“I love Sadness; she’s probably my favorite Disney character of all time. And she’s so important to the story in a way I wasn’t expecting. When she sits down with Bing Bong and just listens to him and validates his feelings, it fucks me right up, and I’m a grown-ass adult.”
“I’ve struggled with depression most of my life and Sadness as a character really helped fix me up in a way that’s hard to explain. The way she touches all the memories and ‘fixes’ them again? Thinking about my childhood, ugh, I just ugly cry every time.”
“When they go into the mom’s mind, and you realize that Sadness is in charge in the way that Joy was in charge in Riley’s mind? It…I don’t know, normalized that for me and let me see that of myself not as useless sadness, but as empathy and openness and kindness that is integral to who I am as a person.”
“All that, and she’s so funny to boot. 💙💙💙”
