Original Movie: Inside Out

[@MrChava54]

As someone who went through terrible depression, the console going black and them saying the line, "we can't make Riley feel anything" hit so stupidly hard.

[@simonO712]

I know right?

[@ricardobautista2141]

Same here. I was not expecting to be hit so hard and relate to a Pixar film so much, especially since I was 25 when I first watched it lol. I love this movie so much.

[@Z1gguratVert1go]

Sadness is who can keep depression in check.

[@aaronbrandon6729]

😭

[@MrChava54]

@@Z1gguratVert1go I can understand what you mean. But for me, the console going black and them saying that line summed it up into, "Depression isn't sadness. Depression is the absence of emotion."

[@NNY619]

I have an autistic child who was 8 when this came out. She had a very difficult time understanding, explaining, and expressing her emotions. We had always loved Pixar and took her to see this in theaters. It was the best thing we could’ve done for her. The personification of each emotion helped her to understand each one. She was able to tell us what was going on in her own head by using each character as if they actually existed in her mind. Thanks to this movie, we were better able to understand our child. We mentioned this to her therapist, who at the time had never heard of the movie. After she watched it, the hospital started incorporating the characters in their therapy sessions, and still do to this day.

[@brandonbullington]

I have autism as well, and even I had a difficult time understanding my emotions. When I was about five or maybe six years old, I would watch Toy Story and Toy Story 2 a lot, and when I got angry as a kid, I would sometimes quote Woody and sometimes even the Prospector. I’m really glad this movie worked out well for your daughter. Hopefully, she’ll understand her emotions better.

[@arandomnamegoeshere]

I've seen a lot of mental health professionals heap praise on this. Ratatouille explained the world of food. Inside Out did the same for mental health.

[@brandonbullington]

@@arandomnamegoeshere pretty amazing how Disney Pixar movies teach some pretty good life lessons.

[@AnaReginaNica]

As a psychologist with autism myself, I must say this movie also helped a lot of non-autistic people to better understand their own emotions as well. Culturally, we live in a society that strongly values joy (even a toxic or false one) and heavily repress everything else, sadness in special. We don't have the "right" to grieve over anything, soon someone will invade and say "don't cry", or "don't be sad", or "look at how fortunate you are next to X, Y and Z", and many other (honestly?) very toxic statements to invalidate our sadness. All people need to cry, need to feel all their emotions, there is no "bad" emotion, and this movie was brilliant when adressing Joy's and Sadness' conflict and how it affected Riley's life. I was very fortunate, watched it when it was still in the big screen (I was in University, and actually could discuss this movie in classes), and used it in my sessions ever since. It made my job easier when it's time to explain the emotions to patients. PS: Sorry for my wonky English, it's not my first language.

[@Bill_the_curious]

​@@AnaReginaNica You may find this letter to my friend a kind of acceptance of sadness.: -- When the day comes, either from age or otherwise, that my final heart beat has come, and I can no longer speak to you, no longer hug you, no longer listen to your words or hear your voice, remember that I had a long and active life. Not all that I wished, but all that I could contain in such a short number of years. I have a family that loves me, a long history of people who called me a true friend., and on so many occasions I passed along some happy thoughts in the lives of others, as you have done. -- Hold onto those words, when words turn into quiet echos in your heart. It is a privilege that we have, to feel the grief of a loss. It is a human right, to hold onto a love that once was in our daily life. The privilege of being sad helps us to see what really matters. Should the world take you from me first, I will hold you in my own heart, as I hold my late father's life, even now.

[@_-NatureMations-_]

I love how Sadness is portrayed in this. She's not a bad character, she's simply doing what she was made to do, and she isn't really sure why. She touches the old memories because that's how sadness works, happy things become sad when they're gone. Other characters try to ''bottle her up'' and it ruins everything, makes it all worse, and causes depression. When sadness is back, joy can come back too. If everything was happy all the time, we wouldn't appreciate it.

[@JaggerG]

I kinda like that she says sorry, and then just continues being herself. She really feels bad for upsetting others. But she doesn't simply get to decide to be different. She's Sadness. If others don't like it, that sucks for everyone, but too bad, she's there for good.

[@adela122]

‘Happy things become sad when they’re gone’ damn, I never put that together until I read that…

[@RJay207]

The element of this movie that a lot of people tend to overlook is the concept of "toxic happiness". You can't be happy all the time without repressing a LOT of emotions. And speaking of emotions, I LOVE how NONE of the emotions are actually depicted as "bad" emotions.. They're ALL looking out for Riley, like how they said Fear keeps her out of trouble, and that Anger is just very passionate about things on Riley's behalf. It really validates people's emotions by depicting them as helpful things that can "misfire", rather than forces out to get us and we should fight. There's just SO many layers to this. I honestly believe that this is a "teaching movie". Everyone should see this as it can enlighten a LOT of people to concepts in mental health by personifying emotions rather than just using words and abstract concepts. It's really at a genius level of film-making.

[@Temujin1206]

Yep, particularly a lot of people don't notice that it's actually Joy rather than Sadness who causes everything to go so wrong. Things aren't exactly going too well beforehand but the main issue comes when the sad core memory appears, Joy's toxic positivity causes her to try and prevent it from becoming a core memory, which is how all the other core memories fall out and get sucked into Long Term with Joy and Sadness, causing the entire depressive episode and the fallout. Up to that point Riley is feeling sad a fair bit (quite reasonably under the circumstances) but is still functioning fine, it's the toxic positivity from Joy (and the Mam) that turns it into a depressive episode which send Riley's feelings out of control and impair her ability to function.

[@joshuawells835]

Yes. All emotions have a time and place and that includes sadness. So long as one emotion does not overwhelm the others, it's all good.

[@muhammadnazrin3390]

One of my fav, animated movie. It handles the topic quite well, from sadness's tendency to touch old happy memories and turning it sad(the sad feeling of when you reminisce days gone by) and how depression isn't and equivalent of overwhelming sadness but in essence a complete void of emotion, where you cant force yourself to feel anything except numbness and apathy.

[@Metzwerg74]

very well put into words...

[@PacificEgg]

I wish people stop hating on sadness. Shes literally the most important character.

[@wonkvii7008]

fr!! the brain was literally trying to make Joy realize that

[@NunnyNugget]

To be fair, in the words of the screenwriters the first act is basically made to brainwash you into thinking joy is right even though she has a really messed up way of thinking really. So, from her perspective Sadness is just an obstacle, someone who is kind of there to mess everything up and not much else. But throughout the film we slowly get to see more and more of why Sadness is essential for everything to work, and why she’s just completely misunderstood really. The film tricks you into thinking she’s annoying at first so you can experience the literal emotional rollercoaster and go on the same journey joy did, coming to really appreciate sadness by the end.

[@troypreston1998]

I have learned that there is such a thing as toxic positivity.

[@marauderdz]

@@NunnyNugget The film really does do a brilliant job of misdirecting you into thinking (at first) that Joy is always right and Sadness is always wrong. To the extent that those of us who know that's wrong assumed at first that the film was going to promote toxic positivity, because so many Hollywood films do exactly that.

[@degov5]

It's a good misdirection from the writers. Also, how often are people told in their lives, "don't be sad," or "don't cry about ___,"when sadness is a very important emotion to process.

24:08 "She needs to express that emotion. She can't shut down and _hide_ from them. She needs to _feel_ them." And now, you've _got_ it. That's the realization Joy just had. If she's going to be in charge, then it's not about keeping Riley _happy._ It's about keeping her emotionally _healthy._

The "I miss Minnesota" line made me cry. When I was about to turn 8-years old, my dad got a job transfer. We moved from Minnesota to Iowa. Plus my parents were divorced, my mom stayed in Minnesota, we were in Iowa. "I miss Minnesota" was something I said many time. It really brought back the memory of some tough days in growing up. (Funny thing, when you live in northern Minnesota, even Iowa winters feel mild. So, I even related to the weather joke from the teacher.)

[@neilbiggs1353]

One thing I love is that there is no big external 'trauma' that hurts Riley, it's a mix of a big life event and other little details. It really grounds the film to me, and I wonder if it helps some kids process what they're going through. The Cinema Therapy video on this film is excellent

[@davidmcleod5133]

Agreed. Society tends to treat people who suffer from depression as weak or phony if the source of their trauma isn’t something over the top like sexual abuse or wartime PTSD.

[@neilbiggs1353]

@@davidmcleod5133 You know, I hadn't thought about messages to adults in this film, but yeah, I'd agree 100%. It's similar to where I feel like the people moaning about the rumours of Inside Out 2 possibly talking about Riley's sexuality could do with a film doing exactly that. It's hard for people who don't know a homosexual person to get the anxieties and traumas that they suffer through at puberty. From a film making and storytelling purpose, it's almost the perfect film to try and communicate that

[@Sizzlik]

True that. Moving citys/schools and leaving old good friends behind can be "traumatizing" for a lack of a better word. Not the end of the world but an emotional rollercoaster for sure.

[@JaggerG]

@@neilbiggs1353 I'm guessing Riley's at least gonna have hetero interest, based on the boyfriend generator gag in the first, but if they have any gay/bi/trans representation even simply as external side characters, that's a good bonus. There are tons of hetero romance movies, but Pixar really does their research, so I'm sure they have plenty of psychology to add that hugely benefits an entire generation of teens, regardless of preference.

[@neilbiggs1353]

@@JaggerG Probably, but it could also play in to the idea heteronormative behaviour - she has a 'boyfriend generator' because of multiple people around her constantly giving that expectation.

I love the fact that the "lead emotions" of the character vary. Riley has Joy, her Mother Sadness and her father Anger but both adults have their emotions under control so it's not overwhelming in normal situations.

[@Selkie_17]

Fr but it's also how for Example Riley is a very happy girl within her deminour she brings joy to those around her. And the mom her leading emotion is Sadness and through her body language and the way she speaks she seems to be more empathetic and emotional to those around her. The dad his leading emotion is anger it makes the "tough love" kinda person the one who is in control of most situations the one who "puts the foot down" I really love how they portrayed those leading emotions especially with the parents because it shoes how despite them having those leading emotions they are still in control of their emotions. With Riley it went into toxic positivity to force herself to feel happy all the time while bottling up her other emotions especially sadness, ugh this movie is so good.

[@postl3]

Inside Out portrays Joy perfectly. Constantly trying to push away sadness and be in the spotlight, that's what our happiness tries to do. But in the end, we realize we need sadness. Also, Joy usually doesn't think before she acts, as seen when she tries to cross the metal rod connecting the islands to the HQ.

[@SirSpuddington]

The animation in this movie is so amazing all the way through. More than just the super creative character design, there's a bunch of little touches that communicate so much with so little. I think the best shot in this movie is when Riley is being embraced by her parents at the moment Joy and Sadness press the memory button together for the first time. Riley's face going from crying to having that faint little smile in that one shot is the emotional climax of the whole story. So much weight of meaning conveyed in such a subtly powerful way. Stuff like that makes Inside Out one of my top 3 Pixar movies, up there with Wall-E and Up.

[@icaine16]

Some of y'all are weird, don't get upset that she disses sadness at the beginning when the movie literally writes her to be trouble because we view the movie from Joys perspective. She is written that way so that she can come in at the end and physically show how sadness is necessary and any emotion can be toxic when misused.

[@LOSFOUFOUP]

I mean, it might be because sadness is the boss in my own head and I watched the movie from HER perspective, but I understood what this was about very quickly, basically as soon as Joy took away the first memory Sadness "corrupted". And I'm not that much older nor am I smarter than people who don't get it until way later. Hell some people older than me don't get it at all. I'm just more sadness than joy, so when people are annoyed at sadness, I'm annoyed at them. This is really upsetting because it shows how the majority of us humans completely fail to understand our own emotions at the deeper level. It's even more upsetting when you consider that said majority either don't give a shit OR think they understand. That stupid reaction against sadness just highlights our failure to understand each other and ourselves.

@@BamaKing-he2gd Wow, that's some messed up interpretation right there. What the fuck, man. I understand thinking like this when you haven't finished the movie yet, but still thinking like this even after you watched it is kinda sad to be honest. Sadness being annoying to some people does not mean she's not useful. She TRIED to be useful from the beginning, but Joy stopped her. So, she absolutely not "became useful in the end". It's more like Joy finally let Sadness do her thing as she should have done from the beginning, and THAT is all that matter. Riley needed to feel sad in order to move on, but Joy was so used to be "the boss" she didn't want to let Riley feel sad even though she NEEDED TO. Also damn I love when people try to make their opinions pass as facts and then cover themselves with the old "every perspective is true" argument. Sadness wasn't annoying, YOU were annoyed at Sadness. Her being useful is not "all that matters", it is all that matters to YOU. Those are perspectives, not facts thank you very much. Check your facts-opinions boxes, please.

[@seanmcmurphy4744]

The way I see it, the problems started 6:41 when Riley's mother asked her to be "my happy girl" to help the family. Riley repressed her natural sadness at leaving Minnesota. This put her into depression, where she couldn't feel any emotions, indicated by the console turning grey, or enthusiasm about any of her previous interests like soccer. Only when she allowed herself to feel her sadness could she recover.

[@richardwallis9374]

Yea really goes into the need for emotional intelligence. Likely to support the father that seems like was carrying a very large load and if he was to be unsuccessful it would cause the family heavy strife. So I get it, it’s a noble notion. But in trying to get the right result you cause unintended consequences.

[@robindude8187]

You went through the typical arc. "Sadness! Stop!" becomes "Oh... we _need_ Sadness." This movie is about two journeys, that of Riley, sure, but _also_ that of Joy... understanding the role Sadness has to play in Riley being healthy and, ultimately, happy. You asked about subtler emotions (like 'determination' or similar). Pixar started with a story cast of about 35... but... you can't make a _movie_ out of that. We're simply not wired to be able to track stories with so many unknown, new people. We are evolved to handle a village, about 100 to 200 people. After that, we lose track, and the only reason you can keep up with so many is that you're _around_ them _all_ the time, so you _know_ them. A movie has a difficult job. It has to introduce you to people you've never met, give you a sense of who they are, _and_ tell a story while they do it. This move had 3 main people, 6 supporting characters, and a bunch of extras, and was about 90 minutes. That means for each of the main people you had a maximum of about 20 minutes to learn who they are while the story goes on, giving 5 minutes each for the supporting cast. Now imagine if it'd been 35 emotions, or 38 total supporting characters. Each one would have less than a minute. You'd get _a_ line, just one, from each character. They may as well be extras at that point, and having them around would just be a distraction. That's why they _had to_ cut it down to a manageable number.

I used to have a teacher who was like that... Sure she was always a bundle of joy, but one day she was laughing while being stuck outside in the rain, was late to pick up her daughter from daycare, surrounded by a bunch of less then happy students and she was also probably getting sick at least she showed all of those signs. We didn't know when we would get away from there since we had to take a ferry who never showed up... at that moment some of us students didn't need "a bundle of joy" we needed someone to take charge of the situation. Normally we only portray depression as negative emotions, but she seemed to just cover everything up with happiness... after growing up i look back on her as a case of "smiling depression" because she seemed broken in so many other ways.

No matter how many times I see this films I will never stop being impressed with how clever the whole thing is. Especially Sadness. She is so annoying but it's exactly how that emotion works in real life because feeling sad is annoying, inconvenient and uncontrollable, just like the character. Nothing Joy does to stop Sadness works because no amount of forced happiness will stop you feeling sad. The only way to deal with it is to accept why you feel sad and work through it. A woman I used to work with in a primary school would use this film to talk to children who were going through a hard time and it really helped them to open up and understand their own emotions and how to deal with them.

That is part of why I love kids. They are not so emotionally messed up yet. And even a sad little one can instantly change to happy.

It’s hard to pick a favorite Pixar film but this is my favorite. It just edges past Up and WallE. Animated emotions.. that drive our vehicle bodies.. and decades of therapeutic psycho babble transformed into an easy to understand, fun and engaging two hour story.. wow. Pixar PHDs do it again. I am going with my mom to see the sequel in theaters. My lead is a pair.. I think my sadness and anger are married.. go figure. Luv the reactions V! ✌️😭😡👍💕 lol

VKunia was on the toxic positivity ride until she watched Inside Out and finally understood sadness❤ Edit: "she cant shut down and hide from her emorions, she needs to express them" you were telling Sadness to go away the entire movie lol

[@itsyourboykhel]

One of the main takeaways that I get from this movie is that suppressing your emotions and thinking that your emotion as a negative and may ruin everything will only make everything worse. We need all our emotions to work in harmony so we can have a good mindset and leave a life full of hope and peace.

[@bubbletrubble9655]

The Pixar crew consulted multiple therapists while making the movie and all 5 main characters are actually the primary emotions of humans give or take thats probably why its also used to help children through emotional distress. For example, alot of times a primary emotion can overpower one's mental state such as too much anger or sadness.

[@Casualtitan08]

This one was probably my first experience with my own emotion and self identity. I was often told at school that boys didn’t cry and this film sorta helped me undo that

When I watched it the first time, Bing Bong's sacrifice hit me hard. Completely unexpected and yet it makes so much sense in the bigger picture - Riley letting go of childish stuff as she grows up. Amazing movie.

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

It's really impressive how well Pixar delivers the message of the story to the audience without them noticing: You dislike Sadness because she "ruins" things but Sadness is not bad, it's part of life.

[@xenomorphbiologist-xx1214]

I would say that’s probably true but there’s a time and a place for it. Sadness the character is legit out of control and can’t stop messing with things, to the point where that causes the conflict of the story. It’s super annoying to watch but maybe that’s just me

Inside Out is a movie that is so important for everyone. The role of Sadness in our lives should and must be acknowledged when we're going through with depression. Sadness carve onto our being so that it could release all the tension that we're all feeling like depression or what we are feeling currently. So Inside Out is very important for everyone especially teenagers who are currently going through with depression I watched Inside Out during the pandemic because that was when I was currently feeling depressed because of various major reasons like family tragedy, unexpected circumstances and more. So when watching Inside Out made me realize why Sadness is very important onto my being to release any tension and feel happy again ❤️

The other really insightful thing about this movie is showing how early primitive childhood emotions are usually just one thing (single color). But then as we get older, life gets more complex and our emotions can get more complex and be a blend of things (multi-color).

[@RigelDeneb172]

Anybody else notice that when Riley expresses anger at the dinner table, her father's first response is Fear who then immediately turns the father's console over to Anger (passion), his primary emotion. This father is terrified by the idea that his little "happy" girl isn't happy. Poor guy, he later tries to make up for being "bad-tempered" by being goofy, which used to bring Riley "joy." The tactic doesn't work because Riley doesn't need joy at that moment. Also, we see how anger can be an outgrowth of fear and how we sometimes express fear by exhibiting anger. This movie is so subtle. It deserves multiple views and close attention.

[@BobTheism]

Genuinely one of the best movies for getting kids thinking with more complexity around emotions. Hell, adults too for that matter. I really love how the movie makes it clear that Sadness is not just an ok emotion, an emotion we're "allowed" to feel, it is absolutely necessary (I also imagine Sadness is my "leader" emotion in my control room). And the part where the console greys over and the emotions can't influence Riley anymore always hits me square in the chest because it is the single best metaphorical demonstration of what depression really is and I've been there. Such a thought provoking movie, I really love it.

[@vuxnut]

heheeh. I know it was a humorous comment, but since it's only a movie and you want Riley to be happy, it made sense to me. I would have tried something different, but then it was a difficult situation. We don't always have to be happy. Sadness is something that makes us contemplate deeper. Hopefully makes us a better person.

[@distinguishedflyer]

While the Toy Story series as a whole is probably the greatest thing Pixar has done - or will ever do - I think this is their best single movie. It could easily have been just a works-only-as-metaphor type of film, but was involving, interesting & fun besides that too. (Not to mention that, given the cast, it's probably the closest we'll ever get to an Office/Parks crossover!) Very glad you got around to this one.

[@FatLittleButterfly]

Inside out could easily become a trilogy that enjoy the success Toy Story had. Growing up through the different stages of life will have an effect on how we manage our emotions

I think you might misunderstand, our emotions are beyond control. Sadness could not help now she felt, we simply are what we are and act out instinctively, which can sometimes lead to regrets. When we get older we can learn to accept who we are and contemplate if we need to change ourselves for the better or not

[@calibadgerdude6082]

The concepts of this movie are both simplified and highly complex, and it really does a good job of showing how our minds and emotions actually work. You can personify all the various neuro chemicals and hormones that make us “feel” emotions into this form, like dopamine, seratonin or adrenaline, and it actually works. It also really shows how these simple concepts of emotions become more complex and evolve as we grow more mature and a balance is found. For example, Mom is run by sadness, but that doesn’t mean that she’s sad all the time. Sadness within her has matured into empathy and compassion. Dad is controlled by anger, but in him it manifests as passion and drive. All these “primary” colors/emotions blend together into the whole spectrum of our emotional well being. It’s interesting that you noted that the emotions all look the same in most people’s heads, but different in Riley’s headquarters. I have two thoughts as to why that is the case. 1, it represents the sense of “self” and those that we see with homogenous emotional representations have a solidified sense of who they are as a person, and Riley hasn’t come to that point in her development yet so appears more scattered. 2, it’s possible that Riley is neurodivergent in some way, perhaps on the spectrum, and so her emotions are more individualistic and don’t work together as well as most people’s do and she has less control of them than others. I don’t know which one, if either of them, is correct but considering what we’ve seen of the sequel when she’s 2 years older, that her emotional personalities are still individualistic, I lean towards the neurodivergence explanation.

The way memories are stored in our heads to keep us alive thus why they are attached to feelings. If we have a strong feeling during the time something happens in out lives our brain will either hold onto it or completely try to block it out for its own survival.

It releases to theaters on June 14th. After a dry rut at the theaters I’m looking forward to it and a couple others coming out in the not-too-distant future.

She was crying and had tears on the orb, and she was wiping off the tear before finding out. The facial animation at the end during the hug. The music changing tone and speed.

[@beterbomen]

I don't know if it's me, but the idea that we have little guys inside of us that control us kinda freaks me out. I also think this movie fails because of that. We are clearly supposed to care about both Riley and Joy, but the very existance of Joy and the other emotions makes Riley's experiences seem less special. It implies that they are what's important, and that Riley is just an emotionless automaton without them. It's clear to me that this isn't what Pixar intended, so maybe there's something I'm not getting. Or maybe I've thought about it too much?
