot of emotions shown in the movie and even that Joy was being too controlling almost and not allowing other emotions to do their job. I never noticed that before I was just like, yeah Joy is perfectly good. Made the ending so much more confusing lol. I like the movie so much more now.
I grew up with this as my favorite pixar movie since I have depression, and this movie helped me understand my emotions more. And I love the way happy memories can be sad, its like nostalgia
Oh boy i was just recommended your videos and now I'm watching them all, inside out is better now that I'm older tbh, it's one of those films you actually need to connect to your emotions and life experiences, I didn't do that when it first came out
In a way this movie is basically about the complete restructuring of Riley's neural pathways to prepare her for pubescence - those initial 5 islands are too simple, if she'd been stuck with them for too long she never would have progressed as a person. The emotional breakdown causing the islands to collapse was a necessary evil as Riley needed room to make new core memories that had more complex layers of emotion so that she could navigate more complex ideas. Out with the old, in with the new. There's a reason sadness and joy started acting out NOW. Riley's hormone levels are EXPLODING.
Also crying really does help physically, not only is it a good way to communicate to others that something has gone horribly wrong (in come cases badly enough that language is not an option, plus it predates language itself) but also there is a small chemical in tears that acts as a painkiller, so it physically makes you feel good because it has a mild doping effect on you (in a similar way to your tissues swelling around the bone when you break a limb - it sucks, but it's your body's way of making sure you don't do anything stupid like moving that arm and making it worse, plus acts as a natural but less effective splint).
Dude I haven't seen this movie in years and I forgot how much I stinking LOVE it and wow the amount of this I never fully processed as a kid- This movie is so dang deep and I love it so much
I just found your youtube today and your becoming one of my fave youtubers, thanks for keeping me happy while I'm sick :)
I can't wait for your reaction to Inside Out 2!!! saw it in cinema a few days ago its soooo goooood.
LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!!!!!! Glad you're enjoying Helluva Boss!
It's so good that you cry every time you see this movie because it's so real and relatable.
I love this movie. This is one of my favourites of Disney.
I watched it with my family and I sent the whole movie ready to throw hands and that didn't change at the end
My god I wasn't even sad in the slightest but when Riley cried my tear things immediately started making tears wtf- That's how good they were at replicating real crying in animation
at 5:53 when he is talking about dreams and falling, i have those, and ones where i feel like someone grabs my back while i see the hand in my dream
Holy nonsense, I never noticed Remy. How could I have missed him? This is a top 5 animated film for me.
This movie is INCREDIBLE with color theory.
Riley: striped shirt as they're moving with all colors on them to show theyre in harmony, or so it seems. yellow jacket on the first day of school because she's still young enough to be excited. Striped shirt sans blue and yellow at the dinner table because all of her emotions are fighting for control with joy and sadness gone. Black jacket because she's emotionally shutting down.
Emotions: joy has blue hair, backing up the theory joy and sadness go hand in hand. Disgust has a purple ascot, suggesting disgust is mainly motivated by what scares us. Anger is wearing a red tie showing how when were angry, we can't see, hear, or feel anything else. Think, "seeing red". And finally Sadness is wearing a white turtleneck as a combination of all the emotions, like how all light is combined to make white light.
0:14 - that did my OCD soooooo much good
edit: the glasses look good on you, but you have to change the lighting
I gotchu 😂
oh god, I started crying so much here. Like, I wouldn't expect it, I was watching it when I was a kid and it didn't happen... but like damn, it's deep.
Let’s be honest: Disgust has got to be one of the best characters in the movie
I remember when I was s'd. i felt the way she did- being completely devastated and couldn't find any joy, after faking being fine and happy that whole façade seeped through my face. this movie ask a kid who was going through that made me feel less alone, and I found some peace within myself to do better...
THANK YOU FOR STRAIGHTENING IT! Been driving me crazy since ATLA 🤣
A move is never easy, I moved 22 times in 18 years, it is normal to feel sad, when I was a child forcing myself to be happy was much worse, processing sadness was better.
I find it interesting that the Mom has sadness as the leading emotion, while for the dad it is anger who is the leader
8:30 I like how it shows them playing soccer (football) in the European version, because in America, it showed them playing hockey, which isn’t really popular in Europe
Yep also got the falling-dream from time to time…and it really sucks to wake up with the feeling like you‘re about to have a heart attack or something. I think there is a theory that this happens when you fall asleep and the heartbeat slows too fast so the brain thinks we are dying and wakes you up again.🤔
Thanks for nothing, you useless body, I was just tying to sleep…
Inside out is one of the movies that made me emotional 😭

The moment she has that little smile on her face when she cries and hugs her paretns, it just always get me😢
