Every Easter Egg You Missed in Pixar's INSIDE OUT 2 

I am a pediatric psychologist and myself, along with my colleagues, adore Inside Out and often utilize it in therapy with clients to help explain emotions. Inside Out 2 was just as impactful. I particularly loved the moments as Riley is calming/recovering from the anxiety attack. One coping skill we teach is using your 5 senses to ground yourself to your physical reality when you are having an anxiety attack. When Riley is calming, the animators focus on the feel of her hand on the bench, the sound of the hockey puck on the ice, her eyes as she looks up for the first time. What a lovely and accurate representation of grounding oneself!

I love how Riley’s friend’s emotions quite literally spilled “the tea” on the console to reveal they weren’t going to the same school. It’s such a little thing but I loved it.

I took my autistic stepdaughter to see this earlier today and was NOT disappointed. She told me it made her feel more human, to know she’s not the only person whose emotions can be all over the place. Love you Bailie. ❤️

•I loved the bunk beds/sleeping zone. •This how you do a sequel, expand but stay true to core. •Anxiety attack was peak cinema

When Joy says she doesn’t know how to stop Anxiety, the end made sense to me. She told Anxiety to “let go” and at the end when Riley is calling for Joy it’s as if Riley was choosing to be happy. Hence, letting go and choosing to be happy is the way to calm anxiousness. I loved every second of this movie and cried so hard lol

My 4 year old autistic son is OBSESSED with marbles and marble runs and really liked how i can explain emotions with marbles Blue marbles make sad moments Yellow marbles make happy moments He now uses marbles to describe emotions Dad recently had a tough surgery and i told my son he isnt feeling good He responded "dada has a lot of blue marbles?"

Friendship island being bigger than family island is also a reference to how in puberty kids (or well teens) stop looking for confirmation, help, advice and connection in their parents/family, but with their peer group (also because of wanting to fit in & finding yourself).

When anxiety said "I just wanted to protect her" That's when I felt a tear on my face. Because that is essentially anxieties job. They're completely correct with their introduction, they protect us from things we cannot see. But like the first movie, it shows too much of any emotion can be a bad thing. In the first movie it was too much joy, and now it's too much anxiety. Which I think is a very clever theme.

Pouchie was definitely a mostly spoof from Mickey Mouse clubhouse, not necessarily backpack from Dora. In that show they say “oh toodles” in the same exact mannerism that they say “oh pouchie” in this movie. And toodles would always give a couple options of tools to help them along, one of which being the obvious choice

I love the concept that we are not defined by our emotions, but rather use them to express our core beliefs and self.

I really love this entire movie, but I think one of the most powerful moments to me was how Riley’s imagination changed. When she was a kid, she used her imagination for all of these fun impossibilities and wild ideas but in this film, it was hijacked by anxiety to imagine all of the worst case scenarios. This felt so incredibly relatable. When you’re a kid, all you’re thinking about are the good things, the fun things, the silly things but as an adult, a lot of your imagination is used to think about more grounded events and scenarios showing that as we grow up, we often have less ability to use our imagination for those fun things because it’s so busy thinking of all these complex possibilities of our lives.

inside out 2 was such an amazing movie. i think my favourite part was weirdly the anxiety attack - purely because it was portrayed SO SO WELL! it felt so real and honestly made me quite emotional too. and as someone with an anxiety disorder and autism i found myself relating to anxiety SO MUCH lol.. its like seeing everything you feel but can never put into words served right in front of your eyes and i love that. the power of animation and storytelling right there. every soul behind this movie deserves an applause

I a diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and I thought this movie was a great representation of anxiety and what it does to you, along with other emotions. I really like how it shows that anxiety always just wants to help you, put ends up pushing away your other emotions and making things worse as you continue spiraling down. Also the constant restlessness and just awkward feeling really does it for me. Great job

Dude I love your enthusiasm, and the first movie also meant a lot to me. I was going through depression and the first movie made me realise how important and healthy Sadness is: for a couple of years, if only I allowed myself to cry and have a good talk with my friends and family (instead of pretending that everything was fine) I would have never had depression to begin with. It is more than OK to be sad. Sadness helps you cope with the pressure of life and ultimately, it helps you stay mentally healthy and happy. It’s when you have no emotions left that you should be worried (bc that’s what depression is)

I work at a movie theater, so my boyfriend and I got to watch it Wednesday night. I think this film is honestly better than the first one, and I thought it was so funny and heartfelt. This is genuinely one of my favorite films of recent times.

The vault scenes ,and Character had me crying of laughter, i loved how the sword dude just rolled away after trapping the guards ,and how dumb pouchy's bag choices were.

I saw this movie with my son today..never paid attention to the first movie..i got the gist of the movie in the beginning and the lesson at the end hit me in the gut..i shed so many tears this was such a powerful movie. Never would have thought a kids movie would hit me this hard

Super cool to see Erik getting the attention he deserves. I'm happy to see how New Rockstars started and where their are now. I'm usually on here for Marvel content but I find myself watching anything Erik comes out with because he's so good at what he does. I really enjoy this channel and hope Erik keeps on getting the recognition he deserves and hopefully produces films in the future. I'll be looking forward to it!!!!

While watching the movie yesterday I was hoping and waiting for a moment where they would mention Bing Bong. Just a small moment to remember his sacrifice. I really wanted Joy to mention Bing Bong to Sadness since they were the only 2 who remembered Bing Bong. Unfortunately we didn’t get that though. However I’m still glad Joy remembers him by having that origami figurine and his rocket on her shelf in the bedroom scene.

I might have peed my pants a little when Anger called for pouchy, from laughing so hard. Absolutely love this movie. Anxiety was perfectly portrayed! A great emotional roller coaster of a movie!

6:42 that is not a hair net IT IS A BONNET!

I just saw Inside Out 2 today. I was speechless. It’s simply amazing. I did cry towards the end. Overall I feel more confident in myself. This movie shows that you can be anyone you want. Great video! ❤

“So Bing Bong is gone, right?” “Yep” “Gone but never forgotten.” Uhhh, yeah he literally is

Anxiety is my main pilot. Growing up with ADHD it's hilarious how many people think we're jack's of all trades, but everything we've had to learn felt like a life or death situation. It's paradoxical and the dances with hyperfocus are great for escapism, but it's all because the fear of "what if?"

I think you missed when they’re in imagination land again and find the secret anxiety camp place on one of the screens it shows the “distracted boyfriend” meme

I feel like "pouchie" was more like "Toodles" from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

6:55 anger is actually fighting his nightmares

The first Inside Out is my favorite movie of all time. The sequel lives up to the first. And this recap is fantastic!

I loved how the bad emotions flooded into the pool, Showing how All of our feelings make us who we are.❤

anxiety looking like gollum lol

12:13 not him doing a high voice😂😂😂

Why are you making me cry at the end man, I didn’t even cry that much during the movie

I just want to hug Erik now, so precious

On 20:00 during this scene a mind worker drives by and screams, "That's a Sar-chasm. It can open for miles." This is Jake, a mind worker who was a cop in the last film. He is played by the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea.

That’s so cool that your wife worked on the film! What did she do? I really appreciate this breakdown of this amazing film! Your love and care for film and how you cover it is beautiful Eric! I’ve never felt so known by a film before. As someone who has PTSD and has struggled with anxiety attacks and panic attacks more frequently since the world changed in 2020 this film is very cathartic for me. I was sobbing in the theater when Riley’s new sense of self echoed “I’m not good enough” through her mind. Hearing you talking about what Joy says after in that scene even has me tearing up watching this breakdown. The portrayal of Riley’s anxiety attack was so real and I loved when all the emotions hugged together over the core belief structure. She was able to feel all her emotions at once and lean into her senses to ground herself with the sound of the skates and temperature of the ring etc. She allowed herself to feel her emotions and then grounded herself to let them pass. This is something that has taken me years to learn as an adult so I am overjoyed that they depicted this in the film so well for younger audiences to learn how to feel and cope. LOVE THIS FILM!!! Thank your wife from me and mine!

I legit cried in this movie... My 6 year old was like Mommy is this too emotional for you 😭😭😭

“My wife Kelly worked on this film for 2.5 years and our son is listed as one of the production babies in the credits.” That’s so cool!!! ❤

Can't wait for Inside Out 3 & 4 to explain university years and my 20's -- because none of it made sense!

I really liked the introduction of belief systems that form our sense of self. Interesting to hear that it came Kate in the development of the movie!

We went Thursday night and I was stunned at how deep this went. I mean I liked the first one but this, this story about anxiety taking over your life and changing who you are...we walked out just blown away at how insanely sophisticated it was without ever being too much for kids. Such a good movie and one I will keep with me every time I start to spiral.

Inside out 2 might be the movie of the summer for me. It was a treat to watch it and had a great time watching it

2015?!! It’s been 9 years since the first one come out!!? God I feel old

I was so scared Bing Bong would return, I am so glad he didn't, but that also Joy hasn't forgotten him, and that interview section makes me feel a thousand times more respect for the artistic integrity of this movie than I did before, it's such a good feeling

I watched this sitting next to me 15 year old son. He was mostly talking to his friends and not paying much attention, but I kept giving him looks like “how do you not see yourself in this!!!?” 😂

I loved the first movie and I was afraid of being let down, but I was worried for nothing. This sequel was perfect and d builds on all the great lessons of the original. As a father of a pre-teen, this was great insight!

7:05 Nice to see an Easter egg with Bing Bong. Seeing Joy with a Bing Bing action figure is wholesome.

I can really relate to what you experienced. Back then when this movie was released, I was going through some difficult transitions in my life. This movie enabled me to express some of my unexpressed emotions and live through another day...day by day. Thank you for this.

I went to go see this movie yesterday. This movie felt so deep. Thinking about how anxiety runs people’s lives.

I watched it with my sister yesterday and we were legit suppressing our laughter inside the cinema when the belief system was introduced because I said "hey this is also a representation of where our delulus are built" LMAO. And I started thinking about things when sometimes I feel like an *sshole or a douchebag and thank goodness it didnt solidified as part of my belief system....or did it, LOL

YES! Congrats to your fam being part of this masterpiece

21:25 Also there was a screen where it’s recreated the boyfriend caught meme.

How perfect i just watch this movie

Great story and self reflection at the end

Wow Erik, what a touching video. We haven’t seen the movie yet, but the way you analyze it has brought me to tears. Thank you for the care you take with this channel.

That was quick Mr. Eric... This franchise has supported people through their darkest phases. Love them with all my heart.

6:29 The pizza planet Truck cameo is here

inside out 2 was such a good movie

This breakdown felt so personal! Thanks Eric for sharing your story, I think that's what makes you and the channel stand out. Let me share mine. I had only heard of this channel, mostly negative - hyper theories or clickbaits. So never really checked it out but one day stumbled upon a video and I liked it. I am not a fan of theories and rumour videos but I love watching Breakdowns by Eric because he adds so much of himself in it. It's more than the easter eggs and references. I love his analysis of the story, what it's trying to say, how filmmaking was used to drive the point, the philosophy behind it. I love all that which is unique to the channel and him. Keep doing it ❤

I really like the speech that the director gave about the second movie and what not to do and what you do.

That Anxiety freeze scene is one most brilliant, intense and heart breaking moments

Anxiety can be difficult to control

after sseing the movie i think maya hawk did a amazing job as anxiety along with everyone else

The German character being “ happiness at the misfortune of others” is wild. 😂😮

My thought process for the bad/embarrassing memories being part of Riley's personality/sense of self in the end was that we need to have bad experiences and make mistakes to become the person we are and to truly grow.

I just love of both of the films relate to our lives and what we went through, now that's the Pixar magic, those magical moments

i still soo connect with this movies damn it makes me cry like every single time..

I love how the railings in the headquarters are in the shape of double helix’s(DNA)

I need that ANXI TEA that Anxiety sips to stop hyperventilating.

2 excellent films and another great breakdown from Eric and the New Rockstars team! Thanks for the great content. I’d love to get a Deep Dive episode on the first Inside Out

fun fact: in inside out 2 the fog horns team logo is Q*bert from the arcade game in 1982

2:24 that small toy story reference

I just saw the movie yesterday. I noticed the Utah teapot in the background at one point. I love the they include things from the the history of computer graphics in their movies.

Beautiful story... I loved every part of the movie and was invested all along. Cried laughed n my heart was warm at the end. Thank u pixar!

jesus how fast do these breakdowns come out now

This movie was fantastic I have ocd and anxiety was such an amazing example of my ocd of thinking what if. And in life we need the emotion joy to balance back. To new #rockstars Eric Vass congrats on ur son and ur beautiful family. Tell ur wife we are happy for what she worked part of this amazing movie.

I love this film sm bcs it's v meaningful and impactful (yes I cried, no I'm not sorry) but also has hilarious puns like the sar-chasm and the brain storm

Any athlete that went to camps like this at that age will tell you how accurate this is. Especially those that took pride in working harder than the other kids.

By the end of the video, when you were talking about your experience with the first film, and how it taught you crying is good, you legitimately made me cry too.

Looooved this! Especially the ending ~ thanks for sharing your family’s origin story 🥰

I was hoping you guys would break this down!!!❤

I haven’t even watched the movie yet but here I am 😂

I just saw this movie a couple of hours ago in theaters, I had a fun and amazing time with INSIDE OUT 2!!!!! This might have topped the first INSIDE OUT movie, but that’s my opinion!!!

😊 thanks Eric for the review. I wanted to let you know that all of your reviews are great and I enjoy them a lot but when when come across a review that touches you as deeply as inside out does and you give a little bit of yourself to us in the review to let us know why this, made you happy and you enjoyed it. It makes it that much more endearing. So with that thank you again for the review. Hope everybody is healthy and fine in the family and I will catch you on the next preview bye buddy 😊

I loved the inclusion of the anxiety attack because that’s something I have to deal with, and I got my first anxiety attack back in 8th grade (not too long ago) so I know exactly what it felt like for Riley and the scene blew me away! Seriously loved it so much :)

Thank you for sharing your experience. Glad you are doing so great now. If we fell less joy growing up... you are one of the most important sources of MY JOY now that I'm almost 50. Your genuine enthusiasm makes me feel like a kid with all that movie and TV stuff we like to nerd about. Thanks again, congrats to your wife, and keep the good work!! 🐻

I have a family member who has anxiety attacks that become seizures. When I watched Rileys panic attack at the end of the movie I was solving thinking of my family member and how their battle with stress causes so much physical damage. We are past "it's all in your head" culture, mental health is important

i love that little anecdote at the end, great touch

If they make an Inside Out 3, I'd love to see them explore really complex and hard to describe emotions, like Grief; imo, Grief is much deeper than regular Sadness because while sometimes we need to be sad and have a good cry and everything is good now, Grief can linger for days, weeks, months or even years at a time. How do you go through your life battling Grief? How do you even fight it? Will it lead to other emotions, like Depression and Worthlessness taking over? If not careful, the story could get very dark but I would love to see how the Core Emotions deal with the really complicated emotions.

Tell your wife I love what they do inside out 2 and the adult humor. I hope we get an inside out 3

Dude your story is amazing. Thanks for sharing and your take on the movie as well as all the Easter eggs. Congrats to the Pixar team for hitting it out of the park with this one. I hope the deep artistry and storytelling lessons from this expands to the wider Disney culture.

Thank you SO much for making this! Not only for the fun parts but for sharing your personal story. Thank you for being vulnerable and leaving a piece of you here, normalizing the permission and need to experience all of the emotions as well as crying. It's sooo wild how you ended up finding your wife, a part of the inside out 2 team! Wow! This video was insightful and meaningful!

Amazing breakdown! I didn't even know about the easter eggs and I will find them NEXT TIME I watch Inside Out 2!!!

Great movie! I mean, Really great movie! Anxiety takes the spotlight and big props to Maya Hawke. Your parents must be feeling great happiness to your accomplishments!!!

19:48 this is my favorite running gag in pixar 😭

i clicked thinking this was another generic easter egg list video, soon realized how close you are to pixar and was grateful for the insider commentary, then i ended the video in tears. subscribed!!

I watched this today, and oh my god , my own heart was pounding in the panic attack scene, I was wondering how many emotions I have buried under , how many self beliefs I have made over the years , I am 33 😅, I thought of writing down all my emotions , but I guess my laziness tops it, but I will write down for myself, this movie is one of the best cinema I have watched ❤, and thank god I watched it in a theater where several different peoples were laughing and crying at the same time , This way cinema and art is made for, to make us feel something, to Look inside our emotions and to keep a check on them, anxiety, embracement have place a huge role and sometime they have destroyed lots of good memories but they also help us to make good decisions in life ❤

You were the perfect person to explain inside out 2 movie because you had the "inside" information😅

A few things about these movies I have to share. My youngest was in therapy and after the movie we discussed what his islands were. Just like all emotions are the same core group his islands were not typical like he had like a whole island devoted to certain bad behavior etc. We talked about what it would take to knock down or replace those and helped us set goals which he most definitely did. The parents in my theater openly cried out and began to loudly weep when goofy island fell like it was a horror drama (which any parent can tell you that one HURT). All the kids were comforting us but were kind of shocked by the islands falling too. Also my best friend had every island he had bulldozed over the course of one year. It can happe. To adults too when too many losses shake you to your core and years later we are still dealing with rebuilding. It's important to be kind to others because we don't know how shaken they are inside just walking around with a big grey chunk of a console. Which made the anxiety attack scene just ______ idk. Wow. So hard to watch but so helpful in empathizing in a clear way. I hope these films become required watching for therapist for ppl of all ages. An aside my friend watched pt 1 with his group and discussed for a series of sessions and it helped them all alot.

This is such a great, fun video to watch! Great work!!!
