Author's note: Hello again, everyone! I am back with another story, which was a request from olaughlinhunter, and I hope that he as well as you all enjoys the first chapter :)
This story is structured quite similarly to celrock's "Rugrats Characters React to Fanfiction" and my story "Hey Arnold Characters React to Fanfiction" which is a fact that I should note, and the Rugrats are basically talking about what they thought of Inside Out. Today, we will be starting with Tommy Pickles.
(I'd also like to quickly mention that Tommy is around two years old at his time of writing this.)
Disclaimer: I do not own Rugrats. This fantastic show belongs to Klasky Ksupo, and the idea of having Peter write the letters for the babies was inspired by celrock's story as well. In fact, I'd say that the only thing I really own is the actual story, now that I think about it.
Rugrats React to Inside Out
Chapter One: Tommy Reacts
Dear peoples of fanfiction,
Today, I was asked by a lady named Nairobi-Harper to write letters to you guys on what I thought about this real cool movie called "Inside Out." She said that it was a request from her friend Olaughlinhunter, and we were gonna do it like we did it in celrock's story, and I'm real glad to be here doing this today!
'Course, none of us really know how to write yet, so we're having Peter do it for us, and I'm gonna make sure to thank him for that afterwards, if you're wondering. But, for now, I'm gonna talk about what I really, really, liked from "Inside Out" and then what I kind of felt could've been left out of the movie. Since I'm a positive baby, I'm gonna start with what I really, really, liked.
To start, I really liked how the characters looked. I can't really say I've ever seen anything like it - that character Joy was the brightest thing that I've ever seen, and I remember me and my friends sitting there at the movies whispering to each other about her when she first came on the screen. It's almost like she was actually glowing, and when I got home, I even scribbled on paper a few times with yellow crayon to see if I could make it look just like that, and I couldn't! 'Course, Angelica called me dumb for it, and told me that nothing that bright would ever fit on paper, and it was probably made with some fancy new technology or something.
Second of all, another thing that I really liked was what the movie was trying to teach us, which is that it's okay to be sad sometimes, and you should never try to be happy all the time. 'Course, as a baby and an almost-toddler, I know that it's okay to be sad, and I actually always thought that everybody knew that, but then I realized from watching "Inside Out" that some people do, and some people don't. Some people are trying to make other people happy by not being sad, or at least by not showing that they're sad, like the main character, Riley. (Thanks for helping me find that word Peter.)
I guess this movie also kinda made me realize that everybody's different. Nobody has the exact same memories, and nobody thinks the exact same. I know that must seem like a pretty silly thing to realize, but this movie made me just kind of think more about that, and helped me realize that nobody's life is exactly like mine.
Third of all, I thought that Anger blowing up was real funny, and just like I wonder how they made Joy's character look so bright, I wonder how they made the fire coming from his head look so real! It actually kinda scared Chuckie in the movie theater, but his new mommy comforted him.
Last of all, I guess I gotta say that I like the whole idea of the movie. I can't say that I ever woulda really thought that maybe there are emotions inside my own head, and it makes me wonder if there actually are who love me as much as Riley's emotions love her. I think that would be really cool, actually, and I kind of hope that actually is how things work in my head.
Now, onto the things that I didn't really like as much.
First of all, I didn't like how Anger treated Fear sometimes, and how the movie didn't really treat it as bad. He seems to scare Fear all the time, and even though I know that Anger wasn't 'sposed to be a bad guy, he still wasn't that nice to Fear, and I was real surprised when he never even 'pologized for it.
Second of all, I didn't really like how Joy was so mean to Sadness at first, and everyone else just sorta took it. Maybe I'll understand better when I'm older or something, but I didn't like how everybody else just kinda took it. I am glad that Joy 'pologized at the end, though.
Mmm… now that I think about it, I actually think that's kinda all. There wasn't really that much that I didn't like about the movie, and I can definitely say that there was more that I did like than I didn't.
Anyways, I hope you guys liked my letter, and make sure to thank Peter for writing the words for me.
Your bestest pal,
Tommy Pickles
