Inside Out 2 Is Amazing! (But I'll Probably Never Watch It Again) 

Honestly, the fact that they managed to introduce: 4 new emotions, Reily's 2 friends, the 3 cool highschool girls, the coach, 3 bingbong-esk characters, and pouchy, and the movie STILL didn't feel like anything was left out was crazy to me. I mean, Envy and Ennui were a liiiitttle underused...but that's kind of the point I think. Reily isn't that envious. People around that age don't get that bored either. Also...$295 million opening weekend. Only beat by incredibles 2. Absolutely insane.

I feel like Inside Out 2 was more relatable but inside out had more emotional scenes that hit

I cringed so hard while watching Inside Out 2 but it was the GOOD cringe because I did the exact same shit as a kid that Riley was doing and I felt so called out. It's the perfect companion piece to the original Inside Out and I won't even lie, if they decide they want to make I03 then I'm all for it.

The line that hit hardest was when Joy said something like “Maybe that’s what happens when you grow up. You feel less joy.”

Honestly, I consider Inside Out 2 my comfort film because I'm currently 14

it was really goofy at times like the first one, then it got too fkn real

I am really glad that it showed how anxiety can be really consuming. Thanks to the 'tism, my anxiety has been pretty bad since I was about 8 and has only gotten worse as I've become a teenager. When it showed anxiety essentially "spiralling" I could feel that in my core. My own anxiety started to rise when watching it lol. I hope Lance does return though. Him and Disgust have a really fun dynamic

Inside out 2 by far is the first good Pixar film probably in the 2020s since maybe Luca. It was amazing and felt like the first one but even better in some elements. The only downside is that it felt extremely short even though it had the same length, time flies when you are having fun I guess. I hope we get more inside out films

I also think it works with the target age audience. The kids who watched the first one have either gone through or ate going through their teeanage years.

To older audience the show might seem rushed but in my opinion I think the movie was meant for parents and teens and children the most. The movie is such good representation to puberty and how it feels growing up and finding yourself, it represents how you don’t need to have a single emotion to describe yourself, not everyone is perfect, and it’s ok to not know what happens next in the future. For teens it’s an important message because not everyone has everything figured out when they’re in their most important phase in life. For parents it’s a message that shows how teens and pre teens feel during that change, kind of like an introspective into their minds and the movie does it REALLY well compared to other movies for children it’s entertaining, and a fun movie with young and adult humor for all ages. Sure it focuses on teens the most but it’s also a movie everyone can relate to in some point in their life. The anxiety attacks also are really represented in a good way and can be relatable for tons of people with that problem. This is what I want from a movie, a movie entertaining and enchanting for kids and deep and meaningful for older audiences. I almost teared up in that movie and I’ve got to say it’s even better than the original. I hope Pixar thrives from this success and makes even better movies

This was def a rare W for a Disney sequel, and that *rarely* ever happens with sequels. 😅 This is how you know they *truly* went all out.

Why does everyone hate turning red 😭 I LOVE it

Am I the only one who prefers the 2nd one over the first

I honestly hope Inside Out 3 explores adult and parenthood for Riley next 💛💙💜💚❤️

I loved Inside Out 2 but I had a small gripe with it and it regards the climax. Spoiler: The entirety of the first movie was built around the idea that it was okay to have negative experiences and that shutting them away only causes problems. But Joy in this movie litteraly throws away any negative aspects of Riley's livelihood to never deal with them again and she once again realises that these negative experiences are also a part of Riley's character and her sense of self. I just found it slightly annoying that she learnt her lesson but at the same time didnt.

So, this movie about emotions actually made me emotional. I teared up more times than I'd like to admit. Like you said, this was extremely relatable, but for me, it was other reasons beyond recalling childhood. One of the hardest parts for me was actually when the movie was over. I had taken my 6 year old nephew to see it and he was confused about a lot of things, mostly anxiety. As someone that has trouble with anxiety, it was hard for me to try to explain what anxiety is. He thought she was the bad guy, but I had to explain that she was not a villain, she was trying her best to be helpful, but her helpfulness was not helping. It was hurtful, but she genuinely didn't mean to be. She loves Riley, they all do. But, when anxiety got out of control, it was hard to calm her down. For a while, she was untouchable. Joy could not force her to stop, she had to reach her with words to calm her down enough to be able to touch her and pull her away. He didn't quite understand, but I told him a story about us when he was anxious and how I had to talk to him calmly to set him away ease. My emotion of calm had to touch his emotion of anxiousness. Emotions can touch other emotions, but they have to be able to reach them first. He understood a little better after that, but it was still...and is still a challenge trying to get him to understand. I'm glad we saw the movie together, though.

It's interesting to consider, all those movies I've loved in my life yet never re-watched. The films I actually go back and look at more than once is pretty small now that I think on it 🤔

I thought the design and audio was repetitive, but first and second movie both made me teary 🥲 eyed so there both very good and cute!, loved fear, anxiety, and boredom, embarrassment and nostalgia!

As someone with an anxiety disorder, i found this sequel to be fantastic and deeply relateable. How anxiety tries to control and gameplan for every single little future scenario that it completely consumes Rileys life was very accurate. The panic attack was very faithful and a great representation of what it feels like on the inside - a desperate collapse of reality around you where you don't know how to calm down. The scene in the imagination room with anxiety/Joy was a great way to illustrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a real life therapy technique. It's brilliant how excellently everything was portrayed. Hands down my favorite pixar movie to date.

The title doesn't lie. It was an amazing movie and I could relate to it a lot as a teenager. I would probably not watch it ever again though.

Joy going insane was peak

In my thinking, there is only one movie that lands in the everyone needs to see it, but the impact is too much to see it more than once. I don’t consider Inside Out 2 to be there. The real question with Inside Out 2, though, is whether schools will play it right after Inside Out 1. Inside Out 1 is very often played in middle school/junior high health classes as part of the unit on mental and emotional health. If schools pick up Inside Out 2 to play right after… That’s part of the beauty of animation, when done right-it can make abstract concepts concrete. And done in a believable way that‘s not cheesy.

When riley said “I’m not good enough” that hit too hard…

Bro Inside out 2 I related more to the anxiety and Sense of self. And how negative it can be if you let it. But not only that, sometimes you just need to love every bit of yourself and just be kind and easy on yourself.

Still waiting on that Zootopia sequel 😊

Initially, I wasn't excited for this movie. It felt like just another rehashing of what was a phenomenal film that was able to take how we see complex identities and senses of self, and rehashed it into this cash grab for Puberties sake. However, seeing your take on this and how you've come around to the film. I'm actually quite excited to go and see this movie. It sounds like while it may still have been a cash grab, it wasn't just a rehash of content, they truly tried to show the growth in each stage of life. I do wonder if they'll do a film about becoming an adult and wat a mid life crisis feels like. Or maybe child bearing in the future.

Off topic, but when I saw you reference Onward when saying it’s story wasn’t good but it was still beautiful, I got so offended 💀💀💀 it’s such a good movie and I fight everyone on its behalf to this day LMAOO

My mother and younger sister called it too babyish and found it kinda boring. I was in shock because of their reactions and how surprisingly good it was for a sequel.

I rewatched it two times. I really really really really loved the movie, laughed and cried a lot during the first and second one

Not gonna lie my friends and I were sobbing while watching this movie 😅. As young adults who had really hard puberty eras, this movie was an emotional gut punch

i don't know if i would call my adolescence similar to riley's, but i was still connecting with her throughout the movie.

I also liked it

This was a good film

It seems that Pixar got the relatability factor down for the majority of people, which is great for them and hits close to home for ya’ll. On another note my teen experience was a little different, I rarely dealt with anxiety or envy or embarrassment, I did go through an emo phase which was cringe but even there I rarely dealt with those emotions. I’m not saying they should have made the movie about my childhood, I am just finding it interesting how the majority of teens experience was portrayed so well in this movie and what I’ve been doing that lead to a different result during my teens. But then again there are some factors which lead to me rarely dealing with these emotions. Firstly I’m a Christian, I love Jesus, and God’s in control so whom shall I fear, I live by that and when I find myself anxious about little things I just give it to God, and it’s no longer my problem. No need to be envious because I know I’m enough, God said so. People won’t remember you’re embarrassing moments, so why be self conscious during the moment when that person most likely won’t pickup on the feeling your feeling, so might as well laugh with them and tell people that-could-be, embarrassing moment to get a laugh with your friends, it honestly makes for good storytelling. Secondly I’m homeschooled so a lot of the things ya’ll face in the public school system probably brought on these emotions, because let’s be honest, people are cruel especially in the middle school and highschool. Experiences make us who we are, but even in that environment, living for Christ has changed my life, the emo phase wasn’t great because I was hanging out with a friend group who didn’t have my best interest at heart and I even had to take a break from my closest friend in that group, because I started to lose my sparkle and I was spiraling down. Praise Yahweh I’ve been saved and redeemed. My experience may be a little different but I promise God is real and alive and He continues to give me Peace, He can do that for you too, I know life’s rough, school’s hard, people are cruel, but remember, you are loved and you are worth it! Jesus is the way to true Joy, True Peace, True fulfillment and there’s an open invitation into the Kingdom just for you! You just have to believe, and works don’t get you to heaven but walking out the word in thankfulness for what Christ has done is the way to go. I’m praying for ya’ll and there’s Hope and Jesus loves ya’ll! I hope ya’ll have a wonderful day and have fun at the movies! For those who read to the end, thank you for reading, I hope you found Hope one way or another. I know no one asked to know my experience, but hey too many people in the world are dealing with loneliness, emptiness, and lack Hope, if I can shine some light on where you can find Hope, I’d rather tell the truth on where to find it. Take it or leave it and Have a ✨💖✨Sparkly Day!✨💖✨

It left me wanting more so its a job well done

Pouchie got VIOLATED

good to know that Pixar is slowly getting their mojo back, now we just need the same thing for Disney which perhaps will hardly happen anytime soon

NINE?! I THOUGHT IT WAS LINE5 OR 6 HOW THE F HAVE I FORGOT WHAT YEAR IT WAS

I loved the movie. Granted I've just graduated High School, I understand the emotions Riley went through. It was a pretty relatable movie for all teenagers.

I saw the first Inside Out when I was working on my undergraduate degree in psychology. I’m currently finishing up my PhD in psychology and saw the sequel on Father’s Day with my dad. I absolutely love both movies, but as someone who suffers with a very severe anxiety disorder and who has a very complicated relationship with my anxiety, I did find this movie more relatable.

Ok I'm gonna say it it reminded it more of Mickey's mouse clubhouse with toodles when they called for pouchy

I love your analysis

I haven’t quite hit puberty yet, but I’ve had lots of experiences with anxiety, and have to say, the way this film handled anxiety was almost too real! Amazing movie, I highly recommend you go see it!

My only complaint about this movie is that Anui is left in the background.

It made me cry toward the end and the audience clapped in the movie theater and I also laughed out loud.

😊

so, i'm confused, you don't wanna watch it again because it reminds you of your past, even though you said that this sort of stuff is like a sense of comradery, that you're not alone?

Hey

I cant wait to watch it on Disney +

I saw the movie today and I absolutely loved it. People leave a like if you agree with me.

I love the second one so much! I watched it the first day it was in theatres and tbh in my opinion, I think it’s better than the first!

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.

Hold on people rewatch movies they like?Whats the purpose of that?

Saying it’s a spoiler review 7 minutes in is a bold move 😭

Saw the movie, and it was awesome!

I will probably see this movie later bc hahaha boycott, but my problem with the movie is that pixar laid off approximately 14 percent of their workforce recently. folks who worked on this film may not even be employed anymore! remember that these multi-million dollar films are made by incredible artists who often don't get the respect they deserve.

I loved tis ons so much it wos It's funnier and I kinda have a feeling that the first one was kinda cringy, It had really emotional scenes.But this one had more of the cast and more deep dive in the world building that we already knew and loved.😅❤🎉I also love the Blue's Clues and the Door the Explorer reference.Also, Joey's character was really well-built.She is not perfect, but I really relate to her and anxiety. And also Riley.😊

Personally, I liked the movie, it was really strong, but it had a weak conclusion, yeah she said sorry but there were no consequences for her actions, she makes the team dispute messing up her own teammates She keeps her friends even though she was a complete jerk to them And she gets to fit in with the popular people even though she was being fake, and ignoring her friends to impress them This is probably a hot take but the outcome of this movie is pretty contrived. Personally I just didn’t want riley to stick with the red streak haired girls, felt like she had her cake and ate it too.

Also I guessed what anxiety looked like

I'm glad someone said it. Basically Inside Out 1 shown us childhood and the bitterness that comes with change and losing our childhood as we grow up.....Inside Out 2 is teenager cringe and they did too well with it 😅. No one like remembering their EARLY teen years 😂😂😂

I know I'll never watch the _Spider-verse_ movies again. Once's enough for me. I already watched _Inside Out 2_ twice.

I just watched this movie in theaters and it was good!

Never thought I would hear someone say its too good

Ikr it was really good!

I guess this is Disney trying to recover after Wish failed being good

In a way the original is more cinematic and nostalgic to me but inside out 2 hits way too close as I’m a teenager and I had a mental breakdown a couple of months ago so when watching that movie I cried unlike any movie I ever watched.

Lowkey liked the 2nd one more

MLB RETROS...

The movie's good I just dont know how to feel about the retcons they did... Like on one hand its not that bad, but on the other it does rub me the wrong way everytime something is different... Like Anxiety's whole existence still rubs me the wrong way when Fear filled the role she said she was meant to fill in the first movie... It feels like the base emotions' potential roles were narrowed down just to fit more emotions...

Inside out 2 is my favorite movie🧡

I haven’t watched this yet but the way anxiety is described is giving insecurity, not anxiousness. Anxiousness is unease, uncertainty of an outcome. Insecurity is a lack of confidence in oneself, uncertain about decisions that impact yourself.

Yeah I got so embarrassed in theatre

Envie is 9!

You are such a sharp critical thinker

Totally disagree about the video game dub for Kingdom Hearts. Kingdom Hearts has one of the better dubs from Japan video games.

I'm really glad they didn't make Riley bisexual. I don't care if you're right or left. I don't want to hear about politics in a movie like this even if I agree with the political message or not. Just make good, relatable movies, which is what Pixar did here.

if you think inside out is still better than inside out 2 ? like here

There are movies out there, a million times better than this one, that people have no problem watching again. Inside Out is nothing special, it's just a weird movie about gremlins living in people's heads, controlling what are suppose to be human beings but now believing that they can't think or act themselves without their emotions taking control. But back on topic, we got E.T., The Godfather, King Kong, The Shawshank Redemption, Godzilla, Jaws, Alien, The Breakfast Club, The Lion King, Spirited Away, Saving Private Ryan, Thelma and Louise, and many many many other films that are so iconic, beloved by many, and have earned their reputation as being the best of the best, and we still watch these movies again and again. Inside Out is not special, it's very flawed, has a concept that's really only suited for a silly short, even the emotions break character by having various of emotions aside from what they represent, which then begs the question if they are being controlled by gremlins in their head, going deeper down a rabbit hole that's really not worth analyzing. It's just not that great of a movie. I could name 50 other animated movies that are better than this and people are more likely gonna revisit regardless of how good a movie is.

You done good Pete Docter, you done good, you too Pixar. Looks like the magic isn't gone after all, or in this case, when they made Cars 2, and Lightyear, they flopped so hard, although the movie isn't the problem, it's the bad writing, and this what happens when Hollywood pander to their audience and makes things worse, still don't know why The Good Dinosaur and Onward were also failures, or if Monster's University was an unnecessary sequel, or probably should’ve happened first, and sometimes I find it ironic for Brave to also be a disappointment or not much of a Pixar movie since it won an Oscar, this is also why you should give an honest opinion and not trust Box Offices or online reviews since they're filled with lies. Who else think Inside Out 2 should've happened a long time ago if Hollywood didn't make those failures.💛😃💙😢💜😱💚🤢❤️😡🧡😰🩵🥹🩷😳💜🥱
