Really hard to watch 4 grown men yelling at a little girl that she's not allowed to be sad and that she has to repress it and pretend she's fine :(

[@Cairo198]

@BlindWave grown-up men yelling at 11 year old Riley that she's not allowed to be sad....She just lost her very first home and friends and you're yelling at her that she is not allowed to cry, she has to push back sadness. grownups doing this to kids is just ... ugh

[@bloodyhellmanns]

my boyfriend and i have a theory that the reason why sadness couldn't stop touching everything was because she is having a breakdown for being too contained for a long time. like when you keep your feelings inside for too much and they start to overflow.

[@lilbrownbear]

i feel like it was because of instincts... like that childhood scene where riley was running and fear jumped in because there was a wire in the way, it was his instinct to act on the emotion he is incharge of... similarly in this entire situation tiley needed to feel sad that's why sadness was having the urge to touch everything, act on her instinct and get involved in order to help riley.

[@jdellabeat6245]

It's this idea of repression. All of the other emotions get to freely express and influence Riley through her thought process. It's almost like denying her right to feel sadness is basically invalidating said emotion. Like, it shouldn't be acknowledged. Like, if she exists and her being denied of living through existence (I don't know if that makes sense. But, at least that's my thoughts on it as well)

[@wisewillowgames]

​@@lilbrownbear toxic positivity is a thing and you gotta acknowledge sadness.

[@dlyla]

@@wisewillowgames I was going to say the same thing. Toxic positivity can be a real problem that doesn’t get talked about often. I remember cinema therapy had a great take on it

[@LuminousArc92]

probably more a compulsion to touch them since all those memories are tinged with sadness after moving. Bittersweet

[@dlweiss]

I love that this movie doesn't simplify things by just saying "You need sadness in order to appreciate joy" - it's actually more complex than that. Instead, the movie says, "Sadness is important on its own, because it allows us to process trauma and loss, gives us a way to signal to others that we need help, AND gives us the capacity to feel bad for other people and express empathy."

[@simly5189]

Yes, this! Exactly this!

[@snapgab]

Yeah exactly, I especially love the part of how it's useful for communicating. Letting yourself feel sad when you're all alone isn't enough, you also need to be able to let others know that you're sad, that kind of communication is super important for having real relationships with people.

[@calvinjohnson6242]

Honestly, I think it was the whole point of the movie. And I think a lot of people needed to hear that message.

[@MisterAnonymous1000]

I apologize, but that's exactly what this whole movie boils down too. That doesn't mean that the message is false, however.

[@valeriam6248]

@@MisterAnonymous1000it’s not though, Riley doesn’t need sadness to appreciate joy, joy ultimately let’s sadness run the place because she realises that Riley needs sadness to process what she is going through and to communicate her sadness with others, like what happened with Bing Bong.

[@bob123789456]

I think that the reason her moms main emotion is sadness is not bc she’s sad but bc her sadness has evolved into a more complex emotion: empathy. We see how Riley’s sadness helps bing bong feel better by being empathetic to him.

[@pkb8914]

I think I heard somewhere that the dad’s anger was in charge because it had taken the form of determination.

[@gimmekromer1151]

Then disgust turns into honesty Fear into precaution and joy into bliss?

[@thekingofstillwater5890]

@@gimmekromer1151 Possibly so

[@Loulizabeth]

It made me wonder about what the results are when someone isn't allowed to feel the other emotions. Like if you're never allowed to get angry, does that then lead to apathy, along with with passive aggression, if you're not allowed to feel disgust does that lead to feel you have the right to passivity too and that you're not allowed to have opinions, likes and dislikes. I'm trying figure out what it would be like if you weren't in allowed to feel fear, or joy?

[@peterlewis2178]

@@pkb8914 It could also just be that he's more emotionally repressed, since he's a man. Society tells men not to express their emotions, and anger is an easier emotion to access, plus an emotion that society judges men less for expressing. There's a reason why so many men react with anger so much.

[@MTTT19]

I can understand the scene where Bing Bong disappears being many peoples saddest moment in the movie. But the scene that really makes me cry is when Riley comes home and breaks down in tears about being homesick

[@verbalbbq7976]

For me too. Specifically that moment where she stops sobbing and takes a deep breath while hugging her parents. Such an intimate, powerful, relatable and emotional moment

[@amyperaltiago]

Yes. That was the scene that made me actually tear up. Its such a beautiful scene.

[@Shythalia]

Yeah, me, too. I just didn't like Bing Bong that much. xD Sorry, everyone.

[@Pharaohstheif]

Both scenes make me cry, though the reason the bing bong scene makes me cry is less to do with him specifically and more just...me grieving some of my own imaginary friends.

[@Nekotaku_TV]

It's great because it shows that sadness is important to show.

[@Mr_Vorland]

As someone with a history of depression, this movie is hands down the best representation of what it feels like. Being sad is at least an emotion that you can understand and react to, depression is just....nothing. It takes over every other aspect of your personality until you're just kind of a hollow shell shuffling through life. Great job Pixar.

[@lgoamity]

I'd just posted that if Pixar didn't cut away to the "emotions" this could easily have been a PG-13 or R examination of Riley's decent into a mental crisis... The various clips and discussions of this movie from just what Riley sees/does in the Outside World can be very chilling.

[@kaledmasterme]

This. Exactly this. This is why Pink Floyd became something of a lifeline to 11 year old me suffering depression, having this one thing that I could relate and react to, like someone had encapsulated and understood what was going on for me.

[@robertwinslade3104]

That recent movie Everything Everywhere All At Once also did a fantastic job of representing depression, this time using the concept of the multiverse

[@ss.surprise]

That is certainly ONE of the manifestations of Depression - where apathy takes over and empties out your every feeling. But there are other forms of it where you can still feel other emotions, but feelings of helplessness may still be crushing. You may still have access to anger which can make you feel less like you are spiraling out of control or sadness that overwhelms you and makes life feel like it is nothing but pain but not joy, so be stuck in a cycle of lashing out/breaking down crying. You may be able to feel joy but not be able to maintain it when you are alone as your head fills with noise of how worthless you are, how much people hate you, how you should just die.

[@jennyk5753]

How I interpreted depression was Joy falling into the void and not coming back up.

[@ShinigamiSamaH]

It definitely took me a bit to realize what Sadness was trying to do at the start when she started touching memories and turned them sad. It's the child natural instincts trying to process emotions and memories and recalling the good times, which naturally would turn into melancholy/sadness of wanting to go back to that time.

[@Linator4]

It basically represented nostalgia. I liked how they did that & how it took Riley not wanting to let go of the possibility of making more memories with her family.

[@TriXJester]

This movie actually helped my own younger cousins understand more what I was going through when my own depression was at it's worse. There were times where I couldn't get off the couch and one of my youngest cousins who was around 5 or 6 at the time came over to m and whispered "Are you all greyed up?" and when I nodded she got me all her stuffed animals, favorite snacks, and had my aunt put on a movie and she got up on the couch and cuddled with me all afternoon. Later that day when she saw me smiling said "Good, being yellow and blue is better than grey" and I have thought about that ever since.

[@StronkKronk16]

@@jiji7250 I wouldn't say that it's either easy or difficult to get depression, that's like saying that it's either easy or difficult to get cancer. Both are fairly common, a lot of people get them, but nobody is guaranteed to get them, there's nothing you can do to completely negate the chance of getting them, and there's no real cure to either. But similar to how a person can get cancer from a combination of bad genetics and being exposed to dangerous materials, Riley gets depression through a combination of going through a major change in her life and the fact that nothing really goes well for her after this change. Add the fact that she is quite literally unable to feel happy *or* sad, it's not a very good time for her.

[@steviehills4256]

Cinema Therapy said it best, there is a type of love that is only experienced through sadness & a type of joy that is only experienced through grief. Rewatching this movie now hits different. A really close friend of mine passed 2 years ago of cancer & every happy memory I have of her is coloured in blue. But that's what makes them beautiful.

[@marahbaker8615]

I absolutely ADORE Cinema Therapy

[@hellopeople6138]

As someone who grew up with severe depression as a child, I really appreciate the movie not demonizing sadness. I feel like especially when you're younger, you're told that being sad isn’t valid emotion because you're ‘ too young to have anything to be sad about’. that kind of stuff can make you bottle up a lot of emotions which can be really unhealthy. When you're a kid and you get depression, it can feel really confusing because you don't know why you're having such big emotions. With Riley, she ended up being numb to all of her emotions which is kind of how I was before I finally went to therapy

[@IsThisThePrizeIveWaitedFor]

People always tell kids, don’t be sad, or don’t cry. Sadness is always demonized instead of acknowledged

[@brendaleeirizarry1724]

Something I noticed was that every emotion was designed with just their exclusive color but Joy's hair is blue. So I took that as you need a little sadness to really appreciate and understand joy.

[@idunnnielsenhatling2185]

Her aura is blue too! :)

[@jennv2948]

Disgust also has a little purple

[@idunnnielsenhatling2185]

I'm a psychology teacher, and I use this movie in class every year as we learn about how memories and emotions work! It's actually based (mostly) upon actual theory (although simplified a lot). Emotional maturation and learning how to cope with emotions is something a lot of my kids struggle with. Loved your reaction as always :D

[@ANameToGoBy]

Yeah, I believe in early productions they had over twenty different emotions but because of how overwhelming it'd be character wise, they just simplified it to Joy, Anger, Sadness, Fear, and Disgust. Plus most emotions could be SOMEWHAT simplified to the core five!

[@idunnnielsenhatling2185]

@@ANameToGoBy The emotion characters are based on Paul Ekman's theory on fundamental emotions, in which he categorized 6: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust and surprise (which was omitted from the movie). All other emotions are called complex or composite emotions :)

[@idunnnielsenhatling2185]

@Furries are gay Some do, yeah. Emotional maturity has nothing to do with age, but with experience (and also your genetics). Just look at the dad in the movie: his "main emotion" is anger, probably as a result of his upbringing. A lot of boys and men are taught this idea that you shouldn't show your emotions, and supress them, unless it's anger because that's masculine.

[@chihirofujisaki6479]

My psych teacher used this movie too my sophomore year!

[@docbrown538]

I saw someone point out that riley's parents' emotions are good at working as a team. While Riley's emotions conflict a lot and don't work together as well. Adults' emotions are (usually) more stable, kids' emotions are a little more chaotic. Its a subtle but great metaphor for emotional stability.

[@kavtoM]

Cinema Therapy did an episode on this movie. Apparently a lot of it, while simplified for children's understanding, is actually how our minds work.

[@SuperDora150]

I love their video about this movie

[@MeyaRoseGirl]

I love that core memories can "change color" years after they originally happened based on whatever is currently happening in your life. Or from finding out new information that you didn't know at the time. Memories of a loved one are tinged blue when that loved one dies because, joyful as the memories may be, they're tainted by the fact that the person is now gone. However, despite the fact that they're tinged blue, the yellow in them is all the brighter because hindsight makes you recognize how wonderful that time really was.

[@Kiraj8de]

The happy/sad combo memories really make sense with loss. All of the happy memories get a touch of sadness when you remember. The definition of bittersweet.

[@nathaniellee5277]

35:31 BLIND WAVE HOW COULD YOU??? Joy’s revelation about the importance of sadness is one of the best parts of the movie!

[@peachberry9774]

I just love how sadness starts touching everything and wants to start driving. Riley needs to express unhappiness about the move, she's not doing well and the more joy and the rest keep her from making Riley feel sad or upset, the more she loses control and makes more things sad. Pushing down an emotion doesn't make it go away

My favorite little detail that I don't see anyone talking about is how some of the emotions have one main color, but Joy has blue hair and eyes to show her connection to sadness as a feeling and Disgust has a purple ascot cause that feeling comes from fear. I've seen this movie so many times, and I only realized the Disgust one recently so props to the Pixar character designers for coming up with that

It's interesting to see how each emotion has what's called a crippling overspecialization : each is an expert for the emotion they embody (obviously) but they utterly suck at making Riley feel anything else. During the dinner argument, Disgust only manages to trigger a sarcastic answer when pretending to be Joy ; Fear triggers insecurity and anxiety ; and Anger triggers agressivity and irritation.

[@spaceshiplewis]

Riley's brain is still very young and developing. These are the very basic aspects of emotion. In a technically more mature and wiser brain, Joy would develop into Appreciation, Sadness into Empathy, Disgust into Judgement, Anger into Discipline, and Fear into Insight and they all work together for the betterment of the human. But also emotions can work together like Joy and Sadness to express a feeling of comfort or love. Disgust and Anger can work together to express disappointment or loathing. Also Joy and Anger can work together to express revenge or justice, in terms of passion. Real human brains are of course not perfect and carry a whole lot more Core Memories and Islands of Personality that change color and break all the time. The idea of an emotion pressing a button but then it doesn't correlate to the same emotion would result in a mixed brain signal. For example: If Riley had Synesthesia, it may look like when Fear and Joy work together in an atypical way. Fear would be frantically asking for more information about broccoli and Joy decides to combine colors and taste in order to make Fear happy. Fear in his panic accepts the color and adds it to the knowledge bank, now the color purple is connected to broccoli. Fear and Joy are then both satisfied with the solution they found and that brain signal of taste and sound are interconnected. Riley would then be positively sure that she hates the color purple because seeing purple to her would in no doubt taste like broccoli and broccoli is gross. This movie is obviously very simplified, however, it is a great starting point for better appreciating your own and other's mental health.

I love this movie so much. It really shows how important are all the emotions for us and even though “sadness, anger or fear” are the emotions people use to avoid. There’s nothing wrong on see some situations on the bright side, but also it is healthy and natural to let you feel other emotions and not just ignore them and force yourself to be happy. In this case Joy is avoiding Riley to start grieving (yes, moving out is a process of grief) about moving to another city, away of the place she called home her whole life and all her friends. As a child’s therapist this movie is perfect to teach children about the importance of the emotions and how to recognize them but not let them to take over of all your life.

When Inside Out came out, I was only 16, so it only been two years since we moved and when I watched it, it just brought up so many emotions that I didn’t realize were still buried so deep. I was crying so hard in the movie theater that day, and I knew I was in for it at the beginning when the emotions were screaming as the family was getting all of their stuff packed up.

I know some processes in neurodivergent brains are different, but at least for autism and adhd the idea of the core emotions stands. Certainly what is different is how memories/experiences get processed, for example routines don't get reinforced as well through repetitions. Negative input also has more staying power, leading to things like rejection sensitivity. The way the emotions are expressed can also be different, like stimming for happiness.

[@unforeseenidiot2254]

Man I’m so happy you reacted to this, Rick’s conversation gave me an interesting idea of a sequel about the mind of someone on the autistic spectrum, I don’t know that would be interesting.

[@where_is_my_money_now]

Her emotions as a kid to me seems like primary colors, they can be mixed with other colors and create something else. Sarcasm was produced in an attempt for Disgust pretending to be joy. For the parents, their emotions have evolved and I think it's a good representation that we have that dominant emotion in all of us and even if it's not sadness, it not that all negative. For the mother, sadness being in charge doesn't mean she's always sad. It's more on sadness already evolved to become empathy just like how its shown during that argument. She was the one who was trying to be more understanding or acknowledging of Riley's feeling. The father on the other hand with Anger being in charge, well that emotion actually evolved to Authority. He's not always mad but since Anger is usually considered as a strong feeling, and of conviction and with how it was portrayed in the film, Authority was in charge to show how to discipline Riley. Anyway, it's my first time watching your reactions. Looking forward to more :)

This movie, and it's messages, were so well crafted. There are so many layers and deep messages. My favorite one is with Bing Bong. As a kid, we create an imaginary friend so we will have an ideal companion. Someone who will like everything we like, support us unconditionally, and always be there for us. At the end, in the memory dump, Bing Bong realized that he was, literally, holding Riley back by insisting on being real to her. So he supported her by letting go, allowing her to remember how to be happy. Personally, I don't think that means Riley will never remember him, as there will still be memories of him, for awhile anyways. But I think that he will no longer feel real to her. She will remember her him as a figment of her imagination. A pleasant set of memories, and nothing more. And for me, that feels even sadder than forgetting him. Another subtle one was when Disgust gets Anger to burn open the window. I interpreted that as Riley, subconsciously, being disgusted at how useless her anger was, and used that disgust to channel her anger into making a, literal, breakthrough to allow her to let joy and sadness back into her life.

The sequel has been confirmed by Disney and it has also been confirmed that we will see new emotions.

Why do I have the feeling it's going to be crap?

Anxiety, Embarassment, Envy and Ennui as the 4 new emotions confirmed on the new movie poster

Regardless of what everyone thinks about this movie, I absolutely loved it. ❤️ This film had amazing animation, gorgeous music, and fantastic storytelling. I cry almost every time I watch Inside Out. 😭 It does show some lessons that it’s ok to let emotions take over in the deepest, darkest, and hardest of times of our lives. In the words of a great KZbin critic: In order for you to not like this movie, you have to have no emotions. 🙂 My favorite Pixar film in recent years! 😁❤️

[@besupaaa]

I LOVE the fact that you write things down while watching. 😊

[@santangelogaia19]

Why you hated sadness in the beginning?? I was 14 when I first saw this movie in Church and I understood immediately that the problem was the arrogance of JOY!! 😂😂

I watched it in 2015 as soon as it came out and it had such a big impact on me! Remembered it for years to come. I am so amazed by the imagination, creativity and storytelling of the production team of this movie. While watching I didn't paid enough attention that all the memories contained only one emotion and when at the end the core memory was both sad and happy at the same time, I felt that in my soul and even gasped very loudly. It made such a perfect sense! Every memory we have always consists of more than one emotion. I cried so much when we lost Bon Bon and for a little while I thought why we should have lost it? Then I realised that loosing our imaginary friends is also a part of us growing up. It should remain a distant memory, but it shouldn't have a strong impact on us anymore. Despised sadness so much, thought why she was so stupid! Knowing that it is just a cartoon, just a plot, but that taught us that without sadness you can not possibly realise and remember happiness as well as give yourself time to reboot and let some painful thing go. 10/10 movie. Once again I amazed by Pixar

John Ratzenberger lived and worked in England for a while before Cheers made him familiar to audience. So he can be seen doing lots of "bits" in movies filmed in the UK, especially if they happened to need an American accent.

[@Commander_Shepard.]

50:25 I love that Rick mentioned Psychonauts. It's such an amazing game series. :D

[@Who_is_Toast]

This movie has begun to mean so much to me. When it first came out, I wasn't a big fan since I couldn't relate to it. Though, once I grew older and became depressed, I started to always cry to it. It's so relatable it hurts.

[@midgetwars1]

Rick's Joy definitely has no lag when watching B99.

[@CJGospel]

"Maybe he will come back and be more powerful than you can ever imagine"". That cracked me up so much! Lol! 😂

[@SunBeeSmoked]

It’s great that joy only changed when she herself had a genuine moment of sadness when she lost bing bong. That’s when she realized you can’t always be happy. That happiness isn’t always appropriate and that sadness is necessary to feel. She understood that she had to to feel sad and that she should feel sad in that moment. That’s when she understood Riley’s grief. What sadness said to bing bong, “they took away something you love and it’s gone forever” is exactly what happened to Riley (and all her emotions), it happened to bing bong, then it happened to joy directly.

[@dm_dude]

I like that there a mixed emotion memories. Because there is a lot more than just these 5 emotions. A mix of joy and sadness would be melancholy.

[@samcoops]

the way that bingbong dump scene will always have me in a chokehold 😭

[@Skye_Writer]

What everybody misses is that Joy, Sadness, and the rest don't determine whether Riley feels what she is feeling; they are manifestations of what she is feeling. Just like at the end during the credits when the grocery store girl's emotions say. "What are we mad about?" "Idk, whatever Troy is mad about." Sadness was *compelled* to touch those memories because Riley was feeling sad and she needed to express it.

[@jessc.994]

Great reaction! I love this movie so much. It does a great job depicting depression and toxic positivity.

[@carlosfer2201]

This is my favorite Pixar movie. I'm so happy you guys got to see it like this in a video.

[@williamfincher2260]

A lot pf people feel as if sadness is the enemy. When they repress it for too long, it can be damaging to their mental health and they can become unable to feel happy, and eventually become depressed.

[@Nicoleapanda]

Rick: “ oh man we are playing fallout “ I literally burst out laughing, that was one of the funniest things ive heard all week.

[@SHAKEDDDDDDDD]

i love how they're all like "we gotta kill sadness" and Aaron, that watched it already. is Jim-in-the-Office

12:06 Circle of Sadness, prequel to Triangle of Sadness

[@CaptainJ62]

Man, I didn’t know I needed to let out some emotions today, but this reaction to this movie let me know I did. It’s not a fun thing, but it’s good to do every so often, making sure to process and accept the emotions along the way. Also, the “GIRL! GIRL! GIRL!” joke might be the best joke Pixar’s ever made.

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

Hadn't realised you lot hadn't seen this yet. Very excited you saw it, and I loved your entire post film discussion. Such a fantastic story for reflection, and chewing over with other people.

[@eXponentia]

This is easily my favourite pixar movie. Such a fun concept, my favourite joke in all pixar movies (facts and opinions are the same) and just an all around great story.

[@helloemma]

One of my favorite movies of all time! I'm so glad you guys got to watch it and react to it.

[@oriyanbarnes]

This movie made me cry in theaters 😭🥺 It is so important and they showed psychology + brain terms and concepts so well I love the message and awareness of toxic positivity here. We need sadness, sadness isn't bad. Joy is the "villain" here essentially, her not being able to accept sadness and trying to avoid and prevent it just caused trouble. Because you can't push away sadness, sadness is natural to feel- it's good that we're feeling sad, the alternative of not feeling anything is much worse. When sadness wasn't there and the board turned grey that was her feeling numb to it all. Cinema Therapy have an amazing video about this movie

[@MARYWTHER]

Yeah, I always find it really funny (in a sarcastic way) when people blame Sadness for what happens at the beginning of the movie, when in fact, the problem occurs when Joy cannot accept that a core memory could be sad. Joy fighting tooth and nails to erase that core memory would have had desastrous consequences on Riley just as much as taking her joyful memories away, that's the point. I'm actually pretty bumped that the movie didn't make it a point to have Joy bring the sad core memory back to headquarters as well.

[@oriyanbarnes]

@@MARYWTHER exactly! And she did bring it back to Headquarters, she gave it to sadness but we didn't see them put it back where it belongs

[@CorinaStadler]

I find it funny that Eric said he'd take the role of anger, since he said he's not a very angry person himself, but the other three "castings" made sense to me, haha!

[@jopiter8]

Great reaction It’s such a great movie I don’t think people really get it that even the small things… are ALL RILEY. People get mad at sadness but it is Riley who is feeling sad that she is not in Minnesota anymore. That is why sadness keeps touching everything because Riley is overwhelmed with sadness. And even like when the three emotions are discussing if going back to Minnesota is a good idea is literally just Riley thinking and pondering herself if that would be a good idea. She is angry. Amazing movie.

[@Cairo198]

Exactly. Riley is sad and grownup men are yeIIing at her that she's not allowed to be.

[@Skorpio96]

I absolutely love this movie, and even more I love how serious this discussion was and just how important movies like this are for not just children but adults too. It's the magic of Pixar that bring these ideas to wide audience on a level we can all talk about. It's so awesome that you guy watched this and enjoyed it

[@celinelia8127]

Sadness was just doing her job. She was touching the memories bcs being sad was natural in that situation. They logically become sad after moving away from a happy home.

[@jaakumitsukai8682]

Pixar must have made a deal with an extradimensional entity for the Bing Bong and the Pit of Despair scene to get me every single time i see it. Every time.

[@relictk9469]

0:05 Eric???

[@dzakaprd]

Bing Bong is one of the best pixar characters ever made.
