REACTING to *Inside Out* I AM WEEPING (First Time Watching) Animator Reacts

[@tiafielding]

I remember watching this movie for the first time and thinking "Wow, now there's a way to explain depression to a child." Because that's what it is when all the colors fade and there's next to nothing left. All numbness and no color.

[@whitenoisereacts]

Yeah, it’s beautiful

[@overthemoo]

Not that I actively sought out every comment made online about this movie… but this is the first time I have read that someone saw the story the same way I did; Riley being depressed. She didn’t “have” joy or sadness.

[@tiafielding]

@@overthemoo I may have too much personal experience... :D

[@overthemoo]

@@tiafielding Ditto.

[@sadtitties222]

@@overthemoo Yes, thank you! I'm glad there are more people calling those scenes with the console literally "shutting down" for what is was...DEPRESSION. Riley was shutting down internally to where she wasn't behaving normally and making rash/irrational decisions (taking the bus back home) because that is literally what depression does to you mentally.

[@DAMIENDMILLS]

There is such thing as toxic positivity, and Riley expressed that as a mask for how bad she feels about being in a new environment. It's natural to want to feel nostalgic for the old times. And it's healthy to feel sad.

[@Kingdom_Of_Dreams]

Not sure about toxic positivity, but using joy as a coping mechanism can work for some people to help them move past their more negative feelings. Some people use humor as a coping mechanism, so when they crack jokes at inappropriate moments, it's not because they're being rude, it's because they feel uncomfortable and don't want to shoulder the feeling of sadness. But any therapist would say to let the feelings out by talking about them so you're not harboring negative emotions all the time, because it can mess with your mental health.

[@DAMIENDMILLS]

@@Kingdom_Of_Dreams And the example you gave is appropriate. But that's not what happened in the movie. Not once did she crack jokes or make light of the situation. All Joy ever did was distract Riley and force her to ignore her emotions, not even let any of it out in a humorous way, or even sarcasm. She only focused on just staying happy for her parents' sake. And that right there is toxic positivity. Not letting any negative emotion out once. And because of that, when Joy and Sadness were gone, Riley was out of control. It's Joy's fault for Riley's mistakes. Trying to stay positive for no reason is not healthy.

[@JuanitoEsBonito]

@@Kingdom_Of_Dreams I think toxic positivity refers more to Joy who felt that Riley always needed to be happy and shove sadness into a corner instead of actually dealing with it which is unhealthy while Joy herself isn't inherently toxic and just trying to do what she feels best for Riley her tactics were inherently toxic and even convinced Sadness she was a nuisance at times.

[@melmari9851]

I love how Joy is kinda both the protagonist and the antagonist. She's doing everything with the best of intentions, but she doesn't have the full understanding of why Sadness is even there at first, and so although she's trying to help, her decisions wind up making things worse as time goes on. She's so busy trying to fix what she thinks is the problem, that she kinda becomes the problem. The other three are also working with what amount of understanding they have, which has been partially influenced by Joy.

[@sadtitties222]

@@melmari9851 Exactly, especially the part where you said how the other emotions couldn't even function or even work together because of Joy being gone. She basically ran the roost since the beginning, so it makes sense that the others didn't know what to do without her to tell them what to do. She was the default leader until she realized the importance of Sadness and actual teamwork.

[@memyselfandi7782]

Sadness is COMPELLED to touch it because that's what Riley needs. Joy actually caused the collapse by trying to stop the core memory, mostly because mom asked her to STAY HAPPY.

[@DoranGale]

With everyone posting only their best moments on social media, sadness is too often regarded as an emotion for the weak and those failing at life, but it’s natural for sadness to be woven into our most powerful memories with time, as we grieve what we’ve lost. To quote Vision: What is grief, if not love persevering? Emotional Analysis: Missing/Unbalanced = Disorder All-Island Shutdown = Depression Joy/Joy = Ecstasy Joy/Sadness = Melancholy, Nostalgia Joy/Disgust = Intrigue Joy/Fear = Surprise Joy/Anger = Righteousness Sadness/Sadness = Despair Sadness/Disgust = Self-Loathing Sadness/Fear = Anxiety Sadness/Anger = Betrayal Disgust/Disgust = Prejudice Disgust/Fear = Revulsion Disgust/Anger = Loathing Fear/Fear = Terror Fear/Anger = Hatred Anger/Anger = Rage

[@xxxhyesungxxx]

I kinda disagree. Social media has evolved recently. Showing vulnerability, sadness, depression, trauma, anxiety, etc. is becoming the trend. So much so, that sometimes I think some “influencers” are faking being sad or depressed, which is a great disservice to people who actually have depression. Little inconveniences are now blown up as “traumatic experiences” just to produce content and gather views. It’s effed up.

[@FluffySylveonBoi]

I never cared about what social media thinks of me anyway :)

[@erikperhs_]

I don't think it has to do with social media. Sadness is seen as a sign of weakness since always, specially for men.

[@teslainvestah5003]

I don't think I've ever seen someone as weak just for being sad. But sometimes sad people do very weak and immature things, like lash out at others or assign a lot of blame to whatever is easiest to blame. Caring for hurt people doesn't mean putting up with everything they do.

[@JH-no8sy]

For the record, angry people do those same things. Lashing out at people because things don’t go their way and findings someone to blame for things that they don’t like or can’t accept.

[@spotpz]

I think what impressed me the most about this movie was the sound design. The sound designers had to invent sounds for things that don't naturally have a sound at all. What does memory formation sound like? What does forgetting sound like? The sound designers had to answer these questions in a way that would make sense without any real-world reference. Hats off to them!

[@clarasundqvist6013]

there's a really fun detail in this movie that I absolutely love: all the personality islands collapse pretty easily with barely any action taken by Riley. however, family island is the most steady and it takes several actions by Riley to even shake the foundations, which I think really shows how fundamental her relationship to her parents is. I also love how the new family island is in the middle of all the new ones

[@jackthebeeenthusiast]

Holy shit how have I never noticed that

[@nehankhan1584]

Note how Sadness was the head emotion in mom? That could mean compassion and nurturing. Or on the dark side mom might be dealing with depression. While in Dad’s head, it was Anger. Which constitutes to discipline. Or again on the darker side it could mean he has anger management problems. Another interesting theory I say was the fact that Riley had mixed gender emotions like Joy being female and anger being male. In the parents mind, they were according to gender. Mom had all female and Dad all male. This could either mean that Riley has yet to figure out her sexuality or there is a chance of her being gender fluid. While Joy’s intentions were good, she was becoming toxic. Riley couldn’t have been expected to stay happy 24/7. She would have no personality growth and I’m pretty sure her islands would’ve shut down if this continued resulting in her becoming numb and empty. In the beginning, Sadness has a strong urge to touch the core memories. Because they became nostalgic for Riley. She would look back at them with fondness. Happiness they happened and sad that they ended. Joy kept on preventing that from happening. Love how this movie tackles with emotions!

[@Werealex]

Actually if you look closely in the father's mind even though Joy has a mustache it also has breasts in his mind. I need to watch again but I think Disgust is that way too for him. However I did notice that Riley has mixed gendered Emotions.

[@marette2845]

I think it's just a good representation of a young girl.... Feminity isn't mandatory to being a girl, existing in your female body with any type of personnality is enough on its own! ^^

[@emilyroberts6582]

As a huge psychology nerd I can confirm a lot of this is accurate! Long term memory, core memory’s, and when they are in the “shortcut” those 4 stages etc are real! I found that really cool the fact they go so into detail and make it so accurate! Also as someone who has delt with depression for 5 years, believe me when I SOBBED when Riley was running away and fear said “we can’t make Riley feel anything”. Still makes me cry everytime cause it hits so close to home!

[@Ivy94F]

Its like the movie is structured in such a way that it’s tailored for all of us individually. It hit me hard and ai was so shocked at how I emotionally reacted to this film. Your heart isn’t just breaking for Riley, but for your younger self as well.

[@sawanna508]

The first time I watched the movie I cried threw most of the movie (and I was already an adult at that point). i even cried in the beginning when Riley is a Baby and the parents are just talking to her, not because it makes me sad but it is so touching.

[@wuttatota148]

This movie is one of my favorites. It's the most clever Pixar movie in my opinion. I remember crying a lot the first time i watched it. Also, Joy's design is so good and very memorable and i don't think a lot of people talk about the character designs for this movie. The emotions are designed so well

[@darkmelodies2694]

I remember crying the first time I watched this movie. I was deeply depressed, and it felt so relieving to see the representation of Riley shutting down, because that's how it felt. Seeing Riley's face light up again, even when she was crying, gave me hope that I would feel that way again too. I'm doing much better know, but this movie felt revolutionary when I saw it the first time.

[@Aardydarling]

I manage to hold it together when bing bong dies but when joy gives sadness the memories and she plays them, that makes me cry

[@wiccachu]

31:50 In the credits, the memory orbs of different characters have dominant emotions (see in the background). I didn’t see the teacher’s because the transitions was too fast but I think her dominant emotion is sadness, Riley’s ‘cool kid’ classmate was fear, clown has more sadness memory orbs, driver is mostly anger, dog is mostly joy, cat is mostly disgust.

[@arwen_candl]

I watched this when I was around Riley's age and I cried so much because I could relate to the emotions. I felt that this gave teenagers/pre-teens the complexity lacking in media. I gotta say, rewatching this as a much older teen, I felt this even more because of all the things I felt recently with growing up. I just love this!

[@waywarddirectioner1144]

This movie saved me. I was in a dark severe stage of depression and I got sent to a clinic for it. They showed me this movie while I was there and it totally changed everything for me. It made me see that sometimes you can have that sadness, you’re allowed to feel sad and embrace it. I’m forever grateful for what this movie did to me. 💙

[@DaeDreaming]

It really hits different when you think about it as all the emotions are just acting how Riley is really feeling. At 5:09 when Sadness said "it's like I'm having a breakdown" it's really Riley having the breakdown since she was being overwhelmed & all the memories that used to make her happy were upsetting her. She was trying to overcompensate with Joy, but it wasn't the right way to cope. Neither Joy nor Sadness were wrong in their actions, they were literally just manifesting Riley.

[@moonlitskylight5740]

This is my favorite Pixar movie. I watched it in theaters and to this day relate to it the most. This represents a young version of depression, the beginning stages. And it's surprisingly accurate to real life psychology. Damn it's good.

[@appqpqqpqpaoanews5695]

Yes kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKPJinWXZ56lgKM May I ask what name of the movie in video opinion

[@kay-jay1581]

I love how the emotions just don’t have a default purpose. Joy takes care of Riley and puts her first but if left uncheck she is very selfish. Too much Sadness could be seen as a whiny/tantrum but she brings empathy/sympathy for others. She doesn’t just think about Riley. Fear takes care of Riley, by not getting hurt and perhaps avoid hurting others. Caution and thinking logically is important. Disgust doesn’t just protects for gross/unpleasant things but she brings confidence to Riley and knows how to make judgement calls even if they are wrong or right. Anger stands up for Riley and doesn’t let other people mistreat her, I think it brings bravery to Riley (even if it’s a bad choice like running away) and doesn’t let fear or other emotions control her.

[@DovahkiinMaster172]

Whether I’m watching this film or watching people react to this film, I always cry at Rylee’s break down at the end. It’s so visceral and raw, makes it so relatable to breakdowns I’ve had in my life. I will always adore this movie.

[@DanielSelk]

Isn't it odd people call Joy "emotional" when she cries but not when she shows the other emotions? Anger at sadness, fear with the clown and disgust with the imaginary boyfriend all BEFORE she's sad?

[@carlalussini]

Anger is the only emotion men are socially accepted (by a misogynistic society they've created, mind you) to have, case it's "manly" 🤷🏽‍♀️ so because it is "not girly" it doesn't count.

[@janejanejaney]

@@carlalussini I agree, but I think it's more complex than that, since women too can feel shame for crying that stems from more than just feeling shamed as a "girly girl". [Sorry for the essay, you don't need to read all this lol.] I think everyone is afraid to be vulnerable in front of others, but even when we're alone we shame sadness as a nuisance, like it's needless and in the way of more 'important' things - and therefore we shame ourselves for giving into it and wasting time. I think that's where the misogynistic root ties in, because sadness (around the Romantic period) was associated with the illness of Female Hysteria. And since women were regarded as not having a lot of responsibilities and pressures to be saddened by compared to men, they were institutionalised for being 'irrationally' emotional. Showing sadness was and in some ways still is considered irrational weakness because it was medicalised as a female characteristic, but also because sadness for men was seen as a hindrance to producing necessary capital and material outcomes. Men needed to work, so they couldn't be sad, and that's why Romantic poets were given an especially hard time by the working class and high society - because they weren't generating capital and were too busy dwelling on newly unpacked concepts like melancholy. But even as women play more active roles in society today, we can still shame ourselves for wasting our time with sadness. And I think that's because we ALL now feel pressure to spend our time generating capital and being 'useful' to society in historically masculine terms. So, I think there's more to unpack there between misogyny and capitalism when we think about shame and vulnerability.

[@ma.2089]

@@carlalussini in a way, female rage and sadness aren’t accepted as well. Men can’t be sad either, and in a way they’re told to bottle you their emotions until the only way of letting it out is through anger. Society only seems to accept happiness, which can be very toxic since it wants people to shut up about any pain they might feel.

[@latech7671]

This is for me one of the best animated movies ever made. There is so much detail in this movie, the script is absolutely perfect and most of it is actually based on really realistic behavior (also, because Pixar worked with experts on this movie). The Part I almost like most is that this is the ultimate movie without a villain. There is absolutely no person that is bad in this movie (not even one that is bad first and then turns good). They just don't understand everything yet at worst. And in the end, the message is one that is very important for both Children and Adults as well.

[@luisascorte]

When I first watched this, I was very young so I also couldn't understand the complexity of the mess that was going on with Riley's feelings. Then I turned eleven (Riley's age in the movie) and went through the same mess (depression, yes). And while the stories are not identical, they are extremely similar. I didn't move to another city or try to run away from home, but the situation with a stressed and disconnected father (sometimes), a worried mother trying to be as patient as possible, a hobby almost being destroyed (for me it was dancing), old friendships falling apart, personality crumbling, the feeling of giving up taking over her. All of this happened to me too, so I see myself in Riley. And because of that (even if I'm not a crybaby at all), I can't hold back the tears every time I watch this movie.

[@Tooba-K123]

Awe the tears actually rolling down from your eyes means a lot. One can appreciate this movie the more they watch it. Pixar really knows how to hit you up on your guts. That’s why they are my favourite studio when it comes to concept/storytelling. DreamWorks comes best in action and complexity while Disney comes close to graphics and wonders in their story. That being said I can’t wait for NWH and X3 reaction. Also I would like to recommend Soul, UP, Legend of the guardians: owls of Ga’Hoole, The Adventures of TinTin, Meet the Robinsons, Sinbad, Anastasia, Epic, Wonder Park, Over the Hedge, Shark Tale.

This film and 'Soul' are my favourites from Pixar. Both films helped change my perspective on life and both were incredibly cathartic to watch. It's funny how you guys kept getting annoyed with Sadness at times for trying to touch the core memories, but that's actually what Riley was really feeling. She needed to feel sad and I love that the message of this film showed the importance of expressing the rainbow of emotions we all have. We live in a society that doesn't welcome "negative emotions" and that's why I think there is so much addiction and depression. I truly believe that when we allow ourselves to feel our emotions, we can have more empathy and compassion for other's when they show theirs. That's why that scene where Sadness was able to comfort Bing Bong is one of my favourites. Great reaction as always guys! I'd love to know which one is your primary emotion? For Riley it's Joy. For me, well people have joked that mine is Disgust....and I think I'd have to agree 😂

I love your reaction to “Inside Out”. I love that you guys have compassion for “Sadness”.

[@Skye_Writer]

It's always interesting to watch people yell at Sadness not to touch the memories, as if it was ever her choice. She's only acting on what Riley's emotional state tells her to do. Joy is trying to FORCE Riley to be happy when, in fact, she is completely overwhelmed and totally missing her old home and, yes, sad. Riley's emotional state is not determined by these colorful characters in her head; they are acting upon what she is feeling. Each of them was born out of a new emotional state that Riley was going through as a kid. Btw, GREAT catch on how, out of them all, Joy is the one who just can't seem to bring herself to team up with the others. She considers them to be "negative" emotions that she must overcome and dominate.

this whole reaction was delightful, thank you for doing this and putting some joy into my evening! 🧡

[@ems5454]

I have no words this movie is just so special, thank you for the reaction! I always end up crying even tho I've watched so many times lol

[@sabrina.o]

Thank you for your reaction to this movie! I like the theory that Riley is still young and doesn't know or didn't really think about her sexuality and all this stuff, so she has male and female emotions.. Her mom has only female emotions controlling her and her dad only has male emotions controlling him..

[@whitenoisereacts]

Yeah, I think that’s true. Also puberty. That changes a lot for boys and girl emotionally and creates a real divide. Guy girl friendships before that point mean nothing, they are much more complicated after

[@sawanna508]

By assigning different genders to the emotions it is also easier to give them a personal identity that would be harder in my opinion if they were all female and that alos makes it easier to connect with them.

[@safia0077]

literally my comfort creators i love you guys and your reactions so much !!!!!!

[@heromaniacz]

Joy was glowing, I think, because she is a core emotion.

[@christiejanvier8476]

This movie literally made me cry when I watched it, such a creative coming of age animation🤎 The animation "Soul" is really good too, you guys should react to it!

[@isomABC]

This movie is profound, and you’ll gain more insight with each time you watch it! It’s really interesting and has had a profound impact on the Autism community as a tangible teaching tool for what emotions are and why they happen.

[@aimeemarie5462]

I went into this movie not really expecting much and by the end scene was openly weeping. Pixar and Disney ALWAYS gets me

[@neontyler6663]

The emotions in this movie is so accurate as a teenager, we’ve been there. Its painful but need to accept and face the life. And the idea of this is super unique! Masterpiece

[@xxprettylittlethings]

Been dying for you guys to do this one!!! So excited to watch

[@sangriad.938]

I also watched it years ago and I for some reason didn't get much. I guess I was too young or didn't pay attention. Watching it again with you guys was awesome

[@summermetcalfe5236]

i cry at bing bong disappearing and riley crying to her parents at the end every time 😭

[@vighneshpillai7996]

This is my favourite 3d animated film ever and 2nd favourite of the genre after "Grave of the Fireflies". Such rare gems comes so seldom which changes us and makes us grow emotionally.

[@grassfedmilkmomma]

This is my favorite cartoon. Joy and Sadness together make bittersweet. Which Joy didn't understand. Then with them out of HQ Riley has a higher chance of being put into a fugue state which does happen at the end.

[@mcorbs]

This movie never fails to make me cry. I was 18 when this came out, and it was really not a good year for me. I was really stressed out with school, my parents made me stay for form 6 when I wanted to go straight to uni, so I was there when I didn't want to be. I was dealing with health issues, my mom was obsessed with my weight, and she put me on diet pills, I was not on good terms with my family, especially my mom. Overall I was feeling very overwhelmed by life, and was the most depressed I'd ever been, and I just felt angry all the time, like every little thing would trigger me. I went to see this with my friends and I just felt like I was Riley. It just really resonated with what I was going through, and it helped me to understand what I was feeling. So I took my parents to watch it, and eventually we had a conversation about everything that was going on, and how I was feeling, and we were able to actually communicate and air out everything. It was the first step to patching our relationship. So this movie really holds a special place in my heart, because it quite literally saved my life.

[@where_is_my_money_now]

There are times in our lives when we remember the good times we had and it can just make you cry. Just like what Riley felt here, her core memories were all happy, but when things in life changes, looking back to those happy memories can make you cry, coz you can't go back to re-live them. Remembering, the sad things can sometimes make you smile, esp when you've gone far in life. When you've moved on. When you're succeeding in life and you remember those sad moments, it makes you appreciate what you have. Everyone reaches a breaking point in their life, atleast once. Disregarding that sadness is toxic positivity. It's like being in denial. We are humans, we get hurt physically and so emotionally as well. So there's nothing wrong about acknowledging that feeling. It is there same with anger. I feel like those who feel the need to always being positive, denying their anger nor their sadness have the fear of never getting out of it. Coz there's that danger. But when there's too much emotion suppressing, one day, it can just explode to the point when you'll have no control over it.

[@Lofieloves]

You guys should see Over The Hedge!! Its a super underrated dreamworks movie but its honestly so fun!

[@madisonwalter4233]

At 13:19 is where you see the pizza planet truck! It’s in the yellow memory in the front of joy

[@Lauren-np9um]

Ninetailedbrush being an empath the entire time feeling bad for sadness was fully me during my first time watching this 😂 my mom and sister were so angry with sadness and I just felt bad for her

[@williamozier918]

There was a, for its time, groundbreaking sitcom called Herman's Head that was this same exact idea but in the mind of a young man in his 20s. If you liked this I recommend checking it out, you can watch it free on KZbin.

[@mommy2Xful]

I loved Herman’s Head!

[@AnaReacts]

Turning Red was such a cute Pixar film! Would love to see you guys react! No pressure!

[@ann-kathrin77]

I never see the movie before. I have to watch it. I really like what I saw in the Reaction. Thanks

[@absolutlyrandomn]

every cat owner ceckled when the inside the cats brain came, no order, no thoughts, only going with the flow and the ocasional zoomie

[@deepalall647]

I read the title and immediately clicked 😁 Thoroughly enjoyed the reaction! ☺

[@cjjackson2423]

Idky Everytime Riley cries it makes me tear up Everytime like damn 😭🤦🏾‍♂️

[@brianalambert1192]

I always have a lot to say about this movie so I'll try and keep it short. I use this movie as a kind of emotional release valve. The more emotional of a reaction I get, the more I've been dealing with, the more I need to let out. But after watching it, I reach an emotional catharsis. For me the things in the movie that get me are of course the scene where Riley's crying with her parents, but also when Joy has been forgotten. Seeing the memories of this happy girl fading away gets me every time and then the icing on the cake with the happy memory that Joy rewinds. I do think this movie has several wonderful metaphors for depression. Media and pop culture often makes the mistake of portraying depression as too much sadness. But there are several metaphors in this movie that perfectly portray depression. A) Joy being forgotten; you forget how to be happy and the things that used to make you happy no longer do. B) The happy memories fading away. Somewhat in line with the last one, Riley is becoming a different person, and I do think when you have prolonged periods of depression you do change because of it. C) Being unable to feel anything; when the emotions can't make Riley change her mind because they can't make her feel anything, that is the fog you get into. I'd make the argument that the light bulb that they can't get out of her mind is also exactly what would happen in someone attempting suicide. They get the idea and they can't break out of it. Every person I've seen who survived a suicide attempt instantly regretted it and felt that they weren't in a state of mind where they could get the idea out of their head

[@mistressnightingale21]

Wait till you watch Soul. It's another movie made by the same writer-director. I got depressed during the first years of Pandemic and after watching that movie, it pulled me out of the deep and made me feel that life is worth living. Cried so hard watching it. Highly recommend after watching this masterpiece.

[@ge_mig_nat_som_kanns]

I work with addiction treatment and show this in group therapy. It’s SO good!

[@winifredgingerich8402]

Watching this again makes me emotional in a different way… when I watched it when I was 11-12ish it made me cry because I could relate to Riley and what she was feeling , now it makes me cry one because it’s a beautiful story and two because I can still relate to it but on different points, ya know? It’s kinda hard to explain 😂 but all that aside I think this is an incredible movie and really important for young children because it’s a visual example of how to identify and deal with different emotions.

[@mwohaeyo]

Seeing this film legit makes me cry every time 😔 A lot of my trauma is rooted in my childhood/youth. Majority of it is mental and emotional trauma and it just manages to capture the way my brain functioned as a kid in pain.
