You asked why mom’s headquarters was run by Sadness rather than Joy. Same thing with dad’s being run by anger. As we get older, our emotions become more complex and mature, evolving into something beyond the base emotion. Sadness, for example, can manifest as empathy and care for others. I think in mom’s care, it shows that she’s empathetic and cares a lot about the feelings of others. As for anger, properly directed anger can be described as drive and passion, making one successful and ambitious. Dad is a driven person, seeking out new opportunities in a new city to improve his families life. He obviously has passion for his family and for everything he does. The more you look into the emotions as presented in this film, the more you realize how accurate and complex it really is.
Indeed. The fact that the idea of the entire movie was produced and was consulted by real PhD majors in Psychoanalysis, Psychologist, and Social studies makes this create a further view of how the mind behaviors and emotions work. It's also interesting because this is how they interpret these for kids.
Probably unrelated but I remembered one line from a character in One Piece, Dr. Hiruluk: "A person dies when they are forgotten." Probably unrelated because he was talking about leaving a legacy but it kinda is true. Bing Bong "died" in a sense.
@@pliith I edited the comment now. That scene tho Man, FK I love one piece and all its wisdom. So, we can say that Bing Bong literally died in the truest sense. Hope joy and sadness remember him 😂 😭
I had a bing bong, But he started riding too much in my train of thought and took most of the place. He got out of the imagination island and spread all over. He's long gone now. I don't know if it is a good thing or bad thing, Joy says it's a good thing , Joy say's he could have taken over to headquarter' s controls and introduce a difference personality disorder island that we can't handle😂
I once again have in my possession both a stuffed dog and a stuffed rabbit that I was absolutely attached to as a 4-year-old. And I can't remember what either of their names used to be (neither can my parents), and that devastates me a little bit. I'm all about putting childish things behind, but we should remember the childish joy and wonder and imagination!
It's honestly really scary. I mean, there are so many dark memories that could be lurking in the back of our minds, and we just don't remember. Maybe the forgetting can be seen as a protection system of some sorts. Instead of trying to take things away, it doesn't want to keep reminding us of trauma.
The reason Sadness felt the urge to touch the memories is because her instincts knew that was what Riley needed, Joy being a control freak and keeping Sadness from doing her job is basically Riley suppressing her sadness trying to keep up the happy facade. Sadness is never the problem in this movie, Joy however is a big problem with her thinking until she realizes down in the pit that they need to work together.
Coercing anything for the sake of appearances is toxic and eventually can do more harm than good. The fact that sadness is seen as a bad thing is culturally ingrained into most of us because being sad is equated with being weak, passive, and negative. The truth is that sadness informs nostalgia and is arguably one of the more magnetic emotions when it comes to people we love. Nobody who claims to care about someone will stand by impassively when a loved one is going through hell. Being weak and asking for help is not a bad thing.
The single shot of Riley hugging her parents while sad and that tiny smile comes through encapsulates the entire point of movie and it's such a beautiful shot.
It shows they need her sadness at the end 😔 😔😔 and I'm glad she came to realize that Joy at the end 🔚🔚 regardless of her behavior I'm still not fond of it despite everything
This is the best illustration of depression I've ever seen. First her happy memories become sad, then she loses connection with everything she loves. After that happiness is lost but she's told not to feel sad, so that's gone too. And lastly the expansive numbness as everything just shuts down. It's achingly accurate.
Yeah the portrayal is VERY appreciative. Despite depression being more of 'accepted' conditions, it's still so misinterpreted and often treated as a choice, not a condition that forces you into passiveness.
it's why people need to stop telling depressed people to "just stop being so sad"- at a certain point, the depression just numbs you to everything around you. it's not as easy as smiling the pain away, and experiencing something happy doesn't magically erase the depression.
Poor Jaby, he kept trying to pull away from the movie the whole time and seemed more afraid than any horror movie he’s seen, glad you guys still enjoyed it
I ALWAYS cry at the moment where Riley cries with her parents and Riley, Joy, and the audience realizes that those happy memories are now melancholy, because they're gone forever. This is such a clever, well-written movie. I dearly hope Inside Out 2 lives up to this very high standard.
Bing Bong has never made me cry as the obvious and annoying "this is where you cry" scene. The simple scene of Riley breaking down and her parents being there to hug her and pick her back up is enough.
I just now noticed that all the memory shelves crash down too. When your nervous system is overwhelmed by emotions, it gets harder and harder to remember, because parts of your brain shut down to survive.
This movie is one of the best depictions of depression I’ve seen; not feeling happiness of sadness, losing your train of thought, the eventual numbness. I heard psychologists show this to children to help them understand their own emotions, it’s really beautifully done.
The deep levels of meaning behind so many of the scenes continues to amaze me. Especially Bing Bong's final scene. The whole purpose of an imaginary friend is to have someone who reflects your ideas and interests, and is, always, on your side. Bing Bong realized, in the memory dump, that he was literally, and figuratively, holding Riley back by trying to stay real to her. So he sacrificed himself to allow her to grow. Personally, I don't think that he was completely forgotten, as there would still be memories of him, but after that moment, he would no longer feel real to her. When Joy and Sadness splatted against the window of the tower, I think that Disgust was representing Riley's disgust over her useless anger. It wasn't productive, it just raged. But then she used that anger to create a, literal, breakthrough that allowed her to feel joy and sadness again. It was so well thought out and I keep seeing new analogies every time I watch it.
@@vegtaprinceThey literally did research... They brought in psychologists and neuroscientists make sure everything represented was factually accurate interpretations
@@IDiggPattyMayonnaisefor the new movie they actually did that but with teenagers! every 3 weeks or something, they had female teenagers and give their feedback on it
@@samuelvincent557 bro those deep meaning ( even if those particular moments didnt had these meanings ) are every deep and somewhat emotional but as another way true
I love how people are like “ stop doing this sadness” not realizing that thinking about Minnesota would indeed make Riley sad because she’s not there anymore. And everything that’s happening is Riley’s actual feelings and not sadness being annoying or whatever.
Exactly. Joy always questioned what Sadness’s purpose was for Riley. In the end, she found out what her purpose is: to bring out the empathy of others. Without Sadness, Riley will never feel happiness in the end.
I think that as the console turns gray and they say that they can't make Riley feel anything anymore, is one of the best descriptions of depression. Depression is not being sad etc. it's more of the void of any feeling what so ever.
The first time I watched this, I ugly cried. The second time I watched this, I ugly cried. This third time, with you two, I ugly cried a lot more, and admittedly, a lot worse too.
Ive got a little fun fact about Bing Bong for Achara (i'm assuming that Jaby might know this one.) When it came time for Richard Kind (the voice of Bing Bong) to do the scene where he jumps off the rocket so Joy can get to safety he had a little moment. Richard Kind burst into tears shortly after recording the now famous line "Take her to the moon for me Joy." It just moved him that much.
I love to watch reactors get so mad at Sadness and then have that turn around moment, even before Joy gets it, about why she matters. Nobody listened when Sadness said she didn't know why she was doing this, she just felt COMPELLED to. She hasn't been out of control at any OTHER time, she hasn't been making memories sad just because. It isn't until this point in her life when Sadness starts feeling compelled to change the memories. Riley NEEDED to grieve, and she didn't get that opportunity...even when she was alone by the railing. Once Joy FINALLY gets it through her head that she cannot have complete control over all of Riley's memories -- no one emotion can, or should -- is when Riley has the chance to experience the emotions she's feeling so deeply. I can't wait to see Inside Out 2.
I think this movie also teaches a lesson to parents that are always telling their kids to just be happy and smile all the time. At the end Riley says "You NEED me to be happy...", and that line has so much power. As a parent of course you don't want your kid to be sad and cry, but you have to acknowledge their feelings and listen so they can understand what they are feeling, too. Sadness is so important in our lives, as someone said here in the comments: empathy and caring derives from sadness, not joy. Telling you kid that is okay to just be sad and cry is a thing that must be normalized. Good thing that nowadays it is more and more common parents being aware of their kids feelings, and listening to them. Awesome reaction! Cheers from Brasil~
the part where BingBong was erased from existence still makes my heart shatter to pieces to this very.... 🥺 very..... 🥺😢😭 I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!! 😭😭😭😭😭
@@rickymoranjr9609 Yeah but that's a good thing at the same time. Since it's all about emotions so if it does it's job it'll be as good as the first one. It would really have to hit everything in order to be better than the original one
After I heard the psychologist said about Bingbong, I'm not sad anymore for the scene. Bingbong have to be erased. Because If not, Riley's mind has so much trouble.
i’d just like to point out that joy is characterized as joy for a reason and not happiness; happiness is much more temporary in comparison. also, note joy’s blue hair, very similar to sadness’s. they’re intertwined. sometimes, true joy only really comes after deep sadness. ❤️
Yes. Of the emotions, only Joy is a combination of more than one different colour. I wondered why that was, but we saw why in thar memory that saw sadness transform organically and beautifully into joy.
Personally I feel the most important message of the movie, is about not suppressing emotions. All the breakdown of the islands and the control console is only partly caused by what they make her do.. but I'm sure it's mostly because Sadness isn't allowed to do her job. If you've suffered from depression before, you probably know exactly what I'm talking about. The part that gets me the hardest in this movie isn't the sacrifice of Bing Bong.. it's toward the end when Riley finally breaks down and lets her emotions flow.
this movie is so genius. like you have to be so big brained to create a movie as perfect as this. i remember watching for the first time and every few minutes saying “this is so smart” in my head.
Jaby looked so scared to revisit the trauma from his first time watching lol. Glad you guys had tissues lol. Great movie, I love the animation so much and can't wait to see the next one!
26:54 Achara: "Why are they playing sad music?" Everyone who has seen the movie, including Jaby: ".........Goodbye, old friend." Edit: Jesus!!.....Never got so many likes in one comment. Edit 2: 201 LIKES? Damn.

As someone who lives with depression, this movie hits too hard. How it can deconstruct your personality, how it can twist your thoughts into sad memories, how we blame it on "normal" sadness but it's different. Sure the basic story is more about growing up and accepting more complex emotions but tobm me it's also one of the best depiction of how it feels to be depressed too.
I've never seen Jaby look so defensive of a movie before. So many moments he was turned away as if it was going to legit attack him. Also gotta say, I agree that this movie gets me in tears more than any other Pixar movie. Riley going through grief and depression and it being depicted not just as sadness, but as being devoid of joy AND sadness (and eventually locked out of all emotions) is so powerful.
Watching Jaby relive the trauma the closer and closer it got to BingBong's sacrifice was almost as painful as watching it again, SUCH a good film but a gutting moment - great job guys!
Riley isn't being an angsty teen.... she's not a teenager yet. She's undergoing a LOT of stress having to keep this happy facade up. As someone who moved to different states 7 times as a kid i related a LOT to Riley. Unfortunately i didn't have the supportive parents Riley did. Forced happiness was all i knew until i moved out. This whole movie shows that children have more complex emotions and parents need to stop ignoring that and expecting kids to be happy 24/7
I think this film is incredibly important for parents too. To appreciate that your children aren't these happy go lucky little beings and to really pay attention to their moods and behaviour because there is always a reason. Also to not put pressure on your kids to provide you with happiness, it's not their job
Without sadness, there's no joy. Each emotion is somewhat connected to each other. Notice how Sadness is blue, Joy has blue hair. Disgust has a purple scarf. Fear has a red-ish bow tie.
That one scene, you can tell he was trying to prep for it, but you just can't. No matter how many times I watch it, still water works. I think the day the water works don't run, I need to seek professional help. As heartbreaking as that scene is, to me, it still shows me that I am human and I have a heart. Respect to the Imaginary Friend, and the to the Imaginary Friend we all may have had growing up.
This is definitely a top tier Pixar movie. I really like how this movie is about emotions, and it looks pretty accurate to how our emotions look like. It’s honestly a great time.
InsideOut perfectly shows here that you can't really control sadness, anytime it can happen. Trying to stop it from happening is much more destructive than you might think.
As someone who studied and has immense love for Psychology, this movie is top-tier! I love how this movie relays the importance of feeling all of your emotions while also teaching young children and adults how our brain works and the different stages of memory processing. I can say that when I first watch this, I was a sobbing mess! I cannot wait for Inside Out 2!
Look at the colour of Joy's hair and eyes. It's BLUE, indicating sadness, implying even the essence of joy encompasses saddness, and that both are intertwined and inseparable.
One of the things to remember about this movie is when it came out. 2015? So Reilly would be 11 meaning her parents were more than likely late boomer early Gen X. They aren't the best at dealing with their emotions. So the fact that Anger runs dad and Sadness runs mom? tells a story of its own. They both grew up in a very ridged belief that you needed to be a certain way in how you reacted to things and couldn't accept other emotions. This movie will EVERY time make me cry. Its an unbelievable look into the truth of emotions and how each one makes us truly understand life and the things around us. We cant honestly understand life without each and every emotion, no matter how uncomfortable they may make us.
They depicted the complexity of emotions and the need for a variety of emotions to function properly, whilst simultaneously showcasing the effects of depression and how it erodes away at your mental state so beautifully. So excited for inside out two.
I lost my home to Hurricane Katrina & so did my son. It was hard & i was in my mid 20s. My home had been taken away & i felt for that girl but as an adult, as a mom, it was very hard. My dad just passed away & my mom is still alive, imvery very grateful of them. Especially for my son & his dad. Sadness & Joy are the perfect balance to keep going. Im still here.
This is what happens when you try to suppress your emotions. None of this movie would've had to happen if joy and the other emotions hadn't been trying to stifle sadness and keep her from doing her job.
It’s funny how different our experiences can be. You mentioned how difficult being the new kid can be. I’m sure there were times when I felt that, but for me the biggest move was the Summer between 7th and 8th grade. 7th was the worst year of my life, because some of the kids I knew in elementary school started bullying me and there were new bullies as well. I overreacted to teasing, which made the ridicule worse. But when we moved to a new neighborhood, I had a fresh start and 8th grade was wonderful. It helped that the school had uniforms, curbing egos a bit. That year I met my two best friends as well, Jacob and Alex.
That ONE SCENE we all know. Doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen it. I will cry. I cried watching it in this video. It is so so so well done. I love this movie
This a favorite among psychologists and counselors. My mom often uses this movie with clients that are suppressing their emotions or having difficulty in not seeing that emotions are neither good nor bad, they just are and need to be acknowledged.
I follow your channel religiously and seeing Jaby cry today made me tear up. I've never seen such a pure reaction out you guys. I love your work! I wish we could ever collab or have a conversation!
When I watch this film, I was amazed because Pixar is never stop for making everyone cry and I realized every Emotion have important thing for everyone: - Joy seeks happiness and optimistic vision - Sadness seeks empathy and compassion - Anger seeks strong desire for justice - Fear seeks safety and survival instincts - Disgust seeks comfort and rational, sometimes cyanical thinking
I truly think this movie should be shown in schools to children. It’s such a wonderful representation of how our emotions work & it’s ok to feel them all. The bing bong scene destroys me every time. ❤
This was so very well done. The reason this impacted me so much, is because Riley was masking her sadness with fake joy. But once she opened up and was honest about her true feelings with her parents; she learned that they missed home too. We all can feel so bad inside because none of us, are ever, honest with ourselves, or with one another person, about how we truly feel. If her parents had exposed their own sadness of moving rather than that fake it-to-you-make-it attitude, Riley would not have felt so alone. She hid her feelings because she thought that everyone else in her family had moved on. It makes you feel broken when you can't get over things as quickly as other people around you purport themselves as doing.
8:21 There is a theory saying that what sadness is trying to do is to make Riley release her suppression. Because sadness thinks she needs to cry at the moment. If Riley keeps suppressing her sadness and refusing to cry, she will have some sort of dysfunction.
Oh man, I can only imagine how emotional Kristen Stephensonpino would've gotten watching this lol. Please make her watch it if she hasn't seen it yet lol. I get it, though. This movie hits me in the feels too.
even watching this segmented reaction video made me cry. i was 53 when I first saw it in the theater with my 20 yo daughter and we were both our eyes out.
Joy was suppressing sadness In the beginning and sadness did say "I don't know what's wrong with me I'm having a break down" and I think that's great representation of what happens when you do suppress your emotions. Inside out 2 is out!!!
I truly believe Pixar outdid themselves with this. They’ve messed with our emotions before but wow they broke the fourth wall. Inside Out is a masterpiece ❤ this is their greatest achievement. My absolute favourite Pixar film. Wonderful seeing you guys emotionally connect with it.
I recommend you watch Cinema Therapy's videos about this movie (one of them featuring some of the people who made the movie), they are really interesting and informative!
I understand that you guys find sadness irritating but for me it is just right to feel sadness. For me sadness is one of the most important emotions, it can help us accept and adapt. Without sadness, happiness or joy has no meaning.
This movie wrecks me every time. It's my favorite Pixar film, which was hard to do. It's such a beautiful and expressive story. It's great for helping kids understand and process emotions, but even adults benefit from a refresher.
39:45 it's not just animation, live action is a lot more intense feelings than real life! Mufasas death is heartbreaking, but deaths of certain characters in *LOST* or *The Walking Dead* hit me harder than real life deaths. Movies can take out conflicting feelings and memories and just give you the pure CONCENTRATED stuff that they know will have a much stronger effect. (and it doesnt allow you to use the walls and protection we use in real life)
You asked why mom’s headquarters was run by Sadness rather than Joy. Same thing with dad’s being run by anger.

I can't wait to see Inside Out 2.
I can usually keep the tears back for most of the movie, but when Riley breaks down after returning home from the bus, tears do flow.
The death of Bing Bong goes up there with Uncle Iroh singing leaves from the vine for sadness
I think this movie also teaches a lesson to parents that are always telling their kids to just be happy and smile all the time. At the end Riley says "You NEED me to be happy...", and that line has so much power. As a parent of course you don't want your kid to be sad and cry, but you have to acknowledge their feelings and listen so they can understand what they are feeling, too. Sadness is so important in our lives, as someone said here in the comments: empathy and caring derives from sadness, not joy. Telling you kid that is okay to just be sad and cry is a thing that must be normalized. Good thing that nowadays it is more and more common parents being aware of their kids feelings, and listening to them.
Awesome reaction! Cheers from Brasil~
the part where BingBong was erased from existence still makes my heart shatter to pieces to this very.... 🥺 very..... 🥺😢😭 I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!! 😭😭😭😭😭
Yeah that was a rough one. Even after all this time it still break's me. If the sequel is any way like it's counter part we're in for a emotional ride
@@Corey313 yep, that's what I'm afraid of
@@rickymoranjr9609 Yeah but that's a good thing at the same time. Since it's all about emotions so if it does it's job it'll be as good as the first one. It would really have to hit everything in order to be better than the original one
@@Corey313 true but that's what scares me about sequels. why do you think movies always stop after the sequels?
After I heard the psychologist said about Bingbong, I'm not sad anymore for the scene. Bingbong have to be erased. Because If not, Riley's mind has so much trouble.
i’d just like to point out that joy is characterized as joy for a reason and not happiness; happiness is much more temporary in comparison. also, note joy’s blue hair, very similar to sadness’s. they’re intertwined. sometimes, true joy only really comes after deep sadness. ❤️
Isn't joy ecstacy and energy that doesn't really seem long term
I like to think of Joy and Sadness as fraternal twins of sorts.
Yes. Of the emotions, only Joy is a combination of more than one different colour. I wondered why that was, but we saw why in thar memory that saw sadness transform organically and beautifully into joy.
Joy and Sadness will always be related to each other. They are polar opposites, yet they help define one another.
Personally I feel the most important message of the movie, is about not suppressing emotions. All the breakdown of the islands and the control console is only partly caused by what they make her do.. but I'm sure it's mostly because Sadness isn't allowed to do her job. If you've suffered from depression before, you probably know exactly what I'm talking about. The part that gets me the hardest in this movie isn't the sacrifice of Bing Bong.. it's toward the end when Riley finally breaks down and lets her emotions flow.
this movie is so genius. like you have to be so big brained to create a movie as perfect as this. i remember watching for the first time and every few minutes saying “this is so smart” in my head.
Jaby looked so scared to revisit the trauma from his first time watching lol. Glad you guys had tissues lol. Great movie, I love the animation so much and can't wait to see the next one!
Maybe *HE* should have worn the purple shirt instead of the blue! 😅
26:54 Achara: "Why are they playing sad music?"
Everyone who has seen the movie, including Jaby: ".........Goodbye, old friend."
Edit: Jesus!!.....Never got so many likes in one comment.
Edit 2: 201 LIKES? Damn.
you're crying because you want your innocence back...
it's funny how you relate more to a purple elephant(?) then some of the characters they are writing this days.
Purple elephant/cat/dolphin/cotton candy creature.
translation: "I'm a child whose life revolves around hollywood and dumb actors" I feel sad for you, you lieve in a bubble
@@larrote6467 wow, that's a lot of presumtions... most people want their innocence back because they have to live in the real world and you beeing so judgemental means you are living in a bubble - get off your high horse...
@@larrote6467 translation: "I'm a condescending little child who thinks they know everything because i haven't experienced the real world" I feel sad for you, you lieve in a bubble
also yes, this comment does make me a hypocrite, but it's for a good cause... i guess... so yeh
Awww Jaby you are being so sweet to watch this with Achara, I know this movie makes me super emotional. Bingbong!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
As someone who lives with depression, this movie hits too hard. How it can deconstruct your personality, how it can twist your thoughts into sad memories, how we blame it on "normal" sadness but it's different. Sure the basic story is more about growing up and accepting more complex emotions but tobm me it's also one of the best depiction of how it feels to be depressed too.
15:40 I just wanna give Jaby a hug at this point. You okay dude?
27:39 "Take her to the moon for me"
That ruins me every single time... 😭
I've never seen Jaby look so defensive of a movie before. So many moments he was turned away as if it was going to legit attack him.
Also gotta say, I agree that this movie gets me in tears more than any other Pixar movie. Riley going through grief and depression and it being depicted not just as sadness, but as being devoid of joy AND sadness (and eventually locked out of all emotions) is so powerful.
"Where did she get a hammer?" Jaby has obviously never had a child.
Watching Jaby relive the trauma the closer and closer it got to BingBong's sacrifice was almost as painful as watching it again, SUCH a good film but a gutting moment - great job guys!
I cannot believe Achara hasnt seen this before! Such an amazing movie
Riley isn't being an angsty teen.... she's not a teenager yet. She's undergoing a LOT of stress having to keep this happy facade up. As someone who moved to different states 7 times as a kid i related a LOT to Riley. Unfortunately i didn't have the supportive parents Riley did. Forced happiness was all i knew until i moved out. This whole movie shows that children have more complex emotions and parents need to stop ignoring that and expecting kids to be happy 24/7
I think this film is incredibly important for parents too. To appreciate that your children aren't these happy go lucky little beings and to really pay attention to their moods and behaviour because there is always a reason. Also to not put pressure on your kids to provide you with happiness, it's not their job
There is a reason why we feel sad the most for the imaginary friend part....Cause we all had one...all of us
I really like the fact that they change family island from just being a home to be both minnesota and san francisco
Without sadness, there's no joy. Each emotion is somewhat connected to each other. Notice how Sadness is blue, Joy has blue hair. Disgust has a purple scarf. Fear has a red-ish bow tie.
That one scene, you can tell he was trying to prep for it, but you just can't. No matter how many times I watch it, still water works. I think the day the water works don't run, I need to seek professional help. As heartbreaking as that scene is, to me, it still shows me that I am human and I have a heart. Respect to the Imaginary Friend, and the to the Imaginary Friend we all may have had growing up.
Never knew that Achara has been living in Indonesia before. Sending love from Indonesia ❤
Yea I'm surprised too...
Her mom’s side grandmom is Indonesian
One of the best movies that a lot of people don't want to watch again, because it emotionally devastated them the first time.
Thanks for the reaction.
Love that they resused the audio of Boo from Monster's Inc as young Riley. There's even a few shots where Riley has the same pigtail baubles as Boo.
This is definitely a top tier Pixar movie. I really like how this movie is about emotions, and it looks pretty accurate to how our emotions look like. It’s honestly a great time.
Disney and Pixar
InsideOut perfectly shows here that you can't really control sadness, anytime it can happen. Trying to stop it from happening is much more destructive than you might think.
As someone who studied and has immense love for Psychology, this movie is top-tier! I love how this movie relays the importance of feeling all of your emotions while also teaching young children and adults how our brain works and the different stages of memory processing. I can say that when I first watch this, I was a sobbing mess! I cannot wait for Inside Out 2!
Awww the post credits weren't in the reaction, they were hilarious
I find it interesting that most reactors find Sadness annoying. When I first watched this movie I felt that way about Joy.
I think that was the general idea of the story , to make you feel sorry for sadness and also understanding the point of joy at end
Look at the colour of Joy's hair and eyes. It's BLUE, indicating sadness, implying even the essence of joy encompasses saddness, and that both are intertwined and inseparable.
One of the things to remember about this movie is when it came out. 2015? So Reilly would be 11 meaning her parents were more than likely late boomer early Gen X. They aren't the best at dealing with their emotions. So the fact that Anger runs dad and Sadness runs mom? tells a story of its own. They both grew up in a very ridged belief that you needed to be a certain way in how you reacted to things and couldn't accept other emotions.
This movie will EVERY time make me cry. Its an unbelievable look into the truth of emotions and how each one makes us truly understand life and the things around us. We cant honestly understand life without each and every emotion, no matter how uncomfortable they may make us.
They depicted the complexity of emotions and the need for a variety of emotions to function properly, whilst simultaneously showcasing the effects of depression and how it erodes away at your mental state so beautifully. So excited for inside out two.
Jaby's face when he sees BingBong 🤣
I lost my home to Hurricane Katrina & so did my son. It was hard & i was in my mid 20s. My home had been taken away & i felt for that girl but as an adult, as a mom, it was very hard. My dad just passed away & my mom is still alive, imvery very grateful of them. Especially for my son & his dad. Sadness & Joy are the perfect balance to keep going. Im still here.
This is what happens when you try to suppress your emotions. None of this movie would've had to happen if joy and the other emotions hadn't been trying to stifle sadness and keep her from doing her job.
As a father, this movie wrecks me every time.
A theory for this movie is that sadness turns to empathy and anger into determination ❤
It’s funny how different our experiences can be. You mentioned how difficult being the new kid can be. I’m sure there were times when I felt that, but for me the biggest move was the Summer between 7th and 8th grade. 7th was the worst year of my life, because some of the kids I knew in elementary school started bullying me and there were new bullies as well. I overreacted to teasing, which made the ridicule worse.
But when we moved to a new neighborhood, I had a fresh start and 8th grade was wonderful. It helped that the school had uniforms, curbing egos a bit. That year I met my two best friends as well, Jacob and Alex.
One of my therapy movie , along with Soul , and Up . Pixar knows how to make even the hardest minds to cry rivers
Disney and Pixar
That ONE SCENE we all know. Doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen it. I will cry. I cried watching it in this video. It is so so so well done. I love this movie
The fact that I couldn't see you guys crying when Bing Bong fades away because I was crying too 🥲 hahahahaha
Same 😂
Watching someone watch this for the first time is always great. Watching someone watching for the SECOND time is fascinating, and relatable.
No worries, Jaby! I’ve watched this movie so many times, and it still moves me to tears…EVERY time! Damn you, Bing Bong!!!! 😭😭😭
Disney Pixar rarely make this type of relatable and presentative movie anymore.
A type of movie where literally everyone can relate.
This a favorite among psychologists and counselors. My mom often uses this movie with clients that are suppressing their emotions or having difficulty in not seeing that emotions are neither good nor bad, they just are and need to be acknowledged.
I follow your channel religiously and seeing Jaby cry today made me tear up. I've never seen such a pure reaction out you guys. I love your work! I wish we could ever collab or have a conversation!
When I watch this film, I was amazed because Pixar is never stop for making everyone cry and I realized every Emotion have important thing for everyone:
- Joy seeks happiness and optimistic vision
- Sadness seeks empathy and compassion
- Anger seeks strong desire for justice
- Fear seeks safety and survival instincts
- Disgust seeks comfort and rational, sometimes cyanical thinking
I truly think this movie should be shown in schools to children. It’s such a wonderful representation of how our emotions work & it’s ok to feel them all. The bing bong scene destroys me every time. ❤
I just want to hug sadness. She is so cute.
Am i the only one who thinks that?
This movie makes me cry every time.
This was so very well done. The reason this impacted me so much, is because Riley was masking her sadness with fake joy. But once she opened up and was honest about her true feelings with her parents; she learned that they missed home too. We all can feel so bad inside because none of us, are ever, honest with ourselves, or with one another person, about how we truly feel. If her parents had exposed their own sadness of moving rather than that fake it-to-you-make-it attitude, Riley would not have felt so alone. She hid her feelings because she thought that everyone else in her family had moved on. It makes you feel broken when you can't get over things as quickly as other people around you purport themselves as doing.
Jaby crying is so adorable 😭
"Were just suppressing sadness " thats why shes getting the urge to touch the memory's ❤❤❤❤ sadness is the emotion riley needs to feel🥺
Jaby crying and showing vulnerability is something, it shows that this movie is very special.
8:21 There is a theory saying that what sadness is trying to do is to make Riley release her suppression. Because sadness thinks she needs to cry at the moment. If Riley keeps suppressing her sadness and refusing to cry, she will have some sort of dysfunction.
Jaby anticipating all the sad scenes. Aahh heartbreaking!
Oh man, I can only imagine how emotional Kristen Stephensonpino would've gotten watching this lol. Please make her watch it if she hasn't seen it yet lol. I get it, though. This movie hits me in the feels too.
12:00 i died laughing. One so innocent and unaware while the other is re-thinking life choices. 😂
Bing Bong still made a sacrifice for Riley even after being forgotten
even watching this segmented reaction video made me cry. i was 53 when I first saw it in the theater with my 20 yo daughter and we were both our eyes out.
I just want to get a jabby and Achara Kirk a big hug
I like how he indirectly watches almost the whole time trying to avoid the tears lol
aww Jaby is already crying at 10:47 LMAO 😂😂😂
Joy was suppressing sadness In the beginning and sadness did say "I don't know what's wrong with me I'm having a break down" and I think that's great representation of what happens when you do suppress your emotions.
Inside out 2 is out!!!
I truly believe Pixar outdid themselves with this. They’ve messed with our emotions before but wow they broke the fourth wall. Inside Out is a masterpiece ❤ this is their greatest achievement. My absolute favourite Pixar film. Wonderful seeing you guys emotionally connect with it.
"Let me get this straight, you think it's funny watching Jaby ball his eyes out?"
"I do, and I'm tired of pretending it's not"
Hockey island going down always gets me.
I love how everyone on first go always bashes down on Sadness😅😂
Jaby Achara and me crying on cue at the same scenes 😅
We all had that one imaginary friend we all forgot as we grew up 😢
I recommend you watch Cinema Therapy's videos about this movie (one of them featuring some of the people who made the movie), they are really interesting and informative!
Yes make reaction to this pls
I understand that you guys find sadness irritating but for me it is just right to feel sadness. For me sadness is one of the most important emotions, it can help us accept and adapt. Without sadness, happiness or joy has no meaning.
I don’t understand how these two are crying and I can’t even shed a single tear . have I become so cold hearted like that?💔
This movie wrecks me every time. It's my favorite Pixar film, which was hard to do. It's such a beautiful and expressive story. It's great for helping kids understand and process emotions, but even adults benefit from a refresher.
39:45 it's not just animation, live action is a lot more intense feelings than real life! Mufasas death is heartbreaking, but deaths of certain characters in *LOST* or *The Walking Dead* hit me harder than real life deaths. Movies can take out conflicting feelings and memories and just give you the pure CONCENTRATED stuff that they know will have a much stronger effect. (and it doesnt allow you to use the walls and protection we use in real life)
Joy + Sadness = Nostalgia & Melancholy
I love when these two people come together.
OMG Jaby remembering his childhood 😢
