"Inside Out" Without the Inside Scenes Will Still Turn You Into a Ball of Tears

Never grow up, Riley!

Here's a cut of Inside Out without the emotion characters and the scenes inside Riley's head and guess what? It still had me crying like a baby. Is it the music? Is it the adorable baby animation? Please watch and tell me why I started tearing up at the first note. Is it normal or should I seek professional help? Standing by.
