This is a great illustration of how emotion actually helps evoke a set of complex reactions that help regulate and improve the situation for Riley. Furthermore, when her friends also come over and celebrate with her, she is now happy and full of joy. In the scene where Riley is sad because she has lost a hockey match, her sadness actually makes her parents come out to support her. However, the culminating moment (and turning point) in the film is in fact when Joy realizes Sadness evokes reaction from the surrounding and makes other people to come help Riley out of the situation. From time to time, Joy tries her best to stop Sadness from touching any memory balls and thus stop “contaminating” happy memories into sad ones. In the beginning of Inside Out, Sadness feels that she is not doing any good and only makes things worse in improving and regulating Riley’s emotion.
