"I don't need to worry about them as a teacher, because they're always fine. But are they always fine?" 😭😭😭 I was the kid who was always described as funny, engaging, and smart all the way until high school. My English teacher had me stay after class one day and asked, "Are you okay? I feel like you're trying to convince me that you're okay, and that usually means everything is NOT okay." In that past year, my home life had experienced multiple traumas, and she changed my life forever by being the first person to notice I was not okay. She and I are still friends over 20 years later, and I'll never be able to thank her enough for starting my healing journey.

Nothing hits harder than smiling while walking around the house for no real reason and your parents ask why are you smiling...Thats when I knew i was depressed.

I think it's the most simple movies/books, children or adult, that are the most potent. It's a good reminder we are human and are born with these innate things called feelings/emotions. We forget how much they have shaped us into the adults we are now.

My wife and went to the movies to see "Inside Out 2" w/ our 5 year old. We all enjoyed it very much. I think I actually enjoyed the 2nd one more than the first - I liked the idea of new emotions "moving in" to Riley's mind. And I liked how Anxiety became one of the main emotions, & Anxiety felt that she knew Riley best & took control. That's something that's very easy to relate to as someone who suffers from anxiety. 👍

The best part about this movie is that the viewers get to experience the journey Joy goes through virtually exactly as Joy herself does. At the beginning, both Joy and the audience fundamentally misunderstand Sadness, but they also fundamentally misunderstand Joy herself. Joy does not make Riley happy. Joy navigates happy situations. That is the task for which she is best suited. Conversely, sad situations are best navigated by Sadness. Sadness does not make these situations sad. Things like Dad having to leave the mock hockey game, moving from her home town, the moving van being days late, and a first day at a new school with no friends are all objectively sad situations. It's the same with Riley's core memories. They aren't sad because Sadness touched them. They're sad because these have gone from being things Riley has to being things Riley lost. They are sad memories now, so it's Sadness's job to care for them. It's also why Sadness is in charge in Mom's head. Mom's job is to navigate the family through grief and loss. It's that slow realization that makes the voyage so rewarding.

This movie hits the visual representation of a feeling perfectly. The way a memory changes with new context. Riley's happy memories from Minnesota stop being happy when she realises they are gone. I have felt the same reflecting on a once happy time and that suddenness really bites. It feels like a stab that is beautifully animated. Then there is the inability to feel the strong emotions of joy and sadness when depressed. Add to that the console going numb and it hits hard as someone that was severely depressed in my teens/20s. The decisions being made by certain feelings. Running away was initiated from anger. The pizza and hockey were joy etc I also love the change in complexity of the console. At birth it's a button where Riley is either happy or sad. It then gets more complex, but is still governed by 1 emotion at a time. As Riley gets more emotionally mature, eventually it's all being run simultaneously by all emotions at once. My favourite detail is anger wanting to swear and fear censoring it I'm a 34 year old man and this film brings me to my knees every time. This kind of care and attention to mental health needs to be implemented into an adult aged film. Joker and Fight Club do a bit, but I mean a really deep analysis of the feelings and their purpose but in an adult context Awesome video mate

This movie was so validating for me because as a person in a lot like sadness...especially as a kid. that's not to say I was a depressed kid, but I had a chronic illness, very introverted, undiagnosed ADHD so anxious and had trouble with learning, and most of all I found the outside world really draining. Also I kind of have big eyes that look sad even if I'm not. Its like I have function in a social group..but people can work out what it is. There was a bit with sadness relating to the elephant character...she managed to rally when joy couldn't. And joy was baffled as to how and why. Because sadness is slower, more deliberate...she gets steam rolled over. People are genuinely confused as to when I come up with a solution, or manage to understand what someone is feeling, or why I make them feel better when I'm not a particularly fun person. I dunno..I just understood her character is all

When I was a sophomore in high school one Friday afternoon after school my mom abruptly told me that we were moving. Just like that. I had no idea. She had already checked my younger siblings out of school that day. The first thing I felt was outright bewilderment. That quickly morphed into anticipation and excitement. A new school. New friends. Even a new identity of sorts. My older brother had been very popular, extremely well liked with the girls, and still cast a huge shadow over the campus. For the most part I was just his younger brother. The following Monday my mom and I were getting me enrolled out of school. One of my older sisters would be staying with another older sister as it was her senior year(yes, I'm from a big family). It was late morning, around third period when I went from class to class to turn in my books. And say good-bye. The instance I remember most was in science class. I used to not know why. The expressions on my friends faces in that particular class always resonated with me because at that time of the day I would have been in science class. So there you have it. My friend who sat in front of me as his surname was just ahead of mine in alphabetical order, another guy named David, said "You're breaking up David and David Incorporated(our teacher came up with that)?" I had replied "I didn't even know until after I got home on Friday." After I turned in my textbook my science teacher offered his hand. He said "Good luck, David. Do well, okay." I thanked him and looked out on the classroom and everyone I was leaving. Some said "Good-bye, Paz" as most of my friends called me by my last name. Some said "Good bye, David" or simply "Bye." Save for one girl, whose picture of her expression said more, much more than a thousand words. Admittedly I had been working up myself to ask her out. Mainly to the Homecoming football game that was soon approaching. She must have sensed it, women's intuition and all. As we drove away I looked at the campus. Which unlike most is not one boring, single mass of brick and mortar but rather an open and airy collection of buildings spread out over the hill it is set on. It has the lay out, look, and feel of a small college. Driving away out of town towards our destination but mostly away from people, a lot who are lifelong friends, the excitement I had been feeling all weekend was washed away by tears that began to that flow unencumbered. It was a long and good cry. It's what I thought about the first time I saw Inside Out. When Riley finally told her parents how much she missed Minnesota.

"You can never make this kind of film in live action." Herman's Head: Am I a joke to you?

Im a grown 30 yr old man, and i cry evert time BingBong says "Take her to the moon for me" 😢

This movie was the first piece of media I ever consumed that showed me I was allowed to feel sad, and to *let other people know and see I was*. It's not that I didn't know I was sad, frustrated, hanging on by a very thin thread, but I'd internalized that I couldn't inconvenience other people with those feelings. This film made me realize there is a *purpose* to showing what you're actually feeling: it's so you can get the support you need. Excellent video on an excellent film.

I’ve been thinking about this since seeing Inside Out 2 in the theater last week. At first I thought it was strange that everyone in the movie are run by the same five emotions, but I wonder if the main five get new names as people grow up? Sadness becomes Empathy, Disgust becomes Perception, Fear becomes Caution, Anger becomes Passion, Joy becomes… Contentment? I’m still fleshing out the idea. Thanks for creating a space for ideas 🙂

This is one of my favourite Pixar films, and I feel like it snuck in under the radar a little bit because it came out at a time when they were consistently releasing brilliant films, but with the benefit of hindsight and some of the rubbish they've made more recently, it's starting to be appreciated a bit better.

Hurray for Inside Out! Hurray for IFS! Hurray for you for talking about both!

Superb, I cannot wait for your inside out 2 video. If you played sports as a child you can relate to everything she feels

great work on covering this Pixar Film hope you'll cover Part 2 soon

Encanto was Disney… probably the best film they’ve made in the last decade

I just discovered "a boy, a mole, a fox and a horse". YOU WANT TO SEE THIS SHORT FILM Enjoy🌻

i love how you talked about the self and now inside out 2 has its own belief system

I love your work. I look forward to your analysis of Inside Out 2

W...what happened to World Anvil?

Correction: she’s not moving “home” she’s moving from the home she knew.

Definitely one of my favorite movies ❤

would love to hear your thoughts on the sequel!!

I've been so excited to see if you'd review Inside Out, I just saw the sequel in theatre last week and was reminded why I loved the first film so much

Excellent video! If you're on a Pixar kick, I highly recommend Elemental. It's filled to the brim with clever metaphors and stresses the importance of being emotionally available and connecting with one another. Incredibly smart and beautiful film

The sense of self has always been the problem with me until I moved out and started expressing more

When will the Inside Out 2 video come out? I saw the film at the cinema last night :)

good video

Felt the rocket league rage. It's something else, lol. Kudos for not trash talking too ❤

Nobody cares, but I really want to talk somewhere about my little problem with the sequel. So the idea of EMOTIONS being some kind of full sentient characters, who can have other emotions on their own always felt weird to me. But then I thought about it, and maybe they are more like manifestations of the same person, of different sides of the same person (like you say in this video!). It makes a lot more sense imo. In the end there are no little colourful men in your head, controlling what you do:) But in the second movie Reilly and her emotions felt really separated, at least to me. I can no longer imagine how everything that’s going on in Reilly’s head is, pretty much, her. How joy didn’t understand what even is sadness for, trying to suppress it ended up unable to do anything herself, and all who were left were anger, fear and disgust etc. It worked really well! Maybe that “sense of self” thingy wasn’t necessary at all. I watched some interviews with the creators, they wanted to lean into emotions being kind of parental figures, and I’m not sure if I like it. Felt a little like it used to be a story very dear to me, all about a young girl learning to live life, and then those fIlThY AdUlTs came and stole it for themselves! Sorry if there’re some grammatical mistakes. I’m still learning English.

So we're crying together today? Okay

If you watch the 2nd one, please explain it. It has a message I want explained by you. please!!!

Hello, Mr. Therapist! (I don't know if you have disclosed your name) I found your channel a couple of days ago and I have been binging your ASOIAF character analysis! They are AMAZING! I'm glued to my seat while I'm listening to you analyzing some of the most complex characters in fantasy! On another note, I feel that ASOIAF has a monopoly on almost every entertainment or BookTube channel. I feel like there are other fantasy series that are just as worthy of appreciation and deep, insightful analysis. One of those is The Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb who is, by the way, a friend of George R. R. Martin. She is FAMOUS for her character work. Another series is the Malazan Book of the Fallen, which is criminally overlooked and aggressively relegated to the margins of popular epic fantasy. It's my favorite series and I wish RU-vid creators would pay it more attention. I hope you will consider reading one of them or both of them and do your wonderful deep character analysis on them. Thank you for your amazing work! 💙

💜 💜

My big thoughtless plant

Did you break up with World Anvil?

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

While I did enjoy INSIDE OUT as a film, I personally never really liked DISGUST in the movie, primarily for two reasons. 1.) I don't think the emotion DISGUST is important enough to include as of one of the predominant emotions and 2.) I don't like Mindy Kaling (especially after the BS she's been doing currently). So I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has problems with DISGUST in the film, so thank you for that! Also on a random second note: we actually DO get SHAME as a new emotion in INSIDE OUT 2 (however I guess through the eyes of Hollywood Executives or SJW's, it would be WRONG to actually acknowledge that we as people have that emotion, so they chickened out and labeled it as EMBARASSMENT as a means to not offend anybody. They labeled it EMBARASSMENT, but it's SHAME, it's clearly SHAME! Embarassment is merely an extension of Shame)

Then you might enjoy inside out 2. it is as good IMO.

Not to be that guy, but Encanto’s not PIXAR

gghhhhhhhh

Encanto is a great, but IT IS NOT A PIXAR MOVIE!!!!

This movie portrayed the depression I felt as an adult which resulted from the lack of an autism diagnosis as a child as me having lost everything and having no hope. I hate this movie, I hate the people who made it. It's a horrible thing to suggest to someone.

maybe joy is right whenu grow up u fell less joy 🥲 im16 and my mom and dad had a divorce bad day
