The thing is, yeah…. Anxiety is really excitement crossed with fear. And I did like how when anxiety takes over, it really takes over. There really are lots of Easter eggs, though, in the movie which are poking fun of stuff that GenX and Millennials grew up with. Pouchy, of course, is poking fun of Dora’s backpack. Anxiety taking over imagination land (which is what anxiety does) not only was a jab at Disney corporate but also was a call back to the 1984 book and movie and the original Super Bowl Macintosh commercial from 1984.

That and anyone complaining needs to understand that because anxiety manifests differently in everyone, trying to represent all of its iterations is going to risk making Riley's reactions feel inconsistent and still not representative because of the efforts to cover all bases, rather than doing a focused version for this character.

Only problem with its current success is that Disney is using it as an excuse to say original passion projects aren’t profitable, ignoring the fact that the reason those films did poorly was because they basically trained people to wait for their Disney+ releases and did a terrible job marketing them. Edit: I am not advocating for this film's failure. It's too amazing to deserve such a terrible fate. But maybe when Elio comes out next year, just a thought, how about we try to make that one a huge success too, you know, let Pixar know that original films can be just as profitable as sequels. I mean, sequels wouldn't exist without original films anyway.

Envy doesn't have to be a negative emotion 24/7 because it can push people to better themselves when the feeling comes up. That's kinda one of the points of inside out 1 & 2, right?

It gives me a lot of hope for the future that people like you are internalizing the idea that anxiety is trying to help!

I did a lot of research on what the new emotions purpose are and here's what I found. Envy has 2 types, malicious and benign. Benign envy is the good one and it helps you admire and set goals to yourself to achieve it. Embarassment acknowledges that you did something wrong, letting anyone know that you don't have to tell them that, and you are trying to fix it. Ennui usually promotes creativity. The disinterest makes you want to think up alternatives to avoid the dullness. No wonder we daydream a lot in a boring class.

I’m someone who experienced a lot of anxiety during my pubescent years and I just want to say that I LOVE how this movie tackles Anxiety as a character. She's an anti-Villian; she disposes of the og emotions and Riley's sense of self, believing it's what needs to be done to protect her. Anxiety doesn't need to be defeated, she needs to be stopped from her current course, managed and, really, taken care of and loved, and the movie does just that. The end scene where Joy sits Anxiety down in her massage chair and gives her some tea (anxie-tea hehe) just warms my heart. Anyway, I loved Inside Out 2, I was crying throughout the entire climax.

However, she admits the potential to be overwhelmed by stress if you don't manage it properly (with her current situation as a result since her past as a go-getter led her to never leave her house).

@@coralmaynard4876Many reasons why I love this part too. It's an step forward in Joy's character. Before then we saw Joy as the toxic positivity, but now she learned how to redirect what sound like negative emotions into good outcomes. Like the beginning hockey scene that puts the og 5 in full display of their roles. Same goes with all the other new 5 emotions. Embarrassment can be redirected into humility or flustered or even love. Envy can be redirected into ambition/be the one who sets up the goal and even push to improve Riley to reach that goal. Ennui can be redirected into relaxation. Like if Riley is ever in a state of overworking her body, Ennui can step in as a way to signal Riley "take a chill pill" or relax. Or even meditate (think nothing, do nothing, the Power of Nothingness in SF basically.) Nostalgia.. well she's just constantly kept in the cellar. But I can tell eventually, once Riley has kids or friends who ask about her past, Nostalgia is jumping in to fulfill her role. Negative Nostalgia would be always being stuck in the past after all. Nostalgia can be redirected into a bonding experience. Like say your kid suddenly wants to play a game you used to play as a kid. I just love that's how Joy treats them all.. and makes me wish Pixar makes a mini series on this to give the emotions more light or see the positive sides of them in action.

This movie made me SOB relentlessly. The Anxiety attack scene & when joy says "Maybe when we grow up we don't have room for Joy" LAWDDDDD I WAS BAWLING. That's exactly how 12-17 felt for me.

Like, viewing this from an outside perspective, Riley’s just a normal, albeit socially awkward person who’s trying too hard to look cool. All her actions still feel human, despite the fact that everything is piloted and guided by what is essentially a goofy group of misfit people in her head. With a concept like this, I feel like it’s so easy to just do dumb funny over exaggerated mood swing humor, with Riley just constantly switching between whatever emotions trying to pilot her, but no.

The new emotions all have in common that they exist as a reaction to outside social stimuli, and thus are supposed to protect her when navigating socially.

They do such a good job of ensuring that Riley’s actions are her own, and connect back to her faults from the first movie and the second one, she’s a fleshed out three dimensional character and everything she does feels like it was written to make sure it makes sense from the perspective of making like a film completely outside her head in addition to making sense as being done by the characters guiding her around.

You can see it with the five original emotions where Panic and Anger have more exaggerated designs while Sadness, Disgust and Sadness kinda just all look like normal people with different colors.

Tbh imo I like how they didnt really treated the new, seemingly negative emotions, as just negatives, keeping up with the last movie's theme. Anixiety allows you to keep mindful on the future while also making sure you dont forget things, envy at its purest form (wanting things others have to one self) helps give you ambition, embarrasmente allows you to learn from past mistakes and Ennui is helpful to disconnect from reality, and she does work as the straight man to anxiety and envy (legit if she wasnt there the chaos would had ensued faster) Also funnily enough, Ennui, Anxiety and Embarrasment would had being the perfect counter to the idea of running away. Ennui is the voice of reason and is very introspective, and would had worked a a temporary base emotion that isnt as chaotic in the meantime Joy and sadness came back, embarrasment would had made Riley think twice over how it would reflect on her, and Anxiety would catastrophise that idea 10 times over before it drops dead on the ground

In regards to what purpose the other emotions serve for Riley’s wellbeing: Envy: Ensures Riley feels welcome and a part of the friend groups she’s in (Stick with me on this, I’m gonna to come back to her) Embarrassment: Gives Riley the ability to self-reflect so that she can learn from her mistakes Ennui: Allows Riley to relax and not constantly get involved in EVERY situation presented to her 24/7 (Again, stick with me) I know a big issue people have with the new emotions is that unlike Anxiety and the originals, they don’t seem to serve a purpose. And that may largely be due to the fact that most of these new emotions (the most often brought up being Envy and Ennui) are not being represented accurately. However, I feel that these new emotions ARE represented not necessarily accurately, but in an important way nonetheless. When most people think of Envy, they think of the negative traits that come with it (jealousy, brash decisions to fit in, etc.). But for a film like Inside Out 2, it’s important to highlight the positives aspects of feeling Envious, hence why I feel that this “misrepresentation” of Envy doesn’t really hinder her character, but instead gives the audience a reason to appreciate Envy despite the negative connotations surrounding her character. The same arguments can be made for Ennui and Embarrassment, but I’ve already spoken enough about this topic and hope my point comes across. Either way, Inside Out 2 was an absolute delight for me and felt like the perfect follow up to a movie deserving of said follow up. Of course, the future of Pixar after Docter’s interview is questionable, but like Cellspex, it’s important to appreciate what’s in front of us now. And I’ve gotta say, there is certainly a lot to look forward to this year (The Wild Robot looks amazing and Arcane S2 will surely be phenomenal) All in all, IO2 has set the gold standard for what the inevitable tsunami of Pixar sequels should strive to be (imo), and while I’d love to have more original stories and less “relatable movies” going forward, I’m happy to say that IO2 was a great way to finally get myself back into the movie theater. TL;DR- Inside Out 2 is awesome, def recommend. Through all the lows, there’s a lot to look forward to. Everything will be okay, you’ve just gotta believe. Good night, Tristate Area

The film tackled a good well known trait of many grownups who are well growing up, I liked it, they kept it real while still catering to the younger audience but made it watchable for adults with its more adult themes. Fantastic film.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I really liked this movie more than the first one. It’s funny that both films pretty much have a similar setup and conclusion, but what makes Inside Out 2 more emotionally impactful for me is the execution of its story and characters. This sequel commits to a more stable balancing act between Riley’s plot and the plot with her emotions, Anger and Fear and Disgust truly feel like important members in the ensemble instead of just existing with Joy and Sadness, and I adore this movie’s message of embracing the complex and confusing emotions that we feel, but not letting them completely define us for who we are. Human emotions are extremely layered and a lot more mysterious than some would think, and I think Inside Out 2, just like its predecessor, was able to portray that in a way that’s palatable for audiences of every age to understand.

Ayo Edebiri as Envy was my favorite new addition.

I think something nice was seeing the character development. More specifically, Joy. She lets the other emotions have more control over Riley then in the first film, as a way to show her growing from her lesson. For example, letting Riley feel sad at first when going to her school. also “Will Stolas ever get a degree of self awareness ever?”

I do tend to shutdown myself if I’m too anxious, but I feel the movies interpretation of an anxiety attack from inside the mind POV is accurate in my opinion from my experiences. I once experienced having an attack after having thoughts of disappointing others and the anxiety thoughts of getting into trouble from being autistic were swirling in my head and caused my body to react by feeling like I couldn’t breath and my heart was beating in my chest. I had to lock myself away in the toilets and use meditation and breathing techniques I have learnt to get my thoughts and body back under control.

As an autistic person I agree with the final sentence. It's horrible enough to deal eith sensory sensitivities, and no one understands each other in a conversation. It's worse when every change is happening on the horizon all at once.

@@Lokear Ooh, that’s a good idea. I have always explained autism to other people as being a tourist in another country and you forgot the tourist book and language book a home, so you have to learn a completely different language and culture with no to little instructions.

I feel like having Joy being the leader and the decision maker is so important because it’s symbolic with life. No one wants to be lead in life by their anxiety or sadness or shame. No matter how old you get, you still want to get joy and happiness out of it and lead with whatever makes you happy.

Riley's mom is lead by Sadness tho

SPOILERS FOR INSIDE OUT 2 BELOW: I think the thing I love MOST about Inside Out 2 is how it sort of "deconstructs" the first movie in how it depicted the Emotions being "pilots" that literally control Riley and who she is (to an extent), without it feeling at all like it “breaks the rules/worldbuilding” established up til now; instead feeling more like a “recontextualization” of what the first film depicted, if you will. Hell, even Riley “calling out” to Joy in the end (as evidenced by Sadness saying “Riley wants you”) is another BRILLIANT recontextulization of the first movie: explaining why Sadness kept “interfering” with Joy trying to keep Riley happy in a way that she couldn't explain/understand why, heavily implying it was Riley WANTING to be sad and Sadness was just (unknowingly) acting on instinct, further implying that Joy really WAS putting her in denial (aka blind optimism); Sadness being the one to tell Joy to go to Riley in the end of Inside Out 2 is further evident of this fact IMO.

When Joy says near the end of the film “Maybe that’s just how it is. When we grow up, we just have less Joy…” HIT ME LIKE A TRUCK 😭

Maya Hawke did an AMAZING job with the voice acting

I had to warn everyone I talk to on Discord (including in a server I’m in) about there being a panic attack scene cause of how on point it is. My anxiety has gone from an emotion to a disorder (sometimes it goes back to being an emotion but that varies) and as such I can relate to Riley during hers but at the same time it’s a bit nerve wracking because again I’ve dealt with it a lot since childhood. However I do appreciate the realistic depiction of it as it shows the staff once again did their homework with this. I also like how Riley’s friends went to help her on it. Reminds me of when my friends, family and even complete strangers would help me calm down from mine own. And I’m serious on the last one. Like I had a breakdown in front of Lisa Ortiz because my day at the con was going awful and she quickly got up from behind her table to go over to me to help calm me down. She didn’t leave my side till I assured her that I was ok again. We really need more people like her in the world.

Agree this and Toy Story 2, and Toy Story 3 not Toy Story 4 are consider to me the best Pixar Sequels they have done for first films for Inside Out and Toy Story.

I love that Joy retained her lesson from the first movie. So many sequels have the main character revert to square one but Joy starts the movie hearing anxiety out and letting her have access to the console, which she never would’ve done in the first movie.

i also love the detail towards the end where all the bad memories made it's way into the beliefs, showing that all our bad memories are all part of who we are as a person and we shouldn't push them all back

I really love that in the end, anxiety doesn't really touch the console, but not in the same way sadness was rarely allowed to at the beginning of the first movie. They get her input and then pass it along to Riley FOR her. That's a really neat way to explain that anxiety has a purpose but is more better filtered through an extra layer of rationale

I love how relatably anxious you got at the tail end of your video before asking us what we thought about it, which came across to me as "And now here's the thematic part of the video where Cellspex shows her anxiety"😅

The scene with the imagination fueling anxiety really hit home. I have honestly too good of an imagination and boy howdy does it fuel my anxiety!

I reeeally loved Anxiety's characterisation in this movie. When she hears that her efforts have led to Riley's new belief "I'm not good enough" she looks so shocked and confused, because that's not what she wanted at all! She just wanted to protect her! It's such a wonderful way of understanding anxiety (which in itself is an emotion, not a disorder) but also the possible consequences of it taking over.

I really like that aspect too because it shows that anxiety serves a function and wants the best, but cannot do good without being balanced with other emotions/ being questioned. Anxiety is deeply terrified of failure to the point where it becomes detrimental, setting up high expectations that if you hinge your self worth on will result in self doubt.

inside out has always been an important movie to people who have DID/OSDD/etc, with the emotions being able to be read as alters. inside out 2 interestingly enough is both less and more plural depending on how you read it. the sense of self was really interesting because as a system we don't just have one of those, we have many. on the other hand, the emotions were even more like alters this time around, with anxiety in particular acting like a persecutor. a persecutor is an alter who hurts the rest of the system, and they're often depicted as monstrous, but most often they are like anxiety is in this film, well meaning. this film being able to be read as either a plural or singlet experience is great because it shows off the fact that the behavior of a persecutor in a system is equivalent to self destructive behavior in a singlet, not them just being evil or something. so yeah, we really really liked this movie!

Ooo I'm early so here are my thoughts! I thought Inside Out 2 was surprisingly a great film considering the recent trend of Pixar and Disney films not living up to the standards their films once were. I am hopeful that Disney and Pixar can revive their legacy again and also Anxiety is me IRL

@ShockwaveFPSStudios

I just hope the success of the film would changed Pixar’s mind. As for reviving their legacy? Don’t get you your fingers cross. Since everyone felt disappointed at DreamWorks after releasing mid or bad movies after Puss in Boots 2… I really think everyone should stop putting their expectations too high.

I thought the saying was: “We can’t change the past, but we can change the future.”

Anxiety just needs to watch Kung Fu Panda. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift, and that is why it’s called the present

(I’m paraphrasing) “I don’t know how to stop Anxiety. Maybe you can’t. Maybe as you get older, you feel less joy” hit me *HARD*

7:47 my headcanon for the purpose of the other new emotions is Envy- Helping riley be her best self, she can possibly be in any possible scenario Embarrassment- Making Riley know her limits in certain social situations Ennui- keeps Riley away from obsessing over things that aren't worth the time of energy

While I agree about Envy and Ennui kind of just... Being there and, while occasionaly ocntributing to the narrative, generally don't and are not really shown the purpose they serve for Riley... I do not think the same can be said for embarrassment. I think he had both purpose in the story and a contributor to riley's brain in negating negative behavior and putting a stop to it.

The new emotions were a riot to watch, especially with how well the film handled Anxiety. I love how it portrayed the orange muppet as a well-intentioned extremist that wanted to help Riley the best she could, only to eventually realize the error of her ways and work together with Joy's crew. The only major thing that held this movie back for me was how they recycled several plot points from its predecessor. This includes some circumstance causing Joy and at least one other emotion to exit the control room, returning a MacGuffin back to said control room, Riley distancing herself from loved ones and making poor choices before reconciling with those closest to her, and Joy/Anxiety learning to accept help from emotions they believed were causing trouble. But outside of that one major issue, I thought the movie was fun and succeeded in discussing its themes.

The Inside Out movies and especially this one are so great because it appeals to literally everyone, from kids to adults. I’d argue adults would get even more out of them because of their complex narrative about mind systematics that would fly over most kids’ heads. They’re things that are more appreciated as we grow up, and from the way they have told Riley’s stories so far they’re going to be timeless classics easily.

6:30 Mappa has been real quiet since you said that.

Spoilers: My only problem with the movies that it still had joy and the emotion working on the console one at a time. working by herself and undermined anxiety. Like anxiety can be useful when use effectively. It’s good to be prepared, but too much of everything can lead to disaster. Like having joy and anxiety work on the console at the same time together for Rylie’s hockey game. Because she can be anticipating the worst, but also having fun.

I still like how Fear tells Anxiety that they’ll get along great.

This movie hit just as deeply as (if not more than) the original for me. As someone who struggles with feeling not good enough constantly, to the point that it sabotages my joy in things that I normally enjoy, this movie came for me personally. The whole climax from "I'm not good enough" to her sense of self evolving absolutely destroyed me. It got that aspect of it SO right. It hurt so good.

I felt that Anxiety's arc was very similar to Joy's. Anxiety has to learn that she doesn't have to control everything for Riley to have a good life. Joy felt that she was the good emotion and did a lot of the same things Anxiety did. Joy was the driver the whole time, and while Anger, Fear, Disgust and Sadness all had their moments they all were pushed away when the threat was resolved. Anxiety suppresses the OG emotions just like Joy suppresses Sadness.

SPOILER ALERT: 🚨 The scene where Riley calls to Joy is now becoming one of my all-time favorite Pixar moments. It was such a beautiful surprise, we always saw Riley’s emotions controlling her actions, but we’ve never seen Riley herself consciously call to her emotions, culminating in the movie’s themes of self-awareness. It perfectly illustrates what was going on inside my head watching this scene. Joy is right there with Woody as my favorite Pixar character, and to see her have that moment with Riley brought me to tears. Mirroring the beginning of the first movie, it’s a brilliant depiction of how much Riley has matured as a person and how far Joy has progressed as a character. Pixar doesn’t always treat their other franchises in the way they probably should, but it seems they really care about this one, Inside Out just feels so genuine. I was immensely satisfied with the sequel, it truly felt like a continuation of the first one rather than just a simple rehash. I can totally see myself watching 1 & 2 back-to-back as one movie.

I honestly found the original emotions more likable than in the past movie. With joy snapping, the other emotions comforting her, and joy clearly showing growth with how she treats sadness, it feels like they have a lot more depth.

My favorite moment was at the end when Anxiety was frozen at the consoul and Joy told her it was okay to let go. That's what anxiety does to me, freezes me in place, and when Riley was 'calling' to Joy, wanting her to take hold while she was skating. Oh, that got me in the feeeels...

inside out brought people back to cinemas. I unironically have not seen a full cinema room in my country in years! I didnt even like the first one that much, I watched it once and forgot about it quickly, but I was really excited to watch this one.

as someone who suffer the latter of anxiety of shutting down when it happens this was a pretty good depiction of this emotion and how it can really mess with you an pop up in the worst possible times

Growing up, inside out was my FAVOURITE MOVIE, so given Disney's recent track record, i was very VERY scared it was gonna be a flop. I am honestly so relieved it wasn't.

Inside Out 2 is an example on how Disney should strive to be instead of how Disney is being today Whether it's the times changing at least they have passion

I'm glad it's pretty good, and doing well... though I worry this'll be another example of companies learning all the wrong lessons. Outperforming Lightyear and Wish in the span of a weekend is vindicating, as someone who was let down by both... but I have a funny feeling they're going to look at that and say "Yeah, we're right to focus on mascots and sequels. That's all that can work" Instead of, y'know, "Maybe we could try making our stand-alone movies not be mediocre."

To be honest, I’m quite pessimistic about the future myself, and Anxiety is honestly me sometimes with overanalyzing things. 😅 The ‘sense of self’ and the belief system were *excellent* concepts as well. ❤

Really hoping against hope that Disney doesn't treat its financial success as evidence there needs to be more sequels

The amount of tears I shed in this movie could fill a water fountain. I’ve struggled with severe anxiety for a huge chunk of my life and related heavily to some of the stuff like it taking over the imagination and keeping you up on the what if’s, the panic attacks, and the feeling of not being good enough despite all your efforts. I think the message of anxiety and the regrettable memories being as much apart of who you are because you are human was beautiful

The message reminded me of the Ned's Declassified episode on Stress when iTeacher tells Moze "A little stress can be a good thing. It's like an alarm in your head that tells when to make changes."

This movie is so good. I'm glad it's doing so well in theaters. I loved the new mental concepts that were explored here and how, thanks to Anxiety, Riley's new sense of self was a literal bundle of nerves.

Absolutely loved this one!

I didn’t cry during the first film (I know shocker) but I sobbed so hard during this film bc it something I DESPERATELY needed as a now 20 year old dealing with anxiety and self love.

I loved Inside Out 2. I feel like it expertly built upon the concepts introduced in the first film, introducing new emotions as you age and grow up, creating a belief system (worldview) and a sense of self/identity from your core memories, and representing maturity as an acceptance and balance of the new emotions with the old. I also love how it depicted a Panic Attack as Anxiety trying to take the reigns and get Riley to do 'something', but not quite knowing 'what' to do, causing the emotion and thus Riley to pause and shutdown. I'm also glad that Anxiety wasn't depicted as 'Evil'. It's not. It's an emotion just like any other emotion and serves a purpose for helping Riley but often does more negative for a person if left unchecked, which we see in the movie. As for the people saying "That's not how my anxiety work!". Yeah because Riley was able to grow and mature in a matter of 3 days for the sake of the movie... and because she's a relatively well-adjusted person living a good average life with checks and balances on her emotions. I mean, Anxiety literally tried to "suppress" all the old emotions because they were getting in the way. Anxiety even joked about releasing them when Riley is 18 or Never, because Anxiety can easily take someone over. That's what happened to the people complaining. Your Anxiety suppressed your other emotions and took over, locking them out for a long time, (perhaps even still suppressing them to this day). Riley was able to overcome that new emotion. In fact, I REALLY want to emphasize the ending of the movie. It's not just about having a complete, well-rounded sense of self. It's also about an acceptance and balance of all the emotions a person can experience with the life they've lived. THAT'S Maturity. And it usually takes years for people to develop which is why Adolescence and Puberty is such a pain for people, because their sense of self is changing, new emotions are getting in the way, they're learning and growing and adapting, being pushed into society, talking about their future, etc. It usually takes more than 3 days for a person to accept their anxiety and new emotions. Some people never quite accomplish it.

The fact that Disney have the greenlight to the imagination scene that is very good comparison to how Disney treats its animators is incredible! Never expected them let that joke pass. Now if only Warner Bros and HBO could have that humility to them when it came to Coyote vs ACME.

You singing overwhelmed was something I've never knew i needed

6:54 It helps that the jokes with the character last just long enough to be funny without overstaying their welcome. The varied reactions from other characters also adds to the joke, and is reflective of how some people look back on those kind of shows fondly and others with annoyance.

Nice to see you back on it!

As someone going through my own mental health struggles right now where anxiety has been the predominant overwhelming manifestation, I related so much to this movie... so much so that I was on the verge of tears or outright sobbing the last 20 minutes. I then spent the majority of the next session with my psychologist talking about it. Inside Out 2 has helped me take a step back and look at my anxiety in a new way. Before, I was unable to see anything positive in or any purpose to its existence . Now I am beginning to understand what it is trying to tell me. It has become something so profound and I am so utterly grateful to Pixar for making it. Thank you.

The anxiety scene made me cry my eyes out like a gasket as my heart raced. I struggle with suppressing emotions which became a thing in my early teens. But seeing this movie in my late teens made me question whether the premise would apply to me or not because of the huge gap of time between the first and second films and me not being thirteen anymore. But it was very good at conveying the panic attack scene, especially for me who struggles with anxiety and panic attacks. Normally movies don't make me cry, but next to Soul and UP, this one had me fighting back tears because of how much I related to Riley and her experiences. Especially concerning suppressing your emotions and the literal avalanche that comes along with that which I experienced earlier this year. My mom held my hand during the last few scenes which honestly just made it all the more impactful because this is a film not only for kids or teens but also for adults and it's truly amazing how people of all ages can come together and relate to and learn the different emotions and how it affects a person especially during their teenage years. Nice job Pixar, the bar was kinda low but you raised it.

Glad you found the film enjoyable! 😁 I personally thought it was even BETTER than Inside-out 1! Something I really enjoyed is the subtext that none of the emotions are objectively bad. Envy for instance inspires Riley to emulate qualities she finds desirable in others. The problem is when one emotion dominates the others as seen with Joy in 1 and Anxiety in 2.

I would like to point out that Envy does not always mean Resentment. Envy is more if a childish emotion, looking up to older people as the goal to strive for. Children often look at others and go “mommy i want that can i have it”. Resentment is more like jealousy.

I just think it’s so cool how they managed to properly represent the ongoing maturity that happens in our minds, like as you grow up everything becomes a lot more complex and everything becomes less broad

This movie is by far Pixar's best sequel in quite a long time. I love the way this movie just keeps on expanding the ongoing world building inside Riley's head, and on top of that, this movie honestly is better at making Riley her own character rather than the puppet of the emotions. The best part is that the emotions doesn't really fall into the same trap in the first movie as can be seen from the "broken" control scene, Anxiety had a legit reason to take over the controls because Riley's future is basically uncertain and they needed plans, Joy wanting to enjoy all the good memories for now ends up kinda blindsiding her from the future. It's a very enjoyable watch for me.

I don't think they needed that many new emotions... Add one or two and then show how they can MAKE complex emotions by working together.

Inside Out 2 is a phenomenal Pixar sequel that is just as emotional as Inside Out with Anxiety involved!

6:41 I'm just wondering how many people actually said, "Oh, Pouchy," out loud in the theater.

Loved the end and very happy to get your thoughts on this thank you again for the vid

I'm not very sure most people differentiate between being anxious vs having an attack vs having serious anxiety disorder. Riley has seemingly been experiencing a temporary anxiety episode due to the stress and all the sudden changes to her life. This only happened for like a couple days in the story, though. Of course this is not going to represent everyone's experiences with anxiety, especially not the chronic type of issues that can take people to much darker place and beat them down over time, etc. Riley's story seems more like what could happen if someone in risk of developing chronic anxiety is able to recover due to healthy uprigning and ongoing help from their table support system.

It really bothers me that Envy, Embarrassment, and Ennui have little to no purpose. In the first film, each emotion has a stated purpose for how they protect Riley, but there's also the message that your emotions will insist on being felt or otherwise become dysfunctional. We see how Joy has come to respect Sadness, but also the other emotions too, which we see with the belief pool being full of different colour memories, different emotional memories. But the new emotions never seem to assert themselves. Sure, they'll touch the control panel every now and then, but they had no interest whatsoever in being part of Riley's sense of self; only Anxiety had that same insistence to be felt. It just made Envy, Embarrassment, and Ennui feel like subordinate emotions to Anxiety. And sure, there's an argument that can be made about that, but one could also argue that Anxiety is just reflective Disgust, so why wouldn't Anxiety be subordinate to Disgust?

10:05 Honestly, I’m actually kind of happy to see Disney taking a chance on fresh young talent. Upon doing some research into them, it seems like they’re pretty much musical prodigies and they’ve already got a Grammy win under their belt. I've got faith in them.

Before I watched the movie, I assumed Envy was going to work as a Joy substitute: The only semblance of Joy Riley would have when starting puberty was wanting to be more like other people.

Thank you for your review and keeping it pretty spoiler free, totally agree on your points about the Eiger element and even Disney as a whole, without going full on the tangent.

I honestly get why they went the route they did with Anxiety. Just like how the first movie wanted to portray the good and bad of sadness this movie wanted to portray the good and bad of anxiety. Thomas Sanders once made a video about it, no anxiety is also a bad thing.

I love the Movie, I like the Character and their Voices, The Jokes, The Slight Jab at Disney's treatment of Animators to the Way, The Anxiety Attack was treated Maturely and Respectful (As far as Knowledge go, I'm not a Doctor), and just how Wholesome, It was, I felt like watching the First Inside Out in Theaters, All over again.
