    So I saw Inside Out yesterday. A) I loved it. B) Did anyone else notice the gender identity thing?

    Riley's mom has 5 female emotions, her dad has 5 male emotions, and pretty much everyone else they show in the movie has homogenous emotions matching their gender. Except Riley. Riley has 3 female emotions and 2 male. Now it doesn't actually say anything explictly but, that could mean anything from 'Riley's gender hasn't solidified yet' to 'Riley's a tomboy' to 'Riley isn't cisgendered'.

    I was so impressed and so happy about it! BIG round of applause to Pixar for sneaking that in there.:eusa_clap

    Same. The ending is brilliant. I think I have to relate mostly to Disgust at the moment haha.

    I haven't seen this movie, but apparently according to the Nostalgia Critic review of Osmosis Jones Inside Out took a lot of its themes and concepts from that show.

    My mother and I went to see it this summer, and it was pretty good. My mother literally cried near the end of the film.

    Err...Not to burst anyone's bubble, but I think I just found out something about Inside Out that might change peoples' views on it...Here's the proof:

    I totally didn't catch that when I saw it. I loved the movie and I did cry, although not as much as I would have if I hadn't been in a theater.

    I loved it so much I went to see it in theatres twice (with different parents) my theory on Riley's different gendered emotions is that Riley's anger and fear character have more male tendencies, like how I imagine things, is that female anger would be passive aggressive and laid back but male anger is up close and personal. Like her father, Riley is short tempered (dinner table scene, video chat scene) but Riley's mom has a cap on her anger; thus, Riley got the trait, and the emotion, from her father.

    Loved the movie. I almost cried during a few parts.

    Idk why people think they get too old for Pixar/Disney movies. Those are really some good quality movies that have a lot of thought put into them. I don't think we ever get too old for them. :slight_smile:

    Osmosis Jones and Inside Out are pretty different. I think the comparison is pretty shallow tbh (like Osmosis Jones is about a white blood cell working together with medicine to cure a body, Inside Out is about how emotions affect us, work together, and how even the negative ones are important...)

    I loved it!

    It's pretty interesting because when I was in counselling I was told that my anxiety is not all of who I am. That it is something I need but just not to the extent where I give it power over me.

    I have to stop letting fear drive me all the time.

    Also the message that it's okay to be sad sometimes? Amazing

    About Osmosis Jones and Inside Out. I haven't seen Inside Out yet (but I already know enough about the plot) but come on. It's a movie set inside the human body. Only so many directions you can go. That's like saying "28 Days Later" is a rip-off of "Day of the Dead"- same genre, similar tropes, etc. I highly doubt Pixar was intentionally ripping off Osmosis Jones. As any writer/creative type can tell you, it's hard to make anything that can objectively be called 100% original.

    I just saw it as 'people are themselves', but maybe that's being too simplistic.

    I've been told that they've actually started using Inside Out in counselling!

    Yeah, I was wondering about the different gendered thing, too~ I was surprised that everyone else had same gendered ones, but thought it might be because she was still a kid and growing into her emotions (also because they needed to have more variety to get a bigger audience, lol)

    I liked how each person had a different emotion as their "head" emotion~ Riley's was Joy, her mom's was sadness, her dad's was anger~ it made me wonder what everyone thought their driving emotion was~ ^.^
