I love how they don't just make Anxiety a villain. She's a normal emotion who means well like the others, while also showing why it's important to keep it in check.
Yeah. She did want what's best for Riley, until the new core belief said "I'm not good enough!". That gave her a sad and confused expression of "That's... Not what's supposed to happen..." She stressed me the fuck out the whole movie because of what she's doing with Riley, but I liked her as the antagonist.
Yeah and btw her voice actor Maya Hawke struggles with anxiety issues and is autistic she’s one of my favourite actors ever because I relate to her so heavily
Anxiety from Inside Out 2 is the second Pixar antagonist not to be a true villain or evil but just an antagonistic neutral character who reforms at the end after Gabby Gabby in Toy Story 4.
the best part was the ending where anxiety wasn’t defeated, showing how it’s normal to have anxiety as long as it’s managed properly. as a person with anxiety, this movie felt like a hilarious representation of what goes on in my brain and i’m so glad young people get to watch this and see that having anxiety is so valid and normal.
@@compulsive_curiosity woah when did the movie give her an official diagnosis? last i checked, art is subjective and from what i saw, the whole point of the movie was to show how we all have anxiety and that it is normal. i didn’t see any signs that she had bipolar disorder or a manic episode, it seems like it was an anxiety attack and she was just going through lots of anxiety. there’s different levels of anxiety, and you can live with it as long as you know how to manage it
I totally agree, but in the same vein, it sort of highlighted how Envy does not follow the same theme as the others. Disgust and Anger were kinda doing her job anyway, and in my opinion, Envy was more a suck-up/follower than true envy, which is just coveting (and anyone who knows kids would agree that it is an emotion that would be around much earlier than 13 years old! Even Envy's design looks like a child.) I think they should've scrapped Envy, and given her henchman/second-in-command job to Boredom/Ennui since they better highlight social emotions like Anxiety and Embarrassment.
Same, I always felt like a flaw with the first one was that Riley was just a puppet for the emotions and she didn’t have much of a character and felt like a plot device more than anything. Here, Riley felt like her own character and her own person.
I have GAD and the anxiety tornado scene hit so hard. The way that anxiety was completely stuck and frozen to the control panel, keeping all the other emotions out. The fact the tornado kept going even after anxiety let go really showed how anxiety attacks don’t just stop even after you stop consciously worrying. The affects the anxiety has on your body keeps going, which then feeds more into the anxiety. It portrayed anxiety attacks in a way better than I could ever explain
Also the vocal performance gets more and more distraught as the line is repeated in the ensuing scenes so it never really loses it's impact. It's great storytelling.
I love how all of the pre-anxiety beliefs are unconditional, I am kind, I am a good person, they are affirmative statements, while all of anxiety’s beliefs are conditional, IF I make it on the team, IF I sound cool, anxiety makes you unsure, and that is represented great, the only affirmative statement in anxiety’s “new self” is “I am not good enough” which is so very emotional
I learned a lot about this in CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy. That is, therapy by changing your beliefs, and the movie portrays it accurately at the end. Joy decided not to replace the anxious belief system with the positive belief system entirely, because the latter would become too unrealistic and wouldn't allow her to understand her mistakes. Instead, it combined instead and became a more nuanced belief system in understanding that she has both good and bad inside her, but she can always try her best to do more of the good and less of the bad. It's refreshing because people constantly mock the idea of CBT online when they hear about it, because they think it's supposed to teach you to be delusional levels of optimistic, when it's neither trying to make you pessimistic or optimistic, but realistic instead. The glass is both half full and half empty, is how CBT works. (Look up "CBT worksheets," "ANTS (Automatic negative thoughts," or "cognitive distortions," if anyone is curious. Also looking up CBT books may be helpful to do yourself if therapy is not always affordable, so I know I kind of studied it myself and found it oddly helps a lot.)
About the "Joy keeps her character growth" comment: For the whole movie, her goal is to get Riley's original sense of self again. And when she finally gets the opportunity, she realizes she's about to make the same mistake again like in 1: she was too controlling. THAT is character consistency.
There's also the fact that all the other emotions initially hold Sadness back from doing her thing once news gets out that Riley's friends are going to different schools. But once they're out of the car, Joy lets Sadness allow Riley to cry because she needs it. Yep, she learned her lesson in the first film. Good writing too!
@@AzulStryer I liked that the other emotions didn't overcompensate after the lesson either. Like, sure they were holding Sadness back for a moment, like they used to before, but this time they had legit reasons to do so, and they knew when to let go. They didn't just take the lesson from the first movie as "let Sadness go bananas on the console whenever she wants". Sadness shouldn't be bottled up, sure, but she can't be in control all the time either. She is completely essential, but there are also moments when she should be held back for Riley to function. Incidentally, this is the same approach they eventually take to Anxiety. Nice writing!
In the official concept art, Anxiety was originally going to have a Godzilla design, and would grow and shrink based on how severe the situation it is.
I actually kind of like the way they changed Anxiety the more serious the situation was. Like, yeah growing bigger would've been acceptable but getting faster, more frantic, more.. anxious is an insanely good depiction of the swarm of thoughts that real-life anxiety gives you
Also (this is something I swear I saw but cannot find) apparently the third act was gonna have Riley taking Xanax and then Anxiety fades away like Bing Bong in the first film
@@cylnder I think so too. When my anxiety grows millions of indivisual thoughts pop in and out of my head really fast. It doesn't feel like its mass is growing, it feels like it moves faster, though I can't exactly depict what I feel like. The actual growth in size feels more like what fear does to me.
i think it's very interesting how joy and anxiety are sort of parallels. one is seen as positive while the other is seen as negative, but they both end up hurting people unintentionally.
I love how joy actually hurt Riley by making Riley goof off with friends when she should be paying attention. Really shows how sometimes being anxious can help
Honestly, this movie is for me a perfect sequel -Expanded the universe -Continuated the story -Expanded and added new themes -It definitely will leave an impact on the franchise
@@memo7449 think about it -it introduced the doom syndacite and -retconned- expanded Megamind's backstory (expanding the universe) -it showcases him as a hero (continuated the story) -it added new themes such as 'why does this exist?' and 'shoot them with the dehydration gun' (added new themes) -well...you can't say it hasn't left an impact on the franchise
I liked their interpretation of Envy. They didn't take an easy, 'toxic' read of Envy but instead showed how it can still be a healthy emotion (like sadness in the first one). People will want/like/be envious of things, but you don't have to be destructive about it.
@@Shadeadder it would be cool to think that jealousy happens if anger takes control when envy wants something, like a dad spoiling his little princess daughter
@@Shadeadder Actually, Envy on it's own is simply a desire, a wishing for and a longing for things one feels they lack in. Sadness, Anger and Resentment can come along side Envy but that's not what it inherently is. Jealousy is mostly understood as Fear or Anger towards someone or something taking away something that you deeply value, it's not as simple as it seems. Envy and Jealousy aren't the same despite the use of the 2 being used interchangeably for some reason
The animation on anxiety is pitch perfect. She looks like she is barely holding it together, but that she thinks everything is fine. And I don't know why, but the end where Joy moves Anxiety over to her special chair and gives her tea, something about that makes me want to cry and get my own chair and tea
Twitter was trying so hard to make this movie look bad, like they actually lost their mind at the nostalgia character. Completely oblivious to the fact she's a minor gag and not a core emotion.
I’m so glad someone mentioned this. I was expecting that popular girl (don’t remember her name for some reason) to turn out to be a jerk but no. She’s perfectly welcoming to Riley and not mean or condescending. It’s pretty refreshing seeing a “popular” kid not depicted as a bully. Sure a lot of them are jerks but the rest tend to be pretty nice.
What’s also pretty neat is the fact that the scene when they’re talking behind Riley’s back wasn’t even too mean either, they were just commenting about how she wasn’t ready, Anxiety made it seem like it was worse than it was, very accurate to real life!
At first I thought they were, 'cause they kept calling Riley Massachusetts instead of Minnesota, but then I realized that was on her for not correcting them.
It has the best depiction of a panic attack in a film I’ve ever seen, the animation of anexity moving so fast they’re standing still while hitting every button imaginable only for tears to well in their eyes. Like gottamn
@@moonofthebloodhonestly I think inside out 2's anxiety attack is better than puss in boots the last wish's panic attack, it's strange the best showings of panic attacks came from two different animated movie sequels
One thing that I loved about the movie that I haven't seen anyone touch on, is that when joy is in charge the memories are mixed in emotions. However, the moment anxiety takes over, all memories become monocolor again. I like that tying Anxiety to Joy from the first movie.
And Anxiety only uses her memories to create Riley's sense of self, hence why it comes out as an aggressive orange, rather than the original which was a pale blue-green.
You know, I actually think it's okay that some of the emotions, such as Envy, didn't get as much play as others...I mean, isn't that how an actual human works? All of us have our dominate emotions that tend to overtake our personalities and hence our lives...the fact that Envy has such a small role just means that Riley isn't a naturally envious person, and in contrast she feels a great amount of anxiety, which is why Anxiety as a character is able to overtake the control center/her brain, and why Joy is pretty much the dominate emotion over all others. Riley is a naturally Joyous person who feels Anxiety and Sadness very easily, but who is more seldom Envious of others, rarely Angry, sometimes Disgusted, etc. I believe that her unique personality is pretty accurately reflected in the screentime of the various Emotion-characters.
Exactly! I find it interesting how the mom's main emotion is sadness and dad's is anger. It defenitely goes further than just emotions, they are also personalities
Also the times she DOES feel envy, she doesn't let it overtake her mind and tends to handle her envy pretty well in my opinion. Like it's not just that she doesn't feel envious all that often, it's also that her envy is just not that strong or doesn't appear in a more toxic form
SPOILER: The moment when Anxiety started to cry, that was a gut punch, like twelve bricks falling down into my stomach. That is EXACTLY what it feels like to suffer from anxiety, this crushing feeling of doing everything to please others, to fit in and it's still not enough, it can never be enough. That shit was way too real and made me tear up as well. Kudos to Pixar for creating an infuriating antagonist that you still don't want to see suffering because she just can't help herself.
Also, this scene was so well animated. The heartbeats, the panic on Riley face ?? I was about to cry, I related to much on my previous anxiety panic attacks
SAME- I felt everything when she had that anxiety attack because I get so many anxiety attacks back then and now. Especially because the fact she is going to high school and me and my group of friends are all going to high school next year
I feel like envy's fatal flaw is how we view her name. Like, the way she's named leads you to think that she's going to be resentful and harsh, when in the movie all she does is show admiration for specific qualities of her peers, only vaguely wishing for those same qualities to be applied to herself and/or Riley. You rarely ever see her go "Oh.. I hate you because I deeply want what you have", rather its portrayed like "WOW omg.. i love this quality of you !!! i want to apply this trait to myself because its so neat!"
exactly!! people keep saying that she was pointless but she actually fed into anxiety with her dialogue as she would mention how cool some characteristic about someone was and it would lead to anxiety reacting to it with the control panel. like envy saying “we need hair like that!” at the beginning and then anxiety later giving riley the idea to dye her hair like val’s to fit in. like they play into each other really well and that’s the whole point envy is supposed to be subtle because anxiety takes so much control, but envy still has a lot of input
@LuyoloNtozini i think envy is like "i really want to have the same thing you have" and admiration is more "wow that thing you have is really cool" (while not necesarily wanting it for me)
In the artbook they say they thought of having both Envy and Jealousy as identical twins that no one could tell apart, but they dropped it because they were too unlikeable
As someone who is going to school for psychology I really enjoy these movies. They have a lot of subtle and nuanced storytelling in them that relate to real life things. What I loved in this one is that they showed how you try to avoid all your bad memories to stay happy, but at the end of the day knowing what you did wrong in your past can help you become a better person in the future and they did that all through making Riley a new belief system through her bad memories coming back and mixing to make Riley a nee person all while making sure we know that she is now in control of her emotions.
I don't care what anyone else says. Anxiety personified here and having Rileys intense motivation turn into toxic productivity was fucking brilliant and as someone who has dealt with that for my entire life, it made me feel seen.
I really like how they made you care about Riley, she feels like an actual character with her own actions. Throughout the movie her actions made her feel like she was her own person instead of just being a puppet controlled by the emotions
Also as one grows up, they start thinking more logically than emotionally, which is why the emotions don't control her as much until anxiety comes along.
@@Queen_Of_Discord yeah I like how at the end, she can call emotions to the console instead of the emotions deciding for her. it's a nice way to communicate that Riley is in control of her emotions now
Inside out 2 felt like it should continue further. I wanted more and I want to see Riley continue to grow. I think everyone loves seeing the parents minds and it would be really cool to see how people age
I wish it wasn't targeted for kids so we could see more mature events in adulthood like marriage, money, divorce, job interviews, family and kids, mid-life crisis etc. Maybe kids would be confused or bored with these themes. But I believe in Pixar, they made adulthood interesting for everyone in Incredibles.
@@semnome9536 yes but it seems like Riley is a classic coming of age stories where she has grown up throughout the story. I feel as more movies are made we’ll see her come into early adolescence and adulthood with more mature themes to be discussed
@@leonidas6330a lot of the camera work made me get "ohmygoshthey'resohot" vibes from Riley with the hockey girl, if it's romantic, (which let's be honest that was definately the vibe most think of when they think "teenage main character" or coming of age) I'm thinking our girl is into girls, or possibly bi
This movie won me over simply because it gave the best presentation on what an anxiety attack is really like! Everybody talks about the pounding chest and the rapid breathing, but another overlooked part of what makes them intense is the fact that a lot of your negative memories, even ones you've gotten over a long time ago, seem to resurface and begin to pile up. Making the attack bigger. When I saw this start to happen in this movie, I have never felt so spoken to in my life!
Nah. An anxiety attack has you in actual fear of death. Is an oppressive feeling in your head, you feel your arms burning, and you believe you will die at any second. That wasn't portrayed at all. What the movie is showing is the girl having a mental breakdown. Only thing remotely realistic that was shown is how you can actually stop the anxiety/panic attacks with just willforce abd thinking. I had panic attacks for 2 months, and it was awful. One day, it hit me on the street, and it felt awful, i swire to myself that i wasn't going to live like that and it stopped. After that, i never had one again: clean in more than 10 years
@@easyygo3008not every anxiety attack is the same while your anxiety attacks may feel like that others are going to be more like what was depicted in the movie
@@easyygo3008 ? It was a good presentation of some people’s anxiety attacks. Not everybody has the same anxiety attacks this movie is a good depiction of what SOME people experience
Can't wait to introduce the new emotion 'Stress' where she stresses out about how she can ever defeat four villains at once, instead of using the Dehydration Gun.
it's a minor detail, but i love how when anxiety first shows up, we can see joy resist the urge to discourage anxiety from getting involved with the control board. it really shows that she learned her lesson from the first movie and doesn't plan to make the same mistake
Inside out 2 is the only modern Pixar sequel that feels ACTUALLY necessary. Since it explores upon the mind of a Teenager as opposed to the mind of a Child the first movie established. It just makes *sense.*
Ok he said it wasn't as emotional but dude. The line "Maybe as you grow you feel less joy," was just- I really don't know what to say but ow. I feel like we all might've thought that once in our lives.
My favourite thing about that line is that they kind of refute it later in the movie, when the console calls for Joy because despite everything Riley still needs her. Sure, growing up often means coming to terms with harsh truths and losing the rose-tinted glasses, but it doesn't mean you're doomed to a life of misery and cynicism.
@@sonicpoweryayit hit even harder for me. If you say it once to yoursef, you may realise it was stupid and get over it... but once you repeat it over and over again it BECOMES what YOU ARE
6:10 I gotta be totally honest... I think this movie _is_ that good The scene with Anxiety flashing in the storm and not being able to do anything but cry genuinely gave me more heartache then I've ever had in a movie... I adore this movie.
like it genuinely frightened when i watched anxiety move faster and faster on the console trying to fix Riley even though Riley was only getting worse and worse and she became a TORNADO that was covering her vision and flinging her other emotions around it was just. so good. and i related to it so hard
@@spacey_po8666Exactly. The detail of anxiety shedding a tear was also a nice touch. In the end, she just wanted it to stop. But couldn't do it on her own.
when i watched the first on at 13, while i loved it, i thought it was a bit weird how Riley sort of appeared as a "robot" or "puppet". we didn't see much of her personality besides liking hockey and being depressed about moving. this time it's nice to see more of her core self with her even resisting taking the notebook
I feel like there’s room for a 3rd movie, maybe when Riley is an older teenager or even early 20s as these can be a big point in someone’s life. Adapting into adulthood would work for an inside out movie I feel
I would even go further: there’s also room for a 4th movie where she is slowly aging and facing the truth that her life is soon gonna end. Pixar is a studio that i trust to make this concept work.
I wouldn't mind seeing them tactical dark issues like depression and other problems depressions bring as pg as it could possibly be mainly because i feel we should strive to explain and help people that are possibly going through those feelings currently. But i know disney would never do it because money and it wouldn't be family friendly.
@@theeytsher4810ehhh i feel like thats a bit too much. Its one of those crackpot ideas that play into the sad elements of pixar too much. Its too fanfictiony
I loved it when Anxiety was portrayed like another form of fear. Fear is like a response to what happens currently like it triggers your fight or flight response while Anxiety is a worry that something COULD happen like in the future or something. To sum up correctly, Anxiety is designed to keep us vigilant of what COULD happen and fear is designed to keep you vigilant of what is already happening.
I believe the film says that Fear is the emotion responding to what you can perceive in the moment and Anxiety is the emotion responding to what you can't perceive? I believe?
I've had a severe anxiety disorder since I was 9 years old and its taken over my life. I'm 17 years old now and i cried like a baby throughout the film, I honestly felt so understood and now i can visualise my anxiety and know how to help her. I really needed this, 100% recommend for anyone with GAD, it's worth a watch
i usually don’t cry at movies, but this one tore me apart, especially at the part where riley was having an anxiety attack. i’ve been in very similar situations like that before and my anxiety just took over me, i couldn’t do anything but panic and sob. it was a very relatable part for me and i felt so hard for her. i actually started to cry, i had to wipe my face and hold back more tears 😭😭
agree at a 100%, I got GAD since my preteens and I'm working hard on it but gosh it was such a good portrayal of anxiety. I took a deep breath with Riley when the attack finally passed and it felt refreshing !!!
That scene where Anxiety was commanding everyone in imagination land over the big screen to make up the worst possible outcomes was literally "1984". Am I the only one who thought of that while watching in the theatre?
They were literally mocking that old Apple ad from the 80s where the lady throws the hammer at the screen. The commercial was directed by Ridley Scott.
Pixar really needed this one. I went to the theater 3 times to see it, only for it to be sold out. Eventually I just bought a ticket 5 hours in advance. The theater was cram-packed, and they needed extra staff guarding the entrances to make sure that no one snuck in without a ticket.
😂😂😂very funny happy the only part watched of Velma was when scrappy doo killed Velma and I watched a few reviews that’s enough for me I’m not hate watching for season 3
coming from the perspective of someone who has a very bad anxiety disorder, I think the way they portrayed anxiety in the movie was amazing. the scene showing Riley having an anxiety attack legit made me tear up in the theater because it was such a good way to describe what that feels like.
The vault scenes and characters had me fucking 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 really enjoy Joy and Sadness’ interactions in the sequel. It feels like a massive step up from the first where Joy didn’t want anything to do with Sadness. But in Inside Out 2, Joy is always hearing Sadness out, puts more of her faith in her when it came to the conflict, and their relationship took a natural progression from where it left off. I’m just grateful they didn’t take the Ralph 2 route where the main duo’s friendship is like pretty much reset after the first.
I’m a person going into high school, and I play hockey, and I just have to say, WOW. This movie like, read my brain and printed it into a feature length film. The hockey scenes were action-packed, and the scenes talking about how you push yourself too hard, and you doubt yourself, I mean just OOH ITS SO GOOD This movie couldn’t have come out at a better time in my life.
I like to look at the 2 movies this way: Inside Out 1 was a bigger story during a trivial time in Riley’s life. Inside Out 2 is a smaller story during a pivotal time in Riley’s life.
@@Fernball21 That makes it the bigger story, but Riley was still a child. Now she’s a teenager, and naturally her body and her mentality is going through major changes.
@@Fernball21her being 11 makes it pretty trivial because while she was connected to MN, she was so young and won’t have the same resonance with it since she didn’t have a lot of friends or family holding here there. on the other hand trying to make friends and make the team for high school which can lead to her college career is a much bigger part of her life because she’s older and things have more resonance and importance now yk?
As a 32yo who only recently dealt with my first panic attack last month, this movie resonated with me. The panic attack felt just like how this movie visualized, down to how Joy couldn't even touch her for a bit to help stop it.
not to be That Guy ☝️🤓 but what the movie depicted was an anxiety attack, not a panic attack. the two terms are similar, but they're totally different things. panic attacks come at random and are often more intense (often feel like a stroke/heart attack) while anxiety attacks are responses to a perceived threat (which, in this case, is the buildup of riley feeling like she's not good enough as a friend/hockey player, etc.)
@peachii3124 Ahh, okay. I wasn't aware that there were anxiety attacks. Then yes, I had an anxiety attack. Thank you for not being that guy and teaching me the difference. :)
Honestly, the first Pixar movie to make me cry, but not for the moment you think. The part where Riley had to pretend she didn’t like her favourite band, because all the other girls thought it was for kids and made her feel bad for liking it. When I was young, I was obsessed with Monster High, had all the dolls, knew every little encyclopaedic fact about ever character. Then when I went to secondary school. I brought up Monster High in front of other girls and they said it was for babies, and I pretended I thought they were for babies too. Then when I started hanging out with mostly boys, I brought up Monster High one day and a guy talked about how annoying the commercials were and how ugly and girly the dolls were, and I had to pretend like Riley that I didn’t like them either. Eventually, it got to a point where anything pink or sparkly or silly or remotely girly or childish that I liked had to be kept a secret, because I was desperate to not be alone. It’s such a weirdly specific thing that feels very individual, yet I think almost everyone has experienced something like that. The fear that your interests are too “silly” or “childish” or that you won’t fit in because of them is weirdly universal, and I’m so happy this film touched on it. TLDR: This movie made me cry and Monster High is incredible.
I was pleasantly surprised how they portrayed anxiety. I feared it would be treated childishly but they handled it very well. I could feel how anxiety was both necessary and harmful simultaneously.
He kept bringing her up 24/7 and one scene showed him look'n all uwu when talking about her. I find that funny bc I recall the people who worked on the first film shipped Fear and Disgust back then
I didn't see wny trailers or know anything about the plot beforehand beyond "Riley's a teenager with new emotions," so I really had zero idea what to expect going in. I was super impressed that they juggled the Joy team, Anxiety team, and Riley life plots so well and kept them all compelling and meaningful pretty much the entire way through. I also appreciate that they didn't take any easy outs to resolve the storylines. They didn't make Anxiety straight-up evil and have the other emotions "win" by locking her away, they had her realize her mistake organically and integrate with the group in a health way. They didn't turn Riley's friends bitter and mean so that Riley could just break things off with them. Thry didn't even have the friends or the other emotions forcibly pull Riley out of her anxiety attack. They were there for her, and Joy did get Anxiety to let go, but ultimately Riley was able to steady herself and make things right. I also spent the entire movie dreading a twist villain reveal that Val was just pretending to be Riley's friend and I'm SO glad that didn't happen
I like how, similarly to the 'cool girls' in the first movie looking concerned rather than judgemental when Riley cried, the stuff Riley overhears the firehawks saying isn't actually mean. Riley feels bad about what she hears because they bring up her mistakes, but the other girls aren't actually mocking her. They criticise what she did wrong but they also compare her to themselves and start reminiscing. Riley zeroes in on what they said about her, but the conversation isn't actually about her for very long. I dunno exactly where I'm going with this, I guess I'm just glad they aren't mean girl stereotypes.
@@SingingWithMyself-Frozen holy shit, you are kinda right about it when you say it like that. When I watched the movie I always thought that the cool girls were kinda assholes, but what you said makes more sense
Fun fact: Bing Bong actually DOES make a cameo in this movie as well. There’s a little figurine of him in Joy’s room when the main five emotions are sleeping.
Let's not get our hopes up too high: DreamWorks looked like they had made a large comeback with "The Bad Guys" and "The Last Wish", but then we got a forgettable box-office bomb, a mediocre sequel, and an insultingly bad sequel
@@MorganKing95 ''these studios made a few bad movies after countless groundbreaking ones, let's reject the idea that they can ever make a good one again!''
The world building was great in this movie. The idea of our gang literally becoming suppressed emotions, Anxiety spreading her influence to everywhere in Riley’s head, and the belief system were all great. This felt like a genuine continuation of the original as opposed to a shameless cash grab.
i actually had an anxiety attack recently, like, days before I saw the film. it was still lingering for those days, risking spiraaling out of control every moment i thought about it. but seeing inside out 2 really helped me. their portrayal of an anxiety attack simultaniously made me feel validated, the analogy helped me understand what was happening to me, and most importantly, I'm not alone. its a normal thing to go through. gave me hope i could bounce back. thanks to that hope, I did (mostly) still working on it. i basically got a therapy session for the price of a movie theater ticket.
SPOILER: One of the funniest moments for me in the movie was when they showed that one guy in the vault that looked like a final fantasy character. Not only because of his power up and whatnot, but mainly because he looked like he was made of DS graphics
I think Inside Out has the most potential for sequels, because of how emotions evolve with age. Meanwhile, Cars 2 is like... nah, lets just make Goldfinger for kids
What’s funny is that Cars 3 literally DID base its plot on the technological evolution of cars, so they got it right there, it just took them a massive fumble first.
the only real problem that I have with this movie, and it's not even a real citicism, is that it could have been a bigger story, set in high school, with Riley grappling multiple facets of being a teenager, instead they went with a smaller, more contained setting and confronted only one aspect of adolescence, the anxiety of fitting in and constructing a fake personality to be accepted. Thus it feels a smaller movie compared to the first one. The real, actual criticism I have is that the third act emotional breakpoint is too similar to the one of the previous movie, Joy sitting among the memory orbs and understanding her mistakes
yea honestly i had really high expectations for the plot for inside out 2, they only showed her interactions in a hockey game but there would have been so much more potential if it was in a highschool setting with experience a 13 year old girl universally goes through
Another reason I want an Inside Out 3: If it would be the last in a trilogy, I'd love for it to go all the way into Riley as an old woman. And when her time is almost up, the other emotions finally let Nostalgia control the console, as Riley flashes back through every event in her life before headquarters starts slowly shutting down. It might be a little too sad, but since this is the same studio that made Up, it might not be too far-fetched.
I think it would be better if they had her in early adulthood. Being an old woman would be too far. Plus this movie takes place in 2017, so it would make sense for it to be present day and 2022-2023
I really like how the movie handled Anxiety as a character. While she definitely is the main antagonist of the film she isn’t a straight up villain, she genuinely thinks that what she and the other new emotions are doing is what's best for Riley, not realising that it's actually doing more harm then good. They could've easily just made her a villian who actively wanted to hurt Riley, but they took a more nuance take on having anxiety still be an important emotion a lot of us have and struggle with but also show the importance of keeping it in check She really does remind me of Joy in the first film, both mean well with wanting what they think is best for Riley, but they don't realise that how they are going at it isn't just harming the other emotions that they believe aren't as important (for Joy it's Sadness and for Anxiety it's the orignal emotions) but is also causing more harm to Riley and her mental health, its only when they see just how much Riley is suffering because of their actions that they try and fix their mistakes
No scene in this movie give me that goosebump heart break like the scene where Bing Bong jumps off the sleigh in the first movie. But the emotions in this movie still resonates in a different way. In the first movie it hits so hard is because it's the point of no return without her even knowing it, and we could tell that her childhood has started to end. In the second, the sadness is a milestone that Riley has reached in her journey, it's memorable and she's more aware of herself as a person. It's something scary and painful but bittersweet.
The sad thing about this movie being good. is that Disney is gonna take the wrong message away from this thing, and that people just want to see sequels instead of good stories.
As much as I would normally agree with you…. I think I’d much rather have good sequels than whatever original garbage they’ve been putting out recently 😭 (Wish, Lightyear, Strange World)
@@kbanghart You heard wrong. Wish was a box office failure. The villain was one of the worst of all time, and the songs and music was really mediocre compared to most Disney works. I have no idea where you get your statistics from though.
This movie was the last straw for me. If it was bad, or even average, all my faith for Pixar would be gone. If it was great, some of my faith would be restored. It ended up succeeding for me, even more than I could’ve hoped for, despite its flaws. It feels grand and has some really good jokes. Anger saying “kill me” actually made me laugh out loud. Edit: last CHANCE I’m an idiot
@@SonOfMiltank I dunno either, but maybe something like last chance would have made a bit more sense. Last straw to me sounds like you hated it and will never return to Pixar. Last chance makes it seem like this movie was their make or break moment, and they succeeded, which sounds like what your point was
The potential for sequels with the world they created is insane, i never get tired of seeing the crazy clever stuff they come up with to explain our minds (ie. the brainstorm bit) and theres an endless amount of emotions and challenges that they can incorporate.
Honestly, I loved Envy, especially her dynamic with Anxiety. Hawke and Edebiri worked off each other so well that I swore that some of the dialogue between them sounded improvised. They have that dummy hero/villain and sidekick dynamic down pat.
I watched Inside Out 2 in the movie theaters and omg I actually cried. It was sooo good and the scene where Anxiety turns into a storm and Joy enters the storm broooo… I think I cried because of how relatable the whole thing felt. Riley saying “I’m not good enough.” And Anxiety oml I love her a lot.
I love the scene with Riley’s breakdown so much because I genuinely relate to it. I nearly cried because it was such an amazing representation of how I felt in that moment. I’m so glad it was made so well.
It’s funny, I don’t care too much for the designs of the other new Emotions but Anxiety looks GREAT. The baggage is funny, the frazzled nerve-hair fits their vibe and habitat within a human brain, and their default expression is PERFECT. Maybe I’ll see this, just for them!
The neat part is that this concept has some more legs left still. I’m imagining the idea of Grief being represented as some huge grey giant that takes over the whole brain control console, or a mega corporation that makes the inside of Riley’s head all gloomy.
Yesss I said in another comment that grief and nostalgia could come together after Riley experiences a major loss in her life, though what I think would be more interesting is if it's Riley herself and her self destructive coping mechanisms that they're fighting with. She grows more autonomy with age so it would build upon this movie's themes to learn the concept of harm reduction and that sometimes they will have to let her hurt herself in the long term to deal with the pain of the present, dealing with cycles of improvement and backsliding, but they can still guide her towards better options (led by anxiety's calculations). Self loathing and despair could also be separate emotions though despair is quite close to anxiety
Dude….. literally was in theaters watching the movie as you were publishing this. That scene where all the emotions form Riley’s new sense of self and she apologizes to her friends for everything got me ugly crying 😭
Definitely! I enjoyed the original, but I always felt it was overrated. Many of my complaints about the original, Riley not being that interesting, Sadness being unbelievably annoying, and the other emotions not playing as much of a role in the story, were all fixed in the sequel, on top of the new emotions, which were arguably more interesting than the original emotes and an overall touching message about dealing with anxiety and the inevitably of diminishing joy, ultimately requiring you to find a balance to live a happy life.
@@madmanonyt9943 exactly like the first one will always have a special place in my heart and will always be one of my fav animated movies ever but i genuinly think this one is better
i initially had no intention of seeing this movie, and only went because my boyfriend's little brother asked if we could take him to go see it. it was a veey pleasant surprise! more mature and "real" than i thought it'd be, but it didn't take itself more seriously than it should. anxiety'a character was the biggest surprise to me. from the trailers, i was worried she'd be characterized as the "quirky" version of anxiety. very glad they took her seriously in that aspect.
I think the portrayal of anxiety and the entire films lesson on emotions was really good, the jokes landed for me, and it was an awesome experience in theaters. I actually loved it more than the original, I found myself genuinely laughing at the jokes like when fear says “I can fix her,” 8/10 would watch again.
@@nicolasrestrepo6177 It does leave a plot hole as to why there weren't any sar-chasms in the first movie, but I suppose you could argue she wasn't being sarcastic, she was just physically incapable of feeling joy at the time, so she could only acknowledge things in a sarcastic tone.
@@Honkious5824 it also just doesnt make sense, why would being sarcastic sever your stream of thought? it just felt like a lazy obstacle that comes out of nowhere with no logical or thematic reasoning, its just a pun :/
@user-ke5bt8qo9w It could also be because the stream of consciousness is meant to represent the thought process/the flow of ideas, thoughts, and feelings. She's being sarcastic about loving a band, yet she is a fan of the band. Therefore, she is lying and acting like someone she isn't. She's just starting to act like someone she isn't in general, along with going through a lot of changes, due to puberty and anxiety taking over. Perhaps that is why the stream of consciousness started to collapse. Idk, maybe someone else can explain it better than me, but, that's all I got, at the moment
SPOILERS Naw, the 'Anxiety attack' scene from the movie will always hit me so hard. It is so relatable. The hand on the chest, the leg shaking on the floor, the aggressive breathing. Dang, I just can't get enough it, I just CAN'T! The score was even excellent there. Other parts of the movie were amazing of course, but the 'Anxiety attack' scene is the blueprint of how we sometimes deal with emotions, and is personally my favorite scene of the movie.
It also makes me wonder if Riley was ever watching YTPs of Bloofy at some point. That’s the only way I can think of that Pouchy having dynamite would be in her head
i watched inside out 1 and 2 back to back, and they’re essentially a part 1 and part 2. it’s such a smooth continuation, and a necessary sequel since a lot of the people who were riley’s age when the first movie came out are teenagers now. it’s a real monsters university situation, but even more necessary
i would love an inside out 3 about her moving away to college and the emotions that come with that, almost a full circle moment to the first movie when she moves away
I love how Alma and Anxiety are the antagonists of their respected movies and the difference is that one was trying to protect the miracle for Decades while the other was literally just born yesterday trying to protect Riley
My favorite part of the movie was anxiety, I liked how they represented that not only in a destructive way, it also shows the positive side, the need to prepare and think about the future, but that cannot be your only way of thinking. I loved the scene where Anxiety froze on the control panel, it legitimately made me feel very empathetic, because that kind of thing can happen, not literally, just the emotion that it conveyed. I liked it more than the first.
Inside Out: Child Riley (2015) Inside Out 2: Teenager Riley (2024) Inside Out 3: Young Adult Riley (2034) Inside Out 4: Riley in her Mid-Life Crisis (2045) Inside Out 5: Old Riley (2055) Inside Out 6: Riley's Death (2060)
as someone who struggles with anxiety and is an overly envious person, this movie made me BAWL! For me, envy and anxiety were perfectly characterized as emotion-people. I absolutely adored the film and enjoyed it more than the first Inside Out. I love how it builds and is more complex than the first. That being said, I totally understand why people would enjoy Inside Out 1 more! Honestly, I am just happy that it was a sequel that expanded on concepts too, rather than be the same story as the first!

I love how they don't just make Anxiety a villain. She's a normal emotion who means well like the others, while also showing why it's important to keep it in check.
Exactly, and the way they portrayed it is so clever.
Yes, I really appreciate that they chose that direction. It feels more realistic and nuanced.
Yeah. She did want what's best for Riley, until the new core belief said "I'm not good enough!". That gave her a sad and confused expression of "That's... Not what's supposed to happen..."
She stressed me the fuck out the whole movie because of what she's doing with Riley, but I liked her as the antagonist.
She’s the antagonist, doesn’t make her the villain and im glad they realized that distinction
Yeah and btw her voice actor Maya Hawke struggles with anxiety issues and is autistic she’s one of my favourite actors ever because I relate to her so heavily
the scene where saddness took over the console to let riley cry as joy says "riley needs this" is the kind pf developement i wanna see more
Except for raya....
Frrr
What's wrong@@AvidYTuser
Yeah, I was worried that they were gonna gloss over all the character development from the first movie. Really glad they didn't.
Anxiety from Inside Out 2 is the second Pixar antagonist not to be a true villain or evil but just an antagonistic neutral character who reforms at the end after Gabby Gabby in Toy Story 4.
the best part was the ending where anxiety wasn’t defeated, showing how it’s normal to have anxiety as long as it’s managed properly. as a person with anxiety, this movie felt like a hilarious representation of what goes on in my brain and i’m so glad young people get to watch this and see that having anxiety is so valid and normal.
bro that wasn't normal managed anxiety, she was having a bipolar manic episode rofl
@@compulsive_curiosity woah when did the movie give her an official diagnosis? last i checked, art is subjective and from what i saw, the whole point of the movie was to show how we all have anxiety and that it is normal. i didn’t see any signs that she had bipolar disorder or a manic episode, it seems like it was an anxiety attack and she was just going through lots of anxiety. there’s different levels of anxiety, and you can live with it as long as you know how to manage it
I love how they gave anxiety her own special chair at the end with tea and everything
I totally agree, but in the same vein, it sort of highlighted how Envy does not follow the same theme as the others. Disgust and Anger were kinda doing her job anyway, and in my opinion, Envy was more a suck-up/follower than true envy, which is just coveting (and anyone who knows kids would agree that it is an emotion that would be around much earlier than 13 years old! Even Envy's design looks like a child.)
I think they should've scrapped Envy, and given her henchman/second-in-command job to Boredom/Ennui since they better highlight social emotions like Anxiety and Embarrassment.

One thing I liked is that Riley feels more like her own character and the emotions are just reacting to her actions rather than telling her what to do
It makes sense considering shes older though
Same, I always felt like a flaw with the first one was that Riley was just a puppet for the emotions and she didn’t have much of a character and felt like a plot device more than anything. Here, Riley felt like her own character and her own person.
Like where Envy says "you are overwhelming her!"
It did make me think a lot about free will, although i preferred the first films take on it...
@@FrogcovenIt makes sense though, that's usually how children behave
I have GAD and the anxiety tornado scene hit so hard. The way that anxiety was completely stuck and frozen to the control panel, keeping all the other emotions out. The fact the tornado kept going even after anxiety let go really showed how anxiety attacks don’t just stop even after you stop consciously worrying. The affects the anxiety has on your body keeps going, which then feeds more into the anxiety. It portrayed anxiety attacks in a way better than I could ever explain
Anxiety being literally everywhere and yet completely stuck on the control panel was so perfect
When Riley's beliefs started shouting "Im not good enough!" Because of Anxiety is bone-chilling. Some unresolved issues were dug-up in that situation
And the shock and confusion on Anxiety's face, it's so good!
I burst into tears at that scene. I told myself that every day as a teenager. It really hit close to home for me 😢
Also the vocal performance gets more and more distraught as the line is repeated in the ensuing scenes so it never really loses it's impact. It's great storytelling.
no because when NEGATIVE memories started being foundational to her self perception... felt... way too felt
and the fact that anxiety was shocked at that- showing that it’s not what she wanted
I love how all of the pre-anxiety beliefs are unconditional, I am kind, I am a good person, they are affirmative statements, while all of anxiety’s beliefs are conditional, IF I make it on the team, IF I sound cool, anxiety makes you unsure, and that is represented great, the only affirmative statement in anxiety’s “new self” is “I am not good enough” which is so very emotional
I learned a lot about this in CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy. That is, therapy by changing your beliefs, and the movie portrays it accurately at the end. Joy decided not to replace the anxious belief system with the positive belief system entirely, because the latter would become too unrealistic and wouldn't allow her to understand her mistakes. Instead, it combined instead and became a more nuanced belief system in understanding that she has both good and bad inside her, but she can always try her best to do more of the good and less of the bad.
It's refreshing because people constantly mock the idea of CBT online when they hear about it, because they think it's supposed to teach you to be delusional levels of optimistic, when it's neither trying to make you pessimistic or optimistic, but realistic instead. The glass is both half full and half empty, is how CBT works. (Look up "CBT worksheets," "ANTS (Automatic negative thoughts," or "cognitive distortions," if anyone is curious. Also looking up CBT books may be helpful to do yourself if therapy is not always affordable, so I know I kind of studied it myself and found it oddly helps a lot.)

About the "Joy keeps her character growth" comment:
For the whole movie, her goal is to get Riley's original sense of self again. And when she finally gets the opportunity, she realizes she's about to make the same mistake again like in 1: she was too controlling. THAT is character consistency.
LITERALLLYYYY
I adore sequels that build upon the original and this is one of them
fr. Such a good and realistic growth
There's also the fact that all the other emotions initially hold Sadness back from doing her thing once news gets out that Riley's friends are going to different schools.
But once they're out of the car, Joy lets Sadness allow Riley to cry because she needs it.
Yep, she learned her lesson in the first film. Good writing too!
@@AzulStryer I liked that the other emotions didn't overcompensate after the lesson either. Like, sure they were holding Sadness back for a moment, like they used to before, but this time they had legit reasons to do so, and they knew when to let go. They didn't just take the lesson from the first movie as "let Sadness go bananas on the console whenever she wants". Sadness shouldn't be bottled up, sure, but she can't be in control all the time either. She is completely essential, but there are also moments when she should be held back for Riley to function.
Incidentally, this is the same approach they eventually take to Anxiety. Nice writing!
In the official concept art, Anxiety was originally going to have a Godzilla design, and would grow and shrink based on how severe the situation it is.
I actually kind of like the way they changed Anxiety the more serious the situation was. Like, yeah growing bigger would've been acceptable but getting faster, more frantic, more.. anxious is an insanely good depiction of the swarm of thoughts that real-life anxiety gives you
THAT WOULD'VE BEEN AWESOME
I'm Tito!
Also (this is something I swear I saw but cannot find) apparently the third act was gonna have Riley taking Xanax and then Anxiety fades away like Bing Bong in the first film
@@cylnder I think so too. When my anxiety grows millions of indivisual thoughts pop in and out of my head really fast. It doesn't feel like its mass is growing, it feels like it moves faster, though I can't exactly depict what I feel like. The actual growth in size feels more like what fear does to me.
Inside Out coming out NINE years ago is such a freaking crazy fact, like I watched this movie when I was 9 and I cried. 😭

i think it's very interesting how joy and anxiety are sort of parallels. one is seen as positive while the other is seen as negative, but they both end up hurting people unintentionally.
To add onto that, both can be very good in moderation.

I liked their interpretation of Envy. They didn't take an easy, 'toxic' read of Envy but instead showed how it can still be a healthy emotion (like sadness in the first one). People will want/like/be envious of things, but you don't have to be destructive about it.
Indeed. Envy can manifest in admiration or jealousy. I’m glad they left it open like that.
@@Shadeadder Its not that straightforward but its true people usually do mention this distinction, tho its the opposite I believe
@@Shadeadder it would be cool to think that jealousy happens if anger takes control when envy wants something, like a dad spoiling his little princess daughter
the fact that envy is short because jealousy makes us feel small literally made my jaw drop to the floor the second i realized it
@@Shadeadder Actually, Envy on it's own is simply a desire, a wishing for and a longing for things one feels they lack in. Sadness, Anger and Resentment can come along side Envy but that's not what it inherently is. Jealousy is mostly understood as Fear or Anger towards someone or something taking away something that you deeply value, it's not as simple as it seems. Envy and Jealousy aren't the same despite the use of the 2 being used interchangeably for some reason
The animation on anxiety is pitch perfect. She looks like she is barely holding it together, but that she thinks everything is fine.
And I don't know why, but the end where Joy moves Anxiety over to her special chair and gives her tea, something about that makes me want to cry and get my own chair and tea
I loved the tea's name: Anxi Tea. Perfect 😂👌

It’s pretty refreshing seeing a “popular” kid not depicted as a bully.
Sure a lot of them are jerks but the rest tend to be pretty nice.
What’s also pretty neat is the fact that the scene when they’re talking behind Riley’s back wasn’t even too mean either, they were just commenting about how she wasn’t ready, Anxiety made it seem like it was worse than it was, very accurate to real life!

"...none of them hold the candle to Bing Bong..."

It’s a shame he didn’t notice there was a bing bon figure in joys bed cubby thing
He was never forgotten
One thing that I loved about the movie that I haven't seen anyone touch on, is that when joy is in charge the memories are mixed in emotions. However, the moment anxiety takes over, all memories become monocolor again. I like that tying Anxiety to Joy from the first movie.
And Anxiety only uses her memories to create Riley's sense of self, hence why it comes out as an aggressive orange, rather than the original which was a pale blue-green.
This is how you do a sequel not like the Megaman 2 sequel
You know, I actually think it's okay that some of the emotions, such as Envy, didn't get as much play as others...I mean, isn't that how an actual human works? All of us have our dominate emotions that tend to overtake our personalities and hence our lives...the fact that Envy has such a small role just means that Riley isn't a naturally envious person, and in contrast she feels a great amount of anxiety, which is why Anxiety as a character is able to overtake the control center/her brain, and why Joy is pretty much the dominate emotion over all others. Riley is a naturally Joyous person who feels Anxiety and Sadness very easily, but who is more seldom Envious of others, rarely Angry, sometimes Disgusted, etc. I believe that her unique personality is pretty accurately reflected in the screentime of the various Emotion-characters.
Exactly! I find it interesting how the mom's main emotion is sadness and dad's is anger. It defenitely goes further than just emotions, they are also personalities
Also the times she DOES feel envy, she doesn't let it overtake her mind and tends to handle her envy pretty well in my opinion. Like it's not just that she doesn't feel envious all that often, it's also that her envy is just not that strong or doesn't appear in a more toxic form
SPOILER:
The moment when Anxiety started to cry, that was a gut punch, like twelve bricks falling down into my stomach. That is EXACTLY what it feels like to suffer from anxiety, this crushing feeling of doing everything to please others, to fit in and it's still not enough, it can never be enough. That shit was way too real and made me tear up as well. Kudos to Pixar for creating an infuriating antagonist that you still don't want to see suffering because she just can't help herself.
Also, this scene was so well animated. The heartbeats, the panic on Riley face ?? I was about to cry, I related to much on my previous anxiety panic attacks
WHEN ANXIETY CRIED, I FELT THAT FR 😭😭😭
SAME- I felt everything when she had that anxiety attack because I get so many anxiety attacks back then and now. Especially because the fact she is going to high school and me and my group of friends are all going to high school next year
I wouldn't say anxiety is trying to fit in, that's a you problem
Fr! I suffer from anxiety and I literally balled my eyes out. They depicted anxiety so well my new favorite movie
I feel like envy's fatal flaw is how we view her name. Like, the way she's named leads you to think that she's going to be resentful and harsh, when in the movie all she does is show admiration for specific qualities of her peers, only vaguely wishing for those same qualities to be applied to herself and/or Riley. You rarely ever see her go "Oh.. I hate you because I deeply want what you have", rather its portrayed like "WOW omg.. i love this quality of you !!! i want to apply this trait to myself because its so neat!"
exactly!! people keep saying that she was pointless but she actually fed into anxiety with her dialogue as she would mention how cool some characteristic about someone was and it would lead to anxiety reacting to it with the control panel. like envy saying “we need hair like that!” at the beginning and then anxiety later giving riley the idea to dye her hair like val’s to fit in. like they play into each other really well and that’s the whole point envy is supposed to be subtle because anxiety takes so much control, but envy still has a lot of input
@LuyoloNtozini i think envy is like "i really want to have the same thing you have" and admiration is more "wow that thing you have is really cool" (while not necesarily wanting it for me)
In the artbook they say they thought of having both Envy and Jealousy as identical twins that no one could tell apart, but they dropped it because they were too unlikeable
I like how she show traits of both Jealousy and admiration
most of it comes from christianity seeing envy as a sin, thus it being villainized
As someone who is going to school for psychology I really enjoy these movies. They have a lot of subtle and nuanced storytelling in them that relate to real life things. What I loved in this one is that they showed how you try to avoid all your bad memories to stay happy, but at the end of the day knowing what you did wrong in your past can help you become a better person in the future and they did that all through making Riley a new belief system through her bad memories coming back and mixing to make Riley a nee person all while making sure we know that she is now in control of her emotions.
I don't care what anyone else says. Anxiety personified here and having Rileys intense motivation turn into toxic productivity was fucking brilliant and as someone who has dealt with that for my entire life, it made me feel seen.
I really like how they made you care about Riley, she feels like an actual character with her own actions.
Throughout the movie her actions made her feel like she was her own person instead of just being a puppet controlled by the emotions
I honestly liked Riley a lot more in the sequel.
Also as one grows up, they start thinking more logically than emotionally, which is why the emotions don't control her as much until anxiety comes along.
@@AnaandVerity1259yeah I feel like there was more of her in the sequel than the first film
@@Queen_Of_Discord yeah I like how at the end, she can call emotions to the console instead of the emotions deciding for her. it's a nice way to communicate that Riley is in control of her emotions now
"Come on, Riley, move those feet"
I really truly liked that. Such a simple dialogue and scene added to the world building.
Inside out 2 felt like it should continue further. I wanted more and I want to see Riley continue to grow. I think everyone loves seeing the parents minds and it would be really cool to see how people age
I'm guessing we see Riley as an adult for the next film?
I wish it wasn't targeted for kids so we could see more mature events in adulthood like marriage, money, divorce, job interviews, family and kids, mid-life crisis etc. Maybe kids would be confused or bored with these themes. But I believe in Pixar, they made adulthood interesting for everyone in Incredibles.

This movie won me over simply because it gave the best presentation on what an anxiety attack is really like! Everybody talks about the pounding chest and the rapid breathing, but another overlooked part of what makes them intense is the fact that a lot of your negative memories, even ones you've gotten over a long time ago, seem to resurface and begin to pile up. Making the attack bigger. When I saw this start to happen in this movie, I have never felt so spoken to in my life!
Nahh Frr this movie took me close to home bro 😢
Nah. An anxiety attack has you in actual fear of death. Is an oppressive feeling in your head, you feel your arms burning, and you believe you will die at any second.
That wasn't portrayed at all.
What the movie is showing is the girl having a mental breakdown. Only thing remotely realistic that was shown is how you can actually stop the anxiety/panic attacks with just willforce abd thinking.
I had panic attacks for 2 months, and it was awful. One day, it hit me on the street, and it felt awful, i swire to myself that i wasn't going to live like that and it stopped.
After that, i never had one again: clean in more than 10 years

I can’t wait for Inside Out 3 to be about adult Riley meeting her old villain gang from her past who are now trying to destroy the city
And then it will be followed by the new Disney Plus series “Riley Rules”.
What the fuck?
Also i hate pixar now
I can imagine her saying her iconic phrase : "IT'S RILEYIN' TIME"
Can't wait to introduce the new emotion 'Stress' where she stresses out about how she can ever defeat four villains at once, instead of using the Dehydration Gun.
it's a minor detail, but i love how when anxiety first shows up, we can see joy resist the urge to discourage anxiety from getting involved with the control board. it really shows that she learned her lesson from the first movie and doesn't plan to make the same mistake
Inside out 2 is the only modern Pixar sequel that feels ACTUALLY necessary. Since it explores upon the mind of a Teenager as opposed to the mind of a Child the first movie established. It just makes *sense.*
Toy Story 2 and 3 also felt necessary tho
Edit: I know the comment says “MODERN” but they edited the original comment
Same for every inside out sequel, really.

@@soapbiter36577Seeing a movie about the toy’s dealing with Andy growing up was definitely necessary.

Ok he said it wasn't as emotional but dude. The line "Maybe as you grow you feel less joy," was just- I really don't know what to say but ow. I feel like we all might've thought that once in our lives.
This part hit me deep, I cried I think it was the most painful truth and saddest part in the movie. Like damn.
My favourite thing about that line is that they kind of refute it later in the movie, when the console calls for Joy because despite everything Riley still needs her. Sure, growing up often means coming to terms with harsh truths and losing the rose-tinted glasses, but it doesn't mean you're doomed to a life of misery and cynicism.
I cried three times during the movie and that line was one of them. Joy's decline felt so familiar and heartbreaking

The scene with Anxiety flashing in the storm and not being able to do anything but cry genuinely gave me more heartache then I've ever had in a movie... I adore this movie.

Inside Out 2 was SOOOO good!
dude it was amazing
@SylvainJoseGautier- Yeah, amazing movie
@Doctor_Straing_Strange Yep, I really love it.
How this film nailed the feeling of an anxiety attack was terrific.
Yes, anxiety attacks are terrific!
That scene was cold. It stayed in my head for a bit after the movie for atleast a couple hours.
It truly was the best portrayal I’ve seen of one since Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
like it genuinely frightened when i watched anxiety move faster and faster on the console trying to fix Riley even though Riley was only getting worse and worse and she became a TORNADO that was covering her vision and flinging her other emotions around it was just. so good. and i related to it so hard
@@spacey_po8666Exactly. The detail of anxiety shedding a tear was also a nice touch. In the end, she just wanted it to stop. But couldn't do it on her own.
when i watched the first on at 13, while i loved it, i thought it was a bit weird how Riley sort of appeared as a "robot" or "puppet". we didn't see much of her personality besides liking hockey and being depressed about moving. this time it's nice to see more of her core self with her even resisting taking the notebook
I feel like there’s room for a 3rd movie, maybe when Riley is an older teenager or even early 20s as these can be a big point in someone’s life. Adapting into adulthood would work for an inside out movie I feel
I would even go further: there’s also room for a 4th movie where she is slowly aging and facing the truth that her life is soon gonna end. Pixar is a studio that i trust to make this concept work.
I wouldn't mind seeing them tactical dark issues like depression and other problems depressions bring as pg as it could possibly be mainly because i feel we should strive to explain and help people that are possibly going through those feelings currently. But i know disney would never do it because money and it wouldn't be family friendly.
@@theeytsher4810ehhh i feel like thats a bit too much. Its one of those crackpot ideas that play into the sad elements of pixar too much. Its too fanfictiony
@@shotgunfrenzy1225the first movie already covered depression, it's the part in third act when the emotions lose control.
@@superlagbro192 I don't think that was depression that was being emotionally numb
I loved it when Anxiety was portrayed like another form of fear.
Fear is like a response to what happens currently like it triggers your fight or flight response while Anxiety is a worry that something COULD happen like in the future or something.
To sum up correctly, Anxiety is designed to keep us vigilant of what COULD happen and fear is designed to keep you vigilant of what is already happening.
I believe the film says that Fear is the emotion responding to what you can perceive in the moment and Anxiety is the emotion responding to what you can't perceive? I believe?
i ship tbh
Loved when Fear was crushing on Anxiety, that was so funny
I've had a severe anxiety disorder since I was 9 years old and its taken over my life.

No I did too lmao
Same lol
The moment Anxiety realized Joy had escaped and was influencing imagination was really good. That "Joooooy" was really creepy.
They were literally mocking that old Apple ad from the 80s where the lady throws the hammer at the screen. The commercial was directed by Ridley Scott.

Pixar really needed this one. I went to the theater 3 times to see it, only for it to be sold out. Eventually I just bought a ticket 5 hours in advance. The theater was cram-packed, and they needed extra staff guarding the entrances to make sure that no one snuck in without a ticket.

coming from the perspective of someone who has a very bad anxiety disorder, I think the way they portrayed anxiety in the movie was amazing. the scene showing Riley having an anxiety attack legit made me tear up in the theater because it was such a good way to describe what that feels like.
The vault scenes and characters had me fucking crying of laughter, I loved how the sword dude just rolled away after trapping the guards, and how dumb pouchy’s bag choices were

Honest to god same. It came so out of left field that I lost it.

Yeah I really enjoyed the more funny parts of the movie. They were all pretty unexpected but gold
that scene was quite the wild card for Pixar, normally they don't do jokes with the animation itself like this in their movies
I really enjoy Joy and Sadness’ interactions in the sequel. It feels like a massive step up from the first where Joy didn’t want anything to do with Sadness. But in Inside Out 2, Joy is always hearing Sadness out, puts more of her faith in her when it came to the conflict, and their relationship took a natural progression from where it left off. I’m just grateful they didn’t take the Ralph 2 route where the main duo’s friendship is like pretty much reset after the first.
We don't talk about Wreck it Ralph 2
For realll, Joy would’ve been so obnoxious if her character reset to how it was at the beginning of the first movie.

This movie couldn’t have come out at a better time in my life.
I like to look at the 2 movies this way:
Inside Out 1 was a bigger story during a trivial time in Riley’s life.
Inside Out 2 is a smaller story during a pivotal time in Riley’s life.
How is moving from MN to CA trivial?
@@Fernball21 That makes it the bigger story, but Riley was still a child. Now she’s a teenager, and naturally her body and her mentality is going through major changes.
@@Fernball21her being 11 makes it pretty trivial because while she was connected to MN, she was so young and won’t have the same resonance with it since she didn’t have a lot of friends or family holding here there. on the other hand trying to make friends and make the team for high school which can lead to her college career is a much bigger part of her life because she’s older and things have more resonance and importance now yk?
Moving to a completely different state is definitely pivotal
I’d argue it’s more pivotal than going to a new school
As a 32yo who only recently dealt with my first panic attack last month, this movie resonated with me. The panic attack felt just like how this movie visualized, down to how Joy couldn't even touch her for a bit to help stop it.
not to be That Guy ☝️🤓 but what the movie depicted was an anxiety attack, not a panic attack. the two terms are similar, but they're totally different things. panic attacks come at random and are often more intense (often feel like a stroke/heart attack) while anxiety attacks are responses to a perceived threat (which, in this case, is the buildup of riley feeling like she's not good enough as a friend/hockey player, etc.)

First movie had me in tears.
This sequel had me sobbing like a broken faucet.
Especially in the second half…
Same! I was sobbing!
Honestly, the first Pixar movie to make me cry, but not for the moment you think.
The part where Riley had to pretend she didn’t like her favourite band, because all the other girls thought it was for kids and made her feel bad for liking it. When I was young, I was obsessed with Monster High, had all the dolls, knew every little encyclopaedic fact about ever character.
Then when I went to secondary school. I brought up Monster High in front of other girls and they said it was for babies, and I pretended I thought they were for babies too. Then when I started hanging out with mostly boys, I brought up Monster High one day and a guy talked about how annoying the commercials were and how ugly and girly the dolls were, and I had to pretend like Riley that I didn’t like them either. Eventually, it got to a point where anything pink or sparkly or silly or remotely girly or childish that I liked had to be kept a secret, because I was desperate to not be alone.
It’s such a weirdly specific thing that feels very individual, yet I think almost everyone has experienced something like that. The fear that your interests are too “silly” or “childish” or that you won’t fit in because of them is weirdly universal, and I’m so happy this film touched on it.
TLDR: This movie made me cry and Monster High is incredible.
Good for you. That's an absolute W. Draculaura rocks.
I heard the recent monster high show is actually great
Monster High is the best doll franchise that happened fr Draculaura is the goat along with Frankie
I was pleasantly surprised how they portrayed anxiety. I feared it would be treated childishly but they handled it very well. I could feel how anxiety was both necessary and harmful simultaneously.
Are we gonna ignore how fear basically said “I can fix her” at one point??
He kept bringing her up 24/7 and one scene showed him look'n all uwu when talking about her. I find that funny bc I recall the people who worked on the first film shipped Fear and Disgust back then
I didn't see wny trailers or know anything about the plot beforehand beyond "Riley's a teenager with new emotions," so I really had zero idea what to expect going in.
I was super impressed that they juggled the Joy team, Anxiety team, and Riley life plots so well and kept them all compelling and meaningful pretty much the entire way through.
I also appreciate that they didn't take any easy outs to resolve the storylines. They didn't make Anxiety straight-up evil and have the other emotions "win" by locking her away, they had her realize her mistake organically and integrate with the group in a health way. They didn't turn Riley's friends bitter and mean so that Riley could just break things off with them. Thry didn't even have the friends or the other emotions forcibly pull Riley out of her anxiety attack. They were there for her, and Joy did get Anxiety to let go, but ultimately Riley was able to steady herself and make things right.
I also spent the entire movie dreading a twist villain reveal that Val was just pretending to be Riley's friend and I'm SO glad that didn't happen
I like how, similarly to the 'cool girls' in the first movie looking concerned rather than judgemental when Riley cried, the stuff Riley overhears the firehawks saying isn't actually mean. Riley feels bad about what she hears because they bring up her mistakes, but the other girls aren't actually mocking her. They criticise what she did wrong but they also compare her to themselves and start reminiscing. Riley zeroes in on what they said about her, but the conversation isn't actually about her for very long.
I dunno exactly where I'm going with this, I guess I'm just glad they aren't mean girl stereotypes.
@@SingingWithMyself-Frozen holy shit, you are kinda right about it when you say it like that. When I watched the movie I always thought that the cool girls were kinda assholes, but what you said makes more sense

i actually had an anxiety attack recently, like, days before I saw the film. it was still lingering for those days, risking spiraaling out of control every moment i thought about it. but seeing inside out 2 really helped me. their portrayal of an anxiety attack simultaniously made me feel validated, the analogy helped me understand what was happening to me, and most importantly, I'm not alone. its a normal thing to go through. gave me hope i could bounce back. thanks to that hope, I did (mostly) still working on it. i basically got a therapy session for the price of a movie theater ticket.
Don’t give up!!
I’ve never personally had an attack but do get it pretty bad anxiety/deal with it constantly. I walked out of the theater feeling very hopeful.
I had an anxiety attack just day before the movie. That scene hit hard
SPOILER:
One of the funniest moments for me in the movie was when they showed that one guy in the vault that looked like a final fantasy character. Not only because of his power up and whatnot, but mainly because he looked like he was made of DS graphics
He really looks like a 3ds or ps2 character
I think Inside Out has the most potential for sequels, because of how emotions evolve with age. Meanwhile, Cars 2 is like... nah, lets just make Goldfinger for kids
What’s funny is that Cars 3 literally DID base its plot on the technological evolution of cars, so they got it right there, it just took them a massive fumble first.

About the cicadas: This year is a super-emergence. Three broods of cicadas, around a few million each, are expected to emerge. Have fun, Schaffrillas!
the only real problem that I have with this movie, and it's not even a real citicism, is that it could have been a bigger story, set in high school, with Riley grappling multiple facets of being a teenager, instead they went with a smaller, more contained setting and confronted only one aspect of adolescence, the anxiety of fitting in and constructing a fake personality to be accepted. Thus it feels a smaller movie compared to the first one. The real, actual criticism I have is that the third act emotional breakpoint is too similar to the one of the previous movie, Joy sitting among the memory orbs and understanding her mistakes
yea honestly i had really high expectations for the plot for inside out 2, they only showed her interactions in a hockey game but there would have been so much more potential if it was in a highschool setting with experience a 13 year old girl universally goes through
Another reason I want an Inside Out 3:
If it would be the last in a trilogy, I'd love for it to go all the way into Riley as an old woman. And when her time is almost up, the other emotions finally let Nostalgia control the console, as Riley flashes back through every event in her life before headquarters starts slowly shutting down.
It might be a little too sad, but since this is the same studio that made Up, it might not be too far-fetched.
I think it would be better if they had her in early adulthood. Being an old woman would be too far. Plus this movie takes place in 2017, so it would make sense for it to be present day and 2022-2023
Literally this comment makes me want to sob uncontrollably. I don’t think we could handle that! lol
Those kinds of ideas always make me roll my eyes a bit
Brother this is a kids movie
They should do an ending bit showing the emotions inside of other Pixar characters. Kind of a missed opportunity to include this in the first film.
I really like how the movie handled Anxiety as a character. While she definitely is the main antagonist of the film she isn’t a straight up villain, she genuinely thinks that what she and the other new emotions are doing is what's best for Riley, not realising that it's actually doing more harm then good. They could've easily just made her a villian who actively wanted to hurt Riley, but they took a more nuance take on having anxiety still be an important emotion a lot of us have and struggle with but also show the importance of keeping it in check
She really does remind me of Joy in the first film, both mean well with wanting what they think is best for Riley, but they don't realise that how they are going at it isn't just harming the other emotions that they believe aren't as important (for Joy it's Sadness and for Anxiety it's the orignal emotions) but is also causing more harm to Riley and her mental health, its only when they see just how much Riley is suffering because of their actions that they try and fix their mistakes
No scene in this movie give me that goosebump heart break like the scene where Bing Bong jumps off the sleigh in the first movie. But the emotions in this movie still resonates in a different way. In the first movie it hits so hard is because it's the point of no return without her even knowing it, and we could tell that her childhood has started to end. In the second, the sadness is a milestone that Riley has reached in her journey, it's memorable and she's more aware of herself as a person. It's something scary and painful but bittersweet.
The sad thing about this movie being good. is that Disney is gonna take the wrong message away from this thing, and that people just want to see sequels instead of good stories.

I love the scene with Riley’s breakdown so much because I genuinely relate to it. I nearly cried because it was such an amazing representation of how I felt in that moment. I’m so glad it was made so well.
It’s funny, I don’t care too much for the designs of the other new Emotions but Anxiety looks GREAT. The baggage is funny, the frazzled nerve-hair fits their vibe and habitat within a human brain, and their default expression is PERFECT.
Maybe I’ll see this, just for them!
The neat part is that this concept has some more legs left still. I’m imagining the idea of Grief being represented as some huge grey giant that takes over the whole brain control console, or a mega corporation that makes the inside of Riley’s head all gloomy.
and/or we get to see Nostalgia...
Or maybe Riley has an accident that causes her to have head trauma and subsequent amnesia and the plot is about recovering the memories
Ooh I like that idea!
Yesss I said in another comment that grief and nostalgia could come together after Riley experiences a major loss in her life, though what I think would be more interesting is if it's Riley herself and her self destructive coping mechanisms that they're fighting with. She grows more autonomy with age so it would build upon this movie's themes to learn the concept of harm reduction and that sometimes they will have to let her hurt herself in the long term to deal with the pain of the present, dealing with cycles of improvement and backsliding, but they can still guide her towards better options (led by anxiety's calculations). Self loathing and despair could also be separate emotions though despair is quite close to anxiety

Definitely! I enjoyed the original, but I always felt it was overrated. Many of my complaints about the original, Riley not being that interesting, Sadness being unbelievably annoying, and the other emotions not playing as much of a role in the story, were all fixed in the sequel, on top of the new emotions, which were arguably more interesting than the original emotes and an overall touching message about dealing with anxiety and the inevitably of diminishing joy, ultimately requiring you to find a balance to live a happy life.

Call me a baby but it had me sobbing in the theater. My wife took notice of my tears and asked me what was wrong. It hit close to home.
i initially had no intention of seeing this movie, and only went because my boyfriend's little brother asked if we could take him to go see it. it was a veey pleasant surprise! more mature and "real" than i thought it'd be, but it didn't take itself more seriously than it should.
anxiety'a character was the biggest surprise to me. from the trailers, i was worried she'd be characterized as the "quirky" version of anxiety. very glad they took her seriously in that aspect.
so you're saying that pixar... didn't fuck up!?
what kind of alternate timeline are we stuck in where some movies are watchable?
This movie was honestly amazing in my opinion. They hit the bullseye. While it’s not Last Wish good, it’s finally an up for Disney.
Two numbers
2020....s
2020s
We're stuck in an ungracious time paradox in the 2020's.....
I think the portrayal of anxiety and the entire films lesson on emotions was really good, the jokes landed for me, and it was an awesome experience in theaters. I actually loved it more than the original, I found myself genuinely laughing at the jokes like when fear says “I can fix her,” 8/10 would watch again.
I also loved the “sar-chasm” gag 🤣
@@nicolasrestrepo6177 It does leave a plot hole as to why there weren't any sar-chasms in the first movie, but I suppose you could argue she wasn't being sarcastic, she was just physically incapable of feeling joy at the time, so she could only acknowledge things in a sarcastic tone.
@@Honkious5824 it also just doesnt make sense, why would being sarcastic sever your stream of thought? it just felt like a lazy obstacle that comes out of nowhere with no logical or thematic reasoning, its just a pun :/
@@Joohoogumumns
It could be a way of showing that Riley isn't exactly putting any thought into what she's saying
Just my interpretation, tho
@user-ke5bt8qo9w
It could also be because the stream of consciousness is meant to represent the thought process/the flow of ideas, thoughts, and feelings. She's being sarcastic about loving a band, yet she is a fan of the band. Therefore, she is lying and acting like someone she isn't. She's just starting to act like someone she isn't in general, along with going through a lot of changes, due to puberty and anxiety taking over. Perhaps that is why the stream of consciousness started to collapse. Idk, maybe someone else can explain it better than me, but, that's all I got, at the moment
SPOILERS
Naw, the 'Anxiety attack' scene from the movie will always hit me so hard. It is so relatable. The hand on the chest, the leg shaking on the floor, the aggressive breathing. Dang, I just can't get enough it, I just CAN'T! The score was even excellent there. Other parts of the movie were amazing of course, but the 'Anxiety attack' scene is the blueprint of how we sometimes deal with emotions, and is personally my favorite scene of the movie.
The Pouchie shit had me laughing in the theatre tbh. Like the dynamite being the last option is so hilarious because it's so obvious.
It also makes me wonder if Riley was ever watching YTPs of Bloofy at some point. That’s the only way I can think of that Pouchy having dynamite would be in her head
i watched inside out 1 and 2 back to back, and they’re essentially a part 1 and part 2. it’s such a smooth continuation, and a necessary sequel since a lot of the people who were riley’s age when the first movie came out are teenagers now. it’s a real monsters university situation, but even more necessary
Love to see some Monsters Uni love. I love it so much
i would love an inside out 3 about her moving away to college and the emotions that come with that, almost a full circle moment to the first movie when she moves away
I love how Alma and Anxiety are the antagonists of their respected movies and the difference is that one was trying to protect the miracle for Decades while the other was literally just born yesterday trying to protect Riley
My favorite part of the movie was anxiety, I liked how they represented that not only in a destructive way, it also shows the positive side, the need to prepare and think about the future, but that cannot be your only way of thinking. I loved the scene where Anxiety froze on the control panel, it legitimately made me feel very empathetic, because that kind of thing can happen, not literally, just the emotion that it conveyed. I liked it more than the first.
Inside Out: Child Riley (2015)
Inside Out 2: Teenager Riley (2024)
Inside Out 3: Young Adult Riley (2034)
Inside Out 4: Riley in her Mid-Life Crisis (2045)
Inside Out 5: Old Riley (2055)
Inside Out 6: Riley's Death (2060)
i feel like it should end at 3,
What about Inside Out Shippuden?
What are the new emotions for adult… horniness? Existential dread?

@@annett5 Binside Bout: The Story of Biley, Next Generation
as someone who struggles with anxiety and is an overly envious person, this movie made me BAWL! For me, envy and anxiety were perfectly characterized as emotion-people. I absolutely adored the film and enjoyed it more than the first Inside Out. I love how it builds and is more complex than the first. That being said, I totally understand why people would enjoy Inside Out 1 more!
Honestly, I am just happy that it was a sequel that expanded on concepts too, rather than be the same story as the first!
