Deep Impact of Movie Deaths
Stranger Things’ star Maya Hawke recently opened up about how movie deaths have made a strong impact on her. Remember Dobby, the heroic house-elf from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part One? Dobby’s death was a tear-jerker for most of us, and Hawke was no exception. The death that equally rocked her, was Bing Bong from the animated hit, Inside Out. That’s the magic of cinema – it doesn’t just entertain but makes us feel deeply.
Hawke joins Inside Out Sequel
If you loved Pixar’s Inside Out, get ready for the sequel! In Inside Out 2, Hawke lends her voice to a new character, Anxiety. As she got ready for this role, she couldn’t help but get emotional about two deaths from her favorite movies – Dobby and Bing Bong. Talk about movies touching our hearts, right?
Bing Bong’s Noble Sacrifice
Let’s jog your memory a bit. In Inside Out, Bing Bong, Riley’s forgotten imaginary friend, finds himself trapped in the Memory Dump with Joy. Trying to escape, they use a wagon powered by song. But it won’t take off because of their combined weight. In a heartrending moment, Bing Bong jumps off, saving Joy and vanishing in the process. His noble act had everybody reaching for tissues, including our girl Hawke.
Amy Poehler Tributes Bing Bong
Remember Joy’s bubbly voice from Inside Out? That was Amy Poehler. She too remembered Bing Bong fondly in a recent chat. Poehler paid an emotional tribute to Bing Bong, calling his sacrifice the ultimate one. She revealed, along with Hawke, that the loss of Bing Bong deeply moved viewers. But she also reminded us about the Pixar spirit – learning to cope with loss and growing as individuals.
The Death of Dobby
Drawing the conversation back to Harry Potter, Dobby’s death seems to still linger in the hearts of fans. His heroic deeds left a blitz of emotional impact far beyond the movie. In fact, it led to J.K. Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter, formally apologizing for Dobby’s death in 2018. Truly, movie deaths bring depth to storytelling, connecting audiences on a profound emotional level.
Inside Out 2 in Theaters
Then came the day we’d been waiting for. Inside Out 2 hit the screens on June 14 and collected a staggering $110.8 million on its first day, proving the love for the series. If you’re feeling nostalgic, you can still catch Inside Out streaming on Disney+.
Maya Hawke’s affinity for the movie deaths in Harry Potter and Inside Out is a sweet reminder of how powerful cinema is. It not only entertains us but also makes us feel a wide range of emotions, sometimes breaking our hearts in the process. The next time you revisit Harry Potter or Inside Out, remember you’re not alone if you shed a tear or two!
