I was glad to be in a nearly empty cinema screen save for a row of kids 2 rows down because I sprung a full Niagara Falls level waterworks watching this 😭 Pixar can tug those heart strings so expertly for both children and adults while keeping it entertaining.
@@MikeMozzaro Real levels of sad are your simple efforts simply failing. Overly sad in my mind is that happening right after your dog dies and it's your birthday. One situation feels grounded and reasonable while the other feels forced. Not that really bad series of events don't happen it's just that they don't happen constantly for most people.
@@jenmurrayxo I would recommend doing a reaction to the Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002) if you haven’t seen it already. It is an instant favorite if you like animals like rhinos and elephants, and it shows how these animals need to be protected from poachers. Have you seen it before?
24:32 "Sometimes, you have to be sad." And that's the lesson Joy just figured out. Being in charge is _not_ about keeping Riley happy. It's about keeping her emotionally healthy. And that means giving _each_ of her emotions a turn, now and then. That's why each emotion is there.
This movie tears me up. I have an almost 10 year old daughter and watching her personality and emotions mature and change is like the saddest thing a parent can witness, so watching Riley lose all her fun young memories is truly heartbreaking.
It gives me a far better understanding of what my parents went through, when I developed a chronic depression in my teens (about 15 years ago). Back then I was so focused on my own issues, that I rarely considered how hard it must've been for them to watch me go through something like that - even now, it's still a struggle for me to find joy (pun intended), but when I do, I make a point to let my family know, so they can see my ups as well as my downs.
This is my favorite Pixar movie! It was such a creative idea to teach kids (well, all of us) about our psychology through an animated movie. I loved that you got it from the start! You basically voiced exactly my feels when I first watched it. I tear up every time I hear Bing Bong say “Take her to the moon!”, and when Joy and Sadness work together at the end.
It starts the first night in sf, when her mother asks Riley to help the family by being a “happy girl”. She represses her natural sadness at moving, causing a depression that ultimately makes her “numb out”. I love how near the end the whole control board goes dark, meaning she can’t experience any emotions. That’s exactly what depression feels like
Yes it was such an accurate take on depression, I was so impressed. Really spoke to me as an adult but I can imagine it would be very helpful for kids too.
But Joy was such a control freak at that point that she was probably too paranoid to let the core memories out of her sight. She didn't want to let them go and risk anything happening to them.
When I was really really young I had a few stuffed animals that I treated like friends, one in particular was a puppet of a floppy eared dog that I named Little Pup. I remember him like the back of my hand, but I don't remember what happened to him. My family moved a lot and rarely was there any feeling of permanence, but I brought Little Pup everywhere😀
... and toxic positivity is real and dangerous. If you only acknowledge the positive, then you are ignoring 4/5 of your experience (using Inside Out math).
This movie is so clever and your reaction was beautiful jen i could almost feel the vulnerability through your expectations, growing up is hard , i still remember my first day of school i didnt want to go and hid behind the sofa of which i took hold of and had to be pulled off literally with tears streaming down my face , i ofcourse eventually arrived at school and ot wasnt so bad you know but its traumatic as a kid . This really was great youre ao natural and letting your eyes leak is a true sign of the wonderful tender heart you possess 🫂
4:24 "Eat me! I'm _organic!"_ Now I'm part of this minority that doesn't really have a problem with broccoli, but it's _not_ a pizza topping. There are things you _just_ don't put on pizza. Heat it up in a bowl and eat it with a fork. Maybe melt some cheese over it. Maybe even put ketchup on it. But it's _not_ a pizza topping.
Wonderful rewatching this again Jen a really emotional one , seeing you cry hard is tough to watch bless you 🫂 you've grown so much as has your channel and also the length of your awesome ponytail 🔥 . I just love revisiting your videos Jen every single one is a belter 🙌 hoping we get a reaction to the second movie down the line that would be fantastic
7:54 This scene, I think, provides a _couple_ interesting pieces of insight. The one that everyone picks up on is that these five core emotions within Riley's mom are all female, within her dad are all male, but within Riley, they're mixed, and that's probably due to her youth. They will change as she comes of age. But the one that I've picked up on is which ones are in charge. Within Riley, Joy was her first emotion, and so Joy is in charge. But within her mother, _Sadness_ is in charge. Does that mean _Sadness_ was the first emotion she experienced? Within her father, _Anger_ is in charge. Does that mean _Anger_ is the first emotion he experienced?
I think it's meant to show how much more nuanced your emotions become in adulthood. Mom probably has Sadness in charge because she's a very empathic person, and Dad probably has Anger in charge because he's driven by passion and ambition. If there's one thing this movie taught us, it's that seemingly negative emotions can do positive things for us after all.
17:32 "Yeah. That is a confusing dream." Dreams can be _very_ confusing, though. Often, you wake up, think back on dreams you had and think, "Wow. That was weird."
I love how sadness gets this compulsive urge to touch memories and make them sad and make Riley feel sadness. It's how we deal with new environments, a way to show vulnerability, in a way Riley is mourning her old life and Sadness responds to that by touching the memories, tinting them blue in nostalgia but also forcing them to stay blue until Riley can mature enough to see them as happy childhood memories again rather than everything she lost. Joy trying to force Sadness to stay away and hidden only makes it worse and makes Sadness act impulsively even more
Something to bear in mind. Joy's hair and eyes were always blue while all the other emotions except for Sadness had different color eyes/hair that fit their skin color. I'm not sure if this was meant to be foreshadowing the 2 sided coin of Joy/Sadness but its a weird coincidence if not!
This is one of the smartest real time rundowns of this movie. I was very impressed with how you caught the nuance of this movie it took me two or three watches to really see how well this movie was written.
hey Jen, I just wanna say thank you..... lost my feels more than I knew again..... let the darkness settle in and get comfortable in me again.... seems to get so much easier to do with age.... but harder too yanno anyway.... long story short..... was darker than I knew, found some light in you, thought you might wanna know..... thank you. I really needed a reminder there's people so lovely feeling such wonderful feelings again and your face during that Bing Bong scene is a core memory in me now.
Hey Juan, thank you so much for sharing this with me! This is exactly why I think these reactions can be so powerful and help people to connect with each other through experiencing deep emotions 😊 I really loved reading your comment. Thank you 💙
Listen girl, I know how it feels to cry❤❤❤ I cry too when somebody yells at me❤❤❤ god bless u no matter what:) and your loved ones love you no matter what;)
Great reaction Jen! Bing Bong is my Spirit Animal! Good bye my imaginary friend!😢 Getting old sucks! Having a hard time getting my rocket rainbow wagon to take me anywhere. Thank God for your channel! Luv ya Jen ❤️💛
Was really tempted to copy and paste my comment from John Wick to play off this movies "deja vu" joke... :) Another great reaction. This movie really got me the first time I saw it. Still does. Glad you liked it.
One movie I highly recommend you watch that has become my favorite 2022 movie is "Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile" if you like musical movies with family and a positive message then you'll love this one 😁🙏🏻🎶🐊
I love how Riley's dad's emotions were all men and Riley's mom's emotions were all women but Riley's emotion's gender are mixed.. It can mean two things Either Riley is questioning..And once she figures out her gender...Her emotions will become the gender she is sure of or it means she is not one of the two genders also Riley's emotions are childish and immature(which is why at first sadness may have come off as irritating but she was just curious..Also that is indeed what we feels sometimes) unlike her parents whose emotions are very controlled and stuff.. Cause these emotions are children as well.. the emotions are as old as they are
As cool as the trans angle would be, I just don't think Disney is cool enough for that :/ Only about as cool as every other company, toting the LGBTQ flag during October, but not cool to do it even one day over.
hey Jen..... I just heard there's a new sequel for this movie being made..... I'm already looking forward to your reaction..... hope you're having a great weekend.
I just found your channel and this video is great! As for recommendations, I'd come back for pretty much any Disney and/or Pixar movie. Also, since it's December, maybe do some Christmas movies? Just a thought! I've subscribed, so I'll see whatever you do (though I likely will only watch reactions to movies I have seen as well). Be seeing you! :)
@@jenmurrayxo honestly, my favorite Disney/Pixar movie is whichever one I happen to be watching at any given time lol I'm like the Empress of Indecisiveness, I can't pick favorites of almost anything. I know that's not really helpful since you are trying to cater to what your audience wants to see, but like I said, pretty much anything Disney/Pixar and I'll be here for it! :)
May I suggest watching "Spaceballs"? You've _already_ seemingly watched just about _all_ the prerequisite material (except the Wizard of Oz, and possibly a Star Trek movie/episode of some sort), and it's funny.
The little one with the blue hair and green dress kind of reminded me of Marge Simpson. You're right they were amazing. Maybe sometime you could do a reaction video of the antimated 1967 Jungle Book?
i highly recommend The Green Mile with Tom Hanks, god that movie makes me ugly cry so much... such a great, sad, heartbreaking but very interesting movie to check out. also, i recently just finished A Monster Calls, really worth checking out, also it's a pretty sad movie but worth checking out as well!
20:41 At some point, when you have to chance to emotionally cool down, this scene can look kind of odd. I mean, why is _Joy_ experiencing... _Sadness?_ Does this mean that Sadness can experience _Joy?_ Does this mean that it's not just _Riley_ with these five basic emotions in her head, but each of those emotions, as _well?_
They don't really explore it too much, but it struck me as worrying in a way that like Joy is mostly in charge in Reilly's head, for the father it's Anger and for the mother it's Sadness.
They made a movie about depression that isn't patronizing or overly sad.
I cried a lot the first time I watched it.
@tyler fun Yes this movie surprised me with its maturity on depression
I was glad to be in a nearly empty cinema screen save for a row of kids 2 rows down because I sprung a full Niagara Falls level waterworks watching this 😭
Pixar can tug those heart strings so expertly for both children and adults while keeping it entertaining.
Honest question: Patronising I get, but what do you mean by an "overly sad" film about depression? Just one that isn't positive or hopeful?

Have you seen it before?
No one gets past "take her to the moon for me" without tearing up
Everybody is gangsta until Bing Bong drop that. lol
Even his actor didn’t delivered the line without tearing up.
I didn’t have any emotions
I kind of didn't :/ but then, pretty much everything else did so.. eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(never had a imagination friend so.. that might be why..)
Bing bong didn’t die he was forgotten, it hurts three times more when you realize how much you have until it’s gone. Rip bing bong

"Take her to the moon for me." gets me every fucking time
The scene Bing Bong left in the pit.... it broke my heart! I was crying like a baby! Yes its just an animation but .......
This is my favorite Pixar movie! It was such a creative idea to teach kids (well, all of us) about our psychology through an animated movie. I loved that you got it from the start! You basically voiced exactly my feels when I first watched it. I tear up every time I hear Bing Bong say “Take her to the moon!”, and when Joy and Sadness work together at the end.

I just realized that Joy could have sent the core memories to headquarters just like the gum commercial was sent there. Wow.
But Joy was such a control freak at that point that she was probably too paranoid to let the core memories out of her sight. She didn't want to let them go and risk anything happening to them.

Love this movie so much. They actually hired a psychologist to consult on this movie to get actual professional input on human emotions.
Ohh I love that & makes sense that such a complex topic is covered so well 👌
I'm now in my 60s. I'm more like in UP. So many are gone. I just keep myself busy until my movie is over.
I love when the broccoli 🥦 pizza is presented and disgust goes “I’m done” lmao 🤣
Like she can’t even deal anymore that they destroyed pizza lmao
Lollll 🤣🤣 Such a funny & sweet movie
@@jenmurrayxo yes! Lol
I thought that I'd give this one a rewatch for you, Jen. We moved three times when I was young, Jen, it wasn't easy.
negative emotions aren't a thing. they are just emotions. everyone of them has its purpose and place in ones life.

When I was 11 my family oved, so I related strongly to riley.

@ Tobiah Vega Lollll 😆 Thanks for watching! I'm sure Bing Bong will get me every time 💔
I'd like to suggest, Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle By Studio Ghibli
I'd like to see those but studio ghibli is notorious for giving channels copyright strikes unfortunately 😕
Subscribed! I don’t know if you’ve already seen this movie, but Coco is amazing
"Take her to the moon for me. Okay?"
Thank you for reaction to this awesome movie!

One of best Disney Pixar movie
You held it together at Bing Bong at least 400 million times better than I did the first time… or the second… or twentieth…
