It teachers children that it is okay to be sad, but you will always have your family at your side. In the movie, Riley tries to run away because she is upset that her parents moved their family to a new state for her father’s new job. In the end, Riley realises that her family was always there for her; she just needed to open her eyes and look at what was around her. Kathy King discusses the family values that are touched upon in the film: “Our family should be the individuals we get to truly share our emotions with, whether we are angry, joyous or sad,” (King). This shows that children should feel like they can share their thoughts and emotions with their family or parents without fear of being judged. Riley has an extremely difficult time adapting to her new school, new people, and a new city. Throughout it all though, her parents are always supporting her. It is extremely important that we teach children that it is okay to feel sad and that they should not hide their emotions; the film does an exceptional job at making sure they get that message across to children watching. Inside Out captures important family values in a very effective and relatable
The theory of emotion that is displayed in Inside Out is the Two-Factor theory. When Riley has a physiological arousal, it is cognitively labeled. One example is when Riley was getting fed the broccoli, her physiological response was screaming and crying, and it was cognitively labelled as disgust. It is the two factor theory because screaming and crying could also be the physiological response for fear.
On the outside, Riley, the movie's main character, is a typical 11 year old. Unfortunately uprooted from her home in Minnesota to live in San Francisco for her father's job, Riley has a tough transition into the new town, sports and school. Usually a happy girl, Riley begins to argue at the dinner table and fails to get onto the hockey team, leading her deeper into an unhappy state of mind. Although all of these events happen to her, like most people, Riley is guided by her emotions. There are joy, anger, fear, sadness and disgust. These emotions are located in Riley's mind, and we as the audience are able to see them physically. Throughout the movie, they help her with her everyday life and decision making process.
Pixar’s Inside Out is an interesting take on how our emotions work as well as how our brains operate. The story starts off with a narration by Joy, voiced by Amy Poehler, explaining how her job works, and how she and the other emotions came to be inside the mind of young Riley Anderson. The emotions watch and guide Riley by influencing how she reacts to different daily situations. The only thing the emotions are not prepared for however, is an unexpected move from Minnesota to San Francisco (Inside Out). This hilarious take at how our brains work allows Inside Out to create an entertaining and engaging movie using character interaction and its deeper emotional and psychological meanings.

Millions of Americans are affected with mental illness each year. Mental illness is very serious disorder and can get worse if left untreated. It can make it difficult for people to cope with everyday life and it can interfere with sleep and eating habits. Mental illness can affect anyone whether it ranges from mood disorders or even anxiety. The cause of mental illness is unknown but chemical imbalances in the body can trigger stress and even trauma, it can be passed from generation to generation and alcohol and drug abuse can also play a role in this illness. People begin to wonder if that God was all loving why would he make people live a miserable life, why wouldn’t he let people happy and if God was all powerful why wouldn’t he stop the mental illnesses from affecting people. I will explain the questions people began to raise with three of the theodicy arguments; Evil as a Privation of Good, The Free Will Defense, and Evil as Therapy.

Another PIXAR film that has tugged the heartstrings of audiences is yet another Pete Docter and Michael Giacchino collaboration: 2015’s Inside Out. 14 This one isn’t as high on the charts as some others but that could be because it’s a more recent addition to the crying canon. This film nicely highlights the way that music in extreme emotional contexts often is in conflict with the tone of the scene.
Pixar’s film, Inside Out, addresses our relationship to our feelings in a sophisticated way for adults and kids to understand and enjoy. Joy, Anger, Disgust, Sadness, and Fear, the five emotions that dwell in the inner world of a young girl named Riley. Joy is the team leader and she displays compassion and demonstrates the aspect of her that permits her to be happy. Anger is very passionate about making sure things work out fairly for Riley. Disgust is highly opinionated and tries to protect her from poisonous situations whether physically or socially. Sadness was used to signal when Riley needed comfort and support. Finally, Fear, he is always on the lookout and I used to protect her. All five of the emotions contribute to build up Riley’s personality. She is upbeat, honest, cheerful, somewhat neurotic, etc.
These emotions are important for children to learn about and be aware of especially when getting older and growing into the tween years. One of the two things I took away from this movie was that you could have more than one emotion attached to a memory. It isn’t a very hard concept to teach children but it’s more or less something that hasn’t been acknowledged on another TV show or movie. Another thing I took away from this movie is that all of your emotions play a role an important role in representing who you are for example, Riley is run by Joy, her mother is run by sadness and her father is run by anger. This could mean that Riley is inherently happy person who normally reacts with a positive out look on life, this could also mean that her mother comes off a little more reserved and some what sad and her father a little more aggressive or short tempered, this enables each person to have their own personality. I feel the biggest lesson children can take away from this movie is the idea that you are allowed to feel whatever emotion you are feeling and that is okay. You shouldn’t feel like you have to force down your emotions to make things easier for yourself and others around you, feel what you are feeling mindfully and then move
Had I watched this Inside Out at different points over the semester, I would have been able to find different flaws each time. This movie is supposed to be about Riley, but it turns out to be centered around the journey that Joy and Sadness must take in order to return to headquarters, more specifically, it validates sadness as an emotion. Sadness spent her first eleven years with Riley being told to stay back and not to screw anything up, in reality, sadness is often frowned upon, because for some people, they are the opposite of Riley’s character. This movie shows that the happiest of children can go through life changing struggles and embrace their other emotions. You cannot appreciate being happy unless you have known being sad, this movie brings attention to the necessity of a balance in life.
