“Coffee but with eyebags”

and it was done in such a sensitive way, too. there were no ‘bad’ emotions, just unpleasant elements of all of them (even joy), but ultimately they were each important and necessary and valid. it was a movie that told its audience “your emotions might not always make sense, or make you feel the way you’d like to, but your feelings are valid and you are not lesser for feeling the way you do”. that is so important. 

and it also showed its audience that they’re not alone in having a jumble of conflicting feelings, and that sometimes even those older than them have moments like this too. it never discouraged uniqueness in an individual’s mind, but it did reassure us that we aren’t isolated incidents of emotions. that’s super important too!

omg i know. i know. before i saw the movie, i went to the disney store with some friends and one of them bought a plush toy of bing bong that actually smelled like cotton candy, just because she liked his character design. we were talking about how we didn’t really know what his role was, but all of us expected him to be revealed as a villain? all of us. 

so, naturally, all of us were total wrecks when we did go see it and he was actually wonderful and heartbreaking. the entire movie was so personal and touching and as someone that spent a lot of her time daydreaming up characters as a kid that i no longer think about, it was also really devastating in a way too. but not in a way that actually hurt me, just in a way that made me really think about the power of thoughts and feelings. i just loved that movie so much (and i really...don’t like frozen), so it was pixar’s perfect return to form, imo.

but you know. i think the reason why so many of us expected bing bong to be a bad guy was because pixar deliberately had this big, fluffy, pretty coloured character show up on the heels of toy story 3′s big, fluffy, pretty coloured antagonist. lotso bear was also a cherished childhood relic that was cast aside, and he became bitter and resentful and betrayed the heroes, while bing bong also was cast aside, and while it made him sad, he remained loyal to riley (and her emotions) and wanted what’s best for her. but we’d learned before that that’s not what to expect, so we anticipated Evil.
