@@t.e.sprocketeering that part always makes me ugly cry, way more than Bing Bong's death. But I cry because I've rarely felt that way with my parents, even though I sought it for a long time. It's beautiful to see her be able to rest in the trust she has with her parents, in a way I long for.
One of the reasons this movie is so brilliant is because they had actual child psychologists working with the writers to explain how emotions interact with each other, as well as affecting memories and core memories. Like Sadness is not acting randomly, she’s trying to express how Riley truly feels but Joy keeps suppressing her. So it’s not written the way it is solely to make an entertaining story, it’s actually following the rules of child psychology. There originally supposed to be more emotions like shame, guilt and suspicion but Pixar wisely chose five.
What we describe as emotions are a spectrum of interacting patterns, there really isn't a single thing in the brain that is "shame," it's an unprocessed notion that we should feel bad for something and we're not sure if we should, or we are convinced that we should feel bad. The mind is much more complicated but also much simpler than people think
Yeah the reason why sadness keeps touching old memories and turning them blue, is how we reminisce about memories gone by, especially during a tumultuous time in your life. Happy memories becomes sad because you wanna go back there but you can't
@@WirHyperboreermy children liked the movies the first couple times they watched it. It’s old hat, though, so hopefully they enjoy the new sequel. I took my 5YO to go to the sequel, and she liked it a lot, but I don’t know that she wants to go through the rollercoaster of emotions again anytime soon. Maybe twice a year, at most. Lol.
Honestly I was thinking of Master Oogway the whole movie. "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it's called the present."
The sequel is more about the internal battle humans face as teens. My girlfriend had severe anxiety growing up (abusive mother) and said she felt like she was having a panic attack when during that one scene with anxiety 😅
I didn't like the sequel as much. The first movie felt like it had better story writing and direction. Plus the sequel was missing at least a couple actors didn't return like Bill Hader, which threw things off for me.
Bing Bong's death never hit me. I hated his design, i hated how stupid he was, i hated his voice.. And also his name. How can i feel sad about a character named Bing Bong? I don't want to crap all over everyones emotions, i just never cared.
I think the best shot in this whole movie is the zoom in on Riley's face when she's being embraced by her parents at the end and as she's crying, her mouth spreads out slightly in a small but wholesome smile as tears run down her face. It's the summation of this entire story and it's just such a masterfully animated shot. Gut-punch every single time.
@@youarein1ov3 I do sometimes watch them, yeah! That shot of Riley was one of my favorites before I watched their episode on this movie, but I absolutely agree with them about it being one of the top shots in animation, at least in modern animation.
When Riley breaks down crying at the end and says “I miss Minnesota” hit me especially hard, because when I was 8 years old I had to move to Northern California from Minnesota due to my dads job.
Fun soundtrack Easter egg. I listened through the whole score because I loved it so much. And in the final track there’s 15 seconds of silence then out of nowhere the triple dent gun commercial comes on and closes out the soundtrack. Amazing joke
Intellectually I'm like "oh, of course Saddness is like that in the movie. Joy won't let her do her job right and so the sadness spills out every time she touches a memory. She's not being acknowledged so it's coming out in random places rather than a healthy expression." But part of me is still like "Saddness, for God's sake, Joy said Don't Touch like 3 TIMES!"
Yeah, this movie my go-to example for the writer's manipulating the audience into empathizing with the main character SO much that they'll have you thinking some out-of-pocket things like of course it makes sense for a little girl to not be sad about moving across country... 😂 Another recent example was Hawkeye, where a girl thought her step-father was an assassin because... She doesn't want a stepfather. Audience: That makes sense. He must be evil.
😄 I noticed a lot of reactors on the beginning yelling @ Sadness on their screens "DON'T TOUCH!!", & saying "Sadness is really getting on my nerves right now!"😄
The whole saying goodbye to the silliness and energy a child has hits me harder now having kids. Like I can’t forget to enjoy every moment before it’s gone.
i am 60+ years old and yet i can Still remember my playing in my Grandparents back garden in the cottage they used to like in i was 3 years old and can still remember helping my grandfather wash his car on a hot sunny day.... so i believe people can remember a lot more than they think they can.

Never thought of this, but rewatching it for the 98th time lol I realize that is such a genius script putting Fear in control when Rileys at sleep, makes so much sense since its the time of the day we humans are most vulnerable, depending on what we hear, or feel or dream could mean DANGER and we have to wake up in fear to run away or sm hahaha
Couple of details I love in this movie: -Both parents are clearly caring, loving, supportive, but make mistakes because they don't get what is going on -From the outside, it doesn't seem like big dramatic event. The external parts with Riley would be a very dull movie, but by doing that it shows how events can affect people inside, even if not everyone would expect it -Just how many very clever jokes there are! EDIT: The Cinema Therapy channel have made a few videos on this film for very good reasons! One of the hosts is a trained therapist and he talks about how well some of the issues are handled
I watched this in theatres and a pretty old grandma and what I assume were her grandkids were in front of me. After the movie ended she was crying very hard and she was telling the kids about the imaginary friend she had when she was young and how she hadn't thought of her in decades.
@@whatthehellisthisname I have keen memories of the imaginary fairy folk that lived in the woods behind my house. I would spend hours a day as a little kid by the pond talking and playing with them. Then one day I think I just forgot or grew out of it. I don't know why but it makes me sad.
When Riley at the end explains how much she misses home, it broke me because it hit me exactly where i had been feeling at the time. I was in a new place but I really missed how things used to be, mostly family get togethers and close friends. It really helped me address those feelings so much that I know it gave me a new core memory.
My kids watched this a few dozen times years ago and I never paid attention but finally, during one of their repeat watches I sat and watched it. What an emotional gut punch. I was so amazed that they explained such a complex topic so simply. Made me cry multiple times. Amazing story telling.
i was in south korea when the sequel came out and went to see it in theaters. i traveled alone and didn't know much korean, and i was sitting between a row of five children and a couple in their twenties. the movie was good and i couldn't stop sobbing and was eventually offered a tissue by one of the cute 7 year olds. it was really sweet and made me feel seen, and it's a really fond memory
Inside Out has one of the most beautiful and emotionally powerful scores in film history, especially the main theme “Bundle Of Joy”. Michael Giacchino should have won an Oscar for this, but he wasn’t even nominated!
Just watched this for the first time with my son and THAT scene was one of the few to make me start crying. We all have to let go of our childhood at some point as hard as it is.
24:10 😭😭😭 There is no running away from this scene, I'm trying to hold myself together but the tears were too powerful 😂💀 I was like "fck don't cry don't cry ahhhhhh god dxmmit"
This was exactly the kind of reaction I was hoping for from you, Nat! The kind of humor in this screenplay, combined with your emotional honesty and spontaneous energy, is a match made in high heaven! Few reactors appreciate all the brilliant little jokes in this movie as you just did! Can't wait for your reaction to its sequel!❤😊
I used to teach Health and PE and we would use this movie during the Mental and Emotional Health Unit. We'd watch the first half and have them write a 1 to 5 sentence response to the question, "what are your thoughts about the Sad character?" The answers were usually pretty harsh...the next day of class we'd finish the movie and ask the same question...the answers were always so much longer and so incredibly beautiful. The amount of kids whose eyes were open to the fact that every emotion has its place and that it isn't only okay to open up about those emotions, but it is soooo incredibly helpful to open up and let them out. Such a great movie!
I saw this in theaters with one of my best friends. When Bing Bong faded away, I started tearing up like a baby. Meanwhile, she started laughing out loud. Loud enough that the audience noticed. It was tragically hilarious. It's one of my favorite memories because it was so awkwardly hilarious. I'm tearing up and she's laughing out loud.
@@CrossOutBryce Lmao We had the opposite reaction. I'm halfway dead and get emotional pretty easily, but that's a funny story. The best part is the awkwardness after the fact. It's worse than a phone ringing. lol
When I first saw this movie as a kid I wasn’t a huge fan, but now as an adult it’s easily one of my favorite Pixar movies. The depiction of how emotions play off of each other and growing up is so beautifully done
Amy Pohler is a good one to be starstruck by. She is so kind and accommodating. Will take photos with you and everything. And just start up a conversation. Love her.
3:33 "You have to have sadness to embrace your happiness." Congrats, you spoiled the whole movie for yourself by learning the lesson of the movie during the exposition.
"You need darkness to have happiness" is a core element to this story, so kudos for thinking of it. Interesting fact about the scene with Bing Bong: The emotion you hear in his voice is real. When Richard Kind was recording his lines he became overcome with emotions at the idea of what was happening to his character and it spilled out into his recording. It is so true to the character that they had to keep it in. Richard also did the voice of Molt, Hopper's right hand man in "A Bug's Life".
I love how every audience group, kids, teenagers and adults can get something out of it. Kids will love the funny looking characters and maybe get an inkling about the themes. Teenagers are smack dab in the middle of it or have been recently through it and living the sequel at the moment, so they can relate and adults have been through it all, good and bad, and will look upon these memories and see how they made them who they are today. I can't praise this movie enough and the second part is as good, looking forward to Nat reacting to it.
You keyed into one of the really insightful things early. When her mom thanks her for staying their smiling girl, you got it that it is pressure to mask her feelings. The reactor channel Cultured Bubble had a fascinating watch of this movie. She was severely damaged by her parents like that. She was punished for showing anything but happiness, so now as an adult, she doesn't know how to recognize or understand any of her other feelings and is working through therapy to try to build that. It's rough and shows how harmful that can be to have allowed and not allowed kinds of feelings.
Oh, and I tried Mint Mobile for a while. Their pricing was great, and they are one of the rare resellers that lets you do mobile wi-fi hotspot, which is cool. My only complaint was that they are on T-Mobile's network, which just doesn't have good coverage out here in the Idaho/Utah kind of area, where only Verizon has decent coverage. So I had to switch. But if T-mobile coverage works where you live, yes, I definitely recommend Mint.
It's interesting because the mom and the dad have anger and sadness, but they are not as One-sided as Riley's. Mom's Sadness is more Emotional Empathy and Understanding and Dad's Anger is more protective and enduring. So I also feel the older you get, the more sides the emotions get.
@@neilbiggs1353 Well we see in 2 that other kids Riley's age also look the same, even in 1's post credits, so it might be something with Riley. Some people theorize that she'll eventually come out as trans or some kind of queer since her emotions are different genders, though i'm not saying they are wrong or right about it.
@@Kanamo4781I’ve got a theory that she’s potentially autistic or neurodivergent in some other way as her emotions aren’t harmonious or homogenous. I haven’t seen 2 yet, so I may be wrong on that, but it would make some sense how she has such a quick and strong response to each emotion.
It just says so much to me that in such an astute and thoughtful exploration of human emotion, Mom's psyche is ruled by sadness and Dad's is ruled by anger. It's heartening to see that in the years following this movie's release, it seems like more men are developing healthier relationships with their feelings as humans.
24:49 Such an _incredibly_ ironic scene. Here, we have a _fictitious_ representation of an _imaginary_ friend, but his sacrifice feels so incredibly _real._
I love this movie. I don’t quite understand why they went with the 4 negative and 1 positive emotion model (especially because disgust was described more neutral than its name might suggest) but it works really well with this movie.
This movie is fantastic, but I also think it is important in helping both adults and children develop a common language for expressing their feelings. I have heard many stories of people talking to their kids and using the language of this movie to help them express themselves. I think the greatest legacy of this movie will be many more children growing into emotionally healthier adults.
I'm pretty bad at crying watching movies, as in I rarely do it. Riley reuniting with her parents was the first time I did. Also, Riley's dad is played by the same guy as Lucy's dad in Fallout. And he plays another dad in Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, so that's definitely a kind of role he's very good at. 😊
Cine Therapy did a reaction (a couple I think) on Inside Out, and the topic was about Toxic Positivity (Joy, and how she kept trying to repress Sadness, and then realizing Sadness' healthy effect on a person).
I had a thought when you mentioned that the mom and dad's emotions all looked like them/looked the same while Riley's all looked different. I wonder if it could be a nod to her not knowing who she is yet since she's so young, where as parents/adults tend to know who they are so the emotions are who they are
The sequel hits so much harder because it’s just SO much more RELATABLE. I refuse to watch it ever again for the same reason you refused to watch this one again 😭
The fact that they did this twice with Inside Out 2 is amazing. I related heavy with both. With running to run away from home and appreciating what I have with my family and the second one had me relate with anxiety as I'm still working on it, but both made me cry warm tears at the end.
Funny you should mention babies born in a tough situation, feeling sadness or torment before anything else, I though there was no movie on earth that could hit me like a Pixar movie. Then Guadiand Vol 3 comes out and Rocket's first word being "hurts" rips me to pieces
For me, this is the most emotionally damaging movie Pixar has ever made. I literally can’t watch this movie without crying so hard I can barely breath.😭😭 I actually avoided rewatching it until the month before Inside Out 2 came out because I didn’t want to feel that severe heartbreak again.
There are 3 moments in cinema that will ALWAYS get me choked up: The ending reunion scene (The Color Purple) / Brooks was here (The Shawshank Redemption) / Take her to the moon for me (Bing-Bong from Inside Out). I always know I'm gonna shed some tears, and I actively embrace it.
This movie is so incredibly brilliant on so many levels... for all the bright colors and silly characters, it's one of the most insightful, nuanced explorations of the development of the human psyche ever set to screen. And that opening piece of music, 'Bundle of Joy', is one of the most enchanting, beautiful and pure melodies I can remember.
If you follow the United Pixar theory, all Pixar movies take place in the same universe. Monsters Inc sees monsters using the laugher of children to power their city. To do this they visit children's bedrooms at nights and make them laugh with jokes and silly antics. Bing Bong looks like a Monster. thus Bing Bong is based on Riley's memories of the monster who made her laugh as an infant. thus there is a monster who looks identical to Bing Bong working at Monster's Inc. thus Bing Bong is still alive.
Can’t wait for the second reaction. YOU ARE MY FAVVVV REACTORRRR I ALWAYS CRY AND LAUGH OUT LOUD WITH YOU. Been watching a couple years too❤❤ you’re awesome always stay you
Hey Natalie! Most of the time I avoid seeing reactors re-watching movies, mainly because us viewers don't usually get the same reaction as when a reactor sees a movie/TV show for the 1st time. With that said, I felt that I had to watch your INSIDE OUT reaction because I know u have a not so great memory retention & u can be highly emotional even w/a re-watch. So, it's kinda like u watching it for the 1st time.😊 I have only watched INSIDE OUT once all the way thru. I didn't want to put myself thru emotional torture by watching this movie multiple times. It's bad enough that I watch reactors' clips of the movie & it gets me crying. I'm a very empathetic person. I kinda saw myself in Riley's character. I was 12 yrs old when my family moved. It was just to the next town over, but I was starting junior high in a new district w/none of my old friends. My old school hadn't taught me half of the stuff they were teaching @ my new school, plus the added trauma of having to dress up for PE amongst other kids for the 1st time. I'm telling u my 1st school semester was rough. I was a mess when Bing Bong slowly faded away. Although I don't really remember having an imaginary friend, my mother told me I did. The only reason this came up was because my youngest sister (7 1/2 yrs younger) was caught talking to & playing with somebody my mom couldn't see. My mom said I did the same thing when I was little.😄 I asked her when I stopped having an imaginary friend. She said "Around 7 or 8 yrs old." She told me that my youngest sister & I were the only ones out of us siblings that did that. Thing is, I know this is gonna sound nuts, but I have seen ghosts/spirits off & on throughout my life. It kinda got me thinking that maybe my imaginary friend wasn't so imaginary.😬 Anyway, great reaction & commentary. The movie's perfect 10 across the board is well deserved.😊👍
I love the idea that Riley’s feelings sometimes control the emotions and not the other way around. On first watch I didn’t get Sadness’s behavior, with her being erratic and not wanting to mess things up, only to do it again and again. It only makes sense once you realize that it’s Riley’s true feelings coming out and affecting how the emotions behave, even if they don’t understand it. It’s not Sadness making the core memories sad, its how Riley feels about the memories now. god i love this movie man
I remember watching this after it's release to video. Everyone said it was so sad, and traumatic. Definitely not a kids movie, but one aimed at grownups. Pretty cleverly done.
Brilliant movie that will stand the test of time! The depth of understanding behind the clever and entertaining script is honestly science communication at its very best ❤
I saw this in the cinema when it released and I have not sat and watched it fully since, only in these type of reaction formats. I was 13 when I moved from England to Australia and while it was not a big culture shock or anything, it was one of the hardest things I have ever gone through. I'm 32 now and wouldn't change it and am now an Australian Citizen. But this movie hit me so freaking hard. The core memories going dark and losing BOTH Joy and Sadness is a perfect representation of depression. Unfortunately, as an undiagnosed Autistic, I didn't feel I could open up to my parents at the time so it lingered in me for a long time, even after I had accepted my new life. I haven't watched the sequel yet as I was scared to see it in cinemas after how I was affected the first time. I'm waiting for it to be on Disney+ so I can watch it safely at home and be able to pause it if it becomes too painful. It's still a brilliant film and I recognise how it has helped so many people. My M-I-L actually uses it in her work with troubled children on a psych ward.
One conversation around the movie I've really loved is you see the homogeneity in the parents emotional representation suggesting they have a strong sense of personal identity that Riley doesn't have yet and/or doesn't feel pressured to have a specific identify at this point. I'm sure there's plenty of reasons, such as character differentiation and audience awareness that also lead the writers to make each emotion distinct within Riley but I like the in world theory that as Riley ages and finds how she wants to define herself that her emotions will start to take on more of her properties. and perhaps individuals who struggle with a sense of identity for whatever reason have emotions that remain visually distinct.
It's already been mentioned in the comments but the Sequel ?!?!?!?! UGH I haven't cried like that in YEARS! It opened up a totally new bag that I don't think many adults were ready for...... Can't Wait for THAT Reaction
I’ve been through a ton of therapy as well as I became apathetic (similar to Riley). Being uprooted from my home state definitely caused disgusting crying the first time I watched this. And it still hits me pretty deeply.
I have a childhood memory similar to the one about the Golden Gate Bridge, and being disappointed it wasn't made of gold. When I was young we moved to southeastern Illinois from up north. The town we moved to was right across the Illinois/Indiana border from Vincennes, where comedian Red Skelton is from. The first time we went to Vincennes, my grandma told me we were going to drive across the Red Skelton Bridge. I was young enough I had no idea who Red Skelton was, so I imagined going across a bridge decorated with red skeletons. I, like Riley, was disappointed with the reality.
I love this movie so much and it always makes me cry, loved your reaction to this one, hope you also gonna react to the second movie, that's also an amazing movie.
There are movies that are so good that I like to rewatch on and on and there are movies that are so good that I have to be in the right emotional state to rewatch

what always gets me is the shaky sigh of relief and safety that Riley does when she's in her parent's arms
Same, it’s delivered perfectly. If you’ve ever been there yourself can actually *feel* the unburdening with her.
Same! That’s how I am with my mom. Just the comfort of your parents is not compared to anything else.

The silver lining about bing bong is that none of us will ever forget him now. He lives with every viewer.
Not me 😐
Who?
When Riley's emotions shut down, I cry. Then I cry again when she goes home and cries with her parents
The fact that this is used by many professionals in the psychology field world wide shows, how impactful it is.

Inside Out has one of the most beautiful and emotionally powerful scores in film history, especially the main theme “Bundle Of Joy”. Michael Giacchino should have won an Oscar for this, but he wasn’t even nominated!
I have seen this movie dozens of times and cannot get past Bing Bong and the family reunited with dry eyes. Not once.
Just watched this for the first time with my son and THAT scene was one of the few to make me start crying. We all have to let go of our childhood at some point as hard as it is.
No matter what I’m watching if I see an inside out reaction it’s an automatic click, and I cry everytime 😭😭😭
Me too.😢
This and Coco are 2 of the greatest movies ever.... I said it. Both have incredible messages for younger people.
Only Pixar can make such sad movies that even an adult will cry like a child😭💔🔥
And then WDAS said "hold my beer" with Encanto...
@@unvoicedapollo3318 I saw Encanto, but I wasn't impressed at all...
Dreamworks, Sony animations. Come on bro
24:10 😭😭😭 There is no running away from this scene, I'm trying to hold myself together but the tears were too powerful 😂💀 I was like "fck don't cry don't cry ahhhhhh god dxmmit"
This was exactly the kind of reaction I was hoping for from you, Nat! The kind of humor in this screenplay, combined with your emotional honesty and spontaneous energy, is a match made in high heaven!
Few reactors appreciate all the brilliant little jokes in this movie as you just did! Can't wait for your reaction to its sequel!❤😊
I great design detail with the racks of memories - it's not just a maze, it's also the folds of the cerebrum of a brain.
The script of these Inside Out movies are so cleverly written
I used to teach Health and PE and we would use this movie during the Mental and Emotional Health Unit. We'd watch the first half and have them write a 1 to 5 sentence response to the question, "what are your thoughts about the Sad character?" The answers were usually pretty harsh...the next day of class we'd finish the movie and ask the same question...the answers were always so much longer and so incredibly beautiful. The amount of kids whose eyes were open to the fact that every emotion has its place and that it isn't only okay to open up about those emotions, but it is soooo incredibly helpful to open up and let them out. Such a great movie!
Other than Anger who's just kind of "whatever, seen it" but still neutralized, I love how even sadness is mesmerized by the "airplane".
I saw this in theaters with one of my best friends. When Bing Bong faded away, I started tearing up like a baby. Meanwhile, she started laughing out loud. Loud enough that the audience noticed. It was tragically hilarious.
It's one of my favorite memories because it was so awkwardly hilarious. I'm tearing up and she's laughing out loud.
That was my sister and I. I chuckled, looked over to see her bawling (she never cries) and I BURST out laughing. I feel so bad a decade later 😂
@@CrossOutBryce Lmao We had the opposite reaction. I'm halfway dead and get emotional pretty easily, but that's a funny story.
The best part is the awkwardness after the fact. It's worse than a phone ringing. lol
28:08 is such an amazing shot. It's a few seconds long, but it encapsulates the entire movie.
When I first saw this movie as a kid I wasn’t a huge fan, but now as an adult it’s easily one of my favorite Pixar movies. The depiction of how emotions play off of each other and growing up is so beautifully done
Amy Pohler is a good one to be starstruck by. She is so kind and accommodating. Will take photos with you and everything. And just start up a conversation. Love her.
3:33 "You have to have sadness to embrace your happiness." Congrats, you spoiled the whole movie for yourself by learning the lesson of the movie during the exposition.
"You need darkness to have happiness" is a core element to this story, so kudos for thinking of it. Interesting fact about the scene with Bing Bong: The emotion you hear in his voice is real. When Richard Kind was recording his lines he became overcome with emotions at the idea of what was happening to his character and it spilled out into his recording. It is so true to the character that they had to keep it in. Richard also did the voice of Molt, Hopper's right hand man in "A Bug's Life".
Inside out is one of my favourite movies of all time. It's shocking how much they nailed, like, EVERYTHING.
I love how every audience group, kids, teenagers and adults can get something out of it. Kids will love the funny looking characters and maybe get an inkling about the themes. Teenagers are smack dab in the middle of it or have been recently through it and living the sequel at the moment, so they can relate and adults have been through it all, good and bad, and will look upon these memories and see how they made them who they are today.
I can't praise this movie enough and the second part is as good, looking forward to Nat reacting to it.
I like how this movie teaches kids the vocabulary to express their feelings. This movie absolutely wrecked me watching it in theaters
"Take her to the Moon for me. Okay?" destroys me every time.
You keyed into one of the really insightful things early. When her mom thanks her for staying their smiling girl, you got it that it is pressure to mask her feelings. The reactor channel Cultured Bubble had a fascinating watch of this movie. She was severely damaged by her parents like that. She was punished for showing anything but happiness, so now as an adult, she doesn't know how to recognize or understand any of her other feelings and is working through therapy to try to build that. It's rough and shows how harmful that can be to have allowed and not allowed kinds of feelings.
Oh, and I tried Mint Mobile for a while. Their pricing was great, and they are one of the rare resellers that lets you do mobile wi-fi hotspot, which is cool. My only complaint was that they are on T-Mobile's network, which just doesn't have good coverage out here in the Idaho/Utah kind of area, where only Verizon has decent coverage. So I had to switch. But if T-mobile coverage works where you live, yes, I definitely recommend Mint.
It's interesting because the mom and the dad have anger and sadness, but they are not as One-sided as Riley's. Mom's Sadness is more Emotional Empathy and Understanding and Dad's Anger is more protective and enduring. So I also feel the older you get, the more sides the emotions get.
They also look more alike for adults, so I wonder if they're trying to convey something about how they become more in sync with each other?
@@neilbiggs1353 Well we see in 2 that other kids Riley's age also look the same, even in 1's post credits, so it might be something with Riley. Some people theorize that she'll eventually come out as trans or some kind of queer since her emotions are different genders, though i'm not saying they are wrong or right about it.
@@Kanamo4781I’ve got a theory that she’s potentially autistic or neurodivergent in some other way as her emotions aren’t harmonious or homogenous. I haven’t seen 2 yet, so I may be wrong on that, but it would make some sense how she has such a quick and strong response to each emotion.
It just says so much to me that in such an astute and thoughtful exploration of human emotion, Mom's psyche is ruled by sadness and Dad's is ruled by anger. It's heartening to see that in the years following this movie's release, it seems like more men are developing healthier relationships with their feelings as humans.
Or you just met more men
@@samwallaceart288 I've met more men of a younger generation, for sure.
@@captainsplifford in what way are men healthier do you think?
24:49 Such an _incredibly_ ironic scene. Here, we have a _fictitious_ representation of an _imaginary_ friend, but his sacrifice feels so incredibly _real._
I'm so sorry... but the little face Anger makes at 20:34 when the TripleDent Gum commercial pops up again is adorable and TOO FUNNY!
I love this movie. I don’t quite understand why they went with the 4 negative and 1 positive emotion model (especially because disgust was described more neutral than its name might suggest) but it works really well with this movie.
I love that joy is the antagonist, she's a great representation of toxic positivity, & how that can be bad
Yes her character arc is a representation of growing past toxic positivity. No she is not the villain of the movie. Learn the fucking difference.
I've rewatched this movie so many times and I still cry at Bing Bong's death
Everything that bothers a baby is LITERALLY the worst thing that ever happened to them so far in life.
Natalie can’t handle this 😭
Haven't even watched it, and just know she's gonna be bawling. ✊️😔
This movie is fantastic, but I also think it is important in helping both adults and children develop a common language for expressing their feelings. I have heard many stories of people talking to their kids and using the language of this movie to help them express themselves. I think the greatest legacy of this movie will be many more children growing into emotionally healthier adults.
I'm pretty bad at crying watching movies, as in I rarely do it. Riley reuniting with her parents was the first time I did.
Also, Riley's dad is played by the same guy as Lucy's dad in Fallout. And he plays another dad in Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, so that's definitely a kind of role he's very good at. 😊
Cine Therapy did a reaction (a couple I think) on Inside Out, and the topic was about Toxic Positivity (Joy, and how she kept trying to repress Sadness, and then realizing Sadness' healthy effect on a person).
I had a thought when you mentioned that the mom and dad's emotions all looked like them/looked the same while Riley's all looked different. I wonder if it could be a nod to her not knowing who she is yet since she's so young, where as parents/adults tend to know who they are so the emotions are who they are
The sequel hits so much harder because it’s just SO much more RELATABLE. I refuse to watch it ever again for the same reason you refused to watch this one again 😭
Maze? the brain is modeled after the folds of the brain structure!
"Ior quality" was a very good way of putting that!
I like the subtext of decisions taken from a place of anger are destructive, i.e. running away at 11 years old
To be fair, there are times for anger. Anger is the primary protective emotion for when something is legitimately threatening ones wellbeing
The fact that they did this twice with Inside Out 2 is amazing. I related heavy with both. With running to run away from home and appreciating what I have with my family and the second one had me relate with anxiety as I'm still working on it, but both made me cry warm tears at the end.
That Home Depot ad music has no right to go that hard
Also love your adverts for Mint Mobile chum! Love it when TH-camrs get inventive with their ads instead of just doing ad-reads.
If they ever made an Inside Out 3, it will *break* humanity. The theaters will be full of sobbing adults.
Funny you should mention babies born in a tough situation, feeling sadness or torment before anything else, I though there was no movie on earth that could hit me like a Pixar movie. Then Guadiand Vol 3 comes out and Rocket's first word being "hurts" rips me to pieces
29:34 I have never felt more attacked by something with such painful accuracy before.
For me, this is the most emotionally damaging movie Pixar has ever made. I literally can’t watch this movie without crying so hard I can barely breath.😭😭
I actually avoided rewatching it until the month before Inside Out 2 came out because I didn’t want to feel that severe heartbreak again.
I love your insight about casting, share any and all stories you have~
There are 3 moments in cinema that will ALWAYS get me choked up: The ending reunion scene (The Color Purple) / Brooks was here (The Shawshank Redemption) / Take her to the moon for me (Bing-Bong from Inside Out). I always know I'm gonna shed some tears, and I actively embrace it.
This movie is so incredibly brilliant on so many levels... for all the bright colors and silly characters, it's one of the most insightful, nuanced explorations of the development of the human psyche ever set to screen. And that opening piece of music, 'Bundle of Joy', is one of the most enchanting, beautiful and pure melodies I can remember.
Agree this is so perfect.. no flaws... The story of sequel is even better... But this first movie for me is more emotional than the sequel...
That moment at the end gets me everytime. Like Cinemawins said: THAT! Thats Katharsis.
If you follow the United Pixar theory, all Pixar movies take place in the same universe. Monsters Inc sees monsters using the laugher of children to power their city. To do this they visit children's bedrooms at nights and make them laugh with jokes and silly antics.
Bing Bong looks like a Monster. thus Bing Bong is based on Riley's memories of the monster who made her laugh as an infant. thus there is a monster who looks identical to Bing Bong working at Monster's Inc. thus Bing Bong is still alive.
I’m so excited for you to watch Inside Out 2!! It’s absolutely as good as this first one and I personally found it even more relatable 💜💜
This hit home for me especially when I watched it. I was her age when I moved from MN to TX and it was quite the culture shock.
"I'd love that but some of us have to work."
Damn I felt that.
You should watch Elemental! It's another pixar movie I think you'd really enjoy.
Can’t wait for the second reaction. YOU ARE MY FAVVVV REACTORRRR I ALWAYS CRY AND LAUGH OUT LOUD WITH YOU. Been watching a couple years too❤❤ you’re awesome always stay you
Oh bless you❤ good luck with the sequel
Hey Natalie! Most of the time I avoid seeing reactors re-watching movies, mainly because us viewers don't usually get the same reaction as when a reactor sees a movie/TV show for the 1st time. With that said, I felt that I had to watch your INSIDE OUT reaction because I know u have a not so great memory retention & u can be highly emotional even w/a re-watch. So, it's kinda like u watching it for the 1st time.😊
I have only watched INSIDE OUT once all the way thru. I didn't want to put myself thru emotional torture by watching this movie multiple times. It's bad enough that I watch reactors' clips of the movie & it gets me crying. I'm a very empathetic person.
I kinda saw myself in Riley's character. I was 12 yrs old when my family moved. It was just to the next town over, but I was starting junior high in a new district w/none of my old friends. My old school hadn't taught me half of the stuff they were teaching @ my new school, plus the added trauma of having to dress up for PE amongst other kids for the 1st time. I'm telling u my 1st school semester was rough.
I was a mess when Bing Bong slowly faded away. Although I don't really remember having an imaginary friend, my mother told me I did. The only reason this came up was because my youngest sister (7 1/2 yrs younger) was caught talking to & playing with somebody my mom couldn't see. My mom said I did the same thing when I was little.😄 I asked her when I stopped having an imaginary friend. She said "Around 7 or 8 yrs old." She told me that my youngest sister & I were the only ones out of us siblings that did that. Thing is, I know this is gonna sound nuts, but I have seen ghosts/spirits off & on throughout my life. It kinda got me thinking that maybe my imaginary friend wasn't so imaginary.😬
Anyway, great reaction & commentary. The movie's perfect 10 across the board is well deserved.😊👍
"😂😂😂 She got hit by a meteor no big deal" water came out of my nose haha🤣
I love the idea that Riley’s feelings sometimes control the emotions and not the other way around. On first watch I didn’t get Sadness’s behavior, with her being erratic and not wanting to mess things up, only to do it again and again. It only makes sense once you realize that it’s Riley’s true feelings coming out and affecting how the emotions behave, even if they don’t understand it.
It’s not Sadness making the core memories sad, its how Riley feels about the memories now. god i love this movie man
Why does Nat always make the most entertaining ads
Natalie was one of the only ones that didn´t hate sadness in the beginning, NICE!
Oh BingBong 🥲
I remember watching this after it's release to video. Everyone said it was so sad, and traumatic. Definitely not a kids movie, but one aimed at grownups. Pretty cleverly done.
Brilliant movie that will stand the test of time! The depth of understanding behind the clever and entertaining script is honestly science communication at its very best ❤
I cry every single time I see this movie. My kids look at me funny and I just tell them “one day you will understand and you will cry too”
I saw this in the cinema when it released and I have not sat and watched it fully since, only in these type of reaction formats. I was 13 when I moved from England to Australia and while it was not a big culture shock or anything, it was one of the hardest things I have ever gone through. I'm 32 now and wouldn't change it and am now an Australian Citizen.
But this movie hit me so freaking hard. The core memories going dark and losing BOTH Joy and Sadness is a perfect representation of depression. Unfortunately, as an undiagnosed Autistic, I didn't feel I could open up to my parents at the time so it lingered in me for a long time, even after I had accepted my new life. I haven't watched the sequel yet as I was scared to see it in cinemas after how I was affected the first time. I'm waiting for it to be on Disney+ so I can watch it safely at home and be able to pause it if it becomes too painful.
It's still a brilliant film and I recognise how it has helped so many people. My M-I-L actually uses it in her work with troubled children on a psych ward.
One conversation around the movie I've really loved is you see the homogeneity in the parents emotional representation suggesting they have a strong sense of personal identity that Riley doesn't have yet and/or doesn't feel pressured to have a specific identify at this point. I'm sure there's plenty of reasons, such as character differentiation and audience awareness that also lead the writers to make each emotion distinct within Riley but I like the in world theory that as Riley ages and finds how she wants to define herself that her emotions will start to take on more of her properties. and perhaps individuals who struggle with a sense of identity for whatever reason have emotions that remain visually distinct.
It's already been mentioned in the comments but the Sequel ?!?!?!?! UGH I haven't cried like that in YEARS! It opened up a totally new bag that I don't think many adults were ready for......
Can't Wait for THAT Reaction
I’ve been through a ton of therapy as well as I became apathetic (similar to Riley). Being uprooted from my home state definitely caused disgusting crying the first time I watched this. And it still hits me pretty deeply.
I hope you revisiting this means Inside Out 2 is coming! Now that movie, WRECKED me. My goodness it's so good!
This is one of my favs! I remember ugly crying during my first watch (I may or may not still ball my eyes out everytime....)
I have a childhood memory similar to the one about the Golden Gate Bridge, and being disappointed it wasn't made of gold. When I was young we moved to southeastern Illinois from up north. The town we moved to was right across the Illinois/Indiana border from Vincennes, where comedian Red Skelton is from. The first time we went to Vincennes, my grandma told me we were going to drive across the Red Skelton Bridge. I was young enough I had no idea who Red Skelton was, so I imagined going across a bridge decorated with red skeletons. I, like Riley, was disappointed with the reality.
Deadass I thought the first day of winter everything would snow overnight lol
I love this movie so much and it always makes me cry, loved your reaction to this one, hope you also gonna react to the second movie, that's also an amazing movie.
There are movies that are so good that I like to rewatch on and on and there are movies that are so good that I have to be in the right emotional state to rewatch
Such a wonderful film. Glad you watched again.
Love this movie ❤️I think this is one of those movies that everyone needs to see
