You are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand.

And I hope you die.

I hope we both die.

Splendid film. The film's emotional through-line is really well handled and I get the feeling that they first worked out what Riley's story was going to be, beginning to end, then came up with the Emotions' story based on that. It's very coherent on that level, since she's not allowing herself to be sad she can't really be herself.

Would probably have appreciated the animation more if I hadn't seen this at a drive-in very far back. I would kinda like to see this in 3-D just for the crazy abstract "shortcut" scene.

The voice cast was superb- none of it felt like stunt casting, even Lewis Black. (I mean it's sort of obvious but he does well.) Also Kyle freaking MacLachlan is the dad!

Also, while Pixar keeps up the tradition of really freaking sad moments, they may have managed their freakiest bit yet with the bisected dog.

Lava was predictable but I still have the song in my head so at least a partial success.

I'm with you on the corporate thing but I don't think reading the story from the mother's POV adds more than it takes away. The mother really doesn't understand what's going on inside- she doesn't see that suppressing her sadness has made her unable to feel much of anything.

the idea that a child being LGBT and aware of said LGBT-ness is somehow creepy needs to die yesterday, regardless of whether it applies to this movie.

def want a Sadness plush though

I'm open to the idea that Riley is something other than 100% hetero, which is well past due, I just don't think the argument was convincing.
