From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you thought your only weakness to Pixar's Inside Out was Bing Bong; you are so, tragically wrong.
Each and every frame of this movie could hit you at any moment, to make your eyes violently wet themselves with a mere orchestral flair or nostalgic reminiscence. As Reddit user cadweasel's video proves, even removing the titular 'Inside' from the equation still makes for a heart-breaking tale, without the need to even enter Riley's 11-year-old mind.
Transformed into a 15-minute short with the total absence of Joy, Anger, Fear, Sadness, and Disgust; Pixar's film becomes a simple, yet emotionally honest, story of a young girl struggling to cope with her family's upheaval to San Francisco.
It's a testament to Pixar's art of empathy, of relaying stories and experiences audiences can universally relate to, even if the vessels for those stories are interplanetary robots and furry monsters; here, we explore the difficulties of letting go of childhood and embracing change.
Come on, it's pretty impossible not to choke just a little on the wave of feelings induced by little Riley bursting into tears in class when she fully takes stock of the life and traditions she's left behind in Minnesota; or in the video's final moments, with her parents reassuring her it's OK to miss her old home, and that it's together they'll be able to find a new happiness.
Inside Out is available on DVD & Blu-ray now.
