Inside Out

That the Train of Thought carries them and they get mixed up a lot.

The were on the Train of Thought, Joy knocked over a box labeled Facts and one labeled Opinions, some items fell out and mixed on the floor, Joy said "These facts and opinions all look the same!" and Bing Bong replied "Happens all the time." while stuffing random ones back in the boxes.

That joke was hilarious!

That joke was really amusing.

It sums up most of the Internet.

It sums up most of the world.

• Joy = Blake Shelton
• Anger = Adam Levine
• Disgust = Christina Aguilera
• Fear = Pharrell Williams
• Sadness = Carson Daly

Korean toddler names the Emotions.

gee, I sure am glad I took those 0 Korean lessons so I can understand none of what's being said.

You don't have to. Simple examination of body language should be enough to tell that the mother is asking what the names of the Emotions are, and the toddler is naming most of them correctly.

There's also a direct translation near the top of the comments section... but there's nothing really profound in it.

It's adorable anyway. :)

"Also, I hate to admit it but, if we ignore the events going on in her Mental World, Riley *does* come across as a whiny brat who runs away from home just from being unhappy about moving. That does seem out of proportion."

From upside, the whole movie is pretty standar: girl move to another place, get frusted about it, get sad and in anger decided to run away only for not doing at the last moment and getting over it.

In fact a lot of moment in the movie made sense that way: why is anger the "antagonist" in the end? because Riley is so angry about the situation she made a rush decision, why core memories are getting blue? because the fact she is in another place made her memory not so happy anymore but something she need to be peace to move on.

Or I least that is how I see it

Exactly; the events happening in the mind-world aren't causing her to act that way in the real world, the events in the mind-world are the explanation for her acting weird in the real world. Storytelling-wise: the real world stuff happens first and the mind-world is just the rationalization as to why.

It serves to anthropomorphize the process, yes.

I disagree; without knowing about the mental breakdown (caused by the missing core memories) Riley running away just because she's upset about moving (especially after what, less than a week?) would not make much sense.

Note that I'm not totally opposed to this; after all, if the events in her mind were *just* allegories to what happened in the real world, they would not be real characters, and their actions and feelings would have no meaning.

Well, of course we don't have little mini-people sitting around a console that controls how we feel about things. Just like toys don't actually walk and talk when we aren't looking, and monsters don't actually appear through portals in closet doors to harvest energy from children's screams.

We just accept that, in this story, that's how things work. Because that's the world they've presented to us.

There is also an important message behind it all, that when you are young and these kind of struggles hit you it feels like the end of the world but it really isn't. You instead learn how to grow past it.

After playing the Disney Infinity 3.0 Inside Out play set and looking up info about the source movie, I've gotten intrigued about it.

What would you say your Emotions would look like inside your head? Like how the ones in Riley's parent's heads looked somewhat different.

No idea about the look but I know that Disgust would be my main emotion with Joy as my second-in-command.

"I disagree; without knowing about the mental breakdown (caused by the missing core memories) Riley running away just because she's upset about moving (especially after what, less than a week?) would not make much sense."

It make sense: she is dealing with a stressfull situation while she is growing, her playfull memories are becoming melancholic(why sadness turn the whole thing into blue) and incapable of acepting this, she hide it in her mind.

Is just that witout her feeling being something more, the story will be very short and very narmy.

The most important thing about the movie is that in order to totally understand Riley'so actions, you need to look at it from a child's perspective. You'll note that that's part of why her parents couldn't really get through to her until she opened up to them—they were both dealing with their own stresses and relying on her to be their light, unintentionally neglecting to look at how she might feel about things (or not looking deeply enough). They can't quite be faulted, though, for having a parent's perspective rather than a child's on the issue.

Children, especially ones on the verge of adolescence, have a tendency to blow small problems out of proportion and are not always fully equipped to handle change. Now imagine yourself as an 11 year old in such a big transition as Riley, being suddenly uprooted from the only home you know and whisked away to practically the opposite side of the country. The breakdown she has in class says it all. She misses her old friends. She misses her old home. She misses her old life. And little things pile up that makes her further and further resent her new life. Her mother asks her to put on a brave face at least for the transition, which she struggles to do. She ends up embarrassing herself on the first day of class, and her bitterness over the situation starts seeping out, throwing her off even of the things she loved (like playing hockey). Talking to one of her old friends, she starts to feel like she's been replaced and feels unwanted and alone. In her frustration and depression, her logic kinda goes out the window and she finds herself thinking in extremes—as children are already wont to do, but exacerbated in this case by her mental state.

I'd continue but my mental state is tired.

But I "do" understand it; I was 11 once too. And I was in an even worse position than Riley; BOTH my parents were dead and I had trouble at school and home, yet the idea of running away NEVER entered my mind because of how stupid it was. I accept everything about this movie except that; honestly, without the whole "idea bulb got stuck in the control panel" gimmick it does not make sense to me. Not over just a few days of discomfort. Maybe if she had made a new friend her parents disapproved of, or something like that...

That doesn't mean you were representative of all children your age.

And I can recall one time when I was a little kid where I tried running away on a spur-of-the-moment decision over something far less than what Riley was going through. Fortunately, my parents caught me before I actually got very far.

Children lack world context and a genuine sense of proportion. And they react to things and try to handle difficult situations in different ways. Some lash out. Riley's solution was 'leave this bad new place that I don't like and go back to a place I'm familiar with that have good memories of'.

For a child her age, it's totally believable.
