I have watched this movie with my kids in theater, but when it came to disney+ my kids demanded to watch again on one of the Friday night as family activity. But after that we watched again and again and again.. And now i have lost the count on how many time I have watched.
But the beautiful part is every time we watched I found a very interesting facts about how each of our emotion plays important part in our head and how they behave in different situation.
But to give you a small introduction lets see each character in movie:
These are the characters which lives in the head of main character named Reily, as seen in the image each character is each emotion and played a crucial part on building the character. In first part movie revolves around these 5 emotion and by the end movie conveyed the message that its not only one emotion which is important but combinations of the emotions which is necessary and combination makes you a strong and build your core behaviour, which in movie this is being referred as "core memories". In first this was about how joy and sadness plays a crucial part in our lives without them how miserable our life could be and can lead to take some actions which might change the whole life and the perspective towards it.
We keep the best and toss the rest - Joy
But it was not the first part which fascinated my kids it was part 2 which is exciting because i feel they might also going through the same emotions.
Now it gets a bit crowded and now our same Reily introduced to 4 more new emotions: Anxiety, Envy, Ennui and Embarrassment.
Its really fantastic how these character get introduced and how they lead the story and accordingly you can see the behaviour of Reily. Which I am sure when you start to see the movie you will realise that some time in your life you might have went through the same reaction and might be you have behaved in similar manner.
In center part of the movie you would see some interesting behaviour of these character build story, but to bring some smile in your face like you will see character called "pouchy" and "Lance Slashblade". Which is amazing because kids enjoy those character as well and dialogues bring smile to your face. So they have been blended into movie very smartly.
You are correct Joy, we don't chose who Reily will be! - Anxiety
But the beautiful part which I liked is the last 25 min where Reliy looses her control and once how all emotions come together how it changes her behaviour. How she breaths, feels, hear small small sounds and last when she sees the sunshine its one of the best, it has been so well choreographed of last scene that you can feel the emotions. But in end it gives wonderful message that all our action and behaviour should be lead by joy because at the end its not your clothes nor your makeup which makes you cool, but its your behaviour towards other, your small smile and your innocence makes you a superstar. The amazing part which I like watching this movie with my kids is that even my daughter who is just 9 year old she can also feel the emotions and understand the message. I hope one day she might also lead her life with joy as correctly said in the movie: we don't choose who she will be.
No wonder now i can see why this movie was highest gross earning through out the world. What I have experienced in past 5 years (technically only 3 year as 2 year went in covid) in Norway many people don't go to watch movie in theater, what i have observed that most of the time occupancy is only 50% to 70% but with this movie when we watched cinema hall was full.
I would highly recommend this movie and especially if you have kids watch this movie as family night, I can guarantee you will not regret. This is fantastic movie and I would give 4.8 🌟 out of 5, a totally fun movie
