The movie that showed us it's okay to feel *all* the feelings.
It was an astounding feat when Inside Out debuted in theaters four years ago. It was almost as if someone realized that kids were people too. When we think of children’s movies–the ’80s and ’90s were full of classics. It was the era that gave us The Lion King, Oliver and Company, Beauty & the Beast, and The Great Mouse Detective, among others.
The movie followed 11-year old Riley whose life is uprooted when her father gets a new job, and she and her parents move from Minnesota to San Francisco. Change is difficult for anyone, but for adolescents and teens, in particular, they can be exceptionally challenging. Instead of just analyzing Riley’s brain on a surface level, the movie does a deep dive into her psyche where we meet the five emotions, Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust.
It’s these emotions that rule Riley’s world–but what Disney does that’s so profound, which is why the movie resonates well across generations, is that there is actual psychology behind the storytelling. Even as an adult, it can be challenging to sort through your feelings, and it can be particularly jarring when you realize that you’re feeling more than one emotion at once.
In the movie, Riley is never given the label of depression, though it’s clear that she is. Instead of her parents telling her to snap out of it, or giving her some condescending quip like, “You’ll get over it,” Riley is allowed to seep into her emotions and feel bad about her circumstances until she is ready to confront her fears, loneliness, and heartache. That’s what made Inside Out was groundbreaking.
Unlike the generations that have come before us, millennials seem to be more mindful of self-care and the advantages of therapy. However, this is something we had to figure out on our own. We’re a generation that continued to advocate for mental health. However, with major entertainment powerhouses like Disney and Pixar leading the charge, it opens the dialogue even further.
