Please tell me I wasn't the only one who cried when Bing Bong... 😭🩷 what is wrong with you Pixar!??? HOW DARE YOU!! Full reaction here: www.patreon.com/user?u=23309427
Don't forget to watch the new trailer, unless you wanna be surprised when the new movie comes out idk when it's coming out it might be this year or 2025.😊 Also... NOT MY DUDE BING BONG!!!😭😭😭💔💔 (Please ignore name I thought it was funny, and it still is lol)
meanwhile just the premise of the sequels is infuriating to me as someone with a degree in psychology because anxiety, envy, embarrassment, these things aren't independent unique emotions. they are MORE COMPLEX EXTENSIONS of the 5 core emotions already established. it should be obvious how anxiety is just an extension of fear, but embarrassment? that's fear and sadness. envy? sort of a self-directed disgust. ennui? literally just low-level sadness, or the absence of emotion altogether. and neither of the parents have any of these individuated emotions in their heads. of all the ways they could have gone with a sequel, "new" emotions was the wrong way to go.
@@dietotaku I really hope to avoid plot holes they make the side emotions fuse with the original ones as the parents dont have them either. Like making them a puberty thing.
@@PieeMone of the trailers actually shows anxiety in the dad’s brain for a moment so apparently they are in the adults heads in the sequel too. Maybe they’re just more in the back and don’t appear as often or something
For the sequel they just needed to do something like Turning Red but in adolescence and without any more changes. And they decided to put more "emotions", probably ruining the stability of the plot.
I know that's probably most peoples first instinct, but it always pisses me off when people think sadness is messing up in the beginning. Joy is the one messing it up by trying to suppress the other emotions, Sadness is just doing her job!
Yeah, like she is basically restricted from doing the one thing she exists to do! But I think it also goes to show that sadness is a misunderstood & unappreciated emotion.
Ikr, it always frustrates me, cuz it feels obvious due to how she's clearly trying to control everything. Plus, I thought the concept of them being emotions and how sadness works in humans was something we were meant to learn a long time ago...
I think like what Niall said, the reason people are pissed is because it's so true to real life how sadness messes us up and takes over our emotions while the joy in us tries to make everything OK but can't always. Like we're saying "ARGH! I hate how true this is!"
@@Zazabazaa If you're blessed with a really happy childhood, you don't necessarily need to learn about sadness until later. I made it to ten being an oblivious happy little kid, then had an event that basically made me shut down for about a year (didn't laugh, didn't cry, apparently I wouldn't let my mom hug me though I don't remember that). So yeah, this movie makes perfect sense to me and always makes me sob lol.
I loved watching him transition from "Sadness is F*cking us up" to "you're allowed to feel sad, you're meant to get your emotions out" and fun fact - this movie specifically started a boom in the therapy room, especially with children. It gave therapists a strong identifiable and visual reference point to help kids, adolescents, and adults explore, identify, and explain not only their own emotions, but their emotional relationships with others.
One thing I noticed and really like about Riley's dad is that after arguing when he went up to see Riley and tried to cheer her up, when he noticed that Riley was still upset and not in any mood to play along, he immediately gave her space and left her alone. My family would literally pester me until I pretended to be happy so they'd just leave me alone. So seeing a parent be respectful and patient like that is such a good representation of good parenting tbh.
My parents would tell me to “stop sulking or I’ll give you something to sulk about”, essentially forcing me to dismiss and repress my emotions and pretend everything was alright in order to avoid further punishment. And they wonder why our relationship has soured over the years. 🙄
@@lukaajlovanovich1606 Mmm yes. Repressing your emotions and not addressing the issues head on are great ways to deal with "the real world". 🙄 People like you and my parents are reasons why kids grow up a mess and have heaps of mental health issues.
@@warriorbard The one I've heard (not from my parents but from other parents to their kids) is "Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about" and something to cry about was usually a beating😬
oh my god yes, my husband seems to see it as a personal challenge to take a bad mood and turn it up to 11 by relentlessly teasing and horsing around instead of just respecting the other person's feelings and giving them space.
why? im interested. i never showed any diffierent emotions when i was young cuz of societal pressure and position. i now am struggling a lot to make any relationshionips. any advice?
@@lukaajlovanovich1606from what my therapist guided me to understand, all the emotions kind of communicate with what we want or need in response to things we experience. Anger can be we feel wronged in some way; sadness can tell someone they need to reach out for support; disgust can keep us away from things that may not be any good for us; anxiety can protect us from different forms of harm. So on and so forth. For me, I also struggle with relationships as well but I feel. But the people we interact with and the traumas we might endure can distort how we interact with our own emotions. This film might help some to understand that our emotions are natural and must be able to do what they do. But I'm also not a therapist so I'm referencing my own insight, experiences, perspective, and things gathered from therapy and life itself 🙃
@@lukaajlovanovich1606I’m not a therapist myself, but I struggled with a very similar problem for a very, very long time. The way I got out of emotional disconnection was strangely enough just practice. Sort of like learning to be a human? Generally through the media I consumed. Figuring out the expected reactions from me out of certain things and deploying them like deliberate actions. Soon enough, they became more like full emotions and came out naturally, though more by instinct than true emotion. Still, it’s far better than nothing, and makes me feel pretty happy on occasions when the way I act makes someone else truly happy or when it elicits laughter. Again, I’m not a therapist, so for all I know this is terrible advice, but that’s my experience. As for relationships, your best bet is to tell people about your problem. Maybe casually, maybe in a serious manner with time set aside. Hopefully, if they’re good people and you’re tolerant of occasional mistakes (nobody’s perfect, even after you tell them they can have slip ups), a connection should form from mutual understanding of the situation. They can maybe even help you out. But if you’ve got the money or insurance, I do recommend therapy.
This movie quite literally saved my life as a kid. I literally went through exactly what Riley went through in this movie. I was born in New York and moved to Texas away from all my family and friends when I was 8. And this movie actually came out when I was 11. I was not accpeted by my peers and bullied very badly. Seeing this movie when I did made me sob uncontrollably. I remember my parents and I hugging each other in the theater as we all sobbed. That moment alone saved my life. I cannot thank this movie enough for just existing. Bonus: this movie also changed my girlfriend's life, too, it's what made her interested in psychology and made her persue being a therapist.
So glad to hear that it helped. I personally don't know what it's like to move state, because I've lived in (funny enough) Texas my whole life. That, as well as being homeschooled, I can't imagine what it would have been like for you. I hope you're in a much better place now.
I love how we see the emotions and their place with the parents. You see sadness as the center and all of them sitting in a table together since the mom is now mature and had over come depression. Meanwhile you see the dad the same with the table and emotions together but anger is at the center meaning he had anger issues during his life . Riley on the other hand has the emotions all scattered around and more free showing how she’s still a kid and is still learning to be more mature.
this is still my favorite movie. sadness kept touching the memories even though she knew she "shouldn't" bc it was what Riley was actually feeling. joy kept masking over sadness even though Riley was actually upset about moving. the movie has a really good way of depicting emotional conflict and suppression, eventually it just overflows into fits of anger until you go emotionally numb. the mom's sadness is like the one in charge because it has evolved into a more complex emotion; empathy. it doesn't just tone it down to "you need sadness to feel happiness" but shows that sadness is just one of our many emotions and we need to feel to validate it just as much as our other emotions
I really used to bottle up my emotions as a kid cuz I thought I had to be a happy kid for everyone. But once I reached a certain age, I couldnt handle it anymore and hit severe depression. Kids should br taught about importance of all emotions 🤕🤕
i also used to bottle up all my emotions, but instead of hitting depression later, i just got angry. i would lash out at everyone and then sink into a depression because i hated how angry i was, and that just made me angrier.
I bottled up my emotions because I was verbally abused as a kid. When my dad would yell at me, i had to stand there and take it without crying because, if we spoke up in protest we got it worse. So, I would clam up. I still struggle with expressing my emotions.
Don't worry Niall, I promise we all cry at bing bong's part. "Take her to the moon for me." will always make me cry! it is also a very popular meme for the same reason
fist time I saw this, I knew he was going to jump off as soon as he suggested a third try. And my heart broke when he closed his eyes and pushed himself off
Interestingly that was NOT the part that strongly triggered tears from me, but that was probably because there was a PRIOR scene which HAD SO so strongly triggered tears from me (and I had gone to great efforts to suppress them because it's not typical at all for me to cry, AND my roommates were there :P). BUT suppressing those tears came with a price: It was PAINFUL for me to suppress those tears... SO painful that I immediately thought to myself "WOW if I could rewind time, I would NOT have tried to hold that in!!! I don't CARE even if my roommates are here!" So... I am thinking ... that particular event had emotionally exhausted me, so that nothing was going to happen by the time it came for Bing Bong lol. Or that ending too which is another huge trigger for most people. If you are curious, THE scene that "emotionally sneak-attacked me" was when Joy was stuck in the pit and she said the line of "Do you remember when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?" I think that "got me" very strongly for certain reasons such as knowing people who I was close to who I was unsure if they would ever be happy again, so it hit me super strongly.
Sooo many things about this film are genius but one small detail that I think gets overlooked is when Riley gets up for that first day of school and Joy tells Sadness to stay within the circle she draws on the floor, saying it is her job to keep all the sadness inside the circle. That was literally Riley making the decision to put on a brave face, be optimistic and ignore the fact she is actually feeling sad that day. Something we all do way too much. And a lot of people think sadness is annoying because she constantly touches things and doesn't listen but the point is that no one can control feeling sad, it's not a choice, it can't be helped. And as the film shows, more damage is done by ignoring it and trying to force happiness rather than just allowing yourself to feel sad and move passed it.
Annál a résznél kezdtem el nagyon nem szeretni Joy-t. Még ha nem jött át számomra ennyire a jelenet jelentősége, nem szeretem amikor félresöpörnek valakit, (ahogy Joy tette Sadnessel ) ráadásul ilyen látványos módon. Ez is bántalmazás ha valakit ennyire semmibe vesznek, érzeteik vele hogy ő semmit sem ér.
I love how it represents emotional repression. Even though it’s dark you NEED to experience sadness and other feelings to grow and develop well. This just shows that you shouldn’t hide your emotions or cover them up or you would keep messing up or stay stuck in the same place lost.
society makes it hard and difficult and the constant judgment in real life and real world. so no, sometimes its not youre fault youre not shwoing emotions at all
The ending where she’s talking to her parents ALWAYS makes me cry, doesn’t matter when I watch it or if I’ve been watching the movie before hand or not. It hits too hard, being relied on by your parents for emotional stability and not being up to par. Pixar hits and it hits hard
Yeees! The bing bong part didn't get me, but the ending where she's apologizing for not being able to be happy, even though her parents 'need' her to be - OOF. Pain.
This movie has done a HUGE service to mental health practices, because it provides such a clear and insightful way to think about emotions and talk about emotions - and it recognizes how each emotion has a valuable role to play in keeping us healthy and functional. Lovely reaction! :)
People rarely notice this but Joy has the colors of every emotion, her skin (fur i guess) is yellow with a tint of red, her lips are red, her dress is green, and her eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, hair and aura are all blue; Joy can't exist by herself, she's made up of every emotion, she needs them to be full.
Sadness is one of the most important emotions we have - without her, we wouldn't have empathy! I love how the film shows her skills. Joy is just one colour in the palette and life wouldn't work if she was running everything all the time. I also love when the memories begin to be more than one colour. Since my mum passed away, most of my "yellow" memories have blue to them too now. Life gets more complicated as you get older, but it's still beautiful in a different way.
I've been battling depression since I was around Riley's age, and I can't even explain how seen I felt when that control panel greyed out. I know there are some misconceptions about depression, and another reactor I watched thought it would be like what Joy has but if Sadness were to take full control. As his reaction went on, the realization hit him that depression is also just numbness. When Fear said "We can't make Riley feel *_Anything_*" it was just perfect. This movie is so mature, and I 10000% agree that it's for all ages. It taught me a lot as an almost 25 year old who went 10 years without crying because of the very same reason as Riley. Such a fantastic film, and I really think it will remain one of Pixar's top five greatest films they've ever made. So damn good. Your reaction to it was just as good! They're always so fun but the way you're so in tune with your emotions and aren't afraid or ashamed of showing them proudly is really inspiring lol. Thank you for sharing your journeys through movies and shows with us!! We love them a lot, and you've created such a safe space here on this channel, you should be really proud of yourself!! You're awesome Niall!!
honestly same. i had really severe childhood depression but i didn’t really understand it till i was older and this movie, especially the scene where the consul goes grey, always really resonated with me. what reaction are you talking about, cause im always in the lookout for a good reaction to this movie.
Wow I can relate to that-- I was a ~35 year old when I first saw this film and this is the first movie I can remember in my LIFE to trigger tears from me (and not many real-life experiences could do that either). Not only that, but it was the first time in my life also when I actually noticed the feel-good brain endorphins that often come along with tears. They actually caused me to pursue MORE tearjerker movies (which I'd NEVER wanted to do before!). At first I thought that urge was super weird, BUT not after I did some research and found out about those neurotransmitters and hormones in my head lol.
I moved at the same age as Riley did and fell into depression afterwards. I saw this movie before all of that and while I'd been able to empathize, and even cried watching it.. after having moved, it just hits so much harder. We moved somewhere twelve hours away from all of my friends, family, school, and everything I knew. And to make it worse, it's across the border, so during the pandemic it prevented us from attending a funeral for my granduncle who passed (and we hadn't gotten to see much before then). I resent living here even now, I don't care if I'm technically 'better off', because regardless of that, I'm depressed and anxious now, while I'd been perfectly fine pre-move. The people I know aren't nearly the same, none of my actual family is here aside from my mom, my education has suffered because the schools here are worse, and it's just not the same. All I really have going for me are my two cats and some online friends. I don't like making many friends in-person because I think there's some underlying fear of 'what if I'm forced to move away again and lose everything I've built up'. When we moved, I was just young enough that none of my age group had social media, so my friends and I lost contact, and I can't be nearly as close with my family because we don't live in proximity. We live so far away we can't visit more than twice a year for a week and half per visit, and my grandaunt is starting to get old and lose her memory, which I hate not being able to see her because of-- there's not much time left. And I can't voice any of how I feel about where we live to my mother because she thinks it was better that we moved and gets annoyed when I try to talk about how it made me feel. We didn't even *have* to move and she knew I didn't want to at the time. It stills affects me today and I just wish she understood that :(
Did you notice that Sadness is in the Captain’s chair of Mom, but Anger is the Captain of Dad? And how all emotions are at the console for Mom, showing they’re all equal, while Anger is separate from the rest for Dad as if it’s the most important or strongest emotion. So fitting for how women vs men are raised. Also, the creators at Pixar have said they make movies for adults that children can enjoy (rather than the other way around, like most people think). So the fact all their movies are so deep and make us cry is intentional lol.
oh my god it just hit me. the part where a ton of memories start going into the pit? thats so so real for depression too. like you come out of the episode and you struggle to remember things. like sure some memories will come back with time but god, its so insane how this movie captured everything. the "we cant make riley feel ANYTHING" cause of how depression numbs you. th ememory loss, the depersonalization. It's so so real and painful and this movie does amazing
I teach small children and this movie is one of the best for teaching about emotions. I always play it at the beginning of the school year. It really gets them thinking about their feelings. Also, many of my non-verbal students recognize the characters and point to them when they want to express how they’re feeling. Truly love this film.
its always interesting to me to watch people watch this movie and think that sadness is being annoying or screwing things up at the start, because my own first instinct is to find joy so hamfisted and overbearing. trying to paper over Rileys sadness causes her to selfdestruct, shy away from people that care about her and strain her relationships. toxic positivity can be very insidious because it can read as seeing the silver lining, or being a go getter, or trying your best, when really it can alienate you from asking from help and receiving care from others
It blew my mind how well this movie demonstrated the way sadness is fundamental for our ability to feel empathy/sympathy for others, without ever explicitly stating it
To cry is to detox. A very smart woman told me that. It's always good to feel all the emotions in a day, or at least most of them. Everyone take care of yourselves. You are all worth it, and matter so much. ❤❤❤
I think the reason why I love reaction channels is because it allows me to... FEEL vicariously though others' experiences. I generally am so... dry and withered; numb... I can only simulate emotion through hindsight, and seeing other people be able to feel in the moment simply... amazes me.
When I was little I cried when bing bong died, but now what makes me cry is when Riley goes home to her parents and is just crying. It’s just very heartbreaking and reminds me of me right now. Also sadness is my favorite emotion cuz I think she’s very important
I always interpreted the beginning with Joy and Sadness, representing how when you try to only be happy, suppressing your sadness, it only makes you miss all the old memories more. The sadness being drawn to the memories just by forgetting what it was like to express yourself freely without lashing out at people. Reminds me of when I moved states.
This is my absolute favorite Pixar movie. I cry every time. Especially when Riley is finally expressing her sadness at the end and her parents validate her feelings. That bittersweet mix of joy and sadness is the best! I love this movie so much!!
The sort where she walked into the gray also struck me as joy falling into the forgotten pit. She felt so lost and depressed she forgot how happiness felt. Without the balance of joy and sadness, she was nothing. Also joy loving little things like Riley sticking out her tongue signified Riley loving herself, which means the depression muddied her image of herself. Hope this helps !! 😘
I actually love when sadness starts to touch the happy memories, it goes to show how much we humans choke down our feelings and be strong even though deep down we are all not doing ok
I love that Riley's depression was fueled by her loss of Joy *and* Sadness. They didn't conflate sadness with depression. They are not the same, and it is very much about loss of emotions rather than just being sad all the time.
This movie perfectly and respectfully depicts what it feels like to be in a depression. As someone who was depressed for upwards of 10 years of my 25 years of life, I can tell you that it is really accurate. For me, I can track my depression to a few specific events that I won't mention for obvious reasons. But it was basically a confusing change at around age 10-12. I don't remember the exact year. It caused me to only be able to fully feel anger, disgust, anxiety, fear, and annoyance. I could feel sad, sure. But most of the time, it was a shallow sadness, like being sad. I couldn't watch my TV show or something. Same thing with joy. It was the most shallow feeling that joy has to offer. Like laughing at a joke or funny video. Feels great in the moment, but it's gone and forgotten by the next day. Then, the dangerous part of depression hits. Where ALL my emotions are dulled down. Whereas, to an onlooker, it just looks like I was always angry. I got annoyed at even being talked to. Still do. I got anxious, which broadcasted itself as anger when something happened that was overwhelming. Like, not even anything actually overwhelming. I'm talking about being given a homeschooling assignment of reading 31 pages and doing the quiz at the end. This gave me a mental breakdown when I was 16. This was what I was stuck in for the better part of 8 years. It took its toll. It led to self-harm at a young age. Even younger than I mentioned. I won't tell the details, obviously. It even led to the worst kind of depressive thoughts when I was 21. That's when I realized what I was feeling wasn't anxiety but depression and that I needed help. Which I got. I'm much better now 4 years later. Like I said, I still deal with it. But this movie speaks to me on a different level because of what I've been through mentally, as well as my experiences. This movie is a masterpiece. Makes me cry every time. I admire how it was able to tackle subject matter so deep and remain respectful and kid friendly. This is why Toy Story 4 falls on its face. It tackled heavy subject matter and treated it like a joke. I find Toy Story 4 insulting on almost every possible level. I'd recommend staying away from that one. But I won't get into that one. It would take me hours to type everything. I don't have the time now. And it's irrelevant to Inside Out. Absolutely love Inside Out! So much! Edit: Also, 33:00 Feeling sadness, like actual full-on bawling your eyes out sadness, after being depressed for however long, feels amazing! Because during depression your mind suppresses that emotion automatically. I am pretty sure my first real cry after years of depression is one of my now core memories.
this movie taught me that it's okay to allow myself to be sad. you cant be happy all the time. you need to cry it out to feel better, pretending to be happy and not acknowledging just brews it and it's explode later
Definitely made for us big kids 😭, but I love that showing this to kids would really help them find the words to describe their emotions. These ones always speak so well to the kids and the adults
It's kinda ironic how when people hate sadness for being herself it also kinda related to how annoyed people get at sad people and that's why so many people suppress their sadness 😬
This movie won ALL the awards…deservedly so. Oscar, Critics Choice, BAFTA, Golden Globe…I can’t wait for the sequel. I’m loving all your animated movie reactions. Have you done Encanto?
The emotions represents Riley. So when joy is trying to surprass sadness, its really Riley trying to hide away her sadness, maybe trauma, of moving far away and losing important aspects of her life. Edit* theres a short on Disney+ and inside out 2 is coming un JUNE!! AHHHH *Joy takes over*
Oh gosh speaking of which, have you seen "Hachi- a Dog's Tale"? That one was SO sad that I wondered afterwards why I actually had not cried even MORE than I did ... and I got my answer later that night when I caught myself pushing away thoughts of the movie "because they were too painful". When I noticed that, since I know that such repression can be unhealthy, I made an effort to let myself feel stuff and... there was a FLOOD after that.
Inside out messed me up because I know exactly what a grayed out console feels like. It feels like that. Mine got a bit further sometimes but it really made me feel the feels. Side note: the reason sadness started to touch everything I'm the first place is because joy was stifling her. You force an emotion down it only comes out uncontrollably and can ruin your life
Inside Out holds a special place in my heart. It’s one of the few movies I saw in theater. As an emotional person, I’ve always struggled with extreme highs and extreme lows. When this movie came out I was deep in depression and this movie had me bawling in theaters. Even now, when I’m in a better place this movie makes me tear up every time.
i think the reason sadness was being so touchy and weird about the memories is because joy was always suppressing sadness and we all know how that can end
I am actually surprised by how many people were annoyed by sadness at the beginning of the film! I personally was annoyed by joy because I've had bad experiences with toxic positivity, so I was irritated by how she talked to sadness. Of course, I grew to like her by the end, but I'm pretty surprised that my experience wasn't the majority lmao
Sadness is so important. You cant mask joy when you are not feeling it. Only leaves you bottled up and hurt. A good cry session is so needed at times. This movie is great🥹
When I first watched this I was dead set that Bing Bong was a secret Bad Guy, in a 'I will not be forgotten' way. So when I saw what actually happened I started bawling. Great movie
this move was such a pivotal part of my childhood. growing up i had undiagnosed autism (wasn’t diagnosed until teenage years) and i was in therapy for what we would come to find out were autistic meltdowns. now getting a child to have deep conversations about emotions they can’t even process is extremely hard. after i saw this movie, i told my therapist about it and we continuously used this movie to think and talk through mental health. i also had an imaginary friend and world at that same age so the story line with bing bong was a way my therapist could connect with my brain. especially when it comes to autism, life can be like flipping over hurdles instead of just jumping and being able to get help from it is so important so that you can live. without this movie, i don’t think i would’ve ever gotten the help i needed that ultimately led me to getting diagnosed.
If you think about it, yeah. True sadness can’t be felt by ppl who lack empathy and the ability to love or be loved. They may feel dissatisfied or disappointed but not sadness, especially for others.
I loved the fact you actually got most of this movie's messages right on first try. Lost count of how many times I used Inside Out's concept of depression in psychotherapy to help my patients to learn and understand it. Depression is not extreme sadness, it's this "nothing veil". And the motive sadness (the feeling) is so confused with depression is, ironically, because it's the only feeling strong enough to be felt under the veil. Sometimes, anger or fear can pick under it too, but the effect doesn't last that long. It's not that they are sad, but the fact sadness is the only thing they can feel. That's something the movie got really well. That's the motive Sadness was the only one who could remove the idea when Riley started to feel depressed. In Riley's case, Sadness (the character) was clearly the most repressed feeling inside her mind, and the fact Joy forcefully excluded Sadness from the panel when Riley needed to grieve but couldn't, made Sadness powerful enough she could paint any memory, of any color, even without touching it, blue. It happens when you bottle a feeling, it just turns stronger and stronger. And it needs to be released somewhere, that's why Sadness felt the need to get closer to the memories, in special the core ones. At that moment, Riley needed to feel sad, she lost her entire world and was desperately missing her ex life and trying to grieve. If Joy didn't realize her mistake in time, Riley would get worse and worse. Repressed sadness, fear or anger can turn into serious mental and physical illness. That's something most patients need to get when treated. No wonder one of Joy's concepts was to be an actual villain. Toxic positivity can be as damaging as anger without control or bottled and unleashed fear. I really loved your reaction. And don't worry, EVERYONE cries for Bing Bong.
Sometimes sadness is what we need, suppressing it is what makes you shut down and feel numb. The way they enforced that happiness is her main emotions has stopped her from reaching out (like when the mom said thank you for staying as our happy girl) toxic positivity is not good when you dont feel truly happy. Brilliant film
13:36 One of my favourite things about the parent brains is who is in control and at the heads of the table, for dad anger and fear and mom sadness and anger makes so much sense and it’s heart breaking
I had an imaginary friend, her name was Lucía, she was a girl my age (6-7 years old) with a beautiful white dress and wavy brown hair, We played together and sometimes he came to dinner with the family, for my parents everything was very adorable until one day... While playing with Lucía, my mother joked saying "where is Lucía?" and I answered "There, next to the dishes..." and 5 seconds later a porcelain plate slipped from the dishes and broke, also breaking the floor tile. I couldn't see Lucía after that... And then she showed up to play at night, she was slightly transparent and pale, she would show up every night until one day I made a friend in elementary school, It was the last time I saw her... But I haven't forgotten about her, my photographic memory prevents me from forgetting her completely, she is still here with me, waiting to be useful in the future, when I have no one left again...
This movie never fails to make me BAWL. As someone so suffered from depression for years it hits me SO hard and makes me link back to how I used to be. its one of the best movies ever imo
This movie means so much to me.... I had a very emotionally abusive mother, and I wasn't allowed to cry. Worse was that I was undiagnosed adhd, so had emotional regulation problems. I cry very hard and openly when something affects me, whether I'm happy or sad. My mother hated it. And she made it known constantly. I grew up afraid to cry. So I'd hide myself away when I was getting overwhelmed. Crying in silence in an empty room was my normal. But then I saw this movie, albiet after moving out and having more awareness to what my mother did to me. Y'all I openly sobbed in the movie theatre when both Joy discovered sadness/joy can be a thing, and then when riley confronted her parents. It was like my child self could finally be free of the pain and worry of expressing myself. Thankfully my husband is my #1 supporter, and always tells me to "let it out" and to make sure I make myself feel better by actually feeling my emotions. Everyone needs to see this or realize that its okay to feel things.
The first time I watched this I was such a sobbing mess going through tissues like crazy and while it's not as bad now, I still cry every single time I watch this movie lmao
The amount of lewd memes I've seen of the dad in this film... GIRL. That aside, I really like how this film explores how sadness can lead to empathy and how hurtful toxic positivity can be. Also not sure if you noticed or mentioned it (I might've missed it), but the emotion sitting in the center is the main one (Joy for Riley, Sadness for her mother, and Anger for her father, etc.).
my deadname is riley (not spelt like that tho) and when this came out, my school had a movie day for it.. safe to say i was laughed at for a while.. especially for the imaginary bf 😭
Cinema Therapy did a couple episodes on this movie where they break down the psychological aspects. I highly recommend it if you want a better understanding of it!
Just reacting to the title... I recently watched this movie with my kids (8 and 10) when they were both having a hard time in school and having trouble dealing with their emotions, and this movie was sooo helpful in talking about it! They were much less bothered by the "heavy" stuff than I was. I was actually bawling for Bing Bong, they were a little sad but mostly giggling at how silly their mom was.
This movie came out when I started to have depression. It took me a while to watch it, but when I did, it hit me hard because this is exactly how it felt. Unfortunately, being an adult by then, I couldn't just cry and feel better, but that little breath at the end just gets me. That breath of relief feels so good after a good cry
This is one of my all-time favourite Disney/Pixar flicks and I remember it particularly fondly because I was travelling a lot when this came out and I watched it in a few different countries. Did you know that depending on where this was released, two scenes are different? One is the broccoli scene - in Japan, it’s actually green bell peppers because that’s what Japanese kids hate to eat. The other is when the dad is watching hockey - in some countries he’s watching football instead because it’s a more popular sport outside of the US. I love that Pixar tries to localize the films for their audience.
I always find it interesting seeing other people watch this movie. I hated joy for most of the movie because i was constantly told to look happy growing up. Forcing someone to be happy all the time isn't healthy. Sometimes, we just need a good cry.
I’m frothing at the mouth I LOVE inside out it’s a classic and does a phenomenal job showing how emotions work and making teens and young kids feel seend
I personally think that Inside Out is a movie about grief. When Joy is driving, Riley is in *denial.* "I am happy! We moved, and I am HAPPY! *intense grimace* When Joy is no longer able to drive, *Anger* becomes the de facto driver. "I can't be happy right now, and I'm making your problem. It's your fault we moved." Riley *bargens* with herself into stealing her mom's credit card. Anger's logic is flawed, but "mom and dad got us into this mess, they can pay to get us out" is classic barging. And then that scene where Riley sinks into *depression.* "I feel nothing. I won't feel anything until I'm home." It's not until Sadness drives that Riley moves onto *acceptance.* "I miss home. It doesn't feel fair. I wish we could just go home." And then they all hug it out and it's beautiful and we realize if it weren't for Bing-Bong we'd all cry harder! XD Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
i was 10 when this came out and i remember watching it and not understanding anything of the movie, when i re watched it now at 18, well, let's say i cry every time i see it. this movie leaves us with such bittersweet feelings, i feel sad because we all relate to it. that loss of childhood when bingbong disappears and when you realize you are at an age where you can actually look back and feel nostalgia and sadness with past things. not because they were all sad, but because not being there and experience what you felt at the time makes you miss it and realize it will never come back. and that in the end memories are just memories, no matter how much we think about them
I HEAVILY related to Riley when I was 13 😭I’m Alaskan and at the time I had moved to Washington. I missed the snow, I missed my friends, our life had completely changed and our house was wayyyy downgraded and I’m an only child. Every single thing was accurate and I just absolutely LOST it 😭I sobbed when Bing Bong faded and I sobbed at the end. INSIDE OUT 2 IS EVEN BETTER AS WELL😭which I wish I could’ve had at the age of 13. I hope you react to it when it goes on streaming
I definitely recommend Song of the Sea, as well as other films done by Cartoon Saloon. Such beautiful 2d animation and story, you'll definitely enjoy whatever film you choose from their list!
I haven’t seen this film in YEARS and it’s so interesting how much you picked up that I hadn’t noticed, loved seeing your reaction! I too was crying along with you
31:06 you’re not the only one!😭 every time I watch this movie or watch reactions I tear up or at least feel very choked up. It’s a like little friend or part you that sort of fades away just so you can grow up or get threw some tough situations
Inside out is so amazing, i love watching it and am SO excited for the new version, im literally scanning every part of the internet for little clips of the new movie!
I can never decide between this one and Coco as my #1 Pixar. Seems to always be whichever one I saw most recently, so right now it's this one. Being someone who is highly emotional, has studied psychology, and is also a mother, this movie has so much that tugs at my heart 😭
This is gonna be like so random but you telling us about your fake tooth just made me feel a lot better. One of my teeth has to be pulled because of reasons out of my control and ive felt really bad about it because I'm "too young to be missing a tooth" but it feels comforting to know other people have gone through that too
Canadian here. A lot of young guys in my time had to get a bridge because they would lose a tooth or two playing hockey in the dark times before face and mouth guards. It's no big deal really.
Pixar hired two of the leading experts on emotions to consult for this movie, and it shows. Together with the Pixar team they managed to make a movie that's not just a movie, it's a bridge to understanding emotions for children and adults.
Please tell me I wasn't the only one who cried when Bing Bong... 😭🩷 what is wrong with you Pixar!??? HOW DARE YOU!!

Yes for sure! I am a Hot 🔥 Mess 😭
you're not alone:
Don't forget to watch the new trailer, unless you wanna be surprised when the new movie comes out idk when it's coming out it might be this year or 2025.😊
Also... NOT MY DUDE BING BONG!!!😭😭😭💔💔
(Please ignore name I thought it was funny, and it still is lol)
It comes out in june of this year@@bigblacknimba
Every one cried at the BingBong part 😢
Inside out is a masterpiece and is actually used in a lot of therapy settings to explain why all feelings are important!
meanwhile just the premise of the sequels is infuriating to me as someone with a degree in psychology because anxiety, envy, embarrassment, these things aren't independent unique emotions. they are MORE COMPLEX EXTENSIONS of the 5 core emotions already established. it should be obvious how anxiety is just an extension of fear, but embarrassment? that's fear and sadness. envy? sort of a self-directed disgust. ennui? literally just low-level sadness, or the absence of emotion altogether. and neither of the parents have any of these individuated emotions in their heads. of all the ways they could have gone with a sequel, "new" emotions was the wrong way to go.
@@dietotaku I really hope to avoid plot holes they make the side emotions fuse with the original ones as the parents dont have them either. Like making them a puberty thing.
@@ficteon or the new emotions will disappear then puberty passes
@@PieeMone of the trailers actually shows anxiety in the dad’s brain for a moment so apparently they are in the adults heads in the sequel too. Maybe they’re just more in the back and don’t appear as often or something
For the sequel they just needed to do something like Turning Red but in adolescence and without any more changes.
And they decided to put more "emotions", probably ruining the stability of the plot.
I know that's probably most peoples first instinct, but it always pisses me off when people think sadness is messing up in the beginning. Joy is the one messing it up by trying to suppress the other emotions, Sadness is just doing her job!
Yeah, like she is basically restricted from doing the one thing she exists to do! But I think it also goes to show that sadness is a misunderstood & unappreciated emotion.
Ikr, it always frustrates me, cuz it feels obvious due to how she's clearly trying to control everything. Plus, I thought the concept of them being emotions and how sadness works in humans was something we were meant to learn a long time ago...
I think like what Niall said, the reason people are pissed is because it's so true to real life how sadness messes us up and takes over our emotions while the joy in us tries to make everything OK but can't always. Like we're saying "ARGH! I hate how true this is!"
It's toxic positivity. Forced happiness is a time bomb waiting to explode.
@@Zazabazaa If you're blessed with a really happy childhood, you don't necessarily need to learn about sadness until later. I made it to ten being an oblivious happy little kid, then had an event that basically made me shut down for about a year (didn't laugh, didn't cry, apparently I wouldn't let my mom hug me though I don't remember that). So yeah, this movie makes perfect sense to me and always makes me sob lol.
I loved watching him transition from "Sadness is F*cking us up" to "you're allowed to feel sad, you're meant to get your emotions out" and fun fact - this movie specifically started a boom in the therapy room, especially with children. It gave therapists a strong identifiable and visual reference point to help kids, adolescents, and adults explore, identify, and explain not only their own emotions, but their emotional relationships with others.
One thing I noticed and really like about Riley's dad is that after arguing when he went up to see Riley and tried to cheer her up, when he noticed that Riley was still upset and not in any mood to play along, he immediately gave her space and left her alone.
My family would literally pester me until I pretended to be happy so they'd just leave me alone. So seeing a parent be respectful and patient like that is such a good representation of good parenting tbh.
My parents would tell me to “stop sulking or I’ll give you something to sulk about”, essentially forcing me to dismiss and repress my emotions and pretend everything was alright in order to avoid further punishment. And they wonder why our relationship has soured over the years. 🙄
@@warriorbardtheyre teachin u for the better. for the real world
@@lukaajlovanovich1606 Mmm yes. Repressing your emotions and not addressing the issues head on are great ways to deal with "the real world". 🙄 People like you and my parents are reasons why kids grow up a mess and have heaps of mental health issues.
@@warriorbard The one I've heard (not from my parents but from other parents to their kids) is "Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about" and something to cry about was usually a beating😬
oh my god yes, my husband seems to see it as a personal challenge to take a bad mood and turn it up to 11 by relentlessly teasing and horsing around instead of just respecting the other person's feelings and giving them space.
I work in therapy and the use of this film for children has been phenomenal.
why? im interested. i never showed any diffierent emotions when i was young cuz of societal pressure and position. i now am struggling a lot to make any relationshionips. any advice?
@@lukaajlovanovich1606 go to therapy, they can help. i’ve had same issues, now it’s better. therapy helps.
Thank you for your service and work; therapy is so important ♡
@@lukaajlovanovich1606from what my therapist guided me to understand, all the emotions kind of communicate with what we want or need in response to things we experience. Anger can be we feel wronged in some way; sadness can tell someone they need to reach out for support; disgust can keep us away from things that may not be any good for us; anxiety can protect us from different forms of harm. So on and so forth. For me, I also struggle with relationships as well but I feel. But the people we interact with and the traumas we might endure can distort how we interact with our own emotions. This film might help some to understand that our emotions are natural and must be able to do what they do.
But I'm also not a therapist so I'm referencing my own insight, experiences, perspective, and things gathered from therapy and life itself 🙃
@@lukaajlovanovich1606I’m not a therapist myself, but I struggled with a very similar problem for a very, very long time. The way I got out of emotional disconnection was strangely enough just practice. Sort of like learning to be a human? Generally through the media I consumed. Figuring out the expected reactions from me out of certain things and deploying them like deliberate actions. Soon enough, they became more like full emotions and came out naturally, though more by instinct than true emotion. Still, it’s far better than nothing, and makes me feel pretty happy on occasions when the way I act makes someone else truly happy or when it elicits laughter. Again, I’m not a therapist, so for all I know this is terrible advice, but that’s my experience. As for relationships, your best bet is to tell people about your problem. Maybe casually, maybe in a serious manner with time set aside. Hopefully, if they’re good people and you’re tolerant of occasional mistakes (nobody’s perfect, even after you tell them they can have slip ups), a connection should form from mutual understanding of the situation. They can maybe even help you out. But if you’ve got the money or insurance, I do recommend therapy.
This movie quite literally saved my life as a kid. I literally went through exactly what Riley went through in this movie. I was born in New York and moved to Texas away from all my family and friends when I was 8. And this movie actually came out when I was 11. I was not accpeted by my peers and bullied very badly. Seeing this movie when I did made me sob uncontrollably. I remember my parents and I hugging each other in the theater as we all sobbed. That moment alone saved my life.
I cannot thank this movie enough for just existing.
Bonus: this movie also changed my girlfriend's life, too, it's what made her interested in psychology and made her persue being a therapist.
You know a movie is powerful when it changes... well, everything 😮
my mom can't watch the movie because it's too similar to what happened to me in my teen years, right down to her daughter (me) playing hockey
So glad to hear that it helped. I personally don't know what it's like to move state, because I've lived in (funny enough) Texas my whole life. That, as well as being homeschooled, I can't imagine what it would have been like for you. I hope you're in a much better place now.
There’s nothing that 100MEN..
hope y'all enjoy inside out 2 when it comes out
I love how we see the emotions and their place with the parents. You see sadness as the center and all of them sitting in a table together since the mom is now mature and had over come depression. Meanwhile you see the dad the same with the table and emotions together but anger is at the center meaning he had anger issues during his life . Riley on the other hand has the emotions all scattered around and more free showing how she’s still a kid and is still learning to be more mature.
So the mother "overcomes" depresion but the father hasn't "overcome" his anger issues? XD
@@TheDragonsRose LMAO should’ve worded that differently
I interpreted it that the positive sides of those emotions are strong in each of them (empathy and passion)
Nah, she has sadness in the center cause it develops in being an empath and for him anger represents being disciplined
@@hellogoodbyeandallinbetween 100%
this is still my favorite movie. sadness kept touching the memories even though she knew she "shouldn't" bc it was what Riley was actually feeling. joy kept masking over sadness even though Riley was actually upset about moving. the movie has a really good way of depicting emotional conflict and suppression, eventually it just overflows into fits of anger until you go emotionally numb. the mom's sadness is like the one in charge because it has evolved into a more complex emotion; empathy. it doesn't just tone it down to "you need sadness to feel happiness" but shows that sadness is just one of our many emotions and we need to feel to validate it just as much as our other emotions
Beautifully put. I also never realized but yes the mom had evolved into empathy and the dad had evolved into passion
I really used to bottle up my emotions as a kid cuz I thought I had to be a happy kid for everyone. But once I reached a certain age, I couldnt handle it anymore and hit severe depression. Kids should br taught about importance of all emotions 🤕🤕
i also used to bottle up all my emotions, but instead of hitting depression later, i just got angry. i would lash out at everyone and then sink into a depression because i hated how angry i was, and that just made me angrier.
I bottled up my emotions because I was verbally abused as a kid. When my dad would yell at me, i had to stand there and take it without crying because, if we spoke up in protest we got it worse. So, I would clam up. I still struggle with expressing my emotions.
Don't worry Niall, I promise we all cry at bing bong's part. "Take her to the moon for me." will always make me cry! it is also a very popular meme for the same reason
fist time I saw this, I knew he was going to jump off as soon as he suggested a third try. And my heart broke when he closed his eyes and pushed himself off
I cried more at Bing Bong fading away forever then the bitter sweet family moment at the end.
Interestingly that was NOT the part that strongly triggered tears from me, but that was probably because there was a PRIOR scene which HAD SO so strongly triggered tears from me (and I had gone to great efforts to suppress them because it's not typical at all for me to cry, AND my roommates were there :P). BUT suppressing those tears came with a price: It was PAINFUL for me to suppress those tears... SO painful that I immediately thought to myself "WOW if I could rewind time, I would NOT have tried to hold that in!!! I don't CARE even if my roommates are here!" So... I am thinking ... that particular event had emotionally exhausted me, so that nothing was going to happen by the time it came for Bing Bong lol. Or that ending too which is another huge trigger for most people.
If you are curious, THE scene that "emotionally sneak-attacked me" was when Joy was stuck in the pit and she said the line of "Do you remember when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?" I think that "got me" very strongly for certain reasons such as knowing people who I was close to who I was unsure if they would ever be happy again, so it hit me super strongly.
Sooo many things about this film are genius but one small detail that I think gets overlooked is when Riley gets up for that first day of school and Joy tells Sadness to stay within the circle she draws on the floor, saying it is her job to keep all the sadness inside the circle. That was literally Riley making the decision to put on a brave face, be optimistic and ignore the fact she is actually feeling sad that day. Something we all do way too much. And a lot of people think sadness is annoying because she constantly touches things and doesn't listen but the point is that no one can control feeling sad, it's not a choice, it can't be helped. And as the film shows, more damage is done by ignoring it and trying to force happiness rather than just allowing yourself to feel sad and move passed it.
Annál a résznél kezdtem el nagyon nem szeretni Joy-t. Még ha nem jött át számomra ennyire a jelenet jelentősége, nem szeretem amikor félresöpörnek valakit, (ahogy Joy tette Sadnessel ) ráadásul ilyen látványos módon. Ez is bántalmazás ha valakit ennyire semmibe vesznek, érzeteik vele hogy ő semmit sem ér.
I love how it represents emotional repression. Even though it’s dark you NEED to experience sadness and other feelings to grow and develop well. This just shows that you shouldn’t hide your emotions or cover them up or you would keep messing up or stay stuck in the same place lost.
society makes it hard and difficult and the constant judgment in real life and real world. so no, sometimes its not youre fault youre not shwoing emotions at all
@@lukaajlovanovich1606of course that’s sometimes the case, nobody said otherwise.
The ending where she’s talking to her parents ALWAYS makes me cry, doesn’t matter when I watch it or if I’ve been watching the movie before hand or not. It hits too hard, being relied on by your parents for emotional stability and not being up to par. Pixar hits and it hits hard
Yeees! The bing bong part didn't get me, but the ending where she's apologizing for not being able to be happy, even though her parents 'need' her to be - OOF. Pain.
31:05 Riley better become an astronaut or a rocket scientist or something
Take her to the moon for me.
😭
@felixhenson9926 Nooo I broke down on that one 😭🥺
😔🫶
Real 😔😔😔
This movie has done a HUGE service to mental health practices, because it provides such a clear and insightful way to think about emotions and talk about emotions - and it recognizes how each emotion has a valuable role to play in keeping us healthy and functional. Lovely reaction! :)
hey cutie
i dont show most of my emotions cuz of pressure and im functioning completely notmal. so idk what youre saying
People rarely notice this but Joy has the colors of every emotion, her skin (fur i guess) is yellow with a tint of red, her lips are red, her dress is green, and her eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, hair and aura are all blue; Joy can't exist by herself, she's made up of every emotion, she needs them to be full.
Sadness is one of the most important emotions we have - without her, we wouldn't have empathy! I love how the film shows her skills. Joy is just one colour in the palette and life wouldn't work if she was running everything all the time.
I also love when the memories begin to be more than one colour. Since my mum passed away, most of my "yellow" memories have blue to them too now. Life gets more complicated as you get older, but it's still beautiful in a different way.
I've been battling depression since I was around Riley's age, and I can't even explain how seen I felt when that control panel greyed out. I know there are some misconceptions about depression, and another reactor I watched thought it would be like what Joy has but if Sadness were to take full control. As his reaction went on, the realization hit him that depression is also just numbness. When Fear said "We can't make Riley feel *_Anything_*" it was just perfect. This movie is so mature, and I 10000% agree that it's for all ages. It taught me a lot as an almost 25 year old who went 10 years without crying because of the very same reason as Riley. Such a fantastic film, and I really think it will remain one of Pixar's top five greatest films they've ever made. So damn good. Your reaction to it was just as good! They're always so fun but the way you're so in tune with your emotions and aren't afraid or ashamed of showing them proudly is really inspiring lol. Thank you for sharing your journeys through movies and shows with us!! We love them a lot, and you've created such a safe space here on this channel, you should be really proud of yourself!! You're awesome Niall!!
honestly same. i had really severe childhood depression but i didn’t really understand it till i was older and this movie, especially the scene where the consul goes grey, always really resonated with me. what reaction are you talking about, cause im always in the lookout for a good reaction to this movie.
Wow I can relate to that-- I was a ~35 year old when I first saw this film and this is the first movie I can remember in my LIFE to trigger tears from me (and not many real-life experiences could do that either). Not only that, but it was the first time in my life also when I actually noticed the feel-good brain endorphins that often come along with tears. They actually caused me to pursue MORE tearjerker movies (which I'd NEVER wanted to do before!). At first I thought that urge was super weird, BUT not after I did some research and found out about those neurotransmitters and hormones in my head lol.
I moved at the same age as Riley did and fell into depression afterwards. I saw this movie before all of that and while I'd been able to empathize, and even cried watching it.. after having moved, it just hits so much harder. We moved somewhere twelve hours away from all of my friends, family, school, and everything I knew. And to make it worse, it's across the border, so during the pandemic it prevented us from attending a funeral for my granduncle who passed (and we hadn't gotten to see much before then). I resent living here even now, I don't care if I'm technically 'better off', because regardless of that, I'm depressed and anxious now, while I'd been perfectly fine pre-move. The people I know aren't nearly the same, none of my actual family is here aside from my mom, my education has suffered because the schools here are worse, and it's just not the same. All I really have going for me are my two cats and some online friends.
I don't like making many friends in-person because I think there's some underlying fear of 'what if I'm forced to move away again and lose everything I've built up'. When we moved, I was just young enough that none of my age group had social media, so my friends and I lost contact, and I can't be nearly as close with my family because we don't live in proximity. We live so far away we can't visit more than twice a year for a week and half per visit, and my grandaunt is starting to get old and lose her memory, which I hate not being able to see her because of-- there's not much time left. And I can't voice any of how I feel about where we live to my mother because she thinks it was better that we moved and gets annoyed when I try to talk about how it made me feel. We didn't even *have* to move and she knew I didn't want to at the time. It stills affects me today and I just wish she understood that :(
Did you notice that Sadness is in the Captain’s chair of Mom, but Anger is the Captain of Dad? And how all emotions are at the console for Mom, showing they’re all equal, while Anger is separate from the rest for Dad as if it’s the most important or strongest emotion. So fitting for how women vs men are raised.
Also, the creators at Pixar have said they make movies for adults that children can enjoy (rather than the other way around, like most people think). So the fact all their movies are so deep and make us cry is intentional lol.
Oh wow! I didnt even notice that, what a great observation!
oh my god it just hit me. the part where a ton of memories start going into the pit? thats so so real for depression too. like you come out of the episode and you struggle to remember things. like sure some memories will come back with time but god, its so insane how this movie captured everything. the "we cant make riley feel ANYTHING" cause of how depression numbs you. th ememory loss, the depersonalization. It's so so real and painful and this movie does amazing
Niall’s gonna cry and then that hot Pixar dad. I am SAT!!!
YOU BETTA WATCH FOR THE HOT DAD!!!
@@niallnochill Oh you're far from alone on the Hot Dad here... he was a core memory for some of us lol
"Bing Bong is a MURDERER" I snorrrted
I teach small children and this movie is one of the best for teaching about emotions. I always play it at the beginning of the school year. It really gets them thinking about their feelings. Also, many of my non-verbal students recognize the characters and point to them when they want to express how they’re feeling. Truly love this film.
nah cause when Bing Bong died I wanted to die too
omg please don't die, i'll be sad
its always interesting to me to watch people watch this movie and think that sadness is being annoying or screwing things up at the start, because my own first instinct is to find joy so hamfisted and overbearing. trying to paper over Rileys sadness causes her to selfdestruct, shy away from people that care about her and strain her relationships. toxic positivity can be very insidious because it can read as seeing the silver lining, or being a go getter, or trying your best, when really it can alienate you from asking from help and receiving care from others
It blew my mind how well this movie demonstrated the way sadness is fundamental for our ability to feel empathy/sympathy for others, without ever explicitly stating it
To cry is to detox. A very smart woman told me that. It's always good to feel all the emotions in a day, or at least most of them. Everyone take care of yourselves. You are all worth it, and matter so much. ❤❤❤
I think the reason why I love reaction channels is because it allows me to... FEEL vicariously though others' experiences.
I generally am so... dry and withered; numb...
I can only simulate emotion through hindsight, and seeing other people be able to feel in the moment simply... amazes me.
When I was little I cried when bing bong died, but now what makes me cry is when Riley goes home to her parents and is just crying. It’s just very heartbreaking and reminds me of me right now. Also sadness is my favorite emotion cuz I think she’s very important
I always interpreted the beginning with Joy and Sadness, representing how when you try to only be happy, suppressing your sadness, it only makes you miss all the old memories more. The sadness being drawn to the memories just by forgetting what it was like to express yourself freely without lashing out at people. Reminds me of when I moved states.
This is my absolute favorite Pixar movie. I cry every time. Especially when Riley is finally expressing her sadness at the end and her parents validate her feelings. That bittersweet mix of joy and sadness is the best! I love this movie so much!!
The sort where she walked into the gray also struck me as joy falling into the forgotten pit. She felt so lost and depressed she forgot how happiness felt. Without the balance of joy and sadness, she was nothing. Also joy loving little things like Riley sticking out her tongue signified Riley loving herself, which means the depression muddied her image of herself. Hope this helps !! 😘
I actually love when sadness starts to touch the happy memories, it goes to show how much we humans choke down our feelings and be strong even though deep down we are all not doing ok
I love that Riley's depression was fueled by her loss of Joy *and* Sadness. They didn't conflate sadness with depression. They are not the same, and it is very much about loss of emotions rather than just being sad all the time.
This movie perfectly and respectfully depicts what it feels like to be in a depression. As someone who was depressed for upwards of 10 years of my 25 years of life, I can tell you that it is really accurate.
For me, I can track my depression to a few specific events that I won't mention for obvious reasons. But it was basically a confusing change at around age 10-12. I don't remember the exact year. It caused me to only be able to fully feel anger, disgust, anxiety, fear, and annoyance. I could feel sad, sure. But most of the time, it was a shallow sadness, like being sad. I couldn't watch my TV show or something. Same thing with joy. It was the most shallow feeling that joy has to offer. Like laughing at a joke or funny video. Feels great in the moment, but it's gone and forgotten by the next day.
Then, the dangerous part of depression hits. Where ALL my emotions are dulled down. Whereas, to an onlooker, it just looks like I was always angry. I got annoyed at even being talked to. Still do. I got anxious, which broadcasted itself as anger when something happened that was overwhelming. Like, not even anything actually overwhelming. I'm talking about being given a homeschooling assignment of reading 31 pages and doing the quiz at the end. This gave me a mental breakdown when I was 16. This was what I was stuck in for the better part of 8 years. It took its toll. It led to self-harm at a young age. Even younger than I mentioned. I won't tell the details, obviously. It even led to the worst kind of depressive thoughts when I was 21. That's when I realized what I was feeling wasn't anxiety but depression and that I needed help. Which I got. I'm much better now 4 years later. Like I said, I still deal with it. But this movie speaks to me on a different level because of what I've been through mentally, as well as my experiences.
This movie is a masterpiece. Makes me cry every time. I admire how it was able to tackle subject matter so deep and remain respectful and kid friendly.
This is why Toy Story 4 falls on its face. It tackled heavy subject matter and treated it like a joke. I find Toy Story 4 insulting on almost every possible level. I'd recommend staying away from that one. But I won't get into that one. It would take me hours to type everything. I don't have the time now. And it's irrelevant to Inside Out.
Absolutely love Inside Out! So much!
Edit: Also, 33:00 Feeling sadness, like actual full-on bawling your eyes out sadness, after being depressed for however long, feels amazing! Because during depression your mind suppresses that emotion automatically. I am pretty sure my first real cry after years of depression is one of my now core memories.
this movie taught me that it's okay to allow myself to be sad. you cant be happy all the time. you need to cry it out to feel better, pretending to be happy and not acknowledging just brews it and it's explode later
Definitely made for us big kids 😭, but I love that showing this to kids would really help them find the words to describe their emotions. These ones always speak so well to the kids and the adults
It's kinda ironic how when people hate sadness for being herself it also kinda related to how annoyed people get at sad people and that's why so many people suppress their sadness 😬
This movie won ALL the awards…deservedly so. Oscar, Critics Choice, BAFTA, Golden Globe…I can’t wait for the sequel. I’m loving all your animated movie reactions. Have you done Encanto?
The emotions represents Riley. So when joy is trying to surprass sadness, its really Riley trying to hide away her sadness, maybe trauma, of moving far away and losing important aspects of her life.
Edit* theres a short on Disney+ and inside out 2 is coming un JUNE!! AHHHH *Joy takes over*
There's one thing that'll always make me cry. Dog movies. A dog's purpose especially had me crying throughout
Oh gosh speaking of which, have you seen "Hachi- a Dog's Tale"? That one was SO sad that I wondered afterwards why I actually had not cried even MORE than I did ... and I got my answer later that night when I caught myself pushing away thoughts of the movie "because they were too painful". When I noticed that, since I know that such repression can be unhealthy, I made an effort to let myself feel stuff and... there was a FLOOD after that.
Ive seen this movie 30 times on my own, with friends, and online with reactors and without fail i cry at bing bong fading away.
Inside out messed me up because I know exactly what a grayed out console feels like. It feels like that. Mine got a bit further sometimes but it really made me feel the feels. Side note: the reason sadness started to touch everything I'm the first place is because joy was stifling her. You force an emotion down it only comes out uncontrollably and can ruin your life
Inside Out holds a special place in my heart. It’s one of the few movies I saw in theater. As an emotional person, I’ve always struggled with extreme highs and extreme lows. When this movie came out I was deep in depression and this movie had me bawling in theaters.
Even now, when I’m in a better place this movie makes me tear up every time.
i think the reason sadness was being so touchy and weird about the memories is because joy was always suppressing sadness and we all know how that can end
I am actually surprised by how many people were annoyed by sadness at the beginning of the film! I personally was annoyed by joy because I've had bad experiences with toxic positivity, so I was irritated by how she talked to sadness. Of course, I grew to like her by the end, but I'm pretty surprised that my experience wasn't the majority lmao
Sadness is so important. You cant mask joy when you are not feeling it. Only leaves you bottled up and hurt. A good cry session is so needed at times. This movie is great🥹
“a good cry session is so needed at times”: me every time i watch this movie
The way you sum up the story is EXACTLY why it SHOULD be a kids movie! Kids need to learn about their own emotions as early as possible
I have a child therapist acquaintance who started using pictures of these emotions to help kids articulate how they feel after this movie came out
When I first watched this I was dead set that Bing Bong was a secret Bad Guy, in a 'I will not be forgotten' way. So when I saw what actually happened I started bawling. Great movie
You can never go into a Pixar film without tissues!
The biggest character development was him going from “we need to put sadness in a prison” to “you shouldn’t lock your sadness away”
I saw this in the cinema and people in the audience were straight up ugly crying/sobbing in the theater.
this move was such a pivotal part of my childhood. growing up i had undiagnosed autism (wasn’t diagnosed until teenage years) and i was in therapy for what we would come to find out were autistic meltdowns. now getting a child to have deep conversations about emotions they can’t even process is extremely hard. after i saw this movie, i told my therapist about it and we continuously used this movie to think and talk through mental health. i also had an imaginary friend and world at that same age so the story line with bing bong was a way my therapist could connect with my brain. especially when it comes to autism, life can be like flipping over hurdles instead of just jumping and being able to get help from it is so important so that you can live. without this movie, i don’t think i would’ve ever gotten the help i needed that ultimately led me to getting diagnosed.
30:39 The Bingbong moment is universally one of the saddest moments in movie
Soo… if they had kicked sadness to the curb, would Riley have possibly became a psychopath/ sociopath? Because that moment with Bingbong was empathy
If you think about it, yeah. True sadness can’t be felt by ppl who lack empathy and the ability to love or be loved. They may feel dissatisfied or disappointed but not sadness, especially for others.
As a brazilian guy I confirm, all our pilots are hot like that
If Riley doesn't become an astronaut in the next movie, I'm going to demand a refund.
I loved the fact you actually got most of this movie's messages right on first try. Lost count of how many times I used Inside Out's concept of depression in psychotherapy to help my patients to learn and understand it. Depression is not extreme sadness, it's this "nothing veil".
And the motive sadness (the feeling) is so confused with depression is, ironically, because it's the only feeling strong enough to be felt under the veil. Sometimes, anger or fear can pick under it too, but the effect doesn't last that long. It's not that they are sad, but the fact sadness is the only thing they can feel. That's something the movie got really well. That's the motive Sadness was the only one who could remove the idea when Riley started to feel depressed.
In Riley's case, Sadness (the character) was clearly the most repressed feeling inside her mind, and the fact Joy forcefully excluded Sadness from the panel when Riley needed to grieve but couldn't, made Sadness powerful enough she could paint any memory, of any color, even without touching it, blue. It happens when you bottle a feeling, it just turns stronger and stronger. And it needs to be released somewhere, that's why Sadness felt the need to get closer to the memories, in special the core ones. At that moment, Riley needed to feel sad, she lost her entire world and was desperately missing her ex life and trying to grieve.
If Joy didn't realize her mistake in time, Riley would get worse and worse. Repressed sadness, fear or anger can turn into serious mental and physical illness. That's something most patients need to get when treated. No wonder one of Joy's concepts was to be an actual villain. Toxic positivity can be as damaging as anger without control or bottled and unleashed fear.
I really loved your reaction. And don't worry, EVERYONE cries for Bing Bong.
Sometimes sadness is what we need, suppressing it is what makes you shut down and feel numb. The way they enforced that happiness is her main emotions has stopped her from reaching out (like when the mom said thank you for staying as our happy girl) toxic positivity is not good when you dont feel truly happy. Brilliant film
I’m proud to say I’ve never hated sadness. It’s so obvious that all emotions are important and you can’t be happy all the time
13:36 One of my favourite things about the parent brains is who is in control and at the heads of the table, for dad anger and fear and mom sadness and anger makes so much sense and it’s heart breaking
I had an imaginary friend, her name was Lucía, she was a girl my age (6-7 years old) with a beautiful white dress and wavy brown hair, We played together and sometimes he came to dinner with the family, for my parents everything was very adorable until one day...
While playing with Lucía, my mother joked saying "where is Lucía?" and I answered "There, next to the dishes..." and 5 seconds later a porcelain plate slipped from the dishes and broke, also breaking the floor tile.
I couldn't see Lucía after that...
And then she showed up to play at night, she was slightly transparent and pale, she would show up every night until one day I made a friend in elementary school, It was the last time I saw her...
But I haven't forgotten about her, my photographic memory prevents me from forgetting her completely, she is still here with me, waiting to be useful in the future, when I have no one left again...
This movie never fails to make me BAWL. As someone so suffered from depression for years it hits me SO hard and makes me link back to how I used to be. its one of the best movies ever imo
Has anyone noticed that each adult is run by a different emotion? Mom is run by sadness; Dad is run by Anger. Mind blown
This movie means so much to me.... I had a very emotionally abusive mother, and I wasn't allowed to cry. Worse was that I was undiagnosed adhd, so had emotional regulation problems. I cry very hard and openly when something affects me, whether I'm happy or sad. My mother hated it. And she made it known constantly. I grew up afraid to cry. So I'd hide myself away when I was getting overwhelmed. Crying in silence in an empty room was my normal. But then I saw this movie, albiet after moving out and having more awareness to what my mother did to me.
Y'all I openly sobbed in the movie theatre when both Joy discovered sadness/joy can be a thing, and then when riley confronted her parents. It was like my child self could finally be free of the pain and worry of expressing myself. Thankfully my husband is my #1 supporter, and always tells me to "let it out" and to make sure I make myself feel better by actually feeling my emotions.
Everyone needs to see this or realize that its okay to feel things.
I cry every time I watch this. I didn’t get how deep the story/message was when I was younger, but now…it hit so deep. 😭
I freakin love your movie watch throughs! Just discovered you last week. Do you edit your own vids? Whomever edits your vids is a genius. So funny!
why thank you and yeah, the editing is all me
@@niallnochill You have a TALENT! It really makes the whole video style so engaging and funny
The first time I watched this I was such a sobbing mess going through tissues like crazy and while it's not as bad now, I still cry every single time I watch this movie lmao
The amount of lewd memes I've seen of the dad in this film... GIRL. That aside, I really like how this film explores how sadness can lead to empathy and how hurtful toxic positivity can be. Also not sure if you noticed or mentioned it (I might've missed it), but the emotion sitting in the center is the main one (Joy for Riley, Sadness for her mother, and Anger for her father, etc.).
I appreciate the honesty that you’ve seen it before. When other reaction channels act like they’ve never seen any movie ever I’m like 😒😒😒😒
Haha, i always try and be as honest as possible 🩷 i’ve seen a lot but it’s been years so i forget a lot
I just found your channel about 2 weeks ago and I love your personality and commentary!! ☺️✨️
aw thank you, that's so sweet !!
my deadname is riley (not spelt like that tho) and when this came out, my school had a movie day for it.. safe to say i was laughed at for a while.. especially for the imaginary bf 😭
Cinema Therapy did a couple episodes on this movie where they break down the psychological aspects. I highly recommend it if you want a better understanding of it!
Just reacting to the title... I recently watched this movie with my kids (8 and 10) when they were both having a hard time in school and having trouble dealing with their emotions, and this movie was sooo helpful in talking about it! They were much less bothered by the "heavy" stuff than I was. I was actually bawling for Bing Bong, they were a little sad but mostly giggling at how silly their mom was.
Sadness is actually my favorite. She’s everything that I need.
This movie came out when I started to have depression. It took me a while to watch it, but when I did, it hit me hard because this is exactly how it felt. Unfortunately, being an adult by then, I couldn't just cry and feel better, but that little breath at the end just gets me. That breath of relief feels so good after a good cry
Inside Out is the ONLY movie that has ever made me cry, and does that every time I watch it. It's too real.
This is one of my all-time favourite Disney/Pixar flicks and I remember it particularly fondly because I was travelling a lot when this came out and I watched it in a few different countries. Did you know that depending on where this was released, two scenes are different? One is the broccoli scene - in Japan, it’s actually green bell peppers because that’s what Japanese kids hate to eat. The other is when the dad is watching hockey - in some countries he’s watching football instead because it’s a more popular sport outside of the US. I love that Pixar tries to localize the films for their audience.
I always find it interesting seeing other people watch this movie.
I hated joy for most of the movie because i was constantly told to look happy growing up.
Forcing someone to be happy all the time isn't healthy. Sometimes, we just need a good cry.
just discovered your channel. I'd be looking forward to more Pixar movie reactions. They just make the best movies.
I can specifically recommend *Soul* , *Up* , *Coco* , and *Elemental*
“Take her to the moon for me” will make me sob EVERYTIME 😭🥺
I’m frothing at the mouth I LOVE inside out it’s a classic and does a phenomenal job showing how emotions work and making teens and young kids feel seend
I personally think that Inside Out is a movie about grief.
When Joy is driving, Riley is in *denial.* "I am happy! We moved, and I am HAPPY! *intense grimace*
When Joy is no longer able to drive, *Anger* becomes the de facto driver. "I can't be happy right now, and I'm making your problem. It's your fault we moved."
Riley *bargens* with herself into stealing her mom's credit card. Anger's logic is flawed, but "mom and dad got us into this mess, they can pay to get us out" is classic barging.
And then that scene where Riley sinks into *depression.* "I feel nothing. I won't feel anything until I'm home."
It's not until Sadness drives that Riley moves onto *acceptance.* "I miss home. It doesn't feel fair. I wish we could just go home."
And then they all hug it out and it's beautiful and we realize if it weren't for Bing-Bong we'd all cry harder! XD
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
i was 10 when this came out and i remember watching it and not understanding anything of the movie, when i re watched it now at 18, well, let's say i cry every time i see it. this movie leaves us with such bittersweet feelings, i feel sad because we all relate to it. that loss of childhood when bingbong disappears and when you realize you are at an age where you can actually look back and feel nostalgia and sadness with past things. not because they were all sad, but because not being there and experience what you felt at the time makes you miss it and realize it will never come back. and that in the end memories are just memories, no matter how much we think about them
I HEAVILY related to Riley when I was 13 😭I’m Alaskan and at the time I had moved to Washington. I missed the snow, I missed my friends, our life had completely changed and our house was wayyyy downgraded and I’m an only child. Every single thing was accurate and I just absolutely LOST it 😭I sobbed when Bing Bong faded and I sobbed at the end.
INSIDE OUT 2 IS EVEN BETTER AS WELL😭which I wish I could’ve had at the age of 13. I hope you react to it when it goes on streaming
I definitely recommend Song of the Sea, as well as other films done by Cartoon Saloon. Such beautiful 2d animation and story, you'll definitely enjoy whatever film you choose from their list!
Yessss love these films and I don’t often see videos on them
didn't even have to watch the whole movie to sob at the ending. that hug between riley and her parents gets me every timeeeee 🥹😭
There are 2 kind of people, the ones angry at sadness and the ones angry at joy, on the begining of the movie
Whomever edita your videos deserves a raise. So fun and funny and well done
I haven’t seen this film in YEARS and it’s so interesting how much you picked up that I hadn’t noticed, loved seeing your reaction! I too was crying along with you
“Anyone else cry there?”
Girl, I still cry every time! Between Up, this, and Coco… ugh
31:06 you’re not the only one!😭 every time I watch this movie or watch reactions I tear up or at least feel very choked up. It’s a like little friend or part you that sort of fades away just so you can grow up or get threw some tough situations
Inside out is so amazing, i love watching it and am SO excited for the new version, im literally scanning every part of the internet for little clips of the new movie!
I can never decide between this one and Coco as my #1 Pixar. Seems to always be whichever one I saw most recently, so right now it's this one. Being someone who is highly emotional, has studied psychology, and is also a mother, this movie has so much that tugs at my heart 😭
This is gonna be like so random but you telling us about your fake tooth just made me feel a lot better. One of my teeth has to be pulled because of reasons out of my control and ive felt really bad about it because I'm "too young to be missing a tooth" but it feels comforting to know other people have gone through that too
Canadian here. A lot of young guys in my time had to get a bridge because they would lose a tooth or two playing hockey in the dark times before face and mouth guards. It's no big deal really.
"it's an emotional piano" - this piano song can absolutely DESTROY me just with a few notes now lol
Pixar hired two of the leading experts on emotions to consult for this movie, and it shows. Together with the Pixar team they managed to make a movie that's not just a movie, it's a bridge to understanding emotions for children and adults.
We watched this movie in my AP psychology class in high school to explore our emotions and how they can manifest in others. Its a great film
