*WHY BING BONG!!?* Inside Out (2015) | First Time Watching | (reaction/commentary/review)

[@DefinitelyNotJay]

Depression isn't like sadness taking over, it's like what's happening to Riley where the emotions get overwhelmed and it's more of a numbness. And when you don't feel like you those core personality islands just aren't working anymore.

[@Sam-lb8xs]

Exactly; with depression, you just feel stuck, numb. Sadness is a symptom, but depression is effectively just this overwhelming sense of hopelessness, this sense that you'll never feel joy again. Everything can be lovely all around you and you feel like you're drowning. Sadness is generally what pulls me out of depression.

[@maureenseel118]

"Losing interest in things you used to enjoy" yup. It's either feeling nothing or feeling so much that you have to shut everything down.

yes depression obviously may stem from sadness but it IS NUMBNESS. not being able to eat shower or get out of bed

As someone who has depression, I find the most relatable part is when the idea of running away gets so locked in her head that she literally can’t feel anything until sadness snaps her out of it.

Riley losing her hockey skills used to make no sense to me except from a plot point perspective, until i myself had a depressive episode. I straight up forgot how to do things i was able to do a few days before, just like Riley, cause i guess the brain works in weird ways like that. I remember sitting down in class and staring at my own notes and having to tell the teacher "Miss, i know i did this last class, but i swear i don't know how to now", feeling insane for suddenly not being able to do normal things. This movie is great at showing the real deal in such a clever accessible way

[@sassylittleprophet]

When I'm at my lowest moments, I can't play the piano. I literally, physically CAN'T. I can't connect to the instrument, the music, my mind can't focus, my fingers don't work...I've been playing the piano for TWENTY YEARS. Depression really messes with your ability to function, and even to connect with something you love and are really skilled at. In those worst times, your love for it doesn't matter, and all your years of skill aren't enough.

[@kevinw.6177]

After a few watchings, I figured it might have more to do with Fear frantically trying to corral the core memories during that scene. Like the skills aren't being forgotten, she's just overcome with anxiety and fumbles because of it.

[@fernandaparraguirre5237]

@@kevinw.6177 i like your way of seeing it, Fear being the "main emotion" during most of it sure makes it seem that way. I guess my viewing it is very biased because of my own experience: the scene doesn't just remind me of myself losing my skills at whatever, it reminds me of desperately searching my brain for the memory of "before", of when i could do the thing, hoping that remembering would make it work like it used to. And, of course, failing that becoming so frustrated that i gave up -at least for a while, cause i'm glad to say depressive episodes don't last forever. I guess the good thing of how they show it in the movie is that it being a big metaphor allows for everyone to see their own way of struggling in it

[@goldensuzaku]

At work I did the same thing hundreds of times then one day my brain was just like 'nah you don't need this anymore' and booted the memory of what I was supposed to do away. (It was just one step but-) I kept over thinking and couldn't remember then I accidently spread it to the guy who had helped(kinda trained) me. I just remember the blank look and confusion as he stared at the floor trying to remember. It was like being hyper aware of your breathing or blinking but still tripping over it????

[@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072]

Funny that’s not how it worked for me

[@danielapineda9439]

All of the emotions are the same age as Riley because they're basically her just represented in different ways. So every time they say something, it's actually what Riley is thinking. When sadness says "Dad doesn't love us anymore" or disgust doesn't like where they are slipping, all of that is Riley but she doesn't express it to her parents because she is their "happy girl", that's why happiness is always trying to appease everyone else

[@thecocoacouch]

Yeah that’s what I was suspecting. Would make sense hey.

[@erich930]

9:00 - The thing I like about that specific scene is that Fear says "They're judging us," then the camera pans to the rest of the class and no one actually seems to be judging her. It's all in her head

[@Nuvendil]

That scene has a lot of subtle layers. I like the aspect that most don't catch: the reason Sadness touches the memory. It's because Riley isn't being honest. She says "I'm on a great hockey team" and "My dad's the coach." That's not true, she WAS on a hockey team, her dad WAS the coach. The only way these memories stay "happy" is by lying to herself and pretending nothing has changed. But it has changed, and she needs to process that.

[@InABroadwayStateOfMind]

Yeah. She thinks they’re judging her, but if you actually pay attention, they actually all look concerned, FOR her.

[@UpeLkUchEn]

There’s a quote from Cinema Therapy (another youtube channel by a therapist and cinematographer that analyze movies) about this movie that I think summarizes how sadness is needed: “There is a type of love only experienced through sadness, and there’s a type of joy that is only experienced through grief. In a lot of ways it’s the most beautiful of all because when we give each other comfort we show compassion, we show empathy and that’s the most beautiful love there is.”

This is an important commentary on depression. Depression is often less about sadness than it is an absence of emotion, when you have no feelings. Or when anger takes over.

[@bidishah]

Yes yes yes love this movie for these reasons ❤

[@sathvamp1]

For sure- sadness can be actually-productive. It wasn't until AFTER I saw this movie that I did some research on emotional tears, and saw that many scientific sources have observed feel-good brain endorphins often get released in the brain along with tears. Endorphins act like natural painkillers, presumably with the function of dulling the painful stimulus that originally triggered the tears in the first place.

One of the things I love most about this movie is that it shows that no emotion is inherently negative. They’re all there to help you even if that emotion doesn’t feel good at the time.

[@sathvamp1]

YES- if there was never anything productive about a particular emotion, it would have gotten weeded out of existence a long time ago! It sure took ME long enough to FIRSTHAND notice that feel-good brain endorphins can actually come along with tears, for example. I am sure I had once "academically" read about that at one point, BUT actually experiencing it and noticing it COMPLETELY changed my perspective on crying! I had always thought of crying as basically useless and didn't do it much myself and adamantly avoided tearjerker movies (ESPECIALLY watching them with other people). But THEN... I saw THIS movie... and during Joy's line (when she was stuck in the pit) of "Do you remember when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?"... I got SUCH a suddenly strong emotional "sneak attack", more so than ANY other movie I'd seen before. And what was even MORE baffling to me was... AFTER the movie, I noticed I was CRAVING MORE TEARJERKERS. ...which was very unusual for me... but after doing a bit of research and learning about the associated endorphins (which scientists presume, since they ARE natural painkillers, help us to recover from the negativity of the original tear-triggering stimulus)... I TOTALLY understood where my craving was coming from, lol. It had just apparently took 30 YEARS for me to encounter an experience where the endorphins out-lived the perceived negativity of the original stimulus.. for me to NOTICE them per se.

Any of the emotions can be destructive and do a big damage to a brain and personality and person's life. You just need to learn how to handle your emotions in a healthy way. But remember: you can't fully trust your emotions: 1) they act only from the information they have. If you don't know something, that can cause problems. 2) more often emotions act only for your own good not thinking about others. It is at least their priorities. We need to teach our emotions to care about others too. 3) emotions aren't perfect from the start. They are also like little kids who should grow and learn. Parents should NOT give their kids the full control over the house. Parents should listen to kids and their wishes but wisely decide what wish should be realized.

[@bidishah]

Bingo. Joy represents toxic positivity. Sadness is by far one of my top favourite Pixar characters, I love her so much.

[@sathvamp1]

:D ME TOO, for a very specific reason... story below: It was my own first viewing of "Inside Out" that actually (CONTRARY to my own behavioral and emotional history!) turned me into a tearjerker-seeker... at a late age 30! Because... watching "Inside Out" was the FIRST time that I firsthand the feel-good brain endorphins that can come along with tears. I did not realize what was going on at first... until AFTER the movie, when I realized I was CRAVING MORE tearjerkers! That was SO unusual for me, I was like "What on Earth...??!!?" BEFORE then, for most of my life, I had adamantly avoided tearjerkers, and rarely cried in general (I was under the false impression that crying was a useless activity). But.. I always knew I was a huge fan of endorphins (although in the past I usually got them from thrillseeking like riding roller coasters). But once I did a bit of research and found out that crying can indeed release [natural painkilling] endorphins... I was actually eager to pursue my [very new and at-first-strange-to-me] obsession, lol!

Is that a quote from him that I don't remember, or a line in the movie I don't remember? Anyway that reminds me of the exact moment of this movie when MY OWN heart ripped in half: It was during the scene with Joy stuck in the pit, especially her line of "Do you remember how she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?" The first time I MYSELF saw this movie, THAT line gave me such an emotional sneak-attack, instantly triggering my tear reflexes. I actually had never had that happen SO strongly to me during a movie!

@@sathvamp1 It's not a direct quote, but it's from the Simpsons episode where Ralph got a crush on Lisa. It's the scene where, after Lisa snaps at Ralph at a taping of Krusty and breaks it off with him, it cuts to Bart telling Lisa that since he recorded the episode, he's able to slow down and pinpoint the exact moment Ralph's heart breaks.

I love how many important things you can get from this movie. Some people tend to omit/forget these, which I think as much important as the main themes and it's great you've catched them: -toxic positivity, when you don't allow yourself to be sad and try to bury other emotions under joy which is overwhelming after some time and make things worse, and that's how's Joy is in the begging - she doesn't allow sadness to take control - people are always angry with Sadness at the beginning when she touches the happy memories and changes them but forget they're EMOTIONS - you can't really control them, can you? Sadness just instinctively takes control when she's the emotion that is filling Riley up at the moment. Same with other emotions, they just push the button when they feel they should. And sadness changes the memories because that's how Riley perceives these "happy" memories right now - as something that used to be good but won't come back. It's more nostalgia than anything.

[@evelinramosmiranda619]

yeah also sadness was being so repressed she was trying to make riley feel

[@anna_banana7019]

That last scene with Bingbong always makes me ugly cry. I used to have imaginary friends but for the life of me I can’t remember the specific details of them. Whenever Bingbong goes it’s like that grief of childhood all over again. There was a time when I played with my imaginary friends for the last time and I never even knew it

[@daytoncharitychicken]

Sadness and crying definitely have a critical role in life. Things that play a role in regulating moods and stress, like serotonin, adrenaline, and cortisol, have been found in tears cried during emotional episodes (as opposed to allergy/irritant tearing), so tears may help balance emotions or relieve some stress. And I’ve seen a number of friends throwing around the term toxic positivity lately because they are currently getting annoyed by it. I sometimes wish I could have direct access to my own internal control panel to be able to just slap a button to switch emotions faster, particularly when angry or sad… it would be nice!😂

[@sathvamp1]

I've also researched the chemical composition of "emotional tears" and also about the feel-good brain endorphins that can get released in the brain with crying... but it took the BELOW story of mine to even get interested in the topic: This movie was the FIRST event in my entire life (at a relatively late age 30!) when I actually noticed FIRSTHAND the feel-good brain endorphins that can come with tears (after I myself was triggered to shed them particularly during Joy's line when she was stuck in the pit "Do you remember when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?"). THAT line did a very sudden "emotional sneak attack" on me! Then AFTER the movie, I noticed I was strongly craving MORE tearjerker movies (which was VERY unusual for me)! BEFORE then, I had always adamantly avoided tearjerkers, didn't see any value in crying in general, and rarely did it myself. BUT I already knew I was a HUGE fan of endorphins (except, until THEN, I used to get them primarily via thrillseeking activities such as roller coasters). I had to do a bit of research to realize that my new "craving to cry" was likely due to a ton of endorphins having gotten released (and finally, for some reason, NOTICED by me) along with that tear-shedding reflex, during this movie. Given my prior history, until I tracked down the likely cause, I was thinking to myself, "WHY on Earth do I WANT to cry [more] ?!?" But once I learned the mechanisms behind it, I was SO readily eager to find more tearjerkers for that very new and unexpected source of endorphins, lol! FYI... besides having pleasant after-effects, the entire main REASON it's thought that endorphins get released with crying is to act like a natural painkiller to dull the originally-painful stimulus the triggered the crying in the first place. You mentioned "adrenaline" being found in emotional tears... I think everyone may be different in that respect, because for ME, it seems as though any sort of fear or anxiety totally inhibits tears from happening. I apparently need to be 100% relaxed for it to happen. That's despite my research showing that many people DO cry from fear. But ANY crying I've ever done has only been in response to either sadness, or certain happy causes (achievement, affection, amusement or beauty... on that note, those 4 causes were actually described in a scientific paper about "positive tears"(!)) OH, and... speaking of your last comment about wishing to switch buttons when angry or sad, that reminds me of this story: Warning: This involves a slight spoiler (only in terms of the emotions it triggered from me)... to the [original Korean version] of the movie "Miracle in Cell No. 7". When I saw THAT movie, my own reaction reminded me of TWO PARTICULAR emotions fighting with each other! Since it included both EXTREMELY sad scenes, AS WELL as portrayed a horrible instance of injustice, while I was watching, it really felt like my own "Sadness" and "Anger" were fighting very intensely with one another in my head (!!). My "Sadness" was fighting like crazy to get OUT (in the form of tears) but "Anger" kept blocking its exit and dragging it back whenever it tried to come out. It was actually very uncomfortable for me, lol! 😬 I've never had such an epic battle of 2 different emotions happen in my head before! (Of course, because I had already seen "Inside Out", it was easy for me to IMAGINE that happening lol!)

[@Agossbb]

Yes! When I get sad or stressed, I take 10 minutes to cry it out, and then I feel better, because I get out the sadness by crying. I have a good emotional control, I know how my brain works, Im still learning other things, more complex feelings. ❤ its like a degree 😂

[@wintergreene5089]

a detail i loved in this movie is the scene where it shows riley's parents' emotions. the "leader" emotion seems to be the most prominent one for each individual's personality (and as we see, that's joy for riley) and for her dad, anger is the most prominent, yet the "foot" (the most severe punishment riley's dad can offer) is only sending riley to her room. i think that says a lot about riley's dad as a person who perhaps has had some anger issues in the past but has worked hard to overcome them for his family

"We could be lying in a dirty floor, in a bag" Cuts to Riley doing exactly that

[@themintgrrl3893]

Riley is going through all of the stages of grief in this movie. Denial-trying to pretend like everything is alright at first. Anger-her building frustrations from her hockey tryout to her decision to run away. Bargaining-Anger’s “big idea” that going back to Minnesota will fix everything. Depression-The Emotions losing control of the console. Acceptance-Riley telling her parents about how much she misses Minnesota and being comforted by her parents. I’m amazed they managed to make it work, though I’m wondering if someone can go through all five stages that fast(this all happens within a couple of days, right?)

[@pasaniusventris4113]

something to note about the first night at the new house- joy says "i'm not supposed to do this" and changes up the dream. when we're sleeping, our brains sort of reset and categorize the day's events, so it's possible she was stunting riley's ability to deal with tough, unhappy emotions.

[@HappyPsychoBunny3]

A little detail that i absolutely love in this movie is that, as Riley grows older, the control panel gets more and more complicated with new buttons and dials and levers being added. As a baby its just one big button that take turns basically switching emotions on a dime, but as you grow into adulthood they all have to work in tandem with each other simultaneously, and we can see this reflected in just how the control room looks.

[@Annik_Tenacious_Felis]

What I really like is the fact that all the emotions in riley are unique looking while the parents emotions look very similar just like the parents. My theory is that we don't really know how we perceive ourselves until we've grown up so maybe thats the reason that the parents emotions look nearly identical to their outer appearance while Riley's emotions are different

oh man, this movie presents the complexity of our emotions and feelings in such a great and understandable way. It definitely helped me out in a dark part of my life. We need moments of honoring all of our emotions, they're rarely ever just simply one pure emotion as we get older. I also LOVE the casting of each emotion, especially Lewis Black as anger (his standup comedy he does is so great and makes him a perfect fit for the role). Easily one of my favorite movies I've ever seen, and one we can all relate to in our own ways. (Great job on the comment about Riley's parents emotions showing a more mature understanding and processing of the feelings). Great stuff as always Oscar!

[@gwendolynrobinson3900]

This movie really fucks with me, because I was like Riley in a lot of ways. A goody two shoes, very obedient, happy go lucky. I also grew up in Minnesota and was moved to Texas when I was 16. I had never moved schools before, and it was devastating. I came from a small town of 3000, and transferred to a _school_ of 3000. I lost a lot of friendships because I wasn't prepared for long distance, and a new girl started going to my old school and joined my old friend groups and the clubs I was in, even my church. I felt really replaced. I'm doing better now, but this movie always takes me back to one of the worst times of my life

[@adiarainfoster]

I adore this movie. I've lost count of how many times I've seen this and it never gets old. Glad you like it! It's kind of a wonderful way to show kids how ALL of our emotions, including sadness, is important to us and how those emotions can dictate how we interact with the world around us. It's also a great representation of toxic positivity that a lot of us put up with both inside ourselves and from other people. That feeling that sadness is bad and just trying to smile and be happy through hard times even though you are actually feeling miserable inside. More often than not, I have found that it's socially unacceptable to be openly sad in front of other people. Most people will see you sad and try to get you to smile rather than being a shoulder to cry on or listening to what is making you sad. Then get angry when you can't break out into a happy smile just for them. I've seen the shift from trying to make someone smile to being angry with the person happen over a span of just a few minutes. It's insane to me sometimes how fast this toxic attitude toward the more negative emotions can take over. I'm one of the roughly 50% of kids who had an imaginary friend as a child. It's fascinating how some kids have it and others don't. But I also always had an overabundance of imagination in general so maybe that's why? Mine was a giant black unicorn as big as the van we used to travel in whenever we moved (which was every 1-2 years). I used to dream I'd get on his back and he'd take me off to the magic forest he came from and I would never have to leave again. :)

I absolutely love this film. It's a beautiful way of showing how our emotions literally control our actions. Everything they say is what Riley is thinking and then each emotion presses a button to control her actions to those thoughts. It's also extremely powerful when she feels numb to any emotions and the control panel turns off so they can't get her to do anything. Perfect way to teach people that depression is NOT sadness. It's so much more complex.

[@serenitytoepper]

The reason we have a hard time seeing Bing bong's death scene or him disappearing it triggers us because deep down inside we all once imagine a friend to be in our lives. And to us they were real and we all had a wonderful childhood. At least in my case I know that's why this scene hit me so hard I remember my imaginary friend and it's kind of like those small memories you don't think about, but they do still exist inside us somewhere in our hearts and memories. But the emotions are a lot but Sadness is correct sadness is needed in our lives weather we can relate to or not is up to other people but to me I can see how Sadness can make us show Empathy for others and also bring in help when we need it, because when your sad it's the time most try to listen. if you try to hide all your emotions like Joy tries to do, it's not a good thing, in that case it's kind of toxic in my opinion because you can't live your life like that, and the reasons Sandess is reacting this way, it's because Raily's body is changing, and her moving away caused the emotions to become stronger and more mixed of confusion and sadness.

To answer some of the questions you asked, Riley still knows how to play hockey when she loses the core memory. She knows the rules, she knows (theoretically) how to do the maneuvers, but because her head isn't in the game, she's struggling to put what she knows into actual practice. Riley also isn't done with Imagination Land; everyone (including grownups) use their imagination, even if only for seemingly mundaine activities. But Imagination Land changes based on Riley's interests. She's getting rid of Princess Castle and the Stuffed Animal Hall of Fame to make way for more mature interests, like boyfriends.

But once I did a bit of research and found out that crying can indeed release [natural painkilling] endorphins... I was actually eager to pursue my [very new and at-first-strange-to-me] obsession, lol!

[@BrianZatzke]

@@sathvamp1 I know I definitely don’t cry in real life situations. Or just rarely cry. Not because I thought it was useless, but just because I didn’t want to. But watching tearjerkers like from Pixar really do get me to cry. Maybe I do seek things that’ll make me cry in order to feel something. Thanks for that realization. Also 31. So, it’s weird to find out things about ourselves to this point in our lives. Lol.

[@sathvamp1]

​@@BrianZatzke Yup, it indeed might be that you've (even if subconsciously) noticed those endorphins triggered by your reactions to such movies, and if you rarely or never happen to get them from real life, your brain is like "Well, I wanna get them from SOMEwhere" lol. And/or (true in my case) it feels "safer" from a film. It sounds like there may be a few more "successful" films for you in that respect than for me, lol... since I started actively looking for more tearjerkers... I soon (frustratingly) discovered how notoriously difficult it was for me to find ones that REALLY affected me. What made it even more frustrating was that it's apparently virtually impossible for me to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing. It wasn't until a few years later when I stumbled upon (without knowing ANYthing about this movie) "Interstellar" ... two scenes in THAT one got me really good. Then, "My Girl" did as well. Then, 2 more... a long 7 months apart from one another (and these remain the "winners" for MOST intensely tearful reactions from me): "The Land Before Time," and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." MOST recently, and definitely worth mentioning if YOU need something new to "try out"... I've seen the Korean version of "Miracle in Cell No. 7." I could not stop thinking about THAT one for over a day, actually. I TECHNICALLY can't call it the most tearful reaction for ME (for most others, it's a different story!) but that's probably because there was ALSO some anger from me during that movie, and apparently my "Anger" has the tendency to NOT let "Sadness" take control if he wants to dominate, lol! Yes, I was imagining ("Inside Out" style) my "Anger" and my "Sadness" having an epic battle in my head during "Miracle in Cell No. 7". It was quite uncomfortable actually but makes for an interesting story :P

[@theirishslyeyes]

I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction, when I saw that you posted this, I knew you'd understand it, you seem to be really in touch with your emotions and connect with the roles they play, down to the mixed emotions that roll in at the end of the movie. Excellent reaction!! ❤️❤️

[@sathvamp1]

I was SO excited to see him post this! I was actually RIGHT in the MIDDLE of his "Avatar Way of Water" reaction at the time, so I left a comment on Part 2 saying something like "OK INTERMISSION-- I see your "Inside Out" reaction, I'll come back to this one later!" LOL. His reaction to this is likely my FAVORITE "Inside Out" reaction (and I've seen a LOT of them lol!) I am super-glad he included the part where Joy was stuck in the pit and her line of "Do you remember when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?" ...when I first watched this movie, THAT line gave ME a tear-triggering sneak-attack... the first time any scene suddenly affected me so strongly in any movie (and I was 30 when I saw this!)

[@user-17j]

Riley turns into Joker if we let Joy keep getting rid of all emotions

[@torontomame]

What timing! I just this moment finished your True Lies reaction (another awesome reaction, by the way) and I saw you'd just posted this. I saw Inside Out and the movies, and cried So Hard. It's one of my top 3 favourite Pixar movies. ❤

[@sathvamp1]

Haha, speaking of "what timing"... it was very interesting timing for ME because I was actually RIGHT in the MIDDLE of his "Avatar Way of Water" reaction at the time, and was SO excited to see "Inside Out" on the sidebar. This movie is VERY special to me too! It's the FIRST movie that I can remember after which I actually NOTICED those feel-good brain endorphins that can come with tears (at a late age 30!)... before then, I'd always avoided tearjerkers and didn't cry much in general BUT... THIS movie actually turned me into a tearjerker-seeker! At first I thought it was SO strange when I realized I WANTED to find MORE tearjerkers after the movie was over... until I did some research and learned the physiology behind it, lol! When I saw him post this video, I didn't even (yet!) finish his Avatar Way of Water reaction... when I saw "Inside Out," I left a comment on Part 2 of his Avatar Way of Water reaction saying something like "OK INTERMISSION-- I see your "Inside Out" reaction, I'll come back to this one later!" LOL.

[@Rainefaelyn]

I think you would really love Ted Lasso. I know I'd love to see you react to it.

[@likelyvampirical]

This movie has never failed to get a cry out of me. And weirdly, it's never been at Bing Bong's vanishing. It's almost always when Riley breaks down with her parents. I've watched this movie so many times over, but that moment gets me every single time. Watching it this time got me when Joy cries at the bottom of the pit, which I wasn't expecting. I didn't realise I was getting sad until there were tears in my eyes. This will always be a favourite movie of mine.

[@BlackxPegasus]

I've only recently discovered your channel and I have to say I'm a bit "shockingly in love" with the way you react to the movies, how empathetic you are and what little things you discover that I only noticed after watching 3-4 times. I've moved 18 times in my life as of today and feel 3:34 so much. I was finally diagnosed with borderline 2 years ago and now I finally know why I feel the way I do. This movie has always been special to me, just like "Soul" (which broke me), because it's soooo important to listen to your feelings. Thank you for showing your emotions so openly in the reactions. Especially the crying and that has nothing to do with "male weakness", it is simply human and "nice" to see someone who deals with it so openly.

[@nisto1518]

I had to come back and refresh myself with the first movie after seeing the second. Such great movies these are.

[@MiciousDawn]

I just found your channel and I love your view on this one! I appreciated that you saw the unfair treatment against Sadness right away when usually the audience is annoyed at her. I also agree that this is a good manual on emotions for kids :)

[@thecocoacouch]

I think it’s also a helpful way for parents to teach their kids how to manage their emotional responses to things. Cheers 🍻

[@sathvamp1]

2nd comment: It was SUCH a pleasure (re-)watching this with you!!! ❤ This movie is so special to me. And YES... Bing Bong's sacrifice was definitely emotional for EVERYone! 💔 Side note: (Related to personification of emotions) ... My own (recent) reaction to [original Korean version] of "Miracle in Cell No. 7" reminded me of TWO PARTICULAR emotions fighting with each other! For anyone reading who doesn't mind a very mild spoiler (i.e. which 2 emotions those were for me, which may tell you a lot about the emotions that movie can trigger in the audience)... click "read more" ;) When I saw [again, the Korean version] of "Miracle in Cell No. 7"... since it included both EXTREMELY sad scenes, AS WELL as portrayed a horrible instance of injustice, while I was watching, it really felt like my own "Sadness" and "Anger" were fighting very intensely with one another in my head (!!). My "Sadness" was fighting like crazy to get OUT (in the form of tears) but "Anger" kept blocking its exit and dragging it back whenever it tried to come out. It was actually very uncomfortable for me, lol! 😬 I've never had such an epic battle of 2 different emotions happen in my head before! (Of course, because I had already seen "Inside Out", it was easy for me to IMAGINE that happening lol!)

[@themintgrrl3893]

“Remember the funny movie where the dog dies?” That has gotta be an All Dogs Go To Heaven reference. I grew up watching that movie religiously as a kid.❤❤❤🐶👼

[@detectivenora]

This is by far one of the best Inside out reaction I have ever seen, you really hit the nail on all those points. So many people, including myself, immediately painted Sadness as the villain when in reality she was the solution and you have no idea how happy I was when you already recognised that. Super excited to see many more reactions of yours! :)

[@domisvids]

The way I cried so hard when I saw this movie for the first time and you literally saw those core memories where she used to be happy and Riley started crying to her parents. I was bawling my eyes out..

[@sathvamp1]

6:25 - YES, yes! You figured that out LONG before I did, lol! [That crying CAN actually serve a purpose]. This movie was the FIRST event in my entire life (at a relatively late age 30!) when I actually noticed firsthand the feel-good brain endorphins that can come with tears (after I myself was triggered to shed them particularly during Joy's line when she was stuck in the pit "Do you remember when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?"). THAT line did a very sudden "emotional sneak attack" on me! Then AFTER the movie, I noticed I was strongly craving MORE tearjerker movies (which was VERY unusual for me)! BEFORE then, I had always adamantly avoided tearjerkers, didn't see any value in crying in general, and rarely did it myself. BUT I already knew I was a HUGE fan of endorphins (except, until THEN, I used to get them primarily via thrillseeking activities such as roller coasters). I had to do a bit of research to realize that my new "craving to cry" was likely due to a ton of endorphins having gotten released (and finally, for some reason, NOTICED by me) along with that tear-shedding reflex, during this movie. Given my prior history, until I tracked down the likely cause, I was thinking to myself, "WHY on Earth do I WANT to cry [more] ?!?" But once I learned the mechanisms behind it, I was SO readily eager to find more tearjerkers for that very new and unexpected source of endorphins, lol! FYI... besides having pleasant after-effects, the entire main REASON it's thought that endorphins get released with crying is to act like a natural painkiller to dull the originally-painful stimulus the triggered the crying in the first place.

[@ronweber1402]

You want to cry? Watch Up. It rips your guts out and then puts them back in and makes you feel good.

[@sathvamp1]

​@@ronweber1402 LOL your second sentence is HILARIOUS omg 😆 But on another note... (sigh)... I DID watch "Up"... about 12+ years ago... and 1) I totally don't remember my first-watch reaction, and 2) I've observed it's apparently impossible for me to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing. So I usually need to stumble upon something new. What makes finding something even more challenging is that, despite my "new hobby [lol]" it's frustratingly difficult to find something that will make me cry- it does happen but it seems totally random sometimes. I have had some successes since "Inside Out" though, including: Interstellar, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, My Girl, The Land Before Time, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. OK WOW I think I'm in an extra-funny mood now because I just went back and read your comment two more times and laughed harder each time. My back started hurting I was laughing so hard so thanks for that LOL! (And YES, I like to laugh TOO... ROTFL).

[@fruncedx6225]

Love that I can watch this having just come home from Oppenheimer cuz it's an ideal palate cleanser.

[@thecocoacouch]

😆 what an awesome transition.

[@alking7655]

@thecocoacouch, Hey Oscar, the Pixar team actually developed this (and its recent sequel) with collaboration and research from professional psychologists. It has since been used as a way to explain how the role of our emotions (and yes how, sometimes, depression) influence our being and life. It is also being used as a professional children's therapy tool.😊

[@ChimeratAlpha]

Finally, someone who was in Sadness' corner from the start. (Mostly, you still has a few "Oh, come on, Sadness!" moments, but still nice to see.

[@invadertifxiii]

it really says a lot as we get older, seeing sadness and anger at the control for the parents

[@thecocoacouch]

Yeah for sure. It’s also cool how both this movie and the sequel show that no emotion is neither good or bad, too much joy and suppressing negative emotions is unhealthy. Perhaps a person leading with Anger is more passionate, and someone leading with sadness is more empathetic 🤷‍♂️

[@TheStrawbunnyPrincess]

found your channel the other day, been binging your video's as I saw this new one come up. Can't wait to see this channel grow!

[@sathvamp1]

Sometimes I forget how young his channel is... he's SUCH a totally awesome reactor already! :D Before this one came up (this is one of my very favorite movies!)... I'd say my favorite reaction of his was his "Schindler's List" reaction. When I saw THIS one come up, I was actually RIGHT in the MIDDLE of his "Avatar Way of Water" reaction at the time, and was SO excited to see "Inside Out" on the sidebar. This movie is VERY special to me, so I didn't even want to think about it being potentially taken down for copyright reasons (happens sometimes), plus I knew I'd want to "be on time to the party" in the comments, so when I saw him post this video, I didn't even (yet!) finish his Avatar Way of Water reaction... when I saw "Inside Out," I left a comment on Part 2 of his Avatar Way of Water reaction saying something like "OK INTERMISSION-- I see your "Inside Out" reaction, I'll come back to this one later!" LOL.

[@thecocoacouch]

I really appreciate that thank you! ☺️

[@victoriacarn2453]

I think Riley was feeling the exact emotions who were left. She was angry at her parents and the fact that she had to leave, she was scared about not fitting in or making friends in her new city.. I think she was feeling lost about who she was after being removed from everything she knew, and that’s why the islands of personality weren’t working properly

[@RhetoricalThrill]

I love watching reactions to this movie where people really get it. This one and Coco fight for first place in my head all the time.

[@FatLittleButterfly]

Who knew we could feel so emotional for Riley's imaginary friend ): The emotions sort of evolve as we get older. Like Sadness is dominant in Mom because it had evolved into Empathy and Anger in Dad was Determination.

[@bethanyheyde805]

I really liked this movie because I felt like it did a really good job of portraying the complexities of memories and emotions, especially when it comes to a teenage girl going through puberty. It is a hard time in everyone’s life. I love how they created a simple way to explain deep emotions and feelings.

[@pandaluna0]

depression isn't feeling something too much. it's more like.. not feeling much of anything. in the movie, losing joy and sadness basically made Riley depressed, yeah

[@PrayerfullyBlessedMama]

Riley has free will, can make or keep ideas. They just control her state of mind.

[@fantasyland3646]

It's good to be sad to cry to let out your emotions never good or healthy to hold anything in ,joy comes after sadness.

[@and-dt3zm]

it really is a wonderful movie. Pixar is a label that I have come to unconditionally trust they would bring out great stories. I thoroughly enjoyed your review too! I didnt notice how the parents' emotions were more working in a team from the beginning in contrast to Riley until you mentioned! anyway you have a new sub :)

[@CompletaAce-yx8ji]

I appreciate your tears, due to not being around males who barely show their tears/soft side. Your gf is lucky to have such a person as yourself.

[@pink_alligator]

21:58 The happy memory only happened or became *happy* bcs she was *sad* first I think is the intended takeaway

[@SilverionX]

It seems Sadness also represents reflection and empathy in this movie. I think that's why Sadness is the main emotion in Mom's head, she has a lot of empathy.

[@lovisalindstrom7920]

Happiness: What can go wrong?. Sadness: It will go wrong, you'll be sad, and hopefully you get help. Life is bittersweet, there is no Happily ever after/Amos Oz. Without sadness how would you know if you are happy?

[@mistymane52]

Interesting to look at the recent memories in the background of the parents brain shots.. like the mom had heaps of green in a row which probably represents her fear of moving to a new place and all the complications that come with it.. ya know?

[@WolfstarGaming1]

Honestly one of Pixar's most tremendous films. ALSO If you take suggestions, I would love to see you react to Sing and Sing 2 if you haven't seen them already :) (and i thought I subbed to you a while ago)

[@robindude8187]

"...so [Sadness] doesn't have any influence on Riley, that's really sad..." Sorry, I laughed when you said this. "...it's almost like a maturity difference, the way they handle their emotions..." Exactly. You were wondering if the people inside were 'adults', but... that comparison makes no sense. They're emotions, not mature or immature. It's in our learning to handle them that we grow. "...so why are they getting destroyed just from one act..." Within the movie? Because the attempt to _activate_ them causes the busted machine to fall apart. Within _psychology?_ Pain. She's suffered a shock, and is losing core aspects of herself, and when the attempt is made to access those bits she no longer has, it just hurts and the only way she knows how to deal with the hurt is to push it away. You can't be hurt by not having friends anymore if you don't have a module in your head that _cares_ about friendship. So when your friends are ripped away from you, one way to _deal_ with that when friendships come up is to shut down that module, that part of yourself, and not _care_ about it anymore. She was a member of this team, and she's barely gone a week and they _replaced_ her? Screw her friends! She doesn't _need_ friends! She'll be fine without ever having friends again! ... That's where the anger comes in, as you saw, and why the island went down. Similar things happened with Goofball island. She couldn't deal with the pain so she shut that part of herself away to stop feeling, to close off the pain, to no longer feel sad. "...Sadness only got a participation award. That's so sad..." You did it to me again. :P "...aren't all her memories of learning in long-term..." From a psychological standpoint, that doesn't mean you always have access to them. People who are in a new situation and uncomfortable with it, and themselves, can lose a lot of what they had, not be as good. Depression can _vastly,_ and negatively, impact performance. Within the context of the movie, without the _core_ memory, she has less access to those other memories, and one _regular_ memory is no replacement for a _core_ memory. "...Joy, I think he just needs to have a moment..." So does Riley. "...you can't fix everything with happiness..." Trying to is called 'toxic positivity', and it's really what this movie is about. "...toxic happiness, almost..." Yep! Bang on. Well done! "...we've all... tried to run away..." Not me. I recognized _very_ early on that I was insanely dependent on my parents. Where would I go? I had no money, no way to _make_ money, and without it I couldn't eat. They didn't even have to explain that to me, it was obvious. "...being depressed is the same way that Joy took over but if Sadness took over..." This is the _major_ misunderstanding about depression. Depression isn't just 'sadness'. It's a form of pain. It can, sometimes, literally _physically hurt_ to be depressed. Everything around you becomes grey, you're not happy. You _might_ feel sad as well, but a lot of the time you just... are shut down to everything around you. Nothing gets in. Except, of course, for fear, anger, and disgust... because without those you won't survive long. "...at 11 you're brain's like 'aaaghhh! What do we do!'..." You mean... that _stops_ at some point? :P Good reaction. Have a nice day!

[@crunnchysnail]

watching this in time for the sequel and wow. this one gets me my dad's in the coast guard so i've moved around a lot, the scene at the end where riley apologizes to her parents for missing her old home and finally allows herself to be sad really really hits me in the feels. i adore this movie, but i think on future rewatches i need to stop right before the end so i don't sob every time lol

[@timebubble8421]

Inside out is my favorite movie of all time. Everything about it is so amazing. And i still pick up on new little facts after watching the movie so many times. It is so complex and well thought out. For example one thing you can tell is that Sadness is also connected to empathy where as in Joy has barely any empathy at all making her come off as selfish but that's because when you are happy you don't need to feel empathy but when you or someone ells is sad you show empathy through caring and wanting to help them or them help you feel better. Every emotion you have is necessary and they all have positive qualities to keep you safe. Lacking any of them can result in a toxic mindset

[@cynxmanga]

This movie is so great bc it's so visible how much of research they did to make sure all the psychological stuff makes sense and is accurate to reality. They really tried. And I heard the 2nd movie is even better so I will have to watch it as well!

[@TheTuneShifter]

Just finished watching this before watching Inside Out 2! Thanks for the great and honest reaction Oscar! I found the channel a couple weeks ago and I’ve really been enjoying all your stuff! Keep up the good work!

Trauer ist kein negatives Gefühl solange man nicht darin versinkt 🤗 Trauer lehrt einen Mitgefühl und lässt einen die glücklichen Momente mehr wertschätzen 😌 Einige meiner Kern Erinnerungen sind im Kern auch traurig aber ohne diese Erinnerungen wäre ich nicht der Mensch der ich heute bin also sind sie im Grunde nicht komplett traurig 😌 Außerdem habe ich Erinnerungen die im Kern glücklich sind aber durch mein Leben danach traurige Aspekte bekommen hat 🤷🏻‍♂️ Dadurch schätze ich diesen Moment umso mehr 🤗

[@helenchelmicka]

Love that the triple dent gum jingle is sung by Nick Pitera 😅😅

[@artloveranimation]

Riley didn't need to be happy. She needed to be sad and grieve her old home and relationships and memories that happened at the old house. At that moment on the bus, happiness would not have made her get off that bus.

[@Favouredz]

💯I agree Joy was being toxic in this movie, as she was controlling and tried to supress sadness - which is quite dangerous if you think about it, supressing any emotion is often really unhealthy. I think Sadness was compelled to touch the core memories as Riley needed to be sad at that time.

[@megangilbert3112]

This movie makes me cry even when I'm watching a reaction vid lol

[@natalieperez9669]

I love Inside Out!This was my favorite film when i was a kid!😊

[@canadiankazz]

It wasn't necessarily Riley's entire imagination being gotten rid of, it was "Preschool World" in particular. Things she cared about a lot as a child (such as stuffed animals and Bing Bong) she didn't "need" as a tween/teenager.

[@jrblake03027]

New Marshmellow here! I love this movie so much and I love your commentary on this movie and emotion and depression. This is really an important conversation. I love how you, as a gorgeous man, are on the internet showing emotion because there is no room for toxic masculinity here. Can’t wait for your next video.

[@divaldoenzo4742]

Still till this day didn’t recover from the ‘Take her to the moon for me’ !

[@AshleysAdvice]

Every time someone watches this movie I feel like they don't quite understand and everyone blames sadness, but imagine if you had to move house when you were becoming a teenager and you were forced to be happy your whole life told that sadness was a bad emotion that you weren't allowed to feel, then when you moved house and out with all these changes you didn't know what to do with your emotions so they were running on autopilot, that's what's happening in this film with sadness she's not doing it on purpose she doesn't realise she's doing it because Rileys brain is starting to run on autopilot, she needs sadness but isn't allowed to express it so it's got a mind of it's own now, taking over. Since she's moved to a new house every time she looks back on the memories of her hockey team or other important moments in her life they're turning into sad memories because they're from her past, from before she moved and now when she looks back on them everything has changed so they would become sad memories since she misses her friends she misses her hockey team and nothing is the same as it was, like you would be sad about that too if your whole world changed and you didn't know how to cope with it. As for the islands freezing as well as what happens later in the film it's causing a bit of a depression because she's not allowed to feel sadness which is what she needs the most right now and her parents are telling her to stay happy, joy is basically like a dictator making sure Riley is happy 24 seven which is not healthy and so she doesn't know what to do when join sadness Headquarters, since they haven't learned to work together as a team, the other emotions are floundering trying to replicate joy rather than just being themselves and because she hasn't had a discussion with her parents as well about how it's okay to be sad sometimes this causes her to basically fall into a depression we are nothing works because sadness is what she needs but she's not allowed to feel it, so no matter what the other emotions do it just makes it worse and worse until sadness takes control and turns all of the core memories into sad memories, since Riley doesn't live in the same city and everything has changed they've turned and now it's time for her to grieve her loss of friends and city and hockey team that she loves and that can then make way for new happy memories in her new city, it's all part of growing up and something her parents should've discussed with her, but instead they didn't really talk about it until the end, but if they had told her it's okay to feel your emotions and sadness is a very important part of life and that it's okay to feel sad sometimes because happiness comes from sadness, it's also why Joy's hair is blue she is both a representation of sadness and happiness as that you coexist without one another, But I understand why this messaging can get lost for some people, as it's written really intelligently and sometimes it takes a couple of free watches to really understand it. But that's what makes it such a great film for both children and adults to watch in my opinion, Since it teaches you about emotions and why all of them are important. A lesson that unfortunately not everybody knows, making it the ideal film to watch for people of all ages.
