Andrew Smith of the Scottish Highlands, bought his daughter the Sadness doll from the hit movie “Inside Out”. He claims to be a Psychology student and says that the doll has “Suicidal Thoughts”. ‘The doll speaks in a very slow, depressed, melancholic tone and myself and my partner sat listening to it and we thought “that’s heavy, even for an adult”. Dad said.
He says he was shocked when he heard the doll say things like, ‘Crying makes me slow down and obsess over the weight of life’s problems.’ Or ‘I’m in an emotional slump – my legs don’t work. Give me an hour’ and ‘Goodbye friendship, hello loneliness.’ He says this is toxic to kids and is calling on Disney to recall the toy. Disney said they hoped seeing the film would give context to what the doll is saying
‘I wasn’t terribly keen on her buying a doll called Sadness having spent the last year at uni doing psychology. The father said.
Some parents are also concerned that Joy appears thin and Sadness is not. Implying that not being thin means you are sad.
