the emotions replicate how Riley is feeling: Riley is sad about moving to a new home so rightfully Sadness has the most emotional power, despite what the others think. Sadness isn't doing it on purpose, it's because Riley feels that way.
I read the theory that Sadness starts causing all those changes in memories because she instinctively knows that's what Riley needs, but it's not something she consciously knows.
@@lyangray452sadness says "idk whats wrong with me" its definitely something in her " programing" as an emotion leading her to do that that she is unware of, its like she cant controll it
Spoilers for Inside Out 2 . . . . . . . . . . . This was actually something that became super obvious with how Inside Out 2 ended and showed the trail that led Joy to the console and how Riley is in even more control of her emotions in Inside Out 2. Riley in general has an incredibly strong handle on her emotions which makes a lot of sense when you remember how happy her childhood was before moving away from her hometown. She never, from what we're shown, experienced a super hardlife or trauma up until she fell into a depressive episode in Inside Out 1. It makes a lot of sense for her to react this way to a super huge change though as it's always hard on kids when they experience drastic life changes. But anyway back to Sadness and how she's getting drawn to the core memories, to the console, etc; you're so absolutely correct that it's Riley calling on her every time she interferes or "does something wrong." The other emotions see it as her doing bad, but Riley is calling on her because she knows she feels incredibly sad and wants to be allowed to feel her sadness about moving away from everything she's ever known. It's so cool to think about how Riley doesn't let her emotions control her the older she gets. It's so interesting to think about the wording there too lol. She controls her emotions more and more compared to her emotions controlling her.
It always amazes me how people don't immediately put two and two together that Riley is clearly grieving...she lost her home, friends, hockey team, safe place, memories. It makes complete sense that Sadness should be getting involved. That's what happens when you grieve...previously happy memories can become "blue", though it doesn't have to be forever. Ultimately, the writers did an amazing job with the misdirect. Everyone is always angry with Sadness when really it's Joy that's promoting an environment of toxic positivity. It's Joy that prevents the first sad core memory from going into its allotted place just because it's not happy. It takes a whole movie for her to understand that life isn't only joy. Every emotion has value. Sadness wouldn't be in headquarters if she didn't have a purpose.
lol nowadays I watch this movie and I'm always surprised that people don't see it sooner. Every time we get to Riley crying in school -- when she explicitly says that "we go out on the lake almost every weekend", something she will never get to do again, and then sadness colors the memory and she says that "everything is different now" -- I feel like the movie is giving away that Sadness is just acting on Riley's natural feelings of being homesick and nostalgic for what she's leaving behind. But obviously that's hindsight speaking. Almost no one watching it for the first time makes that connection!
@@kiml.1565 First time I watched it, my mom was dying of cancer. And my grief had already begun, if that makes any sense. So I always feel like I maybe had a bit of a bias going in to this movie...I struggle with mental illness, depressive states, active grieving...of course the movie seemed obvious lol But I know not everyone is swimming in a soup of emotion all the time.
Exactly this movie did a perfect job at showing that it's okay to feel sad. It's apart of the healing process, we have to allow it and thennn move one❤ It may be one of the movies that some ppl have to watch a few times before it sink in
Same. Every reaction I've seen to this movie is people dumping all over sadness. When I first watched this movie I thought Joy was annoying, unfair & overbearing
Cinema Therapy said it best, there is a type of love that is only experienced through sadness & a type of joy that is only experienced through grief. Rewatching this movie now hits different. A really close friend of mine passed 2 years ago of cancer & every happy memory I have of her is now coloured in blue but that's what makes them beautiful.
Riley returned home BECAUSE she was sad. Part of the reason she ran away was because she could no longer pretend to be always her parents' "happy girl." And in the end, they could finally share their sadness with her, too. Sadness and Joy together created a memory that joins those two emotions and helped create a new Family Island.
They said they hate sadness but most of the time they're teary eyed and crying. It's not bad being sad. It makes you stronger and better. Every day is not always cupcakes and rainbows.
i feel like this movie is a great representation of how depression feels, its so much more than sadness, its an empty feeling that ruins everything you loved because it feels like everything is meaningless, its brutal and numb not just sad
When I get depressed, I can't conceptualize being happy. That's what makes it so scary/dangerous. Logically, I know that things will get better, but I can't FEEL like things will. It tricks the mind into thinking drastic actions are a good idea, because it feels like that's the only way to stop that emptiness.
Most people watching this always hate sadness in the beginning and cry when bing bong died or when sadness fixed everything. It was made on purpose by the creators but still. When you contain sadness, it will always manifest harder. Thank you two for making the approach true 🙏🙏🙏
@@IDyce88 I mean, she only comes across as annoying if you take Joy's side right off the bat and ignore the fact that Joy is emotionally mistreating her.
I feel like the way they construct the memory later on, Sadness didn't even "change" the memory, she rather... "highlighted" a Sadness that was already implemented in the memory, you know, "nostalgia" for something from the past, evoluting into melancholy, a grief for a life that has radically changed. These memories are Joyful because they were Sad, and they're Sad because they were Joyful. Feeling Sadness about the past that is lost doesn't make your past hurtful or terrible, it makes it beautiful and worth having been lived and experienced. The Emotions (characters) aren't creating the emotion within Riley, they're rather expressing them, or bringing forward what's already existing within Riley.
I love joy as this happy emotion. But man, was she so controlling. I loved that she accepted sadness as an actual emotion for Riley to need at the end, though.
It's especially obvious when she changed Riley's dream. Dreams are a way for us to cope with our emotions and our subconcious, Joy keeps refraining every single one of Riley's healthy ways of dealing with the trauma that has been moving to her. *Joy* is the one who creates the imbalance within Riley, not Sadness.
A lot of people always be hating on sadness even though it’s not her fault. The reason she keeps touching the core memories because it’s her instincts be of the situation they are in. Joy was being a little controlling when she try to make Riley and everyone else to be happy until in the end Riley need all of the emotions
that's the point; an average person is balanced in their emotions, but even from the begining we see there is WAY TOO MUCH yellow in Riley...there is an imbalance...it's all Joy.
@@IDyce88 she’s not some anomaly. The idea is that big changes in the life of a child who is growing up requires a more complex mixture of emotions than just the one at a time emotions a child initially experienced.
@@MARYWTHER I have seen it and it is true. It's funny that Alegria still hasn't quite learned that she has to stop trying to control everything. In the end, you learn something else from these movies besides the importance of managing your emotions well. You learn how bad things go when in a team, one always puts himself above the others and becomes authoritarian.
@@melindamercier6811 where did i say she was an anomaly, did i use that word? every person in the world is different. i was pointing out that an "average person" (which i say only metaphorically for the sake of this discusion) usually is more balanced in their emotions: happy, angry, sad, fearful etc. Riley however her head is filled with yellow and all the core memories are yellow and Joy is the most bossy. All this is insinuating there is an imbalance which is part of change and growing up (likely brought on by the fact she has to move house and deal with all the new difficulties). and then sadness becomes what people call "annoying" which is really just her showing Riley's depression.
Sadness doesn't just seem to control sorrow; she's also in charge of nostalgia. Riley's memories, including her core memories, are of times that can't be revisited now that Riley is older, and have people and places that Riley can't see anymore because she moved. Even if playing hockey makes her happy, and the memory of her first goal is a nice one, it still has sadness to it because she can't spend the weekends out on the lake with her parents anymore. That's why she felt the need to touch the memories. They might be happy, but they were also sad now.
@@grimdarkmalarkey5402 Yes, empathy...I couldn't find the right word earlier. I haven't seen Inside Out 2 yet, but it seems like a mini retcon by adding new characters.
Just to remind you guys. Sadness is not an actual sentient being that makes its own decisions. Riley was sad. Sadness did not make her that way. Riley enacted Sadness.
Makes perfect sense they wanted Riley to suppress Sadness at the beginning; recall it was also Riley's mom who tried to push her into being happy. It's a parent thing.
I would argue that mom didn’t push her to be happy; mom was appreciating that Riley wasn’t making it harder while they were dealing with messy adult stuff.
Yeah, it's a harmful thing to say to your child, because it puts pressure on them. At the same time, it's not something done maliciously. The mom wasn't trying to be mean/controlling, she went into it with good intentions. Considering her and the dad's response to Riley coming back home and breaking down crying after trying to run away, the parents are doing their best to help Rilely be in a healthy mindset.
@@grimdarkmalarkey5402 I wasn't trying to say that parents force their kids to suppress their emotions out of malice, though in hindsight I can see how it might come across that way. I guess what I was trying to say was that parents instinctively want so much for their children to be happy that they can inadvertently prioritize that over what's actually better for them overall.
Joy was too controlling. She never allowed Riley to feel sad, especially when it was absolutely necessary. And I like how so many reactors like you guys are having the reactions towards Sadness that you have. I feel like the filmmakers did it on purpose, to get people to change their perspective. I do like feeling Joy, but when it suppresses other emotions, it's not healthy. The mother may have just been expressing gratitude toward Riley for keeping a happy face during a VERY stressful time, but what she didn't realize was she put pressure on Riley to stay happy regardless of how she truly feels. That brings up an important mental health issue called "toxic positivity". It's disingenuous. It's unhealthy. And it's unhelpful. It's much better for people to feel their feelings when the situation calls for it. And it shouldn't be supressed for others convenience.
40:41 This scene, to me, can also be a metaphor for how difficult it is to get yourself out of a pit of sadness and depression and get the happiness to rise above again. It's like every time you start to feel happy, some imaginary weight pulls you back down again and you're right where you started.
Amy Poehler plays Joy. Joy in this movie is called “Toxic Positivity”. Joy was controlling of every emotion, and wanted all happy memories during the day, but was very upset when moving, that the other emotions took over. Joy literally supresses Sadness in a tiny circle, which is the reason Riley cries at school. Joy trying to stop Sadness from putting a sad core memory in there is what shuts down the islands and causes Joy & Sadness to be sent to longterm. Joy tries to make Bing Bong laugh instead of comforting him (which is what Sadness does because she is empathetic). Joy is constantly trying to fix Sadness throughout the movie when you cannot change what the emotions are about. And Joy stops Sadness from getting in the tube to headquarters with her which took the time for them possibly going through the tub away & forcing Joy to almost be forgotten to figure out how important it is for Riley to feel the other emotions.
Great reaction! I think the reason the other emotions were able to touch the memories without changing them is because Joy "allowed " them to do their jobs. But she always tried to block out Sadness. There's an expression that says what we resist persists. The more Joy tried to contain Sadness, the stronger her effect was because she wasn't being allowed to do her job.
This is the epitome of ‘toxic positivity’ and what happens when you don’t deal with your emotions all of them in a healthy way. You become numb detached and feel nothing. That’s why sadness is vital as a wise sentient robot once said ‘In the darkest hour there will be a light.’
15:14 no sadness is fine? 😢imagine you’re at a funeral of someone you loved very very much (sorry for giving you that image) and you don’t feel any sadness at all…. Also I saw you cry in many many movies so your sadness is important. 😂😂😂 nice reaction
I remember there was a series about an anger management therapy group. Most of the patients had trouble controlling their anger, but there was one who stood out because the opposite was true: he was unable to express anger under any circumstances.
It’s interesting that you noticed that the mom’s lead emotion is sadness, because it can be interpreted as sadness turning into empathy & compassion as we get older and mentally mature.
JV and Jane, I was looking forward to your reactions to this. I do think the movie is doing something really cool here, by daring to show that Joy's insistence on "100% JOY ALL THE TIME!" is incredibly toxic. Riley has reasons to feel sad, and it's healthy for her to be able to express that. But between her mother's pressure to stay "their happy girl" and Joy's insistence that Riley is not allowed to feel sad, Riley becomes depressed (and numb, which is so realistic to depression). For me, this movie does a great job of showing Sadness's importance as a balanced part of our feelings. Sometimes we just need to let ourselves feel how we feel (and it was so touching to see you both get caught up in the tears here). Jane, hope your week got better!
This one definitely hit hard for me. The inner struggle of you always trying to force a happy face when you know you just .....cant... they played this out perfectly 👌
I loved that you reacted to all the little glimpses into the minds of people and animals during the credits. Most reactors leave that out. I find the cat's mind especially hilarious!😹😹
I’m glad you guys got why she had to feel sad in the end. A lot of people are mad at sadness in the beginning (because the movie sets it up like you should be), but she is just instinctively trying to do her job to help Riley. The problem was never Sadness it was the other emotions preventing her from helping Riley grieve. You also recognised the pressure her mum accidentally put on her to repress her sadness when she was thanking her for “staying our happy girl.” Instead of grieving that night, Sadness was pushed aside to keep her parents happy. This meant she was unexpectedly confronted with this unprocessed grief in the middle of class the next day. Sadness couldn’t stop or understand what she was doing because grief is an uncontrollable feeling, that can be confusing if you aren’t consciously aware of why you are grieving. All round great reaction to a great movie 😊
actually it's about autism...the main character, Riley, is autistic. yes it has the emotions and humour and everything as well...but the underlying important part of this was the fact hat Riley is emotionally everywhere because of autism...but around 70% of viewers missed this because they so ignorant.
@@IDyce88where did you get that from? While a lot of doctors and or mental health professionals have stated the movie help understand someone on the spectrum. A great learning tool. The co-writer stated they wrote the script after seeing the different emotions their child went through as they were growing up, however, didn't mention anything on autism. Regardless, it's a very good movie and a great teaching tool. If I'm incorrect and have missed an article or interview mentioning it was focused on autism then I apologize. That being said, there is no need to call people ignorant. It is ok to correct but don't be rude about it. ❤❤❤
@@Ming3484 even if Riley doesn't have autism she most definitley has depression, that was confirmed. The thing is many psychological issues can be interconnected; depression, panic attacks, anxiety, ADD, ADHD...a lot of people have a combination and whoever made Inside Out if they didn;t give Riley autism they missed an opportunity IMO. i'm calling people ignorant merely because important issues liek mental disorders/ disabilites goes over so many peoples head...they are too busy focusing on the mundane sides of a film like the childish humour. They don't lok at the deep and sophisticated sides of the film. look don;t get me wrong Inside Out is a brilliant film i loved it and i for one felt they should have made a sequel to it LONG before now. It shouldn't have taken them years to do a sequel...if anything this proves part of my point...a film about "emotions" clearly wasn't considered important enough. Instead they were making pointless sequels to things like Toy Story or Frozen or Shrek...and those have already had their time in the spotlight. I have autism myself and i represent an autism group...i lead an autism group...it's my responsibility to ensure anything to do with it gets heard. like i said Inside Out is about emotions AND autism.
@@IDyce88 believe me, I understand where you are coming from. I myself have been dealing with depression, and anxiety/panic attacks since I was around 15, that's 25 years. Yes, it would be great if more films on mental health were out. Sad thing is, people don't really like watching those types of films. The majority of the time movies are a way for people to just forget all the stress of daily life and just lose themselves in a land of make believe. I think that's one of the reasons I love Inside Out. Yes, some will miss the point, however, there have been many others that, by the end of the movie, they saw the deeper meaning of the movie and this opened a way to conversations. The movie was made in a way that people were laughing and crying and enjoying the movie and without even knowing they were learning. I think I am repeating myself so I'll end it here. Though I'll say this first, I think it's great that you actively partake in the education and spread awareness on Autism and wish you well.
The single shot at 47:24 is so beautiful and it encapsulates the entire idea of the movie into a couple seconds. I have always had the teeth falling out dream growing up. It has something to do with you worrying about your appearance. Makes sense for me since I had speech therapy, a turn-key retainer and braces twice. I am very self-conscious about my smile.
Something that I've only realized within the last month, despite seeing this when it came out in 2015, and watching it many, many times since then: When the console goes dark, the darkness originates at the idea bulb, and spreads like a rash........aka, a "rash idea".
Also I love how it also could be teaching in order to be happy and not depressed u have to be sad to get out of depression to then get to a happy stage hopefully
Fun fact! To make the movie more relatable to audiences in Japan, the vegetable that Rilely hates was changed from broccoli to bell peppers! That's the stereotypical food for kids to hate.
All the problems in the film are caused by Joy trying to suppress sadness. Riley was upset about moving and coming to terms with a stage of her life being over. Joy tries to put this fake gloss over everything, Riley doesn't need to be happy all the time, that's a psycho.
40:55 This scene with Bing Bong brought back memories of the Jennifer Walters' scene in 'She Hulk', when Bruce is trying to figure out her threshold for stress, Jen mentions Bing Bong... "Oh put on a Pixar movie"... "When Bing Bong jumps out of the wagon in Inside Out..."
I watched this today and it healed a bit of the little girl inside ❤Saddness is my favorite she’s so sweet and adorable 💙all of them are cool especially in everyone that was a nice touch ✨✨✨
I was in my mid 40s when i saw this. Im normally pretty reserved, but Jesus Christ this was so well done. I was in pieces. Especially after Bing Bong just jumped out of the wagon.
This is exactly why I love this movie in the beginning we didn’t really like sadness and wanted her to go away but in the end she still pops up like real life we try so hard to suppress sadness when we actually do need a good cry every now and then
@cometboifever2294 i never disliked sadness in this movie. i was annoyed at joy not letting sadness do the job. Let the poor girl cry, she just lost her first home. she has the right to feel sad.
Jane crying after like 5 minutes of movie. Ooooooh, she's here for a world of... emotions. As for Sadness, I spoke about it on another video reacting to Inside Out, but I lived completely the opposite when I watched Inside Out. Idk if other people did too, like, if anyone wants to talk about this! But to me, it was Joy that was unbearable at the beginning of the movie. She was overbaring and loud and controlling, I hated her. Even when someone else is sad like Bing Bong, she's so hyper-focused on herself and feeling Joy that she can't event extend empathy towards Bing Bong. That's probably because I grew up surrounded by people that made me feel like... they didn't have "time" for me to express my emotions, or they had better things to do than to listen to me when I was voicing my emotions, especially my sadness, you know? Like I was an inconvenience when I was sad. Joy made me feel like these people used to make me feel. You know, the usual "get over it, it'll get better". Then during the scene with Bing Bong in the forgotten memories, I got her, I understood her and I accepted her purpose and why she was doing what she was doing. Maybe to some extent, it helped me understand also why some people cling to Joy or don't express their own sadness and don't accept when others do.
Inside out is super smart. The reason sadness was acting out and causing all this trouble to begin with.... joy was stifling her. She was taught to be happy so she pushed sadness down until ti burst out and almost ruined her life causing the other emotions to make a cascade of bad decisions leading to pure depression. Moral of the story: don't push sadness away. It will come out, you choose to let it out in safety or it'll come out when it's least convenient
I cried. I have been feeling some emotions with my real life and I always bury them. Sometimes it takes someone saying it's okay to cry to make it happen instead of being stoic
Always so funny to see how people react to sadness. For people that think of themself as nice people, some say the meanest things. "Throw her out..chain her up..handcuff her!" ... Why not add "torture her to be good" while at it? Thats the mentality of a prescription drug.
@johnpooky84 it's something every teacher provides. Depending on the grade level it can be daily (k-5 typically) or weekly (6-8) for about 10 minutes. I. K-5 it is sometimes longer. I use Inside Out to talk about how all emotions are important and you can't understand joy without sadness. If you are sad it is important to acknowledge that and allow yourself to feel that. I also do activities like social interactions BINGO, meditate and share, pedal/stem/thorn, and more.
@@jasonchambers1679 Ah, ok. Cool. Also, I understand all of those activities (Bingo is obvious, and meditate and share sounds like a variation of show-and-tell, except with feelings), except for "Pedal/stem/thorn". Never heard of that one.
Tbh this reaction annoyed me so much I almost turned it off. Grown adults, parents no less, refusing to understand how important sadness it, telling sadness to go away while simultaneously getting emotional during scenes - I mean the jokes write themselves sometimes.
Maybe you should’ve turned it off then, any normal person would get annoyed with sadness at first, until the movie explains her importance, that’s what the movie expects you to do, Stop hating
15:55 - 15:57 I don't know if the creators notice this but they cast The Joy (Lori Alan) to play Mother's Sadness. A pity that they didn't cast David Thomas (The Sorrow) to play the father's joy.
NO ONE understands sadness until later on in the film but i always understood and resonated with her because for majority of my life that i can remember anyway sadness would pilot my emotions and u need to feel it and understand it not lock it away
I've had teeth falling out dreams. It's horrible. It's like endless teeth all falling out and I keep having to spit them all out and then there's more. It's grim. That along with "i need to get home but i don't know the way and haven't packed a mountain of stuff i have with me including my cat who is now 5 cats for some reason" "I'm at school without the homework/work/revision i need for the class i also can't find in the building despite being in my 30s" and "i really need to pee but every toilet i find is either broken or fully out in the open surrounded by people"........yes i have anxiety issues why do you ask 😂
It would be crazy if Inside out was about the emotion's emotions haha. We actually had a bit of it in inside out two in the moment Joy gets angry. And about the bugs, toys, etc, in the end of the first movie we saw the dog emotions, so i think every alive thing has emotions. ( sorry for my bad english )
I seriously get pissed off when reactors immediately hate Sadness, like if you had any empathy or understanding of human nature at all you’d know how essential sadness and all the emotions are. When I watched this for the first time I immediately liked Sadness because I knew she had a huge role to play. Joy is supposed to represent Toxic Positivity.
I think some people who get mad at sadness also get mad at their own feelings of sadness. It's a projection in a way. At least that's how it was when I first watched it. I had to go through that understanding myself and remember that it's necessary and not a problem. But for those of us who were raised that sadness is a problem, this is a beautiful reminder that sadness and all our other emotions give better perspective on the others.
This movie was so important to teaching my daughter to identify emotions and that sometimes emotions “mix” and that emotions don’t necessarily equate to logic. It’s ok to feel what you feel (even when it may not be logical); sometimes we feel multiple emotions at one time, You don’t have to rationalize. Really important in “puberty”. 😉 I ❤️ this movie.
@@tionakthe creators already said they only made it blue to prevent similarities with Tinker bell. the creators also said that they had to create some intentional plot holes in the movie for marketing purposes, like how Riley's emotions are different genders compared to how other people have same gendered emotions
Its so funny how people dont realize that sadness was making things blue because riley was sad, like she needed to Express her sadness and feelings. But joy wont let her until the end.
I promise you the second movie will make you cry even harder lol the second one made me cry like 3-4 times...the first movie only made me cry once and less too
And the moral of the story is, we need all of the emotions, even sadness. I mean, not even Joy is happy all the time. Something just hit me... they are showing us that it's ok for girls to like hockey, which I love, I am all for breaking gender roles, noone can tell us what we should and shouldn't be interested in, just based on our gender. Still, what is the first thing we see, when we enter the "control centre" of the dad, who is a man? All male emotions, watching hockey, which feels kinda stereotypical, and odd. First they tell us that girls can like hockey, then they seem to think that it's a male thing. Oh well, maybe I'm reading too much into it, either way, it's a good movie.
yeah the second one hits HARDDDD as an adult 😭😭😭 man oh man if any of you have struggled with mental health it’ll speak to you differently but i loved it!!!
In Imagination Land, the cop on the right says "Forget it Jake, this is CloudTown": this is a tribute to Roman Polanski's Chinatown's (1974) last dialogue "Forget it Jake, this is Chinatown".
i wish they started using good voice actors again and not popular movie or tv actors. people getting distracted from the movie by trying to guess whose voice that is always feels annoying
A great movie to do would be Daddy's Little Girls. After all JV you're a daddy of daughters also! Trust me it's a GREAT movie idea great 👍🏾 !! PLEASE 🙏🏾
You can't be expected to be happy all the time. Its exhausting. Its ok to be sad, angry, or whatever else. Its important to tell people that they can ride out be sad or whatever else and not tell them how they should act
the emotions replicate how Riley is feeling:
Riley is sad about moving to a new home so rightfully Sadness has the most emotional power, despite what the others think. Sadness isn't doing it on purpose, it's because Riley feels that way.
I read the theory that Sadness starts causing all those changes in memories because she instinctively knows that's what Riley needs, but it's not something she consciously knows.
@@lyangray452sadness says "idk whats wrong with me" its definitely something in her " programing" as an emotion leading her to do that that she is unware of, its like she cant controll it

This was actually something that became super obvious with how Inside Out 2 ended and showed the trail that led Joy to the console and how Riley is in even more control of her emotions in Inside Out 2. Riley in general has an incredibly strong handle on her emotions which makes a lot of sense when you remember how happy her childhood was before moving away from her hometown. She never, from what we're shown, experienced a super hardlife or trauma up until she fell into a depressive episode in Inside Out 1. It makes a lot of sense for her to react this way to a super huge change though as it's always hard on kids when they experience drastic life changes. But anyway back to Sadness and how she's getting drawn to the core memories, to the console, etc; you're so absolutely correct that it's Riley calling on her every time she interferes or "does something wrong." The other emotions see it as her doing bad, but Riley is calling on her because she knows she feels incredibly sad and wants to be allowed to feel her sadness about moving away from everything she's ever known. It's so cool to think about how Riley doesn't let her emotions control her the older she gets. It's so interesting to think about the wording there too lol. She controls her emotions more and more compared to her emotions controlling her.

But obviously that's hindsight speaking. Almost no one watching it for the first time makes that connection!

Well a Lot of people are like joy they treat You like theres something wrong with You when You aren't positive about every little thing
The greatest thing Pixar have done is to teach kids that it's perfectly okay, and healthy, to feel sad sometimes
Not just kids. That’s a lesson some adults need to learn, too. That sadness isn’t always a bad thing.
This in my personal opinion experience is Pixar’s Magnum Opus and it can be used as a good tool to help in life.
And this movie gives kids a visual language to describe how they're feeling and what's going on with them.
The adults too. I'm astonished how many adults watch this movie & treat sadness like a villain
Cinema Therapy said it best, there is a type of love that is only experienced through sadness & a type of joy that is only experienced through grief. Rewatching this movie now hits different. A really close friend of mine passed 2 years ago of cancer & every happy memory I have of her is now coloured in blue but that's what makes them beautiful.
That cinema therapy was the greatest
Riley returned home BECAUSE she was sad. Part of the reason she ran away was because she could no longer pretend to be always her parents' "happy girl." And in the end, they could finally share their sadness with her, too. Sadness and Joy together created a memory that joins those two emotions and helped create a new Family Island.
They said they hate sadness but most of the time they're teary eyed and crying. It's not bad being sad. It makes you stronger and better. Every day is not always cupcakes and rainbows.
i feel like this movie is a great representation of how depression feels, its so much more than sadness, its an empty feeling that ruins everything you loved because it feels like everything is meaningless, its brutal and numb not just sad
When I get depressed, I can't conceptualize being happy. That's what makes it so scary/dangerous. Logically, I know that things will get better, but I can't FEEL like things will. It tricks the mind into thinking drastic actions are a good idea, because it feels like that's the only way to stop that emptiness.
Most people watching this always hate sadness in the beginning and cry when bing bong died or when sadness fixed everything. It was made on purpose by the creators but still. When you contain sadness, it will always manifest harder. Thank you two for making the approach true 🙏🙏🙏
This movie helped me realize and understand the term "toxic positivity"
people only hate sadness because she's being annoying...that's just childish. that's called being a hater...it's immature.
@@IDyce88 I mean, she only comes across as annoying if you take Joy's side right off the bat and ignore the fact that Joy is emotionally mistreating her.
I feel like the way they construct the memory later on, Sadness didn't even "change" the memory, she rather... "highlighted" a Sadness that was already implemented in the memory, you know, "nostalgia" for something from the past, evoluting into melancholy, a grief for a life that has radically changed. These memories are Joyful because they were Sad, and they're Sad because they were Joyful. Feeling Sadness about the past that is lost doesn't make your past hurtful or terrible, it makes it beautiful and worth having been lived and experienced. The Emotions (characters) aren't creating the emotion within Riley, they're rather expressing them, or bringing forward what's already existing within Riley.
@@IDyce88 every single one of riley's emotions are childish... they're the same age as riley- a child
I love joy as this happy emotion. But man, was she so controlling. I loved that she accepted sadness as
an actual emotion for Riley to need at the end, though.
It's especially obvious when she changed Riley's dream. Dreams are a way for us to cope with our emotions and our subconcious, Joy keeps refraining every single one of Riley's healthy ways of dealing with the trauma that has been moving to her. *Joy* is the one who creates the imbalance within Riley, not Sadness.
She represents toxic positivity
A lot of people always be hating on sadness even though it’s not her fault. The reason she keeps touching the core memories because it’s her instincts be of the situation they are in. Joy was being a little controlling when she try to make Riley and everyone else to be happy until in the end Riley need all of the emotions
that's the point; an average person is balanced in their emotions, but even from the begining we see there is WAY TOO MUCH yellow in Riley...there is an imbalance...it's all Joy.
@@IDyce88 she’s not some anomaly. The idea is that big changes in the life of a child who is growing up requires a more complex mixture of emotions than just the one at a time emotions a child initially experienced.
It's funny how Joy's controlling behavior kinda mirrors Anxiety's controlling behavior (for those who have seen the second movie)
@@MARYWTHER I have seen it and it is true. It's funny that Alegria still hasn't quite learned that she has to stop trying to control everything.
In the end, you learn something else from these movies besides the importance of managing your emotions well. You learn how bad things go when in a team, one always puts himself above the others and becomes authoritarian.
@@melindamercier6811 where did i say she was an anomaly, did i use that word? every person in the world is different. i was pointing out that an "average person" (which i say only metaphorically for the sake of this discusion) usually is more balanced in their emotions: happy, angry, sad, fearful etc. Riley however her head is filled with yellow and all the core memories are yellow and Joy is the most bossy. All this is insinuating there is an imbalance which is part of change and growing up (likely brought on by the fact she has to move house and deal with all the new difficulties). and then sadness becomes what people call "annoying" which is really just her showing Riley's depression.
Sadness doesn't just seem to control sorrow; she's also in charge of nostalgia. Riley's memories, including her core memories, are of times that can't be revisited now that Riley is older, and have people and places that Riley can't see anymore because she moved. Even if playing hockey makes her happy, and the memory of her first goal is a nice one, it still has sadness to it because she can't spend the weekends out on the lake with her parents anymore. That's why she felt the need to touch the memories. They might be happy, but they were also sad now.
Sadness isn't always just sadness. It could mean a lot more than that...maybe sentimental, reserved, introvertedness. Possibly why Sadness drives mom.
In the film, our introduction to Sadness is through (a reductivist approach to) hunger/thirst.
The theory I've seen online is that sadness in the mom has matured into empathy, and anger in the dad is now determination.
@@grimdarkmalarkey5402 Yes, empathy...I couldn't find the right word earlier. I haven't seen Inside Out 2 yet, but it seems like a mini retcon by adding new characters.
So why does anger pilot dad?
@@Misto_deVito6009 I am thinking that anger could evolve to sturdy, protective, decisive, etc...
Just to remind you guys. Sadness is not an actual sentient being that makes its own decisions. Riley was sad. Sadness did not make her that way. Riley enacted Sadness.
Makes perfect sense they wanted Riley to suppress Sadness at the beginning; recall it was also Riley's mom who tried to push her into being happy. It's a parent thing.
I would argue that mom didn’t push her to be happy; mom was appreciating that Riley wasn’t making it harder while they were dealing with messy adult stuff.
@@spazzyshortgirl23 "Your dad’s under a lot of pressure. But if you and I can keep smiling, it would be a big help. We can do that for him, right?"
To be fair, her mom said that if BOTH she AND Riley could keep smiling, that would help out Dad. She wasn't putting the whole responsibility on Riley.
Yeah, it's a harmful thing to say to your child, because it puts pressure on them. At the same time, it's not something done maliciously. The mom wasn't trying to be mean/controlling, she went into it with good intentions. Considering her and the dad's response to Riley coming back home and breaking down crying after trying to run away, the parents are doing their best to help Rilely be in a healthy mindset.
@@grimdarkmalarkey5402 I wasn't trying to say that parents force their kids to suppress their emotions out of malice, though in hindsight I can see how it might come across that way. I guess what I was trying to say was that parents instinctively want so much for their children to be happy that they can inadvertently prioritize that over what's actually better for them overall.
Joy was too controlling. She never allowed Riley to feel sad, especially when it was absolutely necessary. And I like how so many reactors like you guys are having the reactions towards Sadness that you have. I feel like the filmmakers did it on purpose, to get people to change their perspective. I do like feeling Joy, but when it suppresses other emotions, it's not healthy.
The mother may have just been expressing gratitude toward Riley for keeping a happy face during a VERY stressful time, but what she didn't realize was she put pressure on Riley to stay happy regardless of how she truly feels.
That brings up an important mental health issue called "toxic positivity". It's disingenuous. It's unhealthy. And it's unhelpful. It's much better for people to feel their feelings when the situation calls for it. And it shouldn't be supressed for others convenience.
40:41 This scene, to me, can also be a metaphor for how difficult it is to get yourself out of a pit of sadness and depression and get the happiness to rise above again. It's like every time you start to feel happy, some imaginary weight pulls you back down again and you're right where you started.
You can't just supress sadness or any other emotion that may not seem good. Its unhealthy to bottle up your emotions. You just got to let it all out
If I will let my Anger control me, many people can die, so I think I better won't 😅
Amy Poehler plays Joy.
Joy in this movie is called “Toxic Positivity”. Joy was controlling of every emotion, and wanted all happy memories during the day, but was very upset when moving, that the other emotions took over. Joy literally supresses Sadness in a tiny circle, which is the reason Riley cries at school. Joy trying to stop Sadness from putting a sad core memory in there is what shuts down the islands and causes Joy & Sadness to be sent to longterm. Joy tries to make Bing Bong laugh instead of comforting him (which is what Sadness does because she is empathetic). Joy is constantly trying to fix Sadness throughout the movie when you cannot change what the emotions are about. And Joy stops Sadness from getting in the tube to headquarters with her which took the time for them possibly going through the tub away & forcing Joy to almost be forgotten to figure out how important it is for Riley to feel the other emotions.
Great reaction! I think the reason the other emotions were able to touch the memories without changing them is because Joy "allowed " them to do their jobs. But she always tried to block out Sadness. There's an expression that says what we resist persists. The more Joy tried to contain Sadness, the stronger her effect was because she wasn't being allowed to do her job.
This is the epitome of ‘toxic positivity’ and what happens when you don’t deal with your emotions all of them in a healthy way. You become numb detached and feel nothing. That’s why sadness is vital as a wise sentient robot once said ‘In the darkest hour there will be a light.’
Sadness is actually doing what she is supposed to do. We need to feel sadness when we leave the familiar. It’s just part of life.
"is she gonna get impaled?"
Jane was irreversibly changed after Final Destination movies
i love the way he says hes seen the movie before and then watches like its his first time lol
I guess he forgot many things?
To be fair, he watches multiple shows and movies a day, so multiply that by 2 years and you get A LOT of content swept into and out of your head.
Sadness is important everyone
15:14 no sadness is fine? 😢imagine you’re at a funeral of someone you loved very very much (sorry for giving you that image) and you don’t feel any sadness at all…. Also I saw you cry in many many movies so your sadness is important. 😂😂😂 nice reaction
I remember there was a series about an anger management therapy group. Most of the patients had trouble controlling their anger, but there was one who stood out because the opposite was true: he was unable to express anger under any circumstances.
It’s interesting that you noticed that the mom’s lead emotion is sadness, because it can be interpreted as sadness turning into empathy & compassion as we get older and mentally mature.
JV and Jane, I was looking forward to your reactions to this. I do think the movie is doing something really cool here, by daring to show that Joy's insistence on "100% JOY ALL THE TIME!" is incredibly toxic. Riley has reasons to feel sad, and it's healthy for her to be able to express that. But between her mother's pressure to stay "their happy girl" and Joy's insistence that Riley is not allowed to feel sad, Riley becomes depressed (and numb, which is so realistic to depression). For me, this movie does a great job of showing Sadness's importance as a balanced part of our feelings. Sometimes we just need to let ourselves feel how we feel (and it was so touching to see you both get caught up in the tears here). Jane, hope your week got better!
3:37 It's recently hit me really hard that my kids have gotten so big, and that there's no going back. I totally get it. 🥺❤️
when i hear and seen her eyes i hit me immediately, I'm not a father but a uncle to two beautiful boys and i miss them when they were small
This one definitely hit hard for me. The inner struggle of you always trying to force a happy face when you know you just
.....cant... they played this out perfectly 👌
It was so wonderful
I don’t care how many times I watch this, I always cry for Bing Bong
I loved that you reacted to all the little glimpses into the minds of people and animals during the credits. Most reactors leave that out. I find the cat's mind especially hilarious!😹😹
20:00 "kick her." lmfaoooooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
42:57 They were making a reference to the movie Chinatown with Jack Nicholson. "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."
It is so funny they are yelling at sadness but from a clinical perspective sadness is actually correct in most of what she is doing.
This movie is good at allowing people to recognize that sadness is as important to a person's life as joy and other emotions.
I’m glad you guys got why she had to feel sad in the end. A lot of people are mad at sadness in the beginning (because the movie sets it up like you should be), but she is just instinctively trying to do her job to help Riley. The problem was never Sadness it was the other emotions preventing her from helping Riley grieve.
You also recognised the pressure her mum accidentally put on her to repress her sadness when she was thanking her for “staying our happy girl.” Instead of grieving that night, Sadness was pushed aside to keep her parents happy. This meant she was unexpectedly confronted with this unprocessed grief in the middle of class the next day. Sadness couldn’t stop or understand what she was doing because grief is an uncontrollable feeling, that can be confusing if you aren’t consciously aware of why you are grieving.
All round great reaction to a great movie 😊
The best movie about it being okay to be sad
th-cam.com/video/DqtN_yFp4Vk/w-d-xo.html
actually it's about autism...the main character, Riley, is autistic. yes it has the emotions and humour and everything as well...but the underlying important part of this was the fact hat Riley is emotionally everywhere because of autism...but around 70% of viewers missed this because they so ignorant.
@@IDyce88where did you get that from? While a lot of doctors and or mental health professionals have stated the movie help understand someone on the spectrum. A great learning tool. The co-writer stated they wrote the script after seeing the different emotions their child went through as they were growing up, however, didn't mention anything on autism. Regardless, it's a very good movie and a great teaching tool. If I'm incorrect and have missed an article or interview mentioning it was focused on autism then I apologize. That being said, there is no need to call people ignorant. It is ok to correct but don't be rude about it. ❤❤❤
@@Ming3484 even if Riley doesn't have autism she most definitley has depression, that was confirmed. The thing is many psychological issues can be interconnected; depression, panic attacks, anxiety, ADD, ADHD...a lot of people have a combination and whoever made Inside Out if they didn;t give Riley autism they missed an opportunity IMO. i'm calling people ignorant merely because important issues liek mental disorders/ disabilites goes over so many peoples head...they are too busy focusing on the mundane sides of a film like the childish humour. They don't lok at the deep and sophisticated sides of the film. look don;t get me wrong Inside Out is a brilliant film i loved it and i for one felt they should have made a sequel to it LONG before now. It shouldn't have taken them years to do a sequel...if anything this proves part of my point...a film about "emotions" clearly wasn't considered important enough. Instead they were making pointless sequels to things like Toy Story or Frozen or Shrek...and those have already had their time in the spotlight. I have autism myself and i represent an autism group...i lead an autism group...it's my responsibility to ensure anything to do with it gets heard. like i said Inside Out is about emotions AND autism.
@@IDyce88 believe me, I understand where you are coming from. I myself have been dealing with depression, and anxiety/panic attacks since I was around 15, that's 25 years. Yes, it would be great if more films on mental health were out. Sad thing is, people don't really like watching those types of films. The majority of the time movies are a way for people to just forget all the stress of daily life and just lose themselves in a land of make believe. I think that's one of the reasons I love Inside Out. Yes, some will miss the point, however, there have been many others that, by the end of the movie, they saw the deeper meaning of the movie and this opened a way to conversations. The movie was made in a way that people were laughing and crying and enjoying the movie and without even knowing they were learning. I think I am repeating myself so I'll end it here. Though I'll say this first, I think it's great that you actively partake in the education and spread awareness on Autism and wish you well.
It's so interesting to see how in the first half of the movie even you as adults have the impulse to lock sadness away. This movie is a masterpiece.
If you reject sadness and contain it in one place it will be a disaster 😂😂😂
the triple dent gum advert was literally the best part of the film
The single shot at 47:24 is so beautiful and it encapsulates the entire idea of the movie into a couple seconds. I have always had the teeth falling out dream growing up. It has something to do with you worrying about your appearance. Makes sense for me since I had speech therapy, a turn-key retainer and braces twice. I am very self-conscious about my smile.
“For Rileyyyyyyyyy!” 🤣🤣
Something that I've only realized within the last month, despite seeing this when it came out in 2015, and watching it many, many times since then: When the console goes dark, the darkness originates at the idea bulb, and spreads like a rash........aka, a "rash idea".
Every time I see a reaction of this movie, I realise how incredible they make us to think that Sadness is a bad thing for a long time in the movie.
My son was 10- when this came out. Perfect age to really latch onto it.
There is sadness attached to the memories because that time is over. Joy is toxic.
Or she’s just trying to hold it together. They become happy-sad.
It’s always like he’s watching it for the first time😂😂😂
Also I love how it also could be teaching in order to be happy and not depressed u have to be sad to get out of depression to then get to a happy stage hopefully
Exactly
Fun fact! To make the movie more relatable to audiences in Japan, the vegetable that Rilely hates was changed from broccoli to bell peppers! That's the stereotypical food for kids to hate.
All the problems in the film are caused by Joy trying to suppress sadness. Riley was upset about moving and coming to terms with a stage of her life being over. Joy tries to put this fake gloss over everything, Riley doesn't need to be happy all the time, that's a psycho.
40:55 This scene with Bing Bong brought back memories of the Jennifer Walters' scene in 'She Hulk', when Bruce is trying to figure out her threshold for stress, Jen mentions Bing Bong... "Oh put on a Pixar movie"... "When Bing Bong jumps out of the wagon in Inside Out..."
I watched this today and it healed a bit of the little girl inside ❤Saddness is my favorite she’s so sweet and adorable 💙all of them are cool especially in everyone that was a nice touch ✨✨✨
I was in my mid 40s when i saw this. Im normally pretty reserved, but Jesus Christ this was so well done. I was in pieces. Especially after Bing Bong just jumped out of the wagon.
JV Why were you so angry with Sadness? You've seen this before and know her importance or were you just baiting Jane?
mb the latter
lol it’s not intentional, he forgets everything😂😂. He did the same thing with the ratatouille reaction
tbh I forget movies after I watch them so it could’ve been either way 😂
This is exactly why I love this movie in the beginning we didn’t really like sadness and wanted her to go away but in the end she still pops up like real life we try so hard to suppress sadness when we actually do need a good cry every now and then
@cometboifever2294 i never disliked sadness in this movie. i was annoyed at joy not letting sadness do the job. Let the poor girl cry, she just lost her first home. she has the right to feel sad.
Jane crying after like 5 minutes of movie.
Ooooooh, she's here for a world of... emotions.
As for Sadness, I spoke about it on another video reacting to Inside Out, but I lived completely the opposite when I watched Inside Out. Idk if other people did too, like, if anyone wants to talk about this! But to me, it was Joy that was unbearable at the beginning of the movie. She was overbaring and loud and controlling, I hated her. Even when someone else is sad like Bing Bong, she's so hyper-focused on herself and feeling Joy that she can't event extend empathy towards Bing Bong. That's probably because I grew up surrounded by people that made me feel like... they didn't have "time" for me to express my emotions, or they had better things to do than to listen to me when I was voicing my emotions, especially my sadness, you know? Like I was an inconvenience when I was sad. Joy made me feel like these people used to make me feel. You know, the usual "get over it, it'll get better". Then during the scene with Bing Bong in the forgotten memories, I got her, I understood her and I accepted her purpose and why she was doing what she was doing. Maybe to some extent, it helped me understand also why some people cling to Joy or don't express their own sadness and don't accept when others do.
Inside out is super smart. The reason sadness was acting out and causing all this trouble to begin with.... joy was stifling her. She was taught to be happy so she pushed sadness down until ti burst out and almost ruined her life causing the other emotions to make a cascade of bad decisions leading to pure depression. Moral of the story: don't push sadness away. It will come out, you choose to let it out in safety or it'll come out when it's least convenient

pretty mean of you, grown ups, telling an 11 year old girl that she has no right to feel sad.
I cried. I have been feeling some emotions with my real life and I always bury them. Sometimes it takes someone saying it's okay to cry to make it happen instead of being stoic
Always so funny to see how people react to sadness. For people that think of themself as nice people, some say the meanest things. "Throw her out..chain her up..handcuff her!" ... Why not add "torture her to be good" while at it? Thats the mentality of a prescription drug.

"SEL"?
@@johnpooky84 social emotional learning

@johnpooky84 it's something every teacher provides. Depending on the grade level it can be daily (k-5 typically) or weekly (6-8) for about 10 minutes. I. K-5 it is sometimes longer.
I use Inside Out to talk about how all emotions are important and you can't understand joy without sadness. If you are sad it is important to acknowledge that and allow yourself to feel that.
I also do activities like social interactions BINGO, meditate and share, pedal/stem/thorn, and more.
@@jasonchambers1679 Ah, ok. Cool.
Also, I understand all of those activities (Bingo is obvious, and meditate and share sounds like a variation of show-and-tell, except with feelings), except for "Pedal/stem/thorn". Never heard of that one.
I never understand how no one seems to have empathy for sadness, or even at least the understanding that her job is to be sad
It's OK to be sad
20:52 the memories only change when sadness touches them, because riley wants to feel sad about the past
if reactors care sooo much about which actor's voice it is, even more than 10 mins into the movie, why don't they just pause the movie and look it up?
Tbh this reaction annoyed me so much I almost turned it off. Grown adults, parents no less, refusing to understand how important sadness it, telling sadness to go away while simultaneously getting emotional during scenes - I mean the jokes write themselves sometimes.
Maybe you should’ve turned it off then, any normal person would get annoyed with sadness at first, until the movie explains her importance, that’s what the movie expects you to do, Stop hating
15:55 - 15:57 I don't know if the creators notice this but they cast The Joy (Lori Alan) to play Mother's Sadness. A pity that they didn't cast David Thomas (The Sorrow) to play the father's joy.
NO ONE understands sadness until later on in the film but i always understood and resonated with her because for majority of my life that i can remember anyway sadness would pilot my emotions and u need to feel it and understand it not lock it away
Everybody yells at sadness when you need sadness to be able to be happy
I've had teeth falling out dreams. It's horrible. It's like endless teeth all falling out and I keep having to spit them all out and then there's more. It's grim. That along with "i need to get home but i don't know the way and haven't packed a mountain of stuff i have with me including my cat who is now 5 cats for some reason" "I'm at school without the homework/work/revision i need for the class i also can't find in the building despite being in my 30s" and "i really need to pee but every toilet i find is either broken or fully out in the open surrounded by people"........yes i have anxiety issues why do you ask 😂
I’ve had so many teeth falling out dreams where they literally come off in like a string 😢😅
Pixar films have a pattern. What if Bugs had emotions? What if Toys had emotions? What if Cars had emotions? And now, what if Emotions had emotions?
It would be crazy if Inside out was about the emotion's emotions haha. We actually had a bit of it in inside out two in the moment Joy gets angry. And about the bugs, toys, etc, in the end of the first movie we saw the dog emotions, so i think every alive thing has emotions. ( sorry for my bad english )
This just proves that these movies aren't just for kids. It's scary how many adults dont have emotional maturity
This movie is one of the best Pixar has ever made for the following reasons
TRIPLE DENT GUM WILL MAKE YOU SMILE
Did I ask for the gum commercial
I seriously get pissed off when reactors immediately hate Sadness, like if you had any empathy or understanding of human nature at all you’d know how essential sadness and all the emotions are. When I watched this for the first time I immediately liked Sadness because I knew she had a huge role to play. Joy is supposed to represent Toxic Positivity.
GIRL, its not that serious, ease up
I think some people who get mad at sadness also get mad at their own feelings of sadness. It's a projection in a way. At least that's how it was when I first watched it. I had to go through that understanding myself and remember that it's necessary and not a problem. But for those of us who were raised that sadness is a problem, this is a beautiful reminder that sadness and all our other emotions give better perspective on the others.
Because they've been sleeping for so long. These sleepers are crazy!
This movie was so important to teaching my daughter to identify emotions and that sometimes emotions “mix” and that emotions don’t necessarily equate to logic. It’s ok to feel what you feel (even when it may not be logical); sometimes we feel multiple emotions at one time, You don’t have to rationalize. Really important in “puberty”. 😉 I ❤️ this movie.
Notice how Joy has blue hair and blue eyes, like Sadness. Whereas all the other emotions are a single color.
I never noticed that! Great callout
@@tionakthe creators already said they only made it blue to prevent similarities with Tinker bell. the creators also said that they had to create some intentional plot holes in the movie for marketing purposes, like how Riley's emotions are different genders compared to how other people have same gendered emotions
lol the fact that adults watchin this film demand for the sadness of a child to literally get locked up...well thats quiet fucked up
I love you both as a couple and as reactors 🩵🩵 keep up the reactions!!! They always make my day!!!
Its so funny how people dont realize that sadness was making things blue because riley was sad, like she needed to Express her sadness and feelings. But joy wont let her until the end.
I promise you the second movie will make you cry even harder lol the second one made me cry like 3-4 times...the first movie only made me cry once and less too
argh, you guys talked over the bears in San Francisco joke!
Your emotions don’t know you’re dreaming, unless it’s a lucid dream
And the moral of the story is, we need all of the emotions, even sadness. I mean, not even Joy is happy all the time. Something just hit me... they are showing us that it's ok for girls to like hockey, which I love, I am all for breaking gender roles, noone can tell us what we should and shouldn't be interested in, just based on our gender. Still, what is the first thing we see, when we enter the "control centre" of the dad, who is a man? All male emotions, watching hockey, which feels kinda stereotypical, and odd. First they tell us that girls can like hockey, then they seem to think that it's a male thing. Oh well, maybe I'm reading too much into it, either way, it's a good movie.
Yes! Agreed! All emotions are valid
Watching you guys reminded me of this “I’m not crying you’re crying”
10:21, I stopped the video to come to comment. Such a mother instinct in catching that situation. Cgz
Joy is like symbol of 'toxic positivity disorder' although she is JOY so it makes sense.

A great movie to do would be Daddy's Little Girls. After all JV you're a daddy of daughters also! Trust me it's a GREAT movie idea great 👍🏾 !! PLEASE 🙏🏾
Team sadness is miss understood
A movie that has emotion would be The Notebook❗️ You would LOVE this movie ‼️😊
When this movie release Im so in love with this movie and this will be my top movie, and I'm so happy that they release part two
You can't be expected to be happy all the time. Its exhausting. Its ok to be sad, angry, or whatever else. Its important to tell people that they can ride out be sad or whatever else and not tell them how they should act
the movie "Armageddon" is great , you will laugh cry and a lot of high intense action
