Inside Out 2 | Movie Review 

I've been hearing plenty of good stuff about the movie so far, and because of that, it's making me even more excited for it. I was originally excited yet still had some concerns, but after some of the stuff I've been hearing, I'm now going in with hardly any concerns and am just excited.

Looks like Pixar is back at the box office! Great video Sean, I completely agree with you. This is a return to form and another Pixar classic!

Sadness is my favourite character too❤❤❤

I saw Inside Out 2 and really enjoyed it I might prefer Inside Out 1❤❤

Loved it especially anxiety

Really excited for this one and super happy to hear the good reviews! I loved the original and thought it was ripe for a sequel ever since I saw it. Can't wait!

I’m very glad this movie is good, but Pixar is going to continue to receive the wrong message: that sequels are preferred over original stories

Admittedly, I’m extremely late to the party to this franchise I’m about to watch the first film for the first time probably Friday evening before I go see the second movie with my mom on Saturday afternoon so admittedly, it’s one I haven’t gotten around to but, since I have Disney+ I’ll catch up on the original on Friday evening most likely with my mom before we go see the second one

Is anyone gonna say dope shirt? Ok. I will then.

Wow. What an incredible in-depth breakdown and review Sean. I’m a youth pastor and a lot of the parents I’m working with were worried about this movie of anything not appropriate for their kids. Love your reviews brother, this is why you’re the best

This movie scares me for future of Pixar. The last 3 Pixar movies were ehh/bad and then there first specail one since Luca is a sequal are they running out of ideas I hope not. But just to clarify 10/10 movie maybe my fav Pixar movie masterful

The one thing I love about both Insideout 1 and 2 is how it makes me analyze and check in with myself. Last year was the roughest time of my life and I feel like this year, my joy, core values, and what I truly love are finding their way back to me ❤

Amazing movie. This could get the Oscars for Best Animated Feature.

I just saw Inside Out 2 I can confidently say it’s a flawless masterpiece! This is prime Pixar at its best! This is the Pixar we know and love. This may be a little controversial, but I think Inside Out 2 might be my new #1 favorite Pixar movie. Inside Out 2 made me feel something I’ve never felt before. There isn’t a word for it, it just felt special, or heartwarming! That’s the best way I can describe it. The minute the music started playing in the beginning, I immediately started crying of happiness because I remembered how amazing the original was. Keep in mind I’m 21 years old and I rarely ever cry at all. It takes a lot to get me to cry, and for Pixar to be able to crack at that and get me to cry should say something. Inside Out relates to me and almost everyone because we all express emotions and growing up can be a challenge especially teenage years. Here is an interesting Easter egg that I just caught while looking over the bedroom scene where all the emotions sleep. When they zoom in on Joy, if you look next to her bed you can see a Bing Bong statue or mini toy. Such a nice touch. 😭💔

One thing I think you missed on the “Bad” section was the character of Envy. I thought Envy barely even represented what she was supposed to be and served only as a character that allowed Anxiety to bounce off of her.

I went into this movie with mediocre expectations, and i walked out absolutely shell shocked, this is to be honest the best Pixar Movie ever in my opinion and to me the third best Animated Movie ever being the Lion King and Megamind. This Movie is perfect on so many levels, complex in ways that need to be analysed, the fact that Anxiety was the antagonist but still wasnt really a villain is perfect for me. It shows the human psyche to such an insane extent, how Anxiety is a self damaging force that at the end of the time cant even be controlled by the emotion.I loved seeing Rileys development, how she cant resonate with change and tries desperately to fit in, that was the crux of the story at the end of the day, Finding Identity. "Is this what happens when you get older? You feel less joy" THAT LINE MAN LIKE FUCKING HELL That line is INCREDIBLE, Cause it resonates not only with Riley and the emotions in the movie, but every person who has experienced puberty knows the pain that Riley feels and exactly what Riley is going to. Shawn got the memo of this perfectly, its Special, its in my opinion Pixars best film, and i really hope they make sequals. For me, it would be amazing if Inside out was either a Trilogy or made into five films, how i think it would work with a Trilogy is that it culminates in a similar way to Toy Story Three, where the emotions grow up just like Riley will. Pixar also could do a amazing cameo if Riley goes off to University and meets Andy from Toy Story, like just saying that would be epic. If they make five films, they could for a 4th and 5th film, do for the fourth a film about Riley possibly becoming a parent and exploring the same emotions like puberty with her kids that she experienced in this film, and she should get her own arc about how she realises how messed up she was back when she was younger, For a Fifth Film, i would love it if Nostalgia was the antagonist in a similar way to Anxiety. Where Riley becomes older after her Kids leave for University and possibly her husband/boyfriend passes away and her parents and she may have to deal with that. We could see Nostalgia basically take over as the emotions themselves get older and more dormant, and Nostalgia causing Riley to get caught up in memories for the past she rarely has anymore that makes her feel nostalgia, causing her to not focus on the present as much, and then culminate with Riley finally coming to terms with her emotions and maybe end with her dying and her and the emotions being reincarnated as another baby riley. This was an essay style analysation but HOLY SHIT I loved this film, hope you all have a great day, your all legends (:

I saw the movie and I love it. Possibly the best Pixar movie. I like this movie on the same level as the first movie.

Anxiety needed that hug, loved when Joy got her a chair she can be relaxed in at the end.

This movie was exactly what I was hoping it would be. I love the first, and this one definitely holds its own in comparison. Fantastic stuff

I’m taking my mom to see this on her birthday.

Pixar is back!!! Let’s goooo!!!

Inside Out is my favorite Pixar film, and my second-favorite Disney-affiliated animated film at all after 1994’s Lion King. Seeing both Sean and Dan Murrell love this film so much is making my showing this evening so exciting!

I think this movie is an absolute Disney masterpiece🙌 it’s such an amazing movie for adults and children and in ways an important one for children to watch, solid 10/10 for me

I was 11 when the first movie came out. I saw it in theaters and I absolutely fell in love with it! I even remember seeing it again in theaters that summer. Now I'm 20 and I'm excited to see the sequel in theaters!

Oh thank god Pixar is back!!! (For now at least)

"Maybe growing up means there's less Joy." Dang, Pixar bringing the truth out.

Ever since watching this movie, I cannot get Pouchy out of my head. He so reminded me of Toodles from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Hoping it’s really good. Pixar being my second favorite studio, I haven’t been a big fan of their last couple of movies, tho I have at least liked them. I’m hoping I’ll love this one and that it’ll be a great time at the movies with the fam 👍

i am so so so happy that everyone is enjoying this movie! i saw it yesterday and absolutely loved it!

Soul to me is a special movie

I love how the film tackles many abstract ideas and makes it simpler for kids. Both these films are absolutely top tier pixar for me and I love how they make/help me to feel my emotions!

1. I enjoy Inside Out 2. I am excited about Inside Out 2

I saw Inside Out 2 yesterday, and I really loved the sequel

Great Review Sean and I’m so glad you enjoyed it so now I feel better about seeing it myself cause I’ve been nervous for Pixar but one good thing I found out today was that Pixar said their not going the live action movie route which is a breath of fresh air in my opinion just stick to animation because that’s the best 😊 Have a Great Day and God Bless you and your family ✝️🙂

The original inside out is my favourite non toy story pixar film, I feel like I was the perfect age to see it at the time and I had recently moved house so it really touched me. However, I didn't have the highest expectations for this because I haven't been impressed by Pixar's films over the past few years and the trailers didn't blow me away, so this review has got me excited and now I honestly can't wait to check it out.

I can’t believe how personal this movie felt to me. It was so good👌😄

And we were all worried about Pixar. If it wasn’t attached to Disney they’d be showing us how it done. To bad it is that funding that give them the creative freedom.

My number one most favorite pixar movie is inside out and my second favorite is elemental and I was 7 years old when the first movie came out and now I am 16 ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 and I also think that anxiety is one of those misunderstood villains 🧡 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

One of your better reviews (irregardless of the film and its quality), plus you made me laugh in your interaction with your daughter. I am very surprised in the metacritic score differences between the two and the difference in writers and directors may have something to do with it. The score has made me hesitant (as well as the price) of making this the second film I'll see in theatre's this year. I saw the first in the theatre and really did like it. I may see this one, not sure.

As a 31 yo Male i cried when Joy told Anxiety to "Let Go" thankfully my kids were sitting in the row in front of me. That scene truly touched my heart.

Woww wow wow..this movie is for teens and also actually for people going through adulting where we feel scary of losing of ourselves & feeling lost..love the director, such a fun and intelligent way of storytelling..cried at climax..so much connected Love this movie 5/5 ♥️♥️💥

You should do an updated video of ranking every Pixar movie including Inside Out 2 from the worst to best!

I'm so glad you mentioned how riley was a actual character now that was my biggest takeaway. In the first one I couldn't wait to get back to the emotions and riley was kinda background. In this one I wanted to keep seeing how her story would play out.

Looking forward to this one. Hope its not disappointing like most other stuff coming out of pixar sequals these days

the orginal felt so real

As a point of reference, I know that you really like Toy Story 4 (which only came out 5 years ago), and have it as one of your top Pixar movies. How does this movie compare to that on your Pixar ranking?

Is it bad that this affirms the statements in the interview and will make Pixar do more sequels and less original films

Inside out 1 and 2 are top 5 Pixar I love these movies

Best review I've seen. I described it to my friends as this movie feels like a therapy session to me.

Good: This film explores the experiences and feelings of pubety to perfection! Its crazy how accurate the whole puberty story is. This is without a doubt the most relatable pixar film. The selected the perfect group of new emotions. The new emotions are very well designed and they're all really fun and quirky, anxiety is the big stand out. I like how anxiety is perceived as a villain but she has very good intentions. Once again the imagination is through the roof, with things like the sar-casm and the brain-storm. It was nice how Riley is much more of a character and we follow her life just as much as the emotions. Nice how the other og emotions were along for the ride too. The panic attack was the best scene in the film. It was a very powerful scene because of how incredibly well it visually showed an anxiety attack. I did have a few minor criticisms though. For one it was strange how sadness spent the majority of the runtime completely seperate from the other og emotions. Also it didn't feel like the film had different acts. You couldn't tell where each act ended and began. Also even though there was plenty of emotion this film didn't quite reach the same emotional level that the original did. Like for example bings bongs death is probably the saddest scene in all of pixar. But i still really liked and it and its so nice to have old pixar back

Im making a review right now, i think it was a good movie but it can’t compare to the first one. The first was way more emotional and had better stakes.

I loved the first movie. I'm excited to see the sequel on Friday

The Wild Robot and Despicable Me 4, good luck

Soul, was the best kid-adult movie ever

I honestly love this more than I did the first one. Don't get me wrong I loved the first one too, but coming into this with the perspective of a college student getting ready to move on to the next chapter of his life; I came to like this one more especially with a character like anxiety. I don't have real bad anxiety like most people but I like many people understood where anxiety was coming from in this story. As for my thoughts on the current state of Pixar, I think Pixar is in a better place creatively than it was 14 years ago. For me personally, I've been loving the films they've been putting out since 2020 (with the exception of Lightyear.) Infact this is the first Pixar sequel that I've found to be on par with Toy Story 3.

Always so impressed with your reviews man. Keep on putting out great content love your thoughts on all! This was a solid 8/10 for me and my family

Had so much fun with this movie

Great Video!!! I LOVED THIS MOVIE SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! I Was 6 when The First Inside Out came out and now I'm 15. Having had a Similar Experience to Riley, With Moving Away from Home, I Related to it a lot and now as a Teenager, I Relate to it Even More now. It was So Sad and Emotional, But also So Sweet! Definitely One of My Favorite Pixar Films! And now with This Movie, Being a Teenager I Might Relate to it even more than The First One. This Movie Perfectly Captures what it's like to be a Teenager. All of The New Emotions were Fantastic! Anxiety in particular was Such a Fantastic Character! As someone who Definitely Experiences Anxiety, It was Such a Perfect Depiction of what Anxiety is and what it does to You. And Of Course all Of The Old Emotions were Great as Well! This Movie was just Absolutely Phenomenal!!! One Of The Best Pixar Movies Ever!!!!!!

I saw this today with my Mom and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was 8 when Inside Out released. I’ve always loved that film, but when you’re that age you mainly just understand the general ideas, and not as much the deeper themes. Now, seeing this in the theater 9 years later, I have nostalgia for that movie, but I’m also at the age where I can understand the jokes and themes because I’m literally going through everything this movie is talking about as we speak. For that latter reason a lot of this really hit home. Glad you liked it a lot too, Sean!

This is the best Pixar film in a while. They're going back to what made the company legendary. However, I hope that they don't see it as, "the public only wants sequels." Continue to take chances, Pixar people, but don't forget what made you what you are. What I took away from the movie is Riley's not letting her emotions rule her as they did when she was a child. That's what the core values flower meant to me. All that said, I still prefer the original. This film didn't affect me emotionally like the first one. There was no Bing-Bong moment. P.S.: Love the shirt. I want to be excited about _Alien: Romulus,_ but I've been disappointed by the franchise too many times.

Just saw it, and loved it. It was such a great movie, better than the original, with personally emotions that work. It's Pixar magic

The last Pixar movie I really loved Soul, hopefully this movie will change that.

This is the best Pixar movie ever made, sooooo relatable to actual life no Pixar movie has done this make you really feel something. I’m sorry Incredibles and Toystory 2 y’all 2nd and 3rd now lol 😂 💯🔥💪🏿

Nice! Not so sure If my cousins will enjoy this film though 🤣 but we'll give it a try.

Will you do an updated Pixar ranking?

To be honest I’m struggling as to which is my favorite movie of the year on one hand there’s kingdom of the planet of the apes which I thought was great but on the other hand there’s inside out 2 which really surprised me and I really enjoyed but I think I’m gonna have to go with kingdom just by a tiny bit though I do think that movie has more flaws it’s just I love that franchise and I thought it was great but inside out 2 is in really close second

Best Pixar film since Toy Story 4 is looking likely!! Super excited to see this on Saturday with my girlfriend. Gonna see it in 3D.

Very good movie. I thought the original was a 9/10 and I think this one is an 8.5/10.

I guess inside out has the best sequel in years .only toy story had reach a higher score years ago ,so i see the populairty for the franchise will growing ✨️👍🏻

Sean i actually understand your daughter saying Sandess is her favorite character because from the first to the second movie i feel Sadness had the best character development because even when the team was down and out Sadness was the emotion they had to depend on to get back to the control center and i see that as a comparison to even when your feeling sad and down you still have to push along because others are depending on you to be great.

Inside Out 3, Riley has a midlife crisis/goes through depression

This movie was excellent, i would have liked it if they changed up some more stuff, the movie is basically a remake with the same beats and message as the first one, but it was still a great watch

My only negative about Inside Out 2 is that the family island is way smaller than the friendship island. While it is accurate to teenagers, the way they mentioned it made me think it was for shadowing an important plot point; especially since Riley's parents were really important in the first one. Other than that, the movie was great.

I’m shocked he likes this movie since he didn’t like turning red to be kind he seemed to hate it lol.

It’s crazy that when the first one came out I was 9 years old.

It was good in a really weird way- like the first movie you felt emotions spaced out but in this movie all of the emotions hit you like a truck! It also feels really quick but somehow still enjoyable. I liked it.

So far so good. The film was absolutely fantastic.

I'm looking forward to this movie, but will probably wait until it's on streaming services.

This movie is the way turning red should’ve been. What do you say shonny?

This is the first movie I saw in over a year being 25... I enjoyed it.

3:33 yeah I noticed to she feels more like a human like the main character rather than a tool used to develop the story

Finally a Pixar sequel that didn’t suck ass this time!

Sean your a dad with I think a 7 and 9 year old of you liked this movie

It was so good, from my mom to my little nephew everyone loved it

i soo cant wait i love animation and pixar

Please tell me your making a ranking of the characters..

I'm going to acid before I see this

Definitely a special movie. I don’t care if people disliked it or not. This movie was such a good representation of teaching all ages about mental health and emotional intelligence. I feel like everyone should see it especially if you are someone that deals with anxiety, having trouble balancing your emotions and if you don’t feel good about yourself. Great message and loved the positive affirmations in the movie

Loved it!

Seeing it tomorrow night. So excited to hear that its another pixar great

Anger is the best character. He consistently makes me laugh so hard

I, like so many others in there, have been really nervous about seeing this film. But since watching your review I’ll definitely see it :)

I was 10 when the first one came out. They first movie I saw at the brand new movie chain that opened up near me (emagine). Loved every second of it and is still one of my favorite Pixar movies to this day. I’m 19 now. This movie lives up to the hype. I don’t think it’s quite as much a masterpiece but it’s still great. It’s ever so slightly weaker than the first but still a worthy and great sequel. Also related to this movie a lot, honestly more than the original.

Inside Out 2 feels so much smaller. The "Sarcasm" and "Brainstorm" are great world building, but they don't work too well as roadblocks because they aren't really a result of Riley's conflicting emotions. They're just a part of Riley growing up/literally thinking! (In the first movie, the roadblocks were Riley as a person breaking apart).

Any post credits scenes?

This movie really resonated with me. I’m about to head off to college and have been experiencing a lot of sentimental and anxiety inducing thoughts. I really enjoyed how the new emotions played into the story, especially anxiety. I was reminded of why I love Pixar and was given moments to reflect, I saw myself in Riley. Really solid film, not up there with the greats of the studio, but one that I appreciate and really feel will ring home with a lot of people.

As a 23 year old woman who went to watch this movie, I agree with everything you said. It left me realizing new things about myself. It definitely is a special one! There were some parts that had me bawling like a baby

😢

As a 24 yr old man , completely loved this movie . So many emotions involved. Both movies are a 10/10 to me.

Nice.
