Synopsis
Riley’s world gets turned upside down when she has to move across the country with her parents. See how she handles the changes from inside her head, as her primary emotions (Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust) help her navigate her feelings.
Why We Love It
Emotions can be big and scary and hard to verbalize. Pixar does a fantastic job of bringing form to the formless and helping kids understand all the different feelings that swirl through their heads at times. One of the key takeaways for me is that all of these feelings are necessary, including sadness. You can’t force yourself to be happy. Sometimes you have to work through all of your emotions before you get there.
