A father has called on Disney to recall a talking doll from its latest movie Inside Out after accusing the toy of expressing "suicidal thoughts".<br />Worried Andrew Smith, 34, bought the talking doll - named Sadness - for his 11-year-old daughter Regan at a Disney store.<br />The #15.95 toy is part of a collection of five characters from the new animated film, which will hit cinemas across the UK today (Fri) after going down a storm in the US.<br />But Andrew was shocked when he overheard the doll voicing "suicidal comments" when his daughter pressed its right hand.<br />Sadness says phrases like: "Crying makes me slow down and obsess over the weight of life's problems."<br />"I'm in an emotional slump - my legs don't work. Give me an hour."<br />"Goodbye friendship, hello loneliness."<br />Psychology student Andrew branded the phrases as "toxic" and called on Disney to recall the toy from sale.<br />The dad-of-two said: "I wasn't terribly keen on her buying a doll called Sadness having spent the last year at uni doing psychology.<br />"I didn't think it was a terribly good idea for mental well-being but then I thought because it was Disney, 'what's the harm?'<br />"It turned out I was very very wrong.<br />"When we turned the doll on, it had some very generic phrases but also some absolutely crazy messages for young children.<br />"The doll speaks in a very slow, depressed, melancholic tone and myself and my partner sat listening to it and we thought 'that's heavy, even for a an adult'.<br />"I tried to contact Disney who just said the movie is not out yet and maybe the movie will put it in context.
