Who is Bing Bong? What does he mean?

March 13, 2016 Full Cup Play Therapy (Rachel)

So who really is Bing Bong? What does he represent? And what really happened to him (sob!)?

The official line is that he's an imaginary friend, but he can most certainly mean different things to different people. Here is a unique fan theory. He didn't die.

Inside Out for Oscar win! A Play Therapist's plea to the Oscar panel

N.B. I am not in any way affiliated with Pixar. This comes from my playful heart!
