I've been watching You Tube videos discussing Pixar movies. What got me thinking are the ones on Inside Out. Videos on The Incredibles are also thought provoking but that's for a different thread. What I commonly hear is consistent with what I believe: You need a box of Kleenex to watch Inside Out. What I find interesting is what scenes are and are not sad vary from person to person. I was choked up when Bing Bog sacrifices himself to save Riley but I was not in tears. Others have said that is one of the saddest moments of the movie.

I often hear people say Riley and her parents in a group hug is the saddest moment of the entire movie. Yes and no. In that moment what goes on in the physical world is nowhere near as sad as what happens inside Riley's mind. Joy, the ultimate control freak, says to Sadness "Riley needs you now." She hands control over to Sadness and, on top of that, she gives the core memories to Sadness.

For me the other saddest moments are when Riley looses her personality and Joy is crying.

Others have said one of the saddest moments is when Riley is called on in class. It was a "Can I use that curse word now?" moment but it wasn't sad.

I did not notice this until it was pointed out: When Riley was called out in class Disgust was actually even more frightened than Fear. Fear would be afraid of being embarrassed but Disgust would be even more afraid of being embarrassed.
