The Scene That Changed Inside Out...

Inside Out is one of Pixar's modern classics... and I didn't like it. But with Disney announcing the sequel - Inside Out 2 - at D23 this year, let's look back on it to see the best scenes what made everyone adore this movie so much. The fact that it had the real world power to help communicate with emotionally and mentally unwell children means this movie is real magic. Whether I'm a fan of the film or not.

...Well, I can at least same I'm very curious to see what new concepts and emotions they tackle in Inside Out 2 will be. Show me angst and existential dread.

The reason Sadness solved the darkening console so easily is because it was the Idea that Anger planted earlier. Once Riley took the idea, it was stuck. Fear wouldn’t work to remove it, more Anger wouldn’t remove it, Disgust wouldn’t remove it… the only way to remove that idea was Sadness. Making Riley realise how sad she would be if she really left her parents behind. It may’ve seemed like an easy fix, but it made complete sense.

The thing is, if Joy hadn't let sadness take the memories, she would make Riley happy, therefore making Riley think she was doing the right thing. Yet another reason sadness was needed.

I really love this movie, it doesn't just speak to kids, but adults as well. Bing Bong's line of "Take her to the moon for me, okay?", and Joy's response of "I promise, Bing Bong", never fails to make me bawl. 😭💔

I think that sadness instantly knowing what to do is very fitting
Sadness is something that you don't have to figure out, it's a natural response. And we also see that sadness has impulses to touch memories all trough the movie, it's literally her purpose and she feels a need to fulfill it, but the other emotions where keeping her in check
Also, it shows that the sadness was not a sudden tought, it was being bottled up all along and she was just keeping it that way in denial, and letting it out was that simple

Only Amy pohler could play a character like Joy without being so mind-numbingly annoying
And Phyllis Smith is the absolute star of this movie. Her voice is perfect for sadness and the sweetness and care in her voice just matches too perfect for words

I revisited this movie for the first time in years recently, and I was floored by this ending. Like… I’m sure a lot of people have experienced such strong negative feelings for so long that they just go numb. That’s how I interpreted the emotions not being able to control Riley anymore. “We can’t make Riley feel anything” really got to me. And the fact that sadness is the one who freed her from that- sometimes you have to face a sad reality in order to come to terms with it

Inside Out is one of those movies where you really have to stop and think about what it's saying because its message is legitimately uncomfortable for a lot of people.

The idea that you need all of your emotions, that it's ok to be sad sometimes, is something even a lot of adults struggle with. Chaining yourself to just being happy 24/7 will just lead to depression and apathy, I know because I've been there.

Notice how the movie also never specifies Joy's role in the mind. It's because joy, unlike every other emotion, is fickle and fleeting, it can come and go in an instant. Joy's main character flaw throughout the entire film is refusing to accept that the emotion she embodies can't be forced, which caused the events of the entire plot.

I really love that scene where Joy experiences sadness and cries when she finally comes to her senses and faces the consequences for her own actions. Like that Joy crying scene really symbolizes what Pixar is as an animated studio: sympathizing and sharing our feelings :’)

Inside Out is really good. :)

I thinking a lot of people give Joy so much unnecessary criticism and hate for very wrong reasons. Like they say she’s the villain of the movie when in reality she’s not. :/

I LOVE this movie. I relate to Riley a lot; I was always the "happy kid" growing up, and my mom once did ask me to keep smiling to help when my dad was going through a tough time. I moved around a lot as a kid and into my adult years thanks to my dad's work, and each new move was a fresh load of sadness at leaving friends behind. I had imaginary friends and outgrew them. And when I was thirteen, I had my first depression.

I remember feeling this profound sense of catharsis as I watched the final scene. It felt so raw and so real. People like to think depression is just feeling really sad all the time, but really, in many cases...it's not feeling anything at all. I had a deep sense of apathy about myself, my life, and my family, and the only reason any of my growing discontentment was discovered was because of the overwhelming sadness that finally poked through the neutrality. It so perfectly captures that moment where nothing seems to matter, until suddenly you're hit by a feeling of grief and realize all you wanted was someone to notice how hard things are and how much you just want a hug from Mom and Dad.

Obviously everyone's situation is different, and this movie won't be an exact one to one for every person struggling with depression, but I see myself in Inside Out. It was the first time I ever watched a movie that felt like it was made just for me. There's something very special and beautiful about that, and it's scenes like the one described here that stick in my mind and make me sob like a child every time I watch the movie. I physically cannot make it through this film without crying at least twice. I'm so glad it exists, if not just to make people like me feel like someone out there truly understands how it feels to be us. Thank you for emphasizing the impact this movie had on kids learning to talk about mental health. It's truly remarkable.

The reason I love this movie so much is that it very directly cuts through a HUGE misconception most people have about what depression actually is.

Depression is not simply being sad all the time. Depression is when you can't feel anything at all. It's when your entire sense of happiness and sadness is just...gone. Replaced with numbness. This is why it was vitally important to the plot that both Joy AND Sadness were stranded out there. And often the first sign someone is recovering from depression is, in fact, when they start processing their sadness again. Just as Joy comes to realize at the end, Sadness isn't a bad thing. It's there to help you get your head around the things that hurt you, and to help you seek relief in the people you love.

This is SUCH an important real-world message for people going through loss or trauma. And the world is full of well-intentioned but misguided people who, like Joy at the start of the movie, think they can help depressed people by just forcing them to focus on the good or happy things in life, when what they really need is to find a constructive way to face what's making them unhappy.

The part of the movie that hits me the hardest was when the console goes grey and Riley loses the ability to feel anything at all because she has finally succumbed to depression. Chilling, and accurate.

A nice little detail that I hadn’t noticed the first couple of watches is how with the dual emotion core memories, the islands grow bigger than they were before. This really helps drives home the message that emotions are a messy side of the human mind and that some emotions are taken as bad when in reality, embracing how you are feeling and realizing that it’s good for you to feel sad or angry. Because that’s human nature and allowing ourselves to feel those emotions makes us more complete and developed individuals in the end

[kalosbaku]

This movie legitimately made me cry every time watching it because it’s always been after something really tough had happened, even just when seeing you review it, I always forget how hard this hits especially when you’re a teenager going through the thick of it all

[sirsloth]

in highschool in norway i went on a line that was everything from medicine to working in a kindergarden, and our teachers showed us this movie as a great example on how help kids understand emotions.

[bluehairedemon]

As part of my mom's work she encounters a lot of children with communication problems (most because of autism, but from other stuff as well) and this movie actually really helped teaching those children ways of expressing what they're feeling

[DanGamingFan]

Just listening to someone describe this scene chokes me up. That's how you know it's great.

[harleyhuskey]

Of all the emotions it makes sense that Sadness would know immediately what to do, she did read all those manuals.

[rayseeklo]

You know when a movie is so powerful you break down into tears from watching a review of the most emotional scene in the movie.

I’m not crying, you’re crying!!

[raspberryjam]

You're completely right about the solution being "easy." But more often than not, most of our conflicts, both internal and external, can be solved fairly easily. We like to think that the solution must be equal in size and magnitude to the problem. If the problem is drastic, so too should the answer be. But in reality, it's far more simple than we realize, and *that* is precisely what makes it so hard to fix the problem. 99% of the issues we face can be fixed with just one thing: a new perspective.

[JustDestiny]

The reason why the bing bong death scene has so many failed attempts is because at this point of the movie, joy is starting to think it’s hopeless and is holding on by pure desperation. As the scene continues with multiple failed attempts(none of which seem to go farther than the last), you can feel the tension and desperation crescendo as you start to fall into the mental state of joy. YOU want them to succeed and are equally frustrated that it’s failing and are desperate for success. Which finally breaks into a single heart wrenching moment where you do succeed, you get what you wanted, but at a cost you weren’t ready to even consider.

The most important aspect of that scene is pacing which the whole team(director, artists, animators, scriptwriters, voice actors, etc.) nailed perfectly. The ability to put the audience in the shoes of a character is really difficult but this movie became my favorite Pixar movie by how effortless it was able to do that multiple times.
