Why These Movie Characters Smiled Right Before They Died

Whatever the reason, a character's departing expression says a lot about who they were and the stories in which they played their final roles. Whether disturbing, beautiful, or something else altogether, these dying smiles cemented the legacies of the characters who offered them.

Inside Out famously left audiences of all ages in tears. The story centers around a young girl named Riley, who's struggling to adjust after a big move. She's in the midst of new and increasingly complicated feelings that come with getting older, and inside her head, the personifications of Joy and Sadness are on a quest to restore some semblance of order. They eventually meet Bing Bong, Riley's childhood imaginary friend.

As the trio tries to heal the emotional wounds that threaten to overwhelm Riley, Joy and Bing Bong end up in the Memory Dump, a canyon of forgotten memories that are eventually erased forever. Desperate, the two try to escape on Bing Bong's wagon, which propels itself with rainbows and is fueled by song and belief. Joy and Bing Bong take care of the singing, but Riley has lost touch with her faith and imagination, and the wagon can't make it to the top. Bing Bong realizes that without his weight, the wagon will go the distance, and he sacrifices himself. This means that Riley will forget about him, but as Joy flies to freedom, he smiles because he knows Riley will grow up with the emotional health to make so many more wonderful memories.
