FIRST TIME WATCHING **INSIDE OUT ** 

“Take her to the moon for me” kills me every time. This movie is so well done. Glad you reacted to it.

Bing Bong sacrificing himself WAS the saddest part of the film.

When you talked about imagination being able to save your life as a coping mechanism I related so hard like wowzers. When I was very young I went through an extremely traumatic event, and as a way to cope my own imaginary friend evolved. It was originally a lion, but it grew horns, had a knight-like helmet, spikes down its spine, dragon claws and sprouted flames down its back that would burn everything yet keep me warm like a blanket. My imagination became my protector, and helped me feel safe in the environment I was in. Creativity to cope or express our wants and needs is so special, which is why Bing Bong was such a painful loss DX

For mom, it would make sense that the lead would be sadness. Not necessarily because she’s mostly sad but because sadness also is empathy/compassion as we saw in that one scene between sadness and Bing Bong. For the dad, the one taking the lead is anger to be more authoritative. Love the details in this movie

Sadness is my favorite. I'm not depressed, but as someone who tends to feel down from time to time and views things in a more melancholy way and is OK with that I think she's a good representation. I view Joy as toxic positivity majority of the movie. When mom told her that she liked that Riley stayed their happy girl or something like it, it felt forced after that. She wanted to be happy for her mom but it wasn't genuine. I didn't interpret Bing Bong disappearing quite the same as you. For me it doesn't mean losibg imagination all together, but as you get older you don't usually have imaginary friends anymore. I hope you watched the stuff during the credits too 🤭

I don’t know why but while Bing Bong disappearing is sad, it doesn’t make me cry. But when Riley comes home and let’s out how she’s feeling, that scene really gets to me.

My favorite Pixar movie. As far as I know it is completely unique, using animation to help kids (and the rest of us) understand how our minds work. Thank you for reacting to it, I could see you really got it.

Ive been depressed for a good while now. Ive seen this a movie a few times but watching it with you was destined to help me nativigate to the other side of my pain. I'm not quite there yet but you helped me to see the horizon. Thank you for sharing your perspective. It made a difference. ❤

The Bing Bing demise scene always makes me cry. 😢

Loved the explanations through this movie especially how you interpreted joy putting sadness in a circle to bottling up your emotions and how it’s unhealthy!! ❤️

Oh, I love you for showing you natural emotions, thank you so much❤ you're person with big heart

I cry almost every time i watch this movie... One of my fav favorites

It's funny how you explain about the emotions and a few minutes later you tell sadness to get away from the memories 😅. The perspective has changed for Riley, the happy memories become more sad because she misses it. The memory is still the same ❤

I connect with your story of writing in class, the teacher coming in and embarrassing you and you not writing after that. I took art in high school. I was so, so proud of a picture I had drawn, it won a blue ribbon in a competition at school, and when I brought it home and my father saw it, he criticized my drawing. I didn’t draw anymore after that. Two years ago, I bought a sketch book, pencils, that kind of thing and started drawing again. I enjoy it, I’m good at it, but I wish I had stuck with it. I believe adults don’t realize the impact their words and actions have on children. Truly.

At this point I don't know if I watch your reactions for the reactions or the encouragement....Amen. Thank you for reminding us to not give up on our dreams. Thank you for opening up to us about your book.❤

I love your reactions so much! So in-depth!

Looks like Riley's dad had a good job offer in SF, and it may be that the family was struggling a bit in Minnesota, so they decided to move to a smaller house in SF and maybe when the busienss takes off, get a better house. Still, they all really missed their old home. I wonder what Riley's emotions did when they HIT the puberty (Haha literally hit the button, I imagine Anger doing it.)

It's not a Pixar movie if it doesn't have the voice of John Ratzenberger in it. I think he's been in every Pixar movie ever made: Construction Worker Fenwick (Onward) Hamm, the Piggy Bank (Toy Story franchise) Underminer (The Incredibles, The Incredibles II) Juan Ortodoncia (Coco) Mack (Cars, Cars 2, Cars 3) Bill (Finding Dory) Earl (The Good Dinosaur) Fritz (Inside Out) Yeti (Monsters, Inc.; Monsters University) Gordon (Brave) Construction Foreman Tom (Up) John (Wall-E) Mustafa (Ratatouille) Fish School (Finding Nemo) P.T. Flea (A Bug's Life)

This was my exact reaction to bing bongs sacrifice. Immediately burst into tears. Its so incredibly deep.

I'm actually afraid of clowns because when my mom took me to the circus for the first time, a clown came up to me personally and started doing clown tricks. I now realize that he was just trying to make me laugh and that my true fear is probably being noticed out of a crowd of people. I'm an introvert. 😂

Thank you for your reaction, your vulnerability, and for sharing your stories with us. These types of reactions are why I come back to your channel.

Joyful memories become tinged with sadness, more specifically nostalgia, longing, just missing that time because life is changing. Joy herself was at times leaning into mania. So Sadness wasn't messing up the memories anymore that Joy was.

"It's bad to not let sadness out" 5 seconds later "Sadness, no! Don't touch anything!"

This is one of my favorite Pixart movies.

I can't let me story die! Even while the world is crashing all around me my story is for everyone mark my words it will live! ❤️‍🔥

It's the death of childhood! She forgot her imaginary friend.

When you're a boy in puberty, that panic is real.

First One The Best Animations Of Pixar Ever Made 💛 Second Love The Way You Look At This, Beautful💛 Third I Want Your Book Like Right Now💛 A Forth ... Thank You For Sharing Your Story Today I Was In a Very Dark Place... And My Head Was Going All Over The Place, I Tried To Write Music, but Sundly I Give Up. And Talk To My Dad, And He Said The Same Things You Just Say (Not In Those Words) but The Meaning Behind. He Even Say I Told You Só When I Show Your Reaction. Need This. Much Love💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

She moved from Minnesota to San Francisco. Ofcourse the house in Minnesota looked nicer and bigger. You just get more value for your money in Minnesota compared to San Francisco

6:02 I do not like that Disney bought Pixar. I wish they had stayed seperate entities.

Hi I love how the girl in the movie she was trying to get some pizza but it was broccoli pizza Not Cheese pizza but it was so funny 😂and woh eat broccoli pizza Is that nasty I eat Cheese pizza or Peppers pizza 🍕 OK

i would have to disagree with you comments during the first pause. if the message during the first part of the movie was the hole movie this would be a horrible message. you should feel Joy all the time. it teaching kids that if they are not happy nearly all of the time there is something wrong. good thing the hole point of the movie is teaching there a place for all emotions. it looks to me like she was over protected as a child. she did not need to learn how to deal with small problems, so when bigger problems came along she did not have coping mechanisms.

I've seen this movie multiple times, and I cry at Bing Bong sacrificing himself every single time. You've given the most beautiful explanation of that scene, and it made me cry all over again. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

"Dreams don't die, they find someone else." Damn, that's such a powerful statement. It hits especially hard for me as I'm an aspiring author. I was scripting my WIP graphic novel as I was watching this. I've been toiling with this idea for almost 20 years now, but fear has kept me from progressing. But I'm pushing through that. I've received many signs that I need to see this through to the end and get it out there. This video included. I'm so glad you and your dream re-found each other. I'm going to read the preview now. You seem like such a passionate and empathetic soul, best of luck on all your future endeavors.

You were very right about not expressing ourselves. I was not in a household where it was encouraged to be sad, angry, or any "negative" emotions. It was a household where we were encouraged to be happy and run from anything that made us uncomfortable. It ate me alive. I became depressed and eventually suicidal. It took me many years to come out of it. One of the most important things is to feel and acknowledge ALL our emotions. It's one things to feel our feelings, it's another choosing how to express them. I thought this movie did an incredible job showing depression and how it forms. Thank you for your stories of writing. I'm so glad you have begun writing again! I had those types of experiences with teachers, some being to the point of bullies. But as far as my writing, all of my teachers pushed and encouraged me. They sent me to special conferences. I remember in third grade, I showed my teacher some poems I wrote. She said: "If you write more of these, I'll put them together into a book for you." And she did. I'm trying to get back into writing after several years being too focused on life to do my passion.

"He jumped off" [CRIES] 😭same.

One thing that some mental health professionals don't get is that depression isn't always an illness; sometimes it's a natural response to difficult or impossible conditions a person is experiencing. Riley had 11 years of a very stable homelife. She developed certain expectations that saw her through any previous hard conditions she had gone through. But now she doesn't have the support structure she had grown reliant upon. Dad's attention and presence is taken away by business demands; her mother is also struggling and now has shifted some of the burden onto Riley. That bedtime talk from her mother, telling her how much the family needs her to remain their happy girl, is burdening Riley with the necessity of providing the 'happy spark' that keeps the family together. It's normal for a parent to do that when the parent is struggling, but it's a lot to put on an 11-yr-old. Riley is struggling without any real support. She's in a new city, a new climate, with very different options (hockey in California? moving from suburbia to urban settings?), a new school, no friends, different rules and procedures, different expectations of her... And initially Riley has no comfort with the familiarity of her 'stuff': her bed, her toys and games, all the accoutrement of her previous life. It's all alien and she has no map or guide to get through this. And then her parents are distracted from her, leaving her alone. It's a nightmare. Everything is demanding and nothing is comforting. Depression is a natural response. But though depression is a natural response, the depression is predicated on the current temporary conditions. Once the conditions stabilize, they will cease to be depressing and she will cease to be depressed. The scene I love most is when BingBong is crying over having lost his rocket/wagon and coming to terms with Riley forgetting about him, outgrowing him, and Sadness listens and is compassionate. Sadness teaches us empathy. By the way, I hear that Richard Kind (the voice of BingBong) broke down in inconsolable tears at the very end of his screentime, as he was telling Joy to go on and save Riley, to 'take her to the moon'.

To me Bing Bong symbolized the imagination of an innocent child. As we grow older we will eventually forget some memories and our ‘imaginary friend’ to make room for more. But like you said, some people are able to hold on to their imagination from childhood making it a part of their future like Walt Disney with his Micky Mouse. Bing Bong knew that he was disappearing with the forgotten memories but he pasted down his spirit to Joy when he told her to “Take her to the Moon for me.”- in hopes that she will carry out her creative dreams that she once had as a child.

For me, it was the selflessness of Bing Bong's sacrifice that got me. He knew what had to be done, and he didn't hesitate for one second. And he was so happy that it worked, he didn't e even think about what it would mean for him. He knew it and accepted it because it meant Joy can get to Riley, and he was content going out knowing that. This movie is phenomenal and your reaction to it was nothing short of amazing. ❤❤❤❤❤

Not even Richard Kind, who voiced Bing Bong got through that scene without completely breaking down. On a lighter note, there is a video of an old EPCOT Center attraction called CRANIUM COMMAND, which inspired this movie, and employed some of the people who developed that attraction...and it was easily the funniest thing Disney ever did for a show attraction.

Let’s be honest, I came here to see you “ugly cry” during the bing bong scene lol Absolutely love your channel. 💕

OMG Kso, another touching reaction. As weird as this may sound, I love when you're moved to tears.

Oh wow this is a perfect movie for you! I'll bet you cry as much as I do when I watch it 😅

My dad died on October 9th 2000, Thanksgiving Monday. This year is one of the rare dates that Thanksgiving is on the same day. It took me a long time to get any semblance of a life together, even this movie oversimplifies emotions but does a great job of exploring them.

I have never cried about Bing bong and didn't understand why others did. Your personal story really hit me. It changed the whole scene for me. Thank you.

All emotions are important and sadness does have a strong factor because the more you try to suppress sadness you unleash it with other emotions that are unhealthy and joy keeps trying to shut sadness out, but that's not the way to go about it either, I liked the metaphor of this movie.

I loved that Joy learned it's okay to have different emotions. And I think the scene of Bing Bong sacrificing himself is one of the best and saddest part of the movie.

Wow...that Big-bong scene was eye-opening to see through your eyes. Thank you for sharing that with us. I'd never thought of it the way you described it, and it definitely hit 10 times harder thinking of it that way. 😭 As a creative person who also gave up on one of my endeavors a long time ago (writing too, small world ♥), I felt this a lot. I have been a reader and book lover since as far back as I can remember. And when I was a kid I'd write little stories. Then this past month I started writing again. And I finally got to thinking about why I hadn't pursued it in such a long time. (over 20 years). There are probably a myriad of little reasons. But one of the biggest was that my 9th-grade English teacher accused me of plagiarising a story I'd written for a class assignment. I still have no idea why he was so adamant that I had cheated. He never backed up the accusation. He also never once asked me anything about my own story (which was not copied) or writing style. Just embarrassed me as a shy introverted creative girl, and gave me a bad grade. 😥 He destroyed the flame of creativity and the budding confidence I had in the craft of storytelling. It makes me wonder what might have been had he instead been even slightly encouraging. What kind of storyteller might I be now if I hadn't been doused with such negativity and needless criticism. Anyways, thanks as always for your insightful reaction 💖 ~Caroline

Hi there, a huge YESSS to everything you said in your reaction. Thank you very much for this and for sharing !!! Sending hugs

I LOVE this film! (So underrated for Pixar) it’s so deep .. hope they make an Inside Out 2 🥰

you know what's even crazier about your sister saying dreams dont die they go to someone else? That Stephenie Meyer has stated that the idea for twilight cane to her in a dream! Life reallyis crazy sometimes isnt it?!

Kimmie, think you so much for sharing your thoughts on this movie, it has always been one if my favorites since its release, and I thought I understood all of its meanings , but you helped me understand even more. Thank you for sharing your personal story with us , we all have dreams and ambitions , but we let other emotions get in the way of that sometimes , especially other people telling you can’t do it, or it will never work. And it is understood that your teacher was just being a teacher , but she should have recognized the talent in you and at least said that you should do more of it, just don’t do it in her class. It was a perfect example of what this movie was about. We are all here to find our purpose in life , and I really wish that I had explored my dreams and did the work to make mine come true.

I forgot my dreams ...until you told your story ...I'm now remembering my BingBong, he was silently waiting knowing I'd come back. ❤

"Take my words, there's only lights at the end of this tunnel! " I was crying as I heard you say that, that was so beautiful and powerful!! It makes me think of my passions and trying again to pursue it. I'm not even a native english speaker but I get you enough, I read you face and body language and it hits me hard in a good way. I thought this only was another fun reaction video but no, it is an inspiration from now, a special moment for me. Thank you ❤

I just love this movie sm. as a person who has been depressed for most of my life, I remenber how it started from being happy most of the time to the feeling of just not having joy or sadness anymore, it was just fear/anxiety, disgust like I couldn't enjoy anything I liked before and anger cause I didn't understand what was happening and couldn't express my emotions. everything's changed when I finally went to therapy, it's like I could feel joy and sadness finally coming back to headquarters after being "forgotten" for so long. all those years suffocating my emotions that I couldn't help it but to let it all out, so I cried for weeks, and that's exactly when I started feeling better, I finally felt like I could enjoy little things I used to do. yes, being sad, angry or anxious most of time is terrible, but it's nothing compared to the feeling of emptiness of depression

your channel truly helps me so much. depression is a monster, but laughs always help. t y!

Man, I have seen this movie many times, and watched reactors even more times, and it NEVER fails, I ALWAYS cry when we say bye to Bing Bong! Then when you lost it, I lost it with you girl, that part hits HARD!! This movie is such a masterpiece!!

I cried when u asked if it was depression so early the movie. U rsosharp. This movie hits everytime. Also remember when u said she had both genders because she was coming into her own, it's a theory that she may b struggling wit her sexuality or a transgender because all the other kids had one gender emotions

16:16 I don't think her Father is having issues financially. I think its just because San Francisco is one of the most expensive places to live in America. He's probably paid more for that small house than he paid for the large house at the beginning.

I was waiting for your reaction on this movie. ❤

Here's to the most gangster character in movie history. Not Tony Montana, not Michael Corleone. Uh-uh.... Bing Bong! To sacrifice yourself, just to know you helped in accomplishing the greater good. Damn, just damn. Thanks for giving us one of the most real reactios ever!❤

Yup... *that scene* gets virtually everyone. There was one scene actually that got me EVEN worse than that most "infamous" scene... it was actually when Joy was stuck in the pit thinking Riley may never be happy again, especially at her line of "Do you remember... when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?" I think the reason THAT line emotionally ambushed me was because I'm empathic AND have people I care about who have trouble being happy. Up until that point (at around age 30) I had actually NEVER EVER gotten a strong urge to cry during ANY movie, but THAT scene was just an INSTANT tear trigger!

When Bing Bong jumped off, I viewed it as a sacrificing of your earliest childhood memories and fantasies in order to propel you into your new more mature self. None of us can take our earliest fantasies and make-believe world into adulthood as reality. We all have a Bing Bong in the "memory pit"... unfortunately, it's just part of aging.

Zanna, also known as Imaginary Friends, are a type of creature that act as guides and guardian angels to children in need of them. They do so under the guise of being a child's imaginary friend for as long as the child needs them, but once the child no longer needs them, the Zanna leaves and moves on to another child.

I think you should watch Koreancomic and cinema therapist. They summarize and give the little details that we didn’t know a lot! Sadness actually have reasons that she touches the happy memory!

I almost forgot to say: Wow I really like the way you didn't edit out any of the time that the camera was aimed at an empty chair (when you took a little "intermission" after... after Bing Bong's "infamous scene."). Sure, it COULD be considered by some to be "empty time in the video" but to ME it just makes it extra relatable because it made me think of the movies I've done that with!

this movie makes me teary eyed every time i watch it. i love this movie, its so powerful

When Bing Bong sacrifices himself, I’ve always thought about that scene as the loss of childhood. Riley is getting older, new mixtures of emotions… we all lose some of that childhood innocence. Makes me cry every time.

Don’t ever let someone steal that parking space reserved for your dreams. ❤

54:42 Actually, as a psychology nerd, I gotta point out that there absolutely ARE many ways in which people from completely different parts of the world or even historical period would get the exact same ideas. It's very cool and really shows that we are all the same species across all races and that human brains are wired in the same ways. We share same patterns of thought, fallacies, biases, fantasies, needs, wishes and tools of personal storytelling because our brains are wired the same in a general sense. I find it fact absolutely fascinating and much cooler than some flim flam mystical explanations.

You are the first reactor to notice Sadness at the helm of the mother’s emotions

GIRL YOUR REACTION TO BING BONG'S SACRIFICE 😢😢😢😢😢 I LITERALLY BURST OUT CRYING ALONG WITH YOU 😢😢😢 THIS SCENE WILL FOREVER MAKE ME CRY!! IT NEVER FAILS 😢

Though my favorite pixar movie is Wall-e, this one I’ve probably watched more. It’s so beautiful I can’t wait to watch your reaction to it. ❤

I’m so blessed to come across your channel. I was originally gonna watch another inside out video but your thumbnail showed me you were so genuine. And your stories really kept me up . Your story about the math teacher made me so mad. But it’s good you saw the positive of it rather than the negative

This is definitely one of Pixar's best movies. It really does a great job of breaking down emotions' roles in our lives and showing why it's important to feel and process them in a healthy way, and in a manner that people of all ages can understand. It's a truly brilliant bit of storytelling, and as you've no doubt seen in the comments, it seriously resonated with the audience. I've been going through a bit of a rough patch myself lately, and stories like this really help me remember not to keep my feelings bottled up (my default is much like Riley's; put on a brave face and wind up having a delayed reaction to everything).

Wow. You understood the movie from just after Riley moved. That’s insane! I’ll look forward to seeing future movie reactions because you’re so knowledgeable!

Thanks Kemi for sharing your story about your early writings back in your school days…. Writer Elizabeth Gilbert has a book called - Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear . There is an Anecdote there from Elizabeth Gilbert and her also novelist friend Ann Patchet about a failed idea for a novel that was suppose to take place in Brasil. Very recommended book because she talks exactly about what you are saying with your twilight experience.

OMG, your laugh is so infectious. Very much appreciate your content. It really runs the gamut between thoughtful discussion and belly laughs!

No Shrek was apart of DreamWorks.

I really hope you react to the show Steven Universe. It's sooooo good. Love your reactions btw 😊

Thank you sm for that lovely interpretation of Bing Bong's disappearance/forgotten scene. One of the best interpretations of this particular scene. THANK YOU SOO MUCH. So beautiful

There was some more scenes at the ends before the credits.

such a beautiful film!

This is such a cute concept. Fire/anger cracks me up!♥️

I LOVE YOUR IN-DEPTH reaction and analysis of the message of the movie, ive learned new things about emotions.

Hey girl, I know what it feels like to cry. It’s just about your emotions. It’s ok you cry other people sob GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE WHO ARE EMOTIONAL AND SAD❤❤❤❤❤❤

Pixar films are THE BEST. ...and this might be my favorite. TOY STORY (all of 'em), FINDING NEMO, FINDING DORY, SOUL, UP, CARS, WALL-E, BRAVE, INSIDE OUT, THE INCREDIBLES, COCO, etc... They really knock 'em out of the park. "TURNING RED" is another winner about girls going through puberty that's AMAZING. More good news: They're making a sequel to INSIDE OUT!! More great (non-Pixar) films you would ADORE: : AMELIE, PLEASANTVILLE, STRANGER THAN FICTION, and GRAVITY. THey're all BRILLIANT!!! Cheers!

Basically Riley’s life had been controlled by her caregivers up until the point where Sadness started to step in. All of a sudden the Joy doesn’t work anymore by herself, Joy is learning how to find the Joy in Riley’s life by accepting the other emotions in certain events. This movie is perfectly made… at the start you are manipulated into believing that what Sadness is doing by touching those memories then you are along the ride with Joy. You noticed the mother’s personalities being blue her personality is actually sadness because her emotions are more developed I think it may be empathy and compassion.

I loved watching your reaction to this and cried along with you. I especially appreciated how you picked up on the differences in the genders inside the minds of people - how Riley's are mixed, while everyone else's are one gender. It's part of the reason this film has become so iconic and beloved in the trans community - showing that it's really about the truth inside that matters. Your discussion about Bing Bong seems really relevant to that, also. When you said Bing Bong was just a part of her imagination that brought Riley Joy and out of depression and inaction - that's how so many trans people feel upon first imagining that life could be different for them and who they really are, and then finally living their truth and bringing who they are inside to life can be a life-saving miracle. And why those who stay trapped in the closet or don't find support struggle so much with depression and too often turn to suicide. I know for me personally, coming out lessened so much of the emotional weight I had been carrying with me for most of my life and greatly reduced my suicidal ideation. "You can survive this pain, you can survive this worry...don't let your dreams stay hidden for long" is a great message to anyone out there struggling. Thanks for sharing yourself and your experiences with us

Kemi, you should watch Missing (2023), the netflix movie. Its gonna be cool to see Kemi fill the puzzles there

Your story is so inspiring! I was the child who was good at math and could not write a creative story to save my life (do not remember names), but maybe I can do more to accomplish my childhood goal of providing safe water supply to tribes without imposing western societal ideals (religion, dress, economic reliance).

Notice how, in the beginning, Joy explains the purpose of every emotion except for Sadness.She doesnt understand why Sadness exists because Riley doesnt understand it subconsciously either. So Riley uses Joy to suppress Sadness because her mom told her to keep being their happy girl to help her dad.

I couldn’t control my tears when you wept through the loss of Bing-bong. Your memories of the stories you used to write and the embarrassment being caught doing something so precious to you at a time you weren’t supposed to I relate to so much. Thank you for sharing this story with us.

I’m so sorry that someone tried kill your creativity and dreams. I know you ARE creative and you dream so big. It’s beautiful to see!! You didn’t let her win ❤❤❤

The "I live in Canada" is very much an American culture reference. It's a cliche in school when someone was lying about having a girlfriend or boyfriend to seem cool, they would say something like "You don't know them though. We met over summer break, and they live in Canada."

Hi I love this movie it so dang good and cute and funny ❤❤❤and My favorite in the inside out is Bing bong he is so funny ❤ and I love it❤😊😂
