Watching **INSIDE OUT** (2015) ITS The GREATEST DisneyMovie EVER (Movie Commentary & Reaction) 

Billy out here trying to be like Dr. Phil asking us all these deep questions ahaa

-Gets the entire point of the movie is to not deny or suppress emotions -immediately refuses to cry at the emotional climax of the film

The moment Riley breaks down crying and tells her parents how she really feels gets me every time.

“Take her to the moon for me” Yeah kids movies literally are sadder than adult movies at this point lmfao

I use this in my HS Health classes and have my students create their 4 islands, during the Mental Health unit. The kids love it. It’s such a great way discuss emotions with teenagers.

Joy is supposed to be toxic positivity. She refuses to be anything but happy and she doesn't let sadness do what she needs to do. She often represses the other emotions because she thinks that the only thing Riley should be is happy happy happy all. The. Time. So it was nice to see her accepting emotions at the end. I loved this movie though.

I think the best thing to come out of this movie is that child psychologists are using the dolls of the emotion characters as tools to help non-verbal and autistic children express how they are feeling.

Toxic positivity is such a great concept for kids and it’s handled in a very understandable a beautiful way

The short “Riley’s First Date” is really good too

What I find interesting is we see how and why the parents fumble that dinner scene because we see who is at the helm of their controls. With the mom, we see Sadness is head of controls, indicating that the mom is suffering from depression. With the dad, we see Anger at the head of the controls, indication he has anger issues. They're suffering through their own issues and they're not on the same page at all...

I feel like sadness is demonized alot, but the good thinf abiut this movie is that it really pointed out that through sadness someone displays a lot of empathy. And how trying to be positive all the time can be toxic and damaging when you don't listen to others and push feelings that need to come out down.

*I think the point is that being a Positive person isn't DENYING the Negative, it's accepting their existence. Then having the willpower to not let them tear you.*

When I saw this movie in the theater, I was sobbing like a baby. I went through a really tough time in my teens when we had a sudden move my junior year and I ended up in a severe depression for 2 years. That probably created it's own continent in my brain, not just an island. lol. This movie cut super deep. One thing that I didn't notice until the second time seeing it, not sure if you noticed, but the mother's central emotion is sadness and the father's central emotion is anger.

Fear runs the show in most adults, myself included. I have an anxiety disorder, PTSD, severe depression, and chronic pain, but fear is a product of all our baser instincts. Fear + Joy = excitement/adrenaline high (fight), Fear + Anger = rage/violent urges (fight), Fear + Sadness = anxiety/panic attack (freeze/flight), Fear + Disgust = rejection/aversion/complex fear and/or hatred (flight). A symbol of my strongest core memory is literally tattooed over my heart: ❄️❄️ Edit: Memories only change color when Sadness touches them because retrograde sadness = nostalgia/regret/grief.

My grandmother said that crying rids the body of toxins. I dunno how true that is. But I've found a really good cry a few times a year actually DOES make me feel better, not just emotionally but physically.

Joy is the only one which is both colors. Yellow with blue hair. Because there is no real joy without sadness

I'm so sad he missed the boy at the end going into a panic over a girl. xD Also, really the best part is the end with the credits when they go inside the minds of a cat and a dog. xD I just love how this movie shows that forcing Joy can be a toxic thing. Sometimes, you need to let yourself be sad and cry. That's a way to heal. And when the emotions finally realize that memories can be made up of more then one emotion. It's just a surprisingly deep story.

My husband said disgust is at the front of my panel because my face always gives away how I’m feeling and disgust and I make the same face sometimes

I saw somewhere that Joy is the only character that has an aura around her and its tint is blue. Blue is sadness. They were trying to get across that you don't experience joy without sadness. You have to know what being down and out feels like in order to appreciate happiness when you have it.

My core memories is all the good times with my mom , I hope she rest in peace ❤️

I think all my emotions are asleep in my panel.

The Bing Bong scene got me bad. I didn’t see it coming and then suddenly that scene happens and I find myself sobbing over an imaginary friend 😭

My favorite core memory is of my grandma... she passed when I was 2. I remember riding in her car or a car with her. She turns for a split second and I see the side of her face. I try to leave that memory alone because I don’t want to make up something that didn’t happen. I asked my mom if it’s real... she said how do you remember being in a car with her? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don't think there was necessarily anything wrong with telling Riley that her being happy was really helpful to her parents. Being able to make their parents happy make kids happy. The problem was that they didn't realize how much Riley was struggling, so it became a burden instead of a relief.

Whenever your children have a cognitive growth spurt and their moods shift, usually between ages 10 to 17, several times. This is a good movie to pop in and use it as a discussion piece to communicate with your child what concerns, or emotions are they going through right at the moment. It defuses the whole "Sit down. We need to talk" that most kids, preteens and teens tune out or double up on clamping up because you're the authority figure about to give them a boring lecture they may feel seems preachy or weird to discuss with them. Great icebreaker movie.

When you are happy, you can only feel the excitement of the happiness. When you are sad, you overthink everything. That's why Sadness is so clever and the feeling in control in the mothers head.

The question about what my core memory is really got me. I barely remember anything from my life. I’m 20, I don’t remember my childhood or most of my teenage years, and I just got out of my teenage years! I have some images that I don’t really know if they’re true or just me trying to make up memories. One of them (that I know is true) is when I was 16 I think and went to Disney for the first time, came to the USA for the first time after over ten years, and told my siblings on the plane where we were actually going (they thought we were going to the Caribbean), we all cried at that moment. Another memory is maybe me in my dad’s apartment when my parents were separated (idk how old I was). But mostly is just me knowing certain stuff happened but not actually remembering them. Like, I know we went to the Caribbean once, but I don’t remember that trip at all, and apparently my dad was in “jail” at the airport there because they were looking for a guy with the same name and thought it was my dad or something like that, when my dad told me that I was genuinely surprised because I really don’t remember that at all (and I was 15 according to my dad, so it’s kinda weird I’m not able to remember that). Sorry for bothering anyone that read this all the way through with my stress from not having actual memories from my life lol (I know I don’t remember because of trauma btw, someday I hope I’m able to get some hipnosis therapy to help me remember)

One island has to be commercial jingles given how often Mentos, Doublemint Gum, and others pop up. I wouldn’t mind a sequel, if we got more emotions for the teenager or adults. Make it more complicated, Pixar! Include surprise, or pride, or trust, or any of 20 you cut originally. But kudos for consulting psychologists to make Riley’s mind scientifically accurate in how it works.

I can only imagine the emotions in people's head during quarantine. Alot of my core memories are probay all concerts lol

When they zoomed into Riley's Mom and Dad, you can see Sadness controlling Riley's Mom, and Anger controlling Riley's Dad. Come to realize when Riley was breaking down all those memories, she was getting depressed.

This movie needs so much more attention. It's a great way of explaining feelings to kids and show them that it's fine to talk about it.

The part where Riley breaks down and cries at the end, gets me in the feels. Sometimes you just gotta let out a good cry

I'm so late to this commentary but I can't resist telling this story now that you've mentioned that kids don't get far when they run away. When my uncle was a kid, he ran away from home but he left a note telling my grandparents and everyone exactly where he was going. They gave him a few hours and when he didn't come back on his own, they went to get him. First words out of his mouth when he saw them were "What took you so long?!" Never fails to make us all laugh that as impatient as he was, he still refused to go back on his own, lol.

3:25 ironically Riley needed to work on not letting happiness get too in control of things

I honestly believe one of my own core memories is, going to Disney World for the first time. And now I’m an adult disney addict 😂

aw man even during commentaries, I tear up when Riley returns home and starts crying. (I was also really happy at the start of the film to realize she was from my state--)

The O’Reilly commercial is my random memory 😂😂

Fuck dude, that comment about active listening was so real... people really are just waiting for their turn to talk. The running away thing too. I actually cracked up cause that was me at like 9 or whatever. Running away.. slightly up the road and then getting hungry and going back home 😂 - Sam

1. Joy was suppressing sadness, making sadness more sad, making Riley more unstable. The lesson: stop seeing certain emotions as a "bad thing" that needs to be hidden, because these emotions need to be released not suppressed. 2. If I had islands in my mind, I would have maybe three or four: Music Island, Anxiety Island, Jesus Island, Creative Combustion Island, Lonely Island, etc.. lol c':

the Core memory that came to mind when you asked, was of be being sick with an ear infection to the point i was crying in pain when I was asleep (according to my mom who I woke up) She was unable to take me to the E.R. due to private circumstances I won't get into. She called my Dad in the middle of the night (3-4am) who lived 15 -20 miles away. He immediately got in his truck came and picked me up in the dead of night and took me to the hospital, and stayed with me all the next day taking care of me, while mom was taking care of what she needed to.

This movie have such a great message for both children and adults. A lot of adults want children to be happy all the time and to stay in that bubble where problems don't exist, as if they are not there if we don't talk about that. But children notice when things don't go well, except they don't want adults to worry so they will act as if they don't and everything is ok. In both case this is not sane, children should feel like they are allowed to let their emotions out. That's also a great movie about the end of childhood (that's why sadly the imaginary friend had to die, he was the embodiment of childhood, and he sacrificed himself because it is finally time to let Riley grow).

apparently mental health places are using this movie to talk to people about their emotions. i remember seeing this in the theater and my child crying uncontrollably when bingbong died because they didnt realize that you forget and lose your memories over time. stayed in my lap the rest of the movie.

Hi Billy. You tapped into one of my favorite movies here... I got "Inside Out" as soon as I saw the first scene. This maybe an animated movie but for me I like it more than any reality t.v. show there will ever be . This movie hits home on so many levels . I really appreciate your reaction to this movie... Thank you

One of my core memories is definitely when my dad read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone to me for the first time because I immediately fell in love with the series and it has been a huge part of my life ever since. Another would be when I finally accepted myself and embraced the fact that I’m gay.

This movie really said to not force yourself to be happy while my parents tell me I should be forcing myself to be happy when I’m upset with the way things are 😬

This movie was so brilliantly written!!! Love the lesson about it being healthy to feel all emotions!

I only found this channel a week or two ago, loving it so far and watching things all out of order, but when you made a comment about thinking of "all the stuff that goes on underneath all of this" all I could think of was the movie Osmosis Jones, despite not thinking of it in years and not watching it since it first came out.

I'm pretty sure my mom and dad's lead emotions are Sadness and Anger, like with Riley's parents actually. Mom's very compassionate and dad's very grumpy. Mine may be Fear, thanks to bullying and resulting anxiety - but recently I got better at listening to everyone else's input as well.

Also as a person with depression, i can’t stress enough just how amazing it is to be able to feel sad. When i’m in a really numb place, sadness is literally the ONLY way to break out of it - I always need to cry because it’s a catharsis and helps you start feeling again. It’s why i have a ‘crying playlist’ of videos and things that help me feel sad, just enough to get me to tears without making me despair over life’s injustice.

Joy is in charge over the control panel for me. I'm always happy, making people (my family) laugh, and when my family is in a situation like their plans change I try to reassure them by looking on the bright side. for my co-captains is Anger as my second because I get angry pretty easily (since I am on the autism spectrum) and Sadness as my third because I usually cry in regret after I get angry.

Literally the second you sang the O'Reilly song the actual commercial came on. Priceless

As a kid who was punished for showing any kind of sadness or emotion other than 'obedience', I relate whole heartedly to feeling insane pressure to just be.. happy. But I didn't learn this with the help of family, I learned it on my own through years of suffering and being unable to truly let myself grieve for all the terrible things that happened to me. I'm glad kids are being shown this, I truly hope it helps some kids know that they aren't bad for crying or feeling sadness. That there can be more after sadness, not just pain.

You're so right, this IS one of the most brilliant movies EVER!! I also love asking thought-provoking questions like what you asked! However, I'm very introspective and I LOVE psychology, so I could write a whole BOOK about my personality islands and core memories and emotion characters and on and on. So, to keep it brief, I'll just *very* briefly answer your question about core memories and who's in the driver's seat of my control panel. In my head, it's a complex battle for the driver's seat between joy and fear, and joy is driving about 70% of the time -- but that's only because I *trained them* that way. Like you, Billy, I've been lucky enough to discover early in my life how *essential* the practice of positivity is. I've **learned** to be joyful and full of wonder and always be able to find the silver linings. That was also made easier because I was blessed enough to have two loving parents and a pretty charmed childhood, compared to a lot of people. But interestingly enough, their couple mistakes with me were what caused fear to have an almost equal share in the driver's seat. See, I still fight against a lot of fear undercurrents, because I have a couple Fear core memories. One of my most vivid memories was from when I was about 4, and my family forgot me at an exhibit at a museum. I distinctly remember crying hard in terror, turning around and around in circles in that huge museum, too scared to leave that spot, but waiting longer, and longer, and longer for them to come back for me. So many people walked past. I felt so small and invisible. I finally asked a dad with two toddlers in a stroller to help me find them. When we did... they hadn't even noticed I had been gone. And then once, when I was about 9, I nearly drowned in a pond when everyone was at a barbeque. I managed to pull myself out, but when I walked just a dozen yards around the pond to my family and friends, no one had even noticed. So, even though I had a mostly charmed, happy American middle-class childhood, those core memories messed me up enough that today, at 22, I'm always battling a deeply rooted fear of being unseen and forgotten, and nothing I am or do being noticed. I know you didn't ask for that sob story, but you DID ask about how our core memories affect us and which emotions are in our driver seats, sooo.... 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 But again, I'll end it on a positive note: I've been able to learn to teach Joy to drive, so about 80% of the time, I'm literally the most positive, cheerful, and uplifting person I know.

For me this film was about how we need all are emotions working together to have a healthy mind. If you asked people years ago which emotion was in charge they would say joy but honestly in side it was fear I was scared of letting people down saying the wrong thing it made me really suffer with anxiety because the emotions I never let people see. After learning its OK to feel like that sometimes that's when I finally was the joy that everyone else saw.

I remember crying when I first saw Inside Out. I wasn't Riley's age when I first remember moving to a new place, and I felt a lot of the same feelings that Riley did. I was able to express my feelings to my family, but it was still hard. Moving to a new place can be challenging and a little scary.

I love this one! Our kids are grown up and my grandkids aren't interested in it any more. I watch kids shows like this on my own when my husband doesn't have the TV. I didn't realize until watching this that sometimes we just need to feel the sadness, even if we don't want to.

probably the most deep disney film right here. I related to sadness the most for whatever reason😅 joy is very positive but she would really hard to be around in real life. For me at least. Sometimes I need someone to relate to.

This movie always makes me cry cause I feel like it’s about depression. And I’ve been dealing with depression for 5 years so this movie hits home

Hey Billy, so I'm a trainee Counsellor/Therapist and you talked about a couple of critical points in this video. First with active listening - one of the first things we're taught as Counsellors is how to truly listen to someone, and it can be hard because most of us are too distracted with our own thoughts and feelings or we jump straight to wanting to rescue the person and give them advice. When in reality the best thing is for us to provide that safe space for them to open up about how they feel, hold a mirror up to their feelings. When we let people talk without judgement, validate their feelings and don't interrupt them, they really hear themselves and reflect on things, which is the catalyst for positive change. And then you talked about the feeling of sadness not always being a bad thing, that's absolutely true. By itself it's never a bad thing, sadness keeps us human, it lets us know we care about things. The only time it's a negative thing is when you let it bring you down and you don't let yourself come out of it. I know that's easier said than done but we all have up and downs in life and that is inevitable, so learning how to deal with things and remembering that life is for living and experiencing is essential. Really enjoyed this one.

That you understand the deep nature to this movie makes me come back and watch it. The psychological outlook is so much fun to sorta live in at times. Feelings are my world. This is my favorite movie commentary so far.

I love how Riley's dad's emotions were all men and Riley's mom's emotions were all women but Riley's emotion's gender are mixed.. It can mean two things Either Riley is questioning..And once she figures out her gender...Her emotions will become the gender she is sure of or it means she is not one of the two genders also Riley's emotions are childish and immature(which is why at first sadness may have come off as irritating but she was just curious..also that's what Riley should feel as she would miss stuff) unlike her parents whose emotions are very controlled and stuff.. Cause these emotions are children as well.. the emotions are as old as they are

It's Pixar's Inside Out. Disney is just handled the distribution. Think of it like this, Pixar is is the artist and Disney is the record label.

Girl: Gives a guy a compliment Guy: A new core memory

the point of the movie was that sometimes it’s necessary to be sad so that the people who care about you can make you feel better

I'm a therapist and I love this movie. I'm so glad it was so popular and gave people (and kids!) ways to better view their feelings and how their brain works :)

6:51 basically was me during the first lockdown where I realised my high school grades are to be based on opinion from my teachers. *I was a state!*

Riley is non-binary, her dad only has men as emotions and her mom only women and she has both

This is one of the most underrated disney movies billy I’m glad u liked it can u do the chronicles of narina it’s a really nice movie u will like it u will be amazed in the cgi in that movie it’s amazing thank u for doin inside out such a underrated disney movie everyone forgets about this movies makes me cry have a good one billy

Yes, the people you see in your dreams are the people you've seen in real life. You don't remember them, but your memory does. But dream is also good at inventing new stuff/new people. My brain been 'building' all kinds of stuff growing up. I have recurring lucid dreams(or nightmares) very very frequently so I am able to recall many of my dreams/nightmares.

I don’t know for sure which emotion is in charge in my head, but I get the feeling it’s Sadness or Fear. And movies like this you can tell weren’t made to be “kids’ movies”, they’re just family-friendly. Disney, Pixar etc make a lot of movies that are fun and wholesome enough to appeal to children, but the nuances in the stories a lot of the time are so much more for the adults. This one in particular manages to teach people of ALL ages how important it is to properly feel all of your emotions in order to be healthy.

We watched this movie in one of my college classes. That speaks to how deep this movie actually is lol I need a second movie for sure!

12:09 I’ve always thought of it that as you grow older you get used to being there for yourself and learn how to hold on to the ppl who are really important. It’s better to have a few really good friends than a whole lot of “friends” that’ll drop you in an instant.

If you notice for Riley joy is the leader while the moms leader is sadness and dads leader is anger. Which could show that mom deals with a lot of sadness and dad could have anger issues. Another thing is the moms emotions are all women while the dad's is all men. As you can see Riley's emotions are both boy and girl which could mean that she is still discovering her gender. This movie is so deep and the creators are so creative and smart to be thinking about these concepts.Again I am not very sure if I am right about this but this is what I analyzed.

I didn't really vibe too much with this movie the first time, but the more i watch it the more I like it. It was interesting to see what specific parts you liked the most. I feel like I appreciate it more because of that.

Her clothing choices are actually intentional. She starts out in stripes of all the emotion colors then transitions to the black hoodie as she enters depression because she isn't feeling the emotions anymore then once she opens up about it, you can see that the colors are still there underneath just hidden.

Incredible movie/reaction! Since you're one of the only people who react to old/obscure 90s movies, I definitely suggest Heavyweights (extremely underrated and I promise, you will LOVE it!)

I love your reactions, but even more than that, I LOVE the insightful questions you pose to your viewers! You have given me so much to think about and I am grateful for that. Wow. This channel is fun, entertaining AND educational!

#Bingers You should definitely watch What A Girl Wants, especially since you’re dad. PS it’s currently on Netflix! 😊

4:16 I am one of them. My mom unknowingly dated two criminals in a row after divorcing my dad. Then my dad died in 2020 due to a bicycle-car collision a few days after he made a $6,500 donation to our local fire department, which led to his girlfriend at the time stealing all of his stuff and kept us from getting any of his stuff. And then my mom got somewhat paralyzed and we have to take care of everything for her and the house. I honestly don't know how I'm standing, but I am.

For me it’s sadness...I fake being happy cuz I don’t wanna bother anyone with my problems...

10:29 If there are 5 core systems it would be... Personality: optimistic and friendly Family Friends Future Career: interior decorator Hobbies: DIY, dancing, singing, etc. There u go.😊

#Bingers Rise of the guardians

7:14; "If you look for the light, you will often find it but if you look for the dark - that is all you will ever see"

Im thinking about doing a rewatch before i drop inside out 2... not sure yet Patreon Link for UNCUT Videos: www.patreon.com/Billyishere

Joy is my main emotion, Anger will push her out of the way for about 5 minutes then Joy is back😂😂😂

Sadness is more important than one would think. Sometimes you just have to cry it out to feel better

I haven't seen this in forever and last time I did, I was not inteligent enough to know what it meant but now that I do, I feel very... educated and I may or may not have cried because I did almost the exact thing Riley did when I was young but when I came back my mom threatened to send me away instead of asking why I did it. Edit: they also did actual psychological resurch for this and sadness taking over happiness can represent depression and/or being nostalgic.

9:09 9:21 I love we got to see inside her parent's heads and see how different it is: * they had different emotions at the forefront (i.e. Mum - Sadness, Dad - Anger) * their emotions were all the same gender whereas Riley's were mixed * their emotions all seemed pretty balanced and in tune w/ each other whereas Riley's emotions were all over the place and had completely different personalities, etc

Core islands in my mind: Music, Movies/t.v., crochet/knit/cross-stitch, books, and pets. That's the first 4 that come to mind first. 🥰

The emotion that I have at the front of the Control Panel, all the time is probably joy because I’m always so happy and also, a quarter memory for me would probably be being a crafty kid, because I always love craft and I love painting and drawing

her mama’s emotions were really cheating on her husband! lmaoo 😭😭

10:09 yes yes it is I literally watched A League of Their Own before bed and then that night I dreamed that I was living in WWII and I was an 18 year old in 1942 just married to a guy who was going to be shipped off the next Monday which was 2 days away

Bing bong part gets me everytime 😭😭

Core Islands - i don’t think i’d really thought much about it before - Probably ‘Family’, ‘Trauma’, something focusing on the senses specifically, 'Music', 'Media/Internet', '1940s-60s stuff', 'Diversity/Activism/Politics'

I absolutely love this movie. I cried like a grown a#$ baby.

“Yo Disgust is me, all the time” Well there you go, that’s the main emotion I your control panel

"Is this really how your mind works?!" Us: Yes it is so y'all better not be slouching out here

Like as someone with an anxiety disorder, fear is probably my primary emotion, but I'm working on more of a flat command structure where everyone gets equal say.

Ima sing O' Reilly's Auto parts when ever I hear it 👁👄👁

I think the emotions that control me are anger, sadness, and fear. Although sometimes I feel like I have no emotions at all. And that’s on having anxiety and depression and not getting help for years (I am getting help now, and I encourage you to do the same if you suffer from any mental illness, it’ll help you a lot) P.S: if you’re going through something, everything will work out at the end, it has to (as Rachel Green once said). You’re loved and you are worth a lot ❤️
