The little detail that stuck out to me was that Fear was almost immediately on board with Anxiety. Fear and anxiety frequently go hand in hand, frolicking in a meadow of the worst possible outcomes, with sadness or anger following close behind

Small detail, but I really like the transition from "personality islands" to a more interwoven Sense of Self. When we're younger we tend to base our identities on a handful of traits and priorities (I.e. the islands) but as we grow up things get more interconnected and nuanced

"I don't know how to stop Anxiety. Maybe this is what happens when you grow up. You feel less joy." Don't bottle up your emotions, nor allow the emotions to control you. Both "Inside Out" and "Inside Out 2" should be watched by parents with their children on a regular basis.

Oh boy! Watching Anxiety work triggered my anxiety! The whole time I was like "DO NOT LET ANXIETY DRIVE!" This is gonna be a good movie for sure.

Hey guys, sorry for the last second re-upload. Had a little copyright issue, but we got it all worked out with Disney/Pixar, and we're ready to go for tomorrow morning!

I found the Emotions' bunkbeds so adorable and once again it expresses their character as the emotion they each represent like Fear sleeps with a teddybear as something to keep tucked close to him for safety, Disgust sleeps like she wants to wake up NOT feeling disgusting so she's having her beauty-sleep, Anger's moving in his sleep like's he's fighting someone, Sadness looks more curled into herself like it's a self-soothing tactic and Joy just look like she's just deep into dreamland contently.

17:31 i just realized what a great parallel these scenes are: Riley anxiously fangirls as she meets her idol, and then Anxiety fangirls over HER idol (Joy) and is equally awkward because she's anxious!

As a person with anxiety disorder the panic attack scene hit so close to home, I teared up in the theater. That first panic attack you never forget it, they’re rough

Seen it twice already, and I have to say that Pixar nailed the portrayal of Anxiety. I've always loved the first movie, but as someone with pretty bad anxiety, the second movie REALLY resonated with me.

My 13 year old son wants so bad to work for Disney. He insisted we stay and watch the credits and he says one day we will see his name on the screen. He wanted to thank all the amazing people who made this beautiful movie. So cool you got to be there!

I have a ten year old daughter, and I kind of feel like 10 is the new 13. She definitely has the enormous emotions of puberty already, and I’m expecting to identify with this movie so much.

wow, congrats guys of how far you've made it. Being invited inside Pixar! You deserve it. And we your audience are sharing your excitement.

the fact that Ennui is french is KILLING ME 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭

I watched Inside Out 2 yesterday. There was a little boy on my left that asked his dad a few times if he could take a picture of the screen because it was so beautiful. My favorite comment that he made was at the end of the movie, he said "when is she going to get the emotion love?". I don't think this boy was older than 6-7.

Thank you for including "no spoilers" in the title I was going to scroll by and come back once I had seen the movie. Then I was like oh snap I can watch this video 😅❤

You know what makes me happy? Seeing how our 2 Internet Dads came from "We're just 2 guys watching movies, talking about them and the psychological themes in them" to "We're inside Pixar!" in a dream come true like scenario :D And even better: They did it while staying the positive and joyful guys they have been from the beginning! Of course, without the people behind the camera working hard as well this would probably not have come to be, so I just want to thank ALL you people for doing what you are doing :) You are amazing!

Inside Out completely shaped the way i viewed and processed emotions as little kid. So much that i still use it as a template as an adult. To say that im excited for this movie would be the understatement of the century lol.

"Am I really worth all this celebrating?" well damn. hits a little too close to home.

I love how Anxiety reacts to Joy like Riley reacts to Val.

I took my daughter to see Inside Out 2; she (at age 4) was already making connections to her emotions and going “when I’m older I get new ones. I (will) be different” which I was just blown away at her understanding. My second take away was as a former teenage girl, I felt extremely seen! Go see inside out 2!

Child therapist here, had a conversation with a child who we’ve talked about core beliefs and they identified how the movie put that in better perspective and helped to understand it more. Love these movies, please Pixar, make more!

I’m SO HAPPY that they made all the characters look out for Riley, because it is true, that these emotions are all there to help, just don’t know how yet. Especially at this stage in life. Such a good movie

There's a short glimpse in the mid credits where in the minds of Riley's parents their anxiety popped back in and the beautiful thing about it was they just welcomed anxiety and calmed it right down. Showing that when we get older we learn to deal with anxiety and just let them be and don't let them get too ahead of themselves.

From the day they announced Anxiety I knew just how necessary a sequel needed to exist to introduce her, and I knew immediately how relatable she will be as she is at the helm for MANY of us. I'm already laughing so hard and tearing up at the accuracy

20:27 I’ve heard this explained by a psychologist: This is called the “sympathetic system” in the body aka “fight/flight/freeze”-response. The brain can’t tell the difference between imagined “threats” (thoughts) and real “threats”, so every time you have anxiety or feel stressed up, the brain thinks we’re being “chased by a cave bear or a cave lion”. Humans haven’t evolved for thousands of years so we’re still “stone age people” in a stressful modern society. Back then, anxiety was actually needed for our survival but we don’t need that nowadays. The body and the brain is like a smoke detector. The way to get rid of anxiety/stress is to not “flee” from the situation in any kind of way because that confirms to the brain that the threat is still there. By being still and waiting it out, the anxiety will go away on its own once the brain realises there is no real threat. But this takes practise. Small steps at a time. Like this and the first movie show, all emotions are a part of life.

I was a teenager when the first Inside Out came out. It stood out to me in a way that most movies at the time didn’t. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do for school or anything. Now the second one comes out, and I’ve got a Bachelors Degree in Psychology, making me appreciate the original even more. Love seeing how they took the time to do the research to get things right, and make what can be complex ideas more digestible.

Jonathan’s joy to be at Pixar is a mood!

Moving... that doesn't even come CLOSE to describing the film. I'm someone who doesn't cry when they watch things, the first inside out had me shed a tear, and at the end of this one, it felt so relatable, I'm literally tearing up just thinking about it. If you thought the first film was emotional, this one will have you bawling like a baby.

i remember finding this channel when you guys were still so small and now you get opportunities like this, its so so cool

Okay, hanh on, psychology question: if Riley's mom has Sadness as her lead, I ASSUME that doesn't mean mom has depression, or else there wouldn't be ANY emotions at the console. I equated mom with having Sadness in point position as mom having a higher degree of empathy, which, sh*t, that means Sadness is my lead, too. I don't consider this a bad thing, but I feel WITH other people. One of my best friends lost his aunt a few months ago, and I swear to God, he was walking BEHIND me, and I could tell there was something wrong. I didn't know what had happened yet. But he walked by behind me and I went "ow."

This is SOOO cool! Just saw IO2 last night. It’s fantastic. My 15 year old nephew (who mostly went because his 11 year old brother wanted to see it & he was bored) said, “Wow. That movie actually SPOKE to me!” It did to me as an adult as well. ☺️ Can’t wait to see this!

i am genuinely SO glad they made the choice that all the emotions clearly do what they do because they want whats best for riley, because that really is how they are in real life too. they can seem so awful and like they get in our way, but ultimately they do what they do because its our body trying to do its best with what it has, even if it gets it wrong, or hurts other people, or hurts us. i was so beyond glad to see anxiety making it so clear that even though she was doing so many things wrong, that she really thought she was doing what was right... SPOILERS BELOW the moment where the new sense of self built entirely on anxiety was formed, oh what a moment. the way anxiety immediately reacted, you could _feel_ the way she thought she did everything right, that she had a clear goal in mind for riley... but she had no idea that what she was doing was hurting her, and leading up to rileys new sense of self telling her that she wasnt good enough. anxiety wanted perfection, and thought riley wanted perfection, but perfection just isnt realistic. and striving for perfection, by all accounts, really just hurts everyone. being human isnt perfect, thats the whole point. and even more SPOILERy is the panic attack scene, the way that anxiety was in that moment, just as frozen and terrified as riley was. i cant wait to hear what others think about that scene, i personally loved it and i know other people could talk about it way better than me. i cant even say that inside out 1&2 are my favorite movies but ive still connected with them when i watched them in various ways, and they really are just so great. me and my dad were so worried that this would be a bad sequel, theres so many that have been in the past, but it really does live up to its predecessor in my opinion. i just love these two movies ways of handling psychology in the way that they do. its so, so important for people to not only talk about mental health and what goes on in the mind, but to take such care with it, and i feel like they succeeded in that. not many pieces of media do.

I hate how much anxiety is sooooooo accurate. When I first saw her character design, I was a little insulted to be honest. Anxiety, for me, is a mentally and physically destructive monster that never stops finding reasons to fear being alive. And until today, I didn’t realize that they were aiming for the beginning of anxiety developing in the brain. I’ve unfortunately let anxiety control take control over me and my life, and as a result I’ve been experiencing health problems because of this. DON’T LET ANXIETY DO THIS TO YOU. Anxiety has been proven to not only cause nausea without relevant cause, but panic attacks, diarrhea, light headedness, uncontrollable tremors or shaking, and general loss of health. But it can also reinforce your chances of giving yourself IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), and suicidal thoughts. Of course this all depends on how your body reacts to extreme cases of anxiety; some people vomit under extreme cases of anxiety or stress, while others react by having an anxiety/panic attack. Please, please, please contact a therapist, psychiatrist, doctor, or all three if you can if you think your anxiety is causing genuine health problems that are keeping you from enjoying things you normally like and making the most out of life. Please, don’t make the same mistakes I’ve made and take care of yourself mentally *and* physically!

I like the integrity of the filmmakers at Pixar. If they look into a project, and realize there isn't a story worth telling, they have permission to walk it back or walk away. A lot of studios would just push forward regardless.

It's easily one of the best Pixar movies. The way it talks about how your emotions interact with your brain as a teenager and how our idea of who we are is constantly growing and changing. It's the good and the bad memories that shape who we are as a person

I won’t spoil it for anyone. But the way this movie touched my very wounded inner child…this movie was like therapy. I cried. And not because I feel happy or bad for the situation like I do other movies. But I cried because it helped me to understand myself better, even as an adult who is a psych nurse. But it was such a visual way of explaining it that it finally clicked for me and helped heal parts I couldn’t understand.

I interviewed at Pixar on release day for the first IO film in 2015, and there was a press event for that film, and also The Good Dinosaur as it was the first time two Pixar films were coming out in the same year...the lobby was a media circus but they were incredibly kind and patient with me. It was obvious in the first 5 minutes I wasn't right for the role, but they spent 40 more minutes chatting with me about my career path anyway, which was 40 minutes more than anyone ever had in that industry. That is to say, the folks over there are incredibly kind and generous individuals, and I'm glad you guys had a chance to visit this very special place! Can't wait to see IO2!

I work with children who often have a broken childhood and/or dysfunctional family. The sense of self made me tear up. This movie is about Riley having a happy, healthy childhood and thus a happy, healthy sense of self. She is very confident about being a kind, good person because her parents have always supported her and made her feel good about herself. Seeing that scene made me think about what is going on in the minds of those broken children. All I could think of was the little voices telling them they're not good, they're ugly, lazy, not wanted. I was BAWLING. Changing those voices is an extremely hard task. You have to tell them over and over again that they're worthy, good, they matter. But those voices that were planted in their minds in early childhood.. they stay. They grow weaker, but they stay. It's heartbreaking.

I love how Alan is sitting on the couch with is knee bent, foot flat on the floor like he’s too big for their couch 😂😂

I suppressed my tears so hard watching this movie that my throat started hurting. it's a healing experience but it still hits pretty close to home

14:36 I really like that. This movie allows teenagers to better understand what’s happening to them emotionally, and can help teach them that it’s not always their fault if they overreact and they don’t need to be so hard on themselves.

"Please go see this movie" me literally just coming back from watching it 😅 But seriously, the movie was amazing. Like, this is something I don't see very often, but there were so many moments in the movie when you could hear most of us in the audience reacting together, felt kinda oddly nice to connect all together

I am so proud of yalls. I subscribed after seeing your Hobbits Toxic Masculinity video (ye that long ago!) and to see you guys grow from 200 views to being invited by Pixar is so inspiring. I would love to see you dabble into cultural differences (through French films perhaps as a start?) in the future. Keep it up!

I have to thank the people at Pixar for these movies. They've made a world of a difference in my life and my family's lives. My brother is on the autism spectrum to the point of having limited communication, and he often has a really hard time identifying and managing his own emotions. The first movie gave him some ability to identify how he feels, and the sequel has expanded that vocabulary. It's a huge step for him, and I'm so grateful to Pixar for giving my brother such a visual representation of very abstract concepts to help us all understand each other better.

I am a 23 year old woman, but when I was Riley’s age in high school, possibly a little bit older, I really did start to develop horrible anxiety that still sticks with me to this day. I went and saw this movie with my friend last night and when I tell you, I came out feeling so validated, and seen, and understood…what they did with the portrayal of anxiety and the new emotions was phenomenal. I walked into that cinema a 23 year old who’s had anxiety since a teenager, and I walked out still that same person, but feeling better about myself, because it put the anxiety and overwhelming feelings into a new perspective for me. Revolutionary. Thank you, Pixar ❤️❤️

I liked the touch where Riley’s parents are controlled by emotions other than joy, Riley’s mum is has sadness as her leader and Riley’s dad had anger, it goes further proves that as we get older we feel less joy in our lives

Yo now Alan can curse pixar to their face

Inside out has always been a special movie to me, it came out when i was moving from minnesota just like Riley and i really resonated with the film of feeling lost. I now 17 and recovering from past events from shutdown era when i was first entering puberty saw this movie yesterday with my friend, came out of the movie theater BAWLING my eyes out. To anyone on the fence about seeing this movie, DO IT!!

Saw it yesterday, was pretty emotional, in a good way. Both laughed and cried at times.

All of the Crying with Alan, and the "Damn you, Pixar" fist shaking while tears are streaming down his face must have caught Pixar's attention. You guys pinged on their radar! They respected you and valued your insight, humor, and the whole package of the Internet Dads that you are, enough that the director of this film is eager to hear what you have to say about the film's final cut. Guys... Pixar Sees you. You've officially made it.

When he talked about his birthday and feeling so unhappy as a teen , teared up man, i definitely understand

NO SPOILERS: I saw the film opening night (Work at theatre, paid for my seat). Here's my NO SPOILERS summary lesson, AFTER studying emotions for 4 years AND being a teacher AND film major ( psychology). If I could tell ANYONE/ANYONE a lesson to walk away with in life for self it is this: IF you do not ask or make friends with your Anger, Fear, and Disgust (stress, bias, etc), then Happiness will always be illusive, Anxiety will continue to rule your identity, and you'll feel sadness but be stuck to let it out meaning won't know why you want to cry but aren't. Joy's hair is blue BECAUSE you need to ACCEPT that things are reality, not expectations, and sometimes that means to really FEEl joy, you have to accept that sadness, esp when communicating to others, can bring bright bridges and relationships. EQ is there. i like how what happens to the last emotion to touch the panel before Joy , how that white blur could be described as "feeling numb" as the other emotions are watching. I tried to tell my managers to put a chair next to our photobooth ( We only have Joy and Anger-kids have wondered where the rest are.) I tried to tell my managers to write down ANXIETY and put it on a chair so people could ALSO put their purses and popcorn on the chair while they take pics. I told them the kids could sit there and take a breather after seeing the film. The film had a chair, and tea haha and meditation. My manger ( not an educator) didn't think kids understand the subject. They do. Thanks Pixar. AND THEY HAVE THE RESEARCHERS NAMES IN THE CREDITS! FOR sure checking them out!

Inside Out 2 was definitely something special for me, as with many many people, I believe. I just finished my second-to-last GCSE exam and was at the cinema with my boyfriend. I went through pressure, panic, stress that could not be alleviated due to the need for determination to revise and succeed. When I was watching Anxiety, I was looking up to her in some moments, and as she was making this new personality for Riley, I felt that those memories really were important and would truly help her. I continued to innocently support Anxiety all until that new personality said she wasn't good enough. And then it all hit me, the build up, the seemingly over-excessive efforts, the pressure Riley has had to experience, and the vision of the filmmakers for the movie. And I cried. A weeping, snotty, uncontrollable explosion of emotions that left me shaking and tearing up throughout the whole movie, and still crying on the bus journey home. Something I haven't ever done while watching a film, and haven't done so wildly and bluntly for months on end. This movie is a masterpiece of psychology, cinematography and animation. It opened horizons for me and many teenagers who felt the same, and it let us accept the emotions we so desperately bottled up. Anxiety's unstoppable, unaccomplishable perfectionism that I so easily related to is such an enormous problem that could be mistaken for just ambition, that seeing this movie was the reassurance and support this difficult time definitely needed, at least for me. We will never be "good enough", we are flawed and this movie helped me accept that it's okay. Anxiety ignores all current achievements, everything that makes us great and beautiful, striving to survive and prepare for the future. We can only live in the present and I am forever thankful to this beautiful movie for finding the most perfect metaphor and image to help us understand that. I wanted to express my love for this movie and the hope it gave me for humanity, for the future, and for myself. So thank you, Pixar (especially Mr. Mann and Nielsen), thank you for preserving my childhood and supporting all the kids (and adults) out there going through change.

As a therapist, this movie hit me so hard in the best way. I saw myself and my clients in this movie.

I'm 22, I think the hardest years of my life were 15-17. I hated myself so much that I even left scars on myself thinking I didn't deserve love and wasn't good enough. I hope I can adequately help my future kids with puberty and movies like these certainly help a lot.

I watched this one as a 27 y.o. woman thought it would be funny since it's about puberty Turned out to make me try not to cry in cinema. What a gorgeous and well written film.

As someone who’s struggles currently center around always-present anxiety, extreme hyper-vigilance, constant catastrophizing and PTSD attacks particularly in the last four years, I felt beyond heard in this movie that gives a PERFECT voice to who anxiety really is. This movie was definitely more daring and relatable to adult mental health than the first. I can’t recommend it enough. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you Pixar. Also really proud of the Cinema Therapy duo! You’ve come so far!

And then at age 18, Riley has to make decisions about what she’s to do with her life - she starts society, and her beliefs - queue the wrecking ball once again - a new emotion arrives, and it’s Somber, gradual acceptance, letting go of things, trying to go back to being curious -- Somber quite literally kills all the other new emotions that walked during puberty and hence why the parents don’t have anxiety, embarrassment and Ennui around in their heads anymore

While I was watching the movie, I can feel the hatred towards Anxiety and how she’s messing everything up by projecting fantasies about the future. But during the climax all of those hate turned to compassion when she apologized to Joy and said “I was just trying to protect her.” It’s the way anxiety is and that’s how it views the future. Once you got stuck in that bubble of trying so hard in achieving your goal, everything else gets sidelined. Thanks to this movie, I got reminded that I should reconnect with myself, with who I really am. I just need to absorb and reflect to it.

The things Kelsey said at 27:00 about his younger self and that he smiled less, when he grow up, hit's me hard. I also had that experience with some of my own photos. I just thought: I was such a happy and silly little girl who don't care what other things about me. And than puberty hits an I think to much about what impression I made and what others could think about me. And I think Inside Out 2 showed that feeling perfeclty. I watched the movies a few days ago and I wish I would had in my own teenager time. I think it would help me a lot. But I'm happy to know that it hopefully help a new generation

Just watched it last night!! Wow, as a teenager, it honestly hits pretty hard. I teared up ngl

It's so true that through art the viewer gets to experience healing 😭 it's so powerful and can help so many people understand each other better

"We only tell a story if there is a story worth telling". That is exactly why Pixar is so great. Not every movie is the most amazing thing ever but the story is almost always worth telling. They really care about the characters, which makes the audience care as well. We saw this movie and it was great. They really did a great job handling the story and the new emotions in a thoughtful way.

I just can't get over Anxiety's character design! It reminds me of the style of Aardman Studios, the genius creators behind Wallace and Gromit. No wonder Anxiety has become my new favorite emotion!

As a french girl I adoreeeee Ennui 😂. Adèle is also a very appreciated actress here, so glad to see her in this! Keep up with the amazing work guys. Much love from Paris ❤

My favorite thing both in Inside Out and Inside Out 2, is that Joy has cried, and Sadness has smiled. Our emotions are as fleeting as clouds. We are alive for a moment. This is a beautiful manifestation of life. It's incomplete, but absolutely beautiful and healthy. Amy Poehler was correct for Joy.

I loooove this entire video! You can tell just how much the director and producer cares about this story, these characters, and the concepts they are communicating to an audience. And to have a therapist there is perfect! I love when movies make psychological, abstract concepts into concrete stories. I really want more movies to show the inner workings of our brains in a way that can help us.

I discovered you with your first Inside Out video... It kept showing up in my recomendations, but my androphobia kept telling me "nah, two men, even if they pretend to be nice, in a year or two I'll learn that they are incredibly toxic...", AND I still hadn't seen that movie. After about a month, with the video STILL in my recommendations, I finally asked my partner to watch Inside Out with me, cried like a baby, and finally watched your video. I cried even more, intantly followed you, and started deep diving in your other videos. And I've never left since, and keep linking your videos when talking about some classic movies you covered. That you get THIS kind of promotion with the Inside Out crew, it's magical. And it really show how much impact you have had, and how in touch the Pixar people are that they can see it. Congrats. And I'm AGAIN crying because of all of you (talking to both Pixar and Cineman Therapy here)... I really need to go see Inside Out 2 in theater, and yeah, I agree with Alan, we need other sequels to represent more stages of life... Bonus if the last ones is about Riley's kid to represent early development, and close the circle.

This is so cool, I really hope they make an Inside Out 3 cause this film is so therapeutic and beautiful

As a Minnesotan, I clutched my invisible pearls at the Michigan comment. But yes, this film took a super complex thing as identity and sense of self and explained in a colorful easy to digest way.

I'm chronologically middle-aged and I think this movie is going to resonate with ME super hard, to the point where I kind of wonder if it will be triggering for me. In a lot of ways, I feel parked in my teens in terms of social development - autism has given me many gifts, but this one came with complications - and anxiety tends to be at the console in my head. Most of my everyday thoughts and decisions are driven by either a need to know what I'm getting into - prediction, foreknowledge, preparation, being ready for every possible what-if but especially the worst-case what-ifs - or a need to be liked, be accepted, and not end up being left behind by everyone when they realize they've outgrown me. A lot of my "to be liked" choices are monumentally stupid on some level, and it's SO HARD to remember that my anxiety wants to help when it keeps leading to things like overcommitting, burnout, and really prominent social errors.

What I really love about these movies is that even though we've seen these sorts of stories, kids struggling to adapt to new environments and situations, thousands of times before, but Inside Out (1 and 2) focus on the internal struggle and help the audience understand on a much deeper level. If the movies consisted of just the portions taking place outside of Riley's mind, it would be a serviceable movie; we would have a good enough idea of what's going on with her, but by portraying her emotions and thoughts as something tangible, we can understand and even relate to her to a much greater degree.

I seriously always wondered where my energy or the way I talk comes from. I’ve never had that reflected back at me so perfectly as I have watching anxiety. That’s me. That is how I enter the world. That is perfect.

I thought when I saw the movie and spoilers Putting those memories in the back of her head I thought "oh she's repressing" and then when she lost herself I thought "wow if you repress enough of your memories you lose yourself" and then at the end she can barely find herself in all the repressed memories I thought "if you lose yourself it's hard to find yourself"

That core belief scene is bringing me to tears already, I had an extremely rough childhood with so many people who were disparaging of me and how I was. I could never do wrong. This was what it looked like inside of me, in my mind, except it was full of pain and harsh words and self-hatred as a child going to teenhood. I feel so much sympathy for that version of myself, she had to go through so hard. I can't wait to watch this film. It seems like a movie that would end up meaning so much to me, even then, when the first movie came out, it meant so much to me. People born in the earlier 2000's were exactly Riley's age or close to it, I remember seeing myself in her so much. Wow.

I didn’t cry as much as I did watching the first movie. Only because I felt so triggered by how realistic Anxiety’s portrayal in this second movie. No one could voice this character better than Maya Hawke and with the help of the accurate animation of Anxiety looking very messy with the nervous, anxious big smile she has, it just screams ME!😂 These guys are genius storytellers! I am so happy that now more people will have better picture of what it actually feels like when Anxiety takes over me and sometimes all we need is just an acknowledged hug🥹

Dude, when I came out of the cinema, literally my first thought was: "I can't wait on the Cinema Therapy episode on this movie!" Please do it asap! ♥

seeing Anxiety pulled out Sense of Self and then threw it to the back of mind really stings as someone who had a lack of sense of self 🥲 but the journey to find it back (helped by therapy) is really worth it!

Saw the movie last night. It was incredible. My wife and I audibly said "I feel called out" multiple times. They nailed it.

Saw this in theaters a couple weeks back and I'm not ashamed to say I ugly snot-cried for the last like half an hour of it. This film is INCREDIBLE, as someone with two different anxiety disorders I really really appreciate that Pixar went for the angle of "anxiety isn't evil, she just wants to help and doesn't understand when it's gone too far". Can't wait to see the full breakdown video for this film, I'd love to see y'alls take on the ending!

Just watched the movie today with my friend and we were sobbing! The first movie came out when we were kids and now we went through puberty so it’s kinda like we grew older with riley. So both movies are just sooo meaningful and relatable to us. The second one did not disappoint since it‘s reflecting what we‘d gone through since the first part came out and in that way it‘s very healing. Great job pixar, we need a third part with riley being a young adult!

it means a lot that one of the director's priorities was doing right by the people that loved and the crew that worked on the first one. Pixar rarely turns out a bad sequel because they consistently do that rather than what too many studios other studios do, "first one made money, welp, better make a sequel." the more i learn about psychiatry and neurology, the visuals of Inside Out have such great insight and visualization on these abstract concepts and ideas, it's just so fantastic. oh man and the open invite to see these guys on the follow-up. can't wait

Just fyi, the closed caption default is "Alan: So jealous." When anyone stops speaking, it just says that. Which may be accurate to the emotion, but I'm guessing not accurate to what is being said on screen. :)

I saw this movie last night, and in my humble opinion, they not only nailed this movie,.....they hit it all the way out of the park. It was INCREDIBLE....it was emotional, it was creative, it was STUNNINGLY GORGEOUSLY animated. MY GOD, the creativity and the detail in each scene was just perfection. I LOVED the belief system. I am NOT surprised this movie dethroned Frozen for being the highest grossing animated movie of all time. It totally deserves it. I was extremely impressed.

Anxiety was perfectly illustrated. Also, Embarrassment is so adorable.

Kelsey's story about his birthday photos and the editing of it were really beautiful. Thanks for that guys!

You know you've hit the big time when the people you meet at Pixar don't want you to leave. I bet this is just a dream come true. And how fun!! Nothing wrong with fanboying out like nuts!

One cool detail I liked about Anxiety is her introduction straight up mirrors Riley's first meeting with Valentina, and they both happen simultaneously. Both meeting their idols and wanting to live up to them in their own ways no matter how twisted they are

Saw Inside Out 2 with my kid on opening day. It's amazing. We saw ourselves in the movie respectively. There are some situations that my kid experienced. Long story short, we both were in our feels. A very moving and emotive movie. Anxiety held up a mirror to me in the third act that was a gut punch to my psyche. I feel this will help open up conversations between kids and their parents as much as the first movie did. Might bring a lot of healing. Bring tissues for the laughs and the tears.

15:58 “we only tell a story if there’s a story worth telling” - YES!! ❤ THIS is why we love Pixar so much.

When Anixety ripped out Riley’s sense of self, I turned to my friend in the theatre and said “This movie is going to break me.”

Just watched this film for the first time and immediately came here to see these guys reaction. Anxiety's portrayal felt VERY realistic to me. Looking forward to the full episode!

OH MY GOSH THIS IS AMAZING!! IM SO PROUD

There are no other people than our own TV Dads to interview the team from inside Out 2. Once again you guys nailed it👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰🥰🥰🥰

This is amazing!! So happy you guys got to have this experience!! Thank you for all your amazing content. It was a dream come true meeting you both at Fanx Salt Lake and the Firefly showing in the movie theatre in Provo

The quality of these characters' body language is insane. Their face expressions, how they gesticulate after every word, it's truly art in motion.

A lot of the time when a movie ends with a happily ever after a sequel seems forced, but the reason this is different is because people go through that same all of a sudden the happily ever after changes with puberty.

Coming from someone who grew up with generational trauma this movie is so important for everyone. Growing up during my teenage years I would get belittled, yelled at, shamed, told horrible things about myself etc. for expressing any emotion that a grown up didn’t agree with. Those grown ups were treated the same, even worse, growing up too so it’s all they knew what to do. This movie is really healing.

23:16-23:31 Joy is not happy that her old friends/emotions are liking Anxiety and the new emotions,one of the emotions said "I wish Joy could do that",Joy just wants Riley to be happy
