Everything GREAT About Inside Out!

It may be a stretch but when thinking about sadness touching all those memory orbs and turning them into "sad" memories, I couldn't help but think of memories you have that later become saddening because you know you'll never experience them again. Again, it might be a stretch, but that's where my mind went.

I really like how joy actually glows slightly blue and has blue hair, hinting at the whole "you can't be happy without sadness thing" that the movie ends with.

Riley’s little breath and smile as she’s hugging her parents always kills me…

"Do you think they cam see through us?" "Of course not we're wearing eyeshadow!" Favorite Disney quote

"Take her to the moon for me." That line totally made me fall apart. Holy crap, I was crying like a little baby who just dropped his ice cream.

I prefer to think that her mom’s emotion of sadness has matured to empathy and her dad’s anger is determinism. We even see in Riley’s head, that Sadness is empathetic (when she talks to BingBong) and Anger gets stuff done. This could result from growing up, but it could also be because they’re parents.

“Please don’t be mad” Her parents: calmly hug her My parents: Mad takes over YOU ARE A DISGRACE OF A SON!

I like the idea that the 5 emotions don’t necessarily represent a one note emotion. Obviously, sadness can represent... sadness, but it can also represent empathy and or sympathy. Anger can drive not only how mad you get but also your determination and hard-headedness. The emotion that sits at the center of the control panel is what decides how we act. Say, if Disgust was the emotion at the center, the person being controlled could have a prideful personality. Fear can represent a timid and shy nature but Fear can also represent calm and logical thinking, the personality that would be more inclined to suggest a “tactical retreat” rather than a “full on assault”, for example.

There’s deja vu Nah. Just a glitch in the matrix. There’s deja vu Nah. Just a glitch in the matrix.

Growing up isn't about giving up your goofball island. It's about knowing when it is appropriate to use that part of your personality and when it isn't. and as always remember Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

One of the cutest movies ever!! The teen boy's chaotic "girl!" Always makes me laugh.

and going along with the comment of "emotions on autopilot=depression" being accurate Each island of personality crumbling as riley falls deeper and deeper INTO depression (i.e. losing interest in the things that once mattered a lot to you) is just...too damned real

I love the color theory in this movie, they show you what emotions are in charge with what riley wears. But also notice the colors the emotions wear. Joy has blue hair which I feel sort of foreshadows the ending. Disgust has a purple ascot which could mean about how sometimes disgust and fear can be indistinguishable/related. Fear has a red bow tie which may be that things we hate we're just scared of. When Riley runs away she's dressed in pure black and it shows the emotional hole she's in. I just find it a really neat detail.

Here's a CinemaWins fan word of the week for you: Pluviophile; A person who prefers the rain to sun, finding solace during rainfall. Might not be as extreme for you, but, y'know... always a cool thing to know

I always didn't understand the boys emotions freaking out until a year ago when my boyfriend told me he loves me. He was so scared to tell me and seemed like he was freaking out. So yeah inside out got the boys emotions freaking out when they like a girl pretty accurately. Now I laugh everytime I see it because I picture my boyfriend's emotions doing the same when he was telling me that he loves me.

The detail with Riley wearing clothes that match her emotional state is something I never noticed, it's amazing how much attention to detail Pixar puts into their films

Can I mention how accurately this describes the symptoms of clinical depression disorder? I’m not entirely sure, and definitely not a professional, but the main basis of depression is that chemical imbalances prevents people from enjoying what commonly makes them happy. Hobbies and the like seem to neutralize in them, and people find themselves feeling a bit empty. Not sad, just devoid of happiness. Notice how Joy and Sadness are the two emotions that get lost? Rylee isn’t feeling happy right now, but she isn’t specifically sad— Just like depression. This is a great message to kids about mental health, and I’ve heard that therapists for children use the characters in Inside Out to get a description of how their patients are feeling, meaning they can be diagnosed correctly even if they may lack a lot of vocabulary to describe experience. Okay, thanks.

DID YOU REALLY RICK-ROLL ME?!

This movie represents hockey brilliantly! The way that when her hockey island is intact and thriving she has a fantastic time playing hockey with her dad, even with no puck, but after her hockey island collapses, she struggles to do something as simple as dangling the puck and falls flat on her face when she goes for a slapshot she would usually make. Your mindset is a huge part of your skill in hockey, and this movie understands that.

I got the impression that the emotions can mature as well. Mom has sadness in charge but not "obsessively" sad. Dad is always happy but anger is in charge. Even when anger is going to exercise "anger", its fear who presses the button. In Riley's head only joy can spark joy, disgust=disgust etc. The mind matures, emotions get more complex (memory orbs get to be multicoloured) the mind matures (the console gets bigger with more complex possibilities) so the emotions become more complex and less single minded too. I don't think that's too much of a stretch.
