Please tell me I wasn't the only one who cried when Bing Bong... 😭🩷 what is wrong with you Pixar!??? HOW DARE YOU!! Full reaction here: www.patreon.com/user?u=23309427

Inside out is a masterpiece and is actually used in a lot of therapy settings to explain why all feelings are important!

I know that's probably most peoples first instinct, but it always pisses me off when people think sadness is messing up in the beginning. Joy is the one messing it up by trying to suppress the other emotions, Sadness is just doing her job!

I loved watching him transition from "Sadness is F*cking us up" to "you're allowed to feel sad, you're meant to get your emotions out" and fun fact - this movie specifically started a boom in the therapy room, especially with children. It gave therapists a strong identifiable and visual reference point to help kids, adolescents, and adults explore, identify, and explain not only their own emotions, but their emotional relationships with others.

One thing I noticed and really like about Riley's dad is that after arguing when he went up to see Riley and tried to cheer her up, when he noticed that Riley was still upset and not in any mood to play along, he immediately gave her space and left her alone. My family would literally pester me until I pretended to be happy so they'd just leave me alone. So seeing a parent be respectful and patient like that is such a good representation of good parenting tbh.

I work in therapy and the use of this film for children has been phenomenal.

Don't worry Niall, I promise we all cry at bing bong's part. "Take her to the moon for me." will always make me cry! it is also a very popular meme for the same reason

this is still my favorite movie. sadness kept touching the memories even though she knew she "shouldn't" bc it was what Riley was actually feeling. joy kept masking over sadness even though Riley was actually upset about moving. the movie has a really good way of depicting emotional conflict and suppression, eventually it just overflows into fits of anger until you go emotionally numb. the mom's sadness is like the one in charge because it has evolved into a more complex emotion; empathy. it doesn't just tone it down to "you need sadness to feel happiness" but shows that sadness is just one of our many emotions and we need to feel to validate it just as much as our other emotions

I really used to bottle up my emotions as a kid cuz I thought I had to be a happy kid for everyone. But once I reached a certain age, I couldnt handle it anymore and hit severe depression. Kids should br taught about importance of all emotions 🤕🤕

I love how we see the emotions and their place with the parents. You see sadness as the center and all of them sitting in a table together since the mom is now mature and had over come depression. Meanwhile you see the dad the same with the table and emotions together but anger is at the center meaning he had anger issues during his life . Riley on the other hand has the emotions all scattered around and more free showing how she’s still a kid and is still learning to be more mature.

This movie quite literally saved my life as a kid. I literally went through exactly what Riley went through in this movie. I was born in New York and moved to Texas away from all my family and friends when I was 8. And this movie actually came out when I was 11. I was not accpeted by my peers and bullied very badly. Seeing this movie when I did made me sob uncontrollably. I remember my parents and I hugging each other in the theater as we all sobbed. That moment alone saved my life. I cannot thank this movie enough for just existing. Bonus: this movie also changed my girlfriend's life, too, it's what made her interested in psychology and made her persue being a therapist.

I love how it represents emotional repression. Even though it’s dark you NEED to experience sadness and other feelings to grow and develop well. This just shows that you shouldn’t hide your emotions or cover them up or you would keep messing up or stay stuck in the same place lost.

The ending where she’s talking to her parents ALWAYS makes me cry, doesn’t matter when I watch it or if I’ve been watching the movie before hand or not. It hits too hard, being relying on by your parents for emotional stability and not being up to par. Pixar hits and it hits hard

Did you notice that Sadness is in the Captain’s chair of Mom, but Anger is the Captain of Dad? And how all emotions are at the console for Mom, showing they’re all equal, while Anger is separate from the rest for Dad as if it’s the most important or strongest emotion. So fitting for how women vs men are raised. Also, the creators at Pixar have said they make movies for adults that children can enjoy (rather than the other way around, like most people think). So the fact all their movies are so deep and make us cry is intentional lol.

31:05 Riley better become an astronaut or a rocket scientist or something

This movie has done a HUGE service to mental health practices, because it provides such a clear and insightful way to think about emotions and talk about emotions - and it recognizes how each emotion has a valuable role to play in keeping us healthy and functional. Lovely reaction! :)

Sooo many things about this film are genius but one small detail that I think gets overlooked is when Riley gets up for that first day of school and Joy tells Sadness to stay within the circle she draws on the floor, saying it is her job to keep all the sadness inside the circle. That was literally Riley making the decision to put on a brave face, be optimistic and ignore the fact she is actually feeling sad that day. Something we all do way too much. And a lot of people think sadness is annoying because she constantly touches things and doesn't listen but the point is that no one can control feeling sad, it's not a choice, it can't be helped. And as the film shows, more damage is done by ignoring it and trying to force happiness rather than just allowing yourself to feel sad and move passed it.

Sadness is one of the most important emotions we have - without her, we wouldn't have empathy! I love how the film shows her skills. Joy is just one colour in the palette and life wouldn't work if she was running everything all the time. I also love when the memories begin to be more than one colour. Since my mum passed away, most of my "yellow" memories have blue to them too now. Life gets more complicated as you get older, but it's still beautiful in a different way.

I've been battling depression since I was around Riley's age, and I can't even explain how seen I felt when that control panel greyed out. I know there are some misconceptions about depression, and another reactor I watched thought it would be like what Joy has but if Sadness were to take full control. As his reaction went on, the realization hit him that depression is also just numbness. When Fear said "We can't make Riley feel *_Anything_*" it was just perfect. This movie is so mature, and I 10000% agree that it's for all ages. It taught me a lot as an almost 25 year old who went 10 years without crying because of the very same reason as Riley. Such a fantastic film, and I really think it will remain one of Pixar's top five greatest films they've ever made. So damn good. Your reaction to it was just as good! They're always so fun but the way you're so in tune with your emotions and aren't afraid or ashamed of showing them proudly is really inspiring lol. Thank you for sharing your journeys through movies and shows with us!! We love them a lot, and you've created such a safe space here on this channel, you should be really proud of yourself!! You're awesome Niall!!

oh my god it just hit me. the part where a ton of memories start going into the pit? thats so so real for depression too. like you come out of the episode and you struggle to remember things. like sure some memories will come back with time but god, its so insane how this movie captured everything. the "we cant make riley feel ANYTHING" cause of how depression numbs you. th ememory loss, the depersonalization. It's so so real and painful and this movie does amazing

Niall’s gonna cry and then that hot Pixar dad. I am SAT!!!

"Bing Bong is a MURDERER" I snorrrted

nah cause when Bing Bong died I wanted to die too

its always interesting to me to watch people watch this movie and think that sadness is being annoying or screwing things up at the start, because my own first instinct is to find joy so hamfisted and overbearing. trying to paper over Rileys sadness causes her to selfdestruct, shy away from people that care about her and strain her relationships. toxic positivity can be very insidious because it can read as seeing the silver lining, or being a go getter, or trying your best, when really it can alienate you from asking from help and receiving care from others

People rarely notice this but Joy has the colors of every emotion, her skin (fur i guess) is yellow with a tint of red, her lips are red, her dress is green, and her eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, hair and aura are all blue; Joy can't exist by herself, she's made up of every emotion, she needs them to be full.

I teach small children and this movie is one of the best for teaching about emotions. I always play it at the beginning of the school year. It really gets them thinking about their feelings. Also, many of my non-verbal students recognize the characters and point to them when they want to express how they’re feeling. Truly love this film.

The biggest character development was him going from “we need to put sadness in a prison” to “you shouldn’t lock your sadness away”

It blowed my mind how well this movie demonstrated the way sadness is fundamental for our ability to feel empathy/sympathy for others, without ever explicitly stating it

The sort where she walked into the gray also struck me as joy falling into the forgotten pit. She felt so lost and depressed she forgot how happiness felt. Without the balance of joy and sadness, she was nothing. Also joy loving little things like Riley sticking out her tongue signified Riley loving herself, which means the depression muddied her image of herself. Hope this helps !! 😘

This movie perfectly and respectfully depicts what it feels like to be in a depression. As someone who was depressed for upwards of 10 years of my 25 years of life, I can tell you that it is really accurate. For me, I can track my depression to a few specific events that I won't mention for obvious reasons. But it was basically a confusing change at around age 10-12. I don't remember the exact year. It caused me to only be able to fully feel anger, disgust, anxiety, fear, and annoyance. I could feel sad, sure. But most of the time, it was a shallow sadness, like being sad. I couldn't watch my TV show or something. Same thing with joy. It was the most shallow feeling that joy has to offer. Like laughing at a joke or funny video. Feels great in the moment, but it's gone and forgotten by the next day. Then, the dangerous part of depression hits. Where ALL my emotions are dulled down. Whereas, to an onlooker, it just looks like I was always angry. I got annoyed at even being talked to. Still do. I got anxious, which broadcasted itself as anger when something happened that was overwhelming. Like, not even anything actually overwhelming. I'm talking about being given a homeschooling assignment of reading 31 pages and doing the quiz at the end. This gave me a mental breakdown when I was 16. This was what I was stuck in for the better part of 8 years. It took its toll. It led to self-harm at a young age. Even younger than I mentioned. I won't tell the details, obviously. It even led to the worst kind of depressive thoughts when I was 21. That's when I realized what I was feeling wasn't anxiety but depression and that I needed help. Which I got. I'm much better now 4 years later. Like I said, I still deal with it. But this movie speaks to me on a different level because of what I've been through mentally, as well as my experiences. This movie is a masterpiece. Makes me cry every time. I admire how it was able to tackle subject matter so deep and remain respectful and kid friendly. This is why Toy Story 4 falls on its face. It tackled heavy subject matter and treated it like a joke. I find Toy Story 4 insulting on almost every possible level. I'd recommend staying away from that one. But I won't get into that one. It would take me hours to type everything. I don't have the time now. And it's irrelevant to Inside Out. Absolutely love Inside Out! So much! Edit: Also, 33:00 Feeling sadness, like actual full-on bawling your eyes out sadness, after being depressed for however long, feels amazing! Because during depression your mind suppresses that emotion automatically. I am pretty sure my first real cry after years of depression is one of my now core memories.

this movie taught me that it's okay to allow myself to be sad. you cant be happy all the time. you need to cry it out to feel better, pretending to be happy and not acknowledging just brews it and it's explode later

I always interpreted the beginning with Joy and Sadness, representing how when you try to only be happy, suppressing your sadness, it only makes you miss all the old memories more. The sadness being drawn to the memories just by forgetting what it was like to express yourself freely without lashing out at people. Reminds me of when I moved states.

When I was little I cried when bing bong died, but now what makes me cry is when Riley goes home to her parents and is just crying. It’s just very heartbreaking and reminds me of me right now. Also sadness is my favorite emotion cuz I think she’s very important

The emotions represents Riley. So when joy is trying to surprass sadness, its really Riley trying to hide away her sadness, maybe trauma, of moving far away and losing important aspects of her life. Edit* theres a short on Disney+ and inside out 2 is coming un JUNE!! AHHHH *Joy takes over*

This is my absolute favorite Pixar movie. I cry every time. Especially when Riley is finally expressing her sadness at the end and her parents validate her feelings. That bittersweet mix of joy and sadness is the best! I love this movie so much!!

I have a child therapist acquaintance who started using pictures of these emotions to help kids articulate how they feel after this movie came out

You’re basically dead wrong in the beginning, Sadness isn’t barging in and doing what she isn’t supposed to do, she’s actually trying to DO HER JOB, Riley should rightfully be able to feel her sadness about moving away and it’s actually JOY that is barging in and taking over in places she shouldn’t be, that’s actually *causing* Sadness to act out. Edit: and I knew you would be smart and emotionally intelligent enough to get it in the end lol ❤

Definitely made for us big kids 😭, but I love that showing this to kids would really help them find the words to describe their emotions. These ones always speak so well to the kids and the adults

I think the reason why I love reaction channels is because it allows me to... FEEL vicariously though others' experiences. I generally am so... dry and withered; numb... I can only simulate emotion through hindsight, and seeing other people be able to feel in the moment simply... amazes me.

Ive seen this movie 30 times on my own, with friends, and online with reactors and without fail i cry at bing bong fading away.

This movie won ALL the awards…deservedly so. Oscar, Critics Choice, BAFTA, Golden Globe…I can’t wait for the sequel. I’m loving all your animated movie reactions. Have you done Encanto?

I actually love when sadness starts to touch the happy memories, it goes to show how much we humans choke down our feelings and be strong even though deep down we are all not doing ok

I saw this in the cinema and people in the audience were straight up ugly crying/sobbing in the theater.

If Riley doesn't become an astronaut in the next movie, I'm going to demand a refund.

As a brazilian guy I confirm, all our pilots are hot like that

You can never go into a Pixar film without tissues!

I freakin love your movie watch throughs! Just discovered you last week. Do you edit your own vids? Whomever edits your vids is a genius. So funny!

I am actually surprised by how many people were annoyed by sadness at the beginning of the film! I personally was annoyed by joy because I've had bad experiences with toxic positivity, so I was irritated by how she talked to sadness. Of course, I grew to like her by the end, but I'm pretty surprised that my experience wasn't the majority lmao

my deadname is riley (not spelt like that tho) and when this came out, my school had a movie day for it.. safe to say i was laughed at for a while.. especially for the imaginary bf 😭

I had an imaginary friend, her name was Lucía, she was a girl my age (6-7 years old) with a beautiful white dress and wavy brown hair, We played together and sometimes he came to dinner with the family, for my parents everything was very adorable until one day... While playing with Lucía, my mother joked saying "where is Lucía?" and I answered "There, next to the dishes..." and 5 seconds later a porcelain plate slipped from the dishes and broke, also breaking the floor tile. I couldn't see Lucía after that... And then she showed up to play at night, she was slightly transparent and pale, she would show up every night until one day I made a friend in elementary school, It was the last time I saw her... But I haven't forgotten about her, my photographic memory prevents me from forgetting her completely, she is still here with me, waiting to be useful in the future, when I have no one left again...

Sadness is so important. You cant mask joy when you are not feeling it. Only leaves you bottled up and hurt. A good cry session is so needed at times. This movie is great🥹

This movie never fails to make me BAWL. As someone so suffered from depression for years it hits me SO hard and makes me link back to how I used to be. its one of the best movies ever imo

This movie means so much to me.... I had a very emotionally abusive mother, and I wasn't allowed to cry. Worse was that I was undiagnosed adhd, so had emotional regulation problems. I cry very hard and openly when something affects me, whether I'm happy or sad. My mother hated it. And she made it known constantly. I grew up afraid to cry. So I'd hide myself away when I was getting overwhelmed. Crying in silence in an empty room was my normal. But then I saw this movie, albiet after moving out and having more awareness to what my mother did to me. Y'all I openly sobbed in the movie theatre when both Joy discovered sadness/joy can be a thing, and then when riley confronted her parents. It was like my child self could finally be free of the pain and worry of expressing myself. Thankfully my husband is my #1 supporter, and always tells me to "let it out" and to make sure I make myself feel better by actually feeling my emotions. Everyone needs to see this or realize that its okay to feel things.

Sometimes sadness is what we need, suppressing it is what makes you shut down and feel numb. The way they enforced that happiness is her main emotions has stopped her from reaching out (like when the mom said thank you for staying as our happy girl) toxic positivity is not good when you dont feel truly happy. Brilliant film

When I first watched this I was dead set that Bing Bong was a secret Bad Guy, in a 'I will not be forgotten' way. So when I saw what actually happened I started bawling. Great movie

The amount of lewd memes I've seen of the dad in this film... GIRL. That aside, I really like how this film explores how sadness can lead to empathy and how hurtful toxic positivity can be. Also not sure if you noticed or mentioned it (I might've missed it), but the emotion sitting in the center is the main one (Joy for Riley, Sadness for her mother, and Anger for her father, etc.).

Inside Out holds a special place in my heart. It’s one of the few movies I saw in theater. As an emotional person, I’ve always struggled with extreme highs and extreme lows. When this movie came out I was deep in depression and this movie had me bawling in theaters. Even now, when I’m in a better place this movie makes me tear up every time.

I loved the fact you actually got most of this movie's messages right on first try. Lost count of how many times I used Inside Out's concept of depression in psychotherapy to help my patients to learn and understand it. Depression is not extreme sadness, it's this "nothing veil". And the motive sadness (the feeling) is so confused with depression is, ironically, because it's the only feeling strong enough to be felt under the veil. Sometimes, anger or fear can pick under it too, but the effect doesn't last that long. It's not that they are sad, but the fact sadness is the only thing they can feel. That's something the movie got really well. That's the motive Sadness was the only one who could remove the idea when Riley started to feel depressed. In Riley's case, Sadness (the character) was clearly the most repressed feeling inside her mind, and the fact Joy forcefully excluded Sadness from the panel when Riley needed to grieve but couldn't, made Sadness powerful enough she could paint any memory, of any color, even without touching it, blue. It happens when you bottle a feeling, it just turns stronger and stronger. And it needs to be released somewhere, that's why Sadness felt the need to get closer to the memories, in special the core ones. At that moment, Riley needed to feel sad, she lost her entire world and was desperately missing her ex life and trying to grieve. If Joy didn't realize her mistake in time, Riley would get worse and worse. Repressed sadness, fear or anger can turn into serious mental and physical illness. That's something most patients need to get when treated. No wonder one of Joy's concepts was to be an actual villain. Toxic positivity can be as damaging as anger without control or bottled and unleashed fear. I really loved your reaction. And don't worry, EVERYONE cries for Bing Bong.

I just found your channel about 2 weeks ago and I love your personality and commentary!! ☺️✨️

I appreciate the honesty that you’ve seen it before. When other reaction channels act like they’ve never seen any movie ever I’m like 😒😒😒😒

The way you sum up the story is EXACTLY why it SHOULD be a kids movie! Kids need to learn about their own emotions as early as possible

this move was such a pivotal part of my childhood. growing up i had undiagnosed autism (wasn’t diagnosed until teenage years) and i was in therapy for what we would come to find out were autistic meltdowns. now getting a child to have deep conversations about emotions they can’t even process is extremely hard. after i saw this movie, i told my therapist about it and we continuously used this movie to think and talk through mental health. i also had an imaginary friend and world at that same age so the story line with bing bong was a way my therapist could connect with my brain. especially when it comes to autism, life can be like flipping over hurdles instead of just jumping and being able to get help from it is so important so that you can live. without this movie, i don’t think i would’ve ever gotten the help i needed that ultimately led me to getting diagnosed.

The first time I watched this I was such a sobbing mess going through tissues like crazy and while it's not as bad now, I still cry every single time I watch this movie lmao

i think the reason sadness was being so touchy and weird about the memories is because joy was always suppressing sadness and we all know how that can end

Has anyone noticed that each adult is run by a different emotion? Mom is run by sadness; Dad is run by Anger. Mind blown

I cry every time I watch this. I didn’t get how deep the story/message was when I was younger, but now…it hit so deep. 😭

just discovered your channel. I'd be looking forward to more Pixar movie reactions. They just make the best movies.

Love your videos! Can’t wait to see which next Disney/pixar film you relax to next!

We watched this movie in my AP psychology class in high school to explore our emotions and how they can manifest in others. Its a great film

Soo… if they had kicked sadness to the curb, would Riley have possibly became a psychopath/ sociopath? Because that moment with Bingbong was empathy

Sadness is actually my favorite. She’s everything that I need.

I really love ❤your channel. especially this film I can't wait to see more emotions in the cinema with the second one coming out soon

I haven’t seen this film in YEARS and it’s so interesting how much you picked up that I hadn’t noticed, loved seeing your reaction! I too was crying along with you

This movie came out when I started to have depression. It took me a while to watch it, but when I did, it hit me hard because this is exactly how it felt. Unfortunately, being an adult by then, I couldn't just cry and feel better, but that little breath at the end just gets me. That breath of relief feels so good after a good cry

just want to say, ur literally so adorable!! I keep finding new things to appreciate about you, keep up the good work you goof

I don't remember crying so much watching this movie when I was little. Now I cry so much, I could fill up a whole ocean. 😢

Inside out is so amazing, i love watching it and am SO excited for the new version, im literally scanning every part of the internet for little clips of the new movie!

always fun going on this journey with you ❤

Cinema Therapy did a couple episodes on this movie where they break down the psychological aspects. I highly recommend it if you want a better understanding of it!

i was 10 when this came out and i remember watching it and not understanding anything of the movie, when i re watched it now at 18, well, let's say i cry every time i see it. this movie leaves us with such bittersweet feelings, i feel sad because we all relate to it. that loss of childhood when bingbong disappears and when you realize you are at an age where you can actually look back and feel nostalgia and sadness with past things. not because they were all sad, but because not being there and experience what you felt at the time makes you miss it and realize it will never come back. and that in the end memories are just memories, no matter how much we think about them

clicked as soon as i saw this…absolutely love your reactions!!!❤️

I love this lmaoo- when you said to lock up sadness it got me- new favorite movie reactor-

I definitely recommend Song of the Sea, as well as other films done by Cartoon Saloon. Such beautiful 2d animation and story, you'll definitely enjoy whatever film you choose from their list!

I do love this movie, it really explores the concept it chose well. The emotions, even sadness, seem to acknowledge they'd prefer Joy to be in comtrol, but, because they each have a role, they want to protect her in their own way. Joy acknowledges the benefit in ceding control to all but sadness, which makes sense, being her polar opposite. But failing to let Riley acknowledge and work through her sadness, saw it burst out at the worst time, and that failure to, admit she wasn't ok, was what let the depression take over... Hence why sadness was needed to remove it. Really well played, how they represented that. The gradual loss of connection to the things that you cared about or enjoyed, leading to, not sadness, but emptiness, numbness. Really impactful film, so looking forward to the sequel, but, well, anxious whether they'll do a sequel justice.

This movie came out when I was like 7 or 8. It was the first movie I ever cried while watching. AND NOW I’M CRYING AGAIN WTH?

13:36 One of my favourite things about the parent brains is who is in control and at the heads of the table, for dad anger and fear and mom sadness and anger makes so much sense and it’s heart breaking

In my highschool health class, our teacher once forced us to dissect this movie to better understand mental health.

This is one of my all-time favourite Disney/Pixar flicks and I remember it particularly fondly because I was travelling a lot when this came out and I watched it in a few different countries. Did you know that depending on where this was released, two scenes are different? One is the broccoli scene - in Japan, it’s actually green bell peppers because that’s what Japanese kids hate to eat. The other is when the dad is watching hockey - in some countries he’s watching football instead because it’s a more popular sport outside of the US. I love that Pixar tries to localize the films for their audience.

Fantastic reaction to this movie, Niall! You yourself are a big ball of human emotions and that's what makes you a great reactor! 💛

“aww…maybe we should lock her up” I CANT-

Found your channel when you watched nimona, looooving your reactions !

This movie weirds me out sometimes because we have the same name (and it’s spelled the exact same way), we basically look the same, and my parents look really similar to her parents……

“Anyone else cry there?” Girl, I still cry every time! Between Up, this, and Coco… ugh

I’m frothing at the mouth I LOVE inside out it’s a classic and does a phenomenal job showing how emotions work and making teens and young kids feel seend

I think most of our memories will “never fade”

This movie always makes me cry so hard I can relate. Now my 2 year old will ask me why I'm crying and tha makes me laugh while I cry. There's a sequel coming out this year and I can't wait for it. This is one of my favorites.

31:06 you’re not the only one!😭 every time I watch this movie or watch reactions I tear up or at least feel very choked up. It’s a like little friend or part you that sort of fades away just so you can grow up or get threw some tough situations

Crying with you again 😭😭❤ looking forward for more movie reactions 😊

“Take her to the moon for me” will make me sob EVERYTIME 😭🥺

didn't even have to watch the whole movie to sob at the ending. that hug between riley and her parents gets me every timeeeee 🥹😭
