A Psychological Analysis of Inside Out

A breakdown of the psychological themes and messages in Pixar's Inside Out. Emotions help us understand how we relate to others. Without our own personal sad experiences, we wouldn't be able to help those in need. Sometimes being overly positive can be a bad thing. Sadness is a necessary component of happiness. Inside Out has a lot to say about the power of our emotions and what happens when we suppress them.

I don't really think there's a villain, Joy and the other emotions just want Riley to be her safe and well herself and while some of the things Joy did were very bad like trying to toss away Sadness core memory and leaving Sadness behind behind during the weakening of family island, However Each emotion here is at their core what they Joy was made to be happy and Sadness was made to be sad ect. So it's more of a journey to Maturity rather than being a villain since the main plot starts when Riley is 11 and that is an age where kids begin to mature and in the beginning with Riley's childhood they have some aspects of Riley's childness like how anger was quickly passified after the dad did the airplane. The emotions, they grow and mature with with Riley so I think there really isn't a villain per say but more of a character coming of age story.

I really like how you broke everything down into understandable pieces. Everything in "Inside Out" actually makes sense for a typical child and what happens when someone suppresses their feelings. Everything just connects together in "Inside Out" with some creativity added!

Your videos are underrated barry 💕 This is trully fascinating to hear about psychology

[savannahisherelol]

Joy annoyed me so much bc not everything can be fixed. it's okay to not be okay

[scooburst]

This is so good. I was too young when I watched this movie to fully understand how good it is. This really opened my eyes. Explained perfectly

RIP Bing BONG!! Such a great analysis. Keep up the amazing work Very Barry!!

[BusterBrownBay]

Beautiful analysis this movie always makes me emotional. RIP Bing Bong :’(

[MrSupercar]

Very interesting, yet contradictory to what my first impression was with Inside Out. Right off the bat, I perceived Sadness as the villain and Joy as the hero.

[fulcrum]

I’ve only seen this once so it’s about time I got a refresh

[Nic_]

Joy really is the true villain, but I think bing bong being the original villain and eventually letting himself go as a redemption letting Joy escape without him trying to cling on

[damiensisco]

Joy is not a villain, just a flawed protagonist.

[EvanRybak]

No. Joy is a flawed protagonist. Like most, if not all of Pixar’s protagonists

I want Insideout 2 but unfortunately we will have to wait 16 years as it was with the incredible ones 💔💔💔💔😞 this is the biggest problem of pixar it only focuses on making new franchises and doesn't care about existing ones that were successful I think even soul won't have a continuation before 2029 honestly expensive they should work harder and focus on bringing a second film to all the franchises that have not had a continuation until today and I'm not just talking about Insideout has zootopia for example which is another film that I like most unfortunately pixar does not receive suggestions from fans much less listen they think that when we have Insideout 2 and alma 2 we will be almost 30 years old i am 14 and i love pixar by heart the only pixar franchise that i know that has more than 2 films is toy story but I don't like toy story. well that's my opinion i hope pixar changes and one day listen the old fans even had a calendar for example next year they launched a new franchise and in 2023 they made a movie of an existing franchise i don't know how long it takes making an animation is probably a lot more difficult but it would be nice and would please fans every 2 years maybe 😪😞✊🏻 I still dream of a continuation for several animations and Insideout is one of them for you to see Insideout is from 2015 it's hard in pixar.💔😞
