Good point. Depression in fiction is usually just portrayed as mere deep sadness, or a reaction to bad things happening. This was a far more accurate portrayal. A lesser film would have Riley overcome depression by having Joy defeating Sadness in a rousing battle to the finish, but once again, Pixar makes the less…

I didn’t react strongly to the elephant scene either, but that may be due to the fact that I was all cried out from that Lava short they showed before Inside Out:

That too

I think it’s worth saying that not only does this movie do a tremendous job of portraying sadness, it does an even more powerful job of portraying depression and despair. In many stories those are shown as just being “sad, but MORE sad.” But it’s a different thing, similar but not congruent to sadness. Riley’s…

Did you ever have to move as a child? Or leave something behind that you loved? It’s not a universal experience, but it is a very common one. My parents were never well-off, but I switched schools in third grade and then we moved across two states when I started middle school. I didn’t have the reaction Riley did, but…

I would like to commend Pixar for featuring parents in several of their movies who are actually good parents, who really try hard and do the best they can. So much children’s entertainment is based on parents who are idiots or absent.

And now I’m crying. Thanks a lot.

Oops, The first seven minutes of “Up” is one of the best short films I’ve ever seen.

I had yours for you, and for anyone else who did not have one. It’s OK. I can take it. And for me, it’s not about forgetting a specific imaginary friend, it was about putting away childish things. Knowing that the way in which you experienced things as a child is, at some point, forever gone. You CAN’T have an…

I’d had my first child two months earlier so I was already hooked when the opening moments put a lump in my throat (sidenote: thanks to parent and baby cinema, this was his first Pixar film - he’s now watched 13 of them on the big screen). And while it wasn’t the last time the film did that it can’t be overstated how…

You sir, might be a soulless human,

She just isn’t very good at plot so her plots are generally contrived and, especially in later books, depend on a number of EXTREMELY unlikely geographic coincidences.

Oh 100%. My husband and I have been joking about how this show knows 1 plot trick (sexual violence/threat of sexual violence) since I started watching in Season 1. I mean, not only does every man try to rape Claire - but then Jaimie gets raped and Claire has to... rape him to heal him? You have to admit it was…

I think it’s a reasonable assumption that Diana Gabaldon has a rape fetish.

Why the fuck with the loud autoplay on mobile? Nobody wants this.
