I have many thoughts on all the intricate details of Inside Out 2. What are your opinions on the more smaller scale stuff? The stuff you think might not get mentioned in the usual discussion on the movie...?
A small thing I noticed was how well the new voice actors sounded like the old crew. I only noticed once in the whole movie with disgust in the sarcasm valley scene.
Spoilers Alert: I loved this film, and appreciated that Anxiety wasn't turned into a villain. Instead, it was normalised, and shows which it's important to keep it in check.
So... putting the other emotions IN PRISON and putting Sadness in a bucket was not evil? Are you sure? Same for completely wanting to change Riley's personality? Thoses things are cruel to me 😟
Unironically, I really want more Inside Out movies just so we could see Riley grow up (Y'know like Andy from Toy Story) AND Nostalgia finally gets to come out of the closet and press a button on the control panel at last lmao.
@@TaccRaccoon That would be depressing. The emotions taking one last tour, looking at all the core memories and reminiscing over them while the lights slowly turn off. Emotions fade to the point where only Sadness and Joy remain at a barely-dim board. Sadness disappears, with Joy being the only one left (like when Riley was born). A final goodbye, and then everything fades to black.
no but really the scene where anxiety is frozen and crying and being chaotic at the same time pulled my heart strings.. because as someone with an anxiety disorder that's exactly how my anxiety feels like for me and for many others too you feel frozen in fear but at the same time chaotic confusion. anxiety feels so horrible it almost makes you cry of how overwhelming it can feel I really wished in the film where Riley is having the anxiety attack there could have been someone there comforting her maybe showing her some coping mechanisms a little something like that you know but overall I loved the film :]
But the beautiful thing i've realized is how during Riley's panic attack the movie purposely focuses on these little things that help you calm down like sounds (Riley hearing her friends chatting), texture (when she touches the chair she's sitting on) or light peacefuly shining through the windows. To quiet your toughts you need to focus on the world surrounding you.
I feel like when Riley touched a surface while calming down, that reminded me of a bit of physical grounding, a technique to help with anxiety. Almost made me tear up when I saw that
favorite scenes: - joy loses it - pouchie gets mouth-assaulted - the entire panic attack scene - embarrassment's character arc speaking of, where does pouchie get all those explosives?
For the low-stakes stuff, I kind of disagree. Anxiety can definitely make little stuff like this seem like facing the end of the world, especially as a teenager, and I was throughly invested in the plot through seeing it through Riley’s lenses.
Also, I think you’re misunderstanding the message about anxiety and the chair at the end of the movie. The idea isn’t that anxiety is “bad” because Joy does put her planning skills to good use. She just needs to reel her back at times before she gets too out of hand. It’s possible to coexist with anxiety, just as long as you know how to control it, which is portrayed in that scene.
@@DimeUhDozenand reasons like this is why i don’t like dazz at all he’s so fucking egotistical and presents his opinions as facts he has no idea of the concept of flexibility
@@andromeda_nekoI think he just doesn’t experience much Anxiety himself (certainly not to the extent a teen girl would, whew) and doesn’t relate to the message.
I do think the "stakes" being a hokey game was well done. In retrospect, yeah its not that serious, but its supposed to be that way, it shows that anxiety can make the smallest things seem like a big deal but when the emotions get together all the stakes disappear.
Tbh I feel like you ruined the movie for yourself by willingly spoiling yourself to hell and back 💀 Like your dissapointment with the movie is 100% a you problem, sorry. I didn't spoil myself at all and the "small" stakes still really hit for me and I felt like the movie did everything it needed to do. Maybe it's cause I'm technically still a teenager (tho just barely) so it was a lot more relatable for me but I was genuinely very invested in the plot and Riley's development felt natural.
Yeah he ruined it by watching every trailer and trying to make videos out of it lol Though i guess you can blame Pixar for making so many trailers I'm getting sick of how many trailers movies have now
Yeah. It’s understandable to have a hard time avoiding trailers and clips, especially when you make online content about them. But he could waited until after watching the movie to read the concept art books. That just created unrealistic expectations unfortunately.
what do you mean not the old pixar movie "we love" inside out 2 is arguably one of the best among the sequels of pixar movies in history that's impressive
@@waiken3727 Because Almost Everyone loves Most the Older Pixar Movies (up to Toy Story 3 (which is a 2010 Movie), excluding Inside Out (which is a 2015 Movie)), And They Also _Think_ that for *EVERYONE* It's like This (while for Almost Everyone It can be like This (Mostly out of Nostalgia, in My Opinion), But for Me Not, for example (Always been Unpopular and More about Everything, so I'm Not Surprised At All, actually)... that's, I Literally Love/Adore *ALL* Their Movies (Without Any Exception), But I Prefer More the Recent Ones, Emotionally speaking, because if We talk Technically, I find that there are Super Good Movies Both in the Older Ones and ("maybe" even more), in the Newer Ones)... either way, I Absolutely 1000% Agree with You on Everything!!! 🥰💯👌🏻
@@flowersoul6894 That is not what I meant, I’m talking about theatrical releases, because I too, enjoy their Covid movies, such as Luca and Soul(I will make an exception for Turning Red, I did not like that movie at all😭). If you compare the older Pixar movies(1995-2015), to the newer ones(2016-Present), you will see a *lot* of differences, most of their original stories now, lack what the older stories did. The stories now are bland, one dimensional, focus *heavily* on representation, which is good, but most of it feels forced most of the time. Take Wades sibling from Elemental, there was no reason to add them and their girlfriend into the story/scene, except for representation, it’s the same with other characters, such as Buzz’s best friend and her wife in Lightyear(I get this was technically a sequel, but whatever). Now compare recent(2021-present) Pixar theatrical releases to other studios, such as Illuminations Mario Movie, Dreamworks’ Puss N’ Boots: The Last Wish, and Paramounts Sonic the Hedgehog 2(yes most of these are sequels, but Pixar is making money by pumping out sequels as well, there’s a fucking Toy Story 5 in the making). The cast for the Mario Movie was not extremely diverse, but it was still a good movie, Puss N’ Boots: The Last Wish didn’t have lgbtq representation, but it was still a good movie, Sonic the Hedgehog 2’s plot was generic, but well executed, which was what made it *a good movie*, and better than the first. What I think Pixar doesn’t understand, is that they don’t need representation to make a movie good, they need to first write a script, then during character designing/development, they add in diverse characters that aren’t cookie cutter stereotypes. Do you see what I’m saying? The old Pixar didn’t care if their characters were African American, Queer, Asian American, Mexican, etc., they cared about making movies with neat animation, a well fleshed out stories, and likable characters. Older Pixar movies with great representation are The Incredibles and Ratatouille. Now I don’t want to argue about something as stupid as liking movies because of “nostalgia”. I am 16, I do not like the older Pixar movies because of nostalgia. I like them because their stories are intriguing, the characters are fun, and worlds feel well fleshed out After seeing Inside Out 2, I have to say, it was like a breath of fresh air, compared to other recent Pixar movies, but it’s not the best movie. The newer characters were not well fleshed out, other than “Val is so cool!” “Val made the Hockey Team as a Freshman!” “Val, Val, Val!” “Bree and Grace are Riley’s Friends!” “Bree and Grace are Moving!” “Let’s Hardly Show Bree and Grace in the Movie other than when Riley has a Panic Attack, or When she Wants to Fit in!”, I honestly forgot they existed until they showed up on screen again. I’d go on about other problems I had with the movie, but I’m tired, and this reply is already longer than it needs to be. My point is that my comment is my opinion, as someone who wants to go into animation, character design, and/or script writing, and maybe work at a big company like Disney or Pixar one day, after seeing Inside Out 2, I feel there is hope for the company. If they focus on making movies that focus more on friendship and trust(like they used to be known for), and less on representation, then people, including myself, will think extremely highly of them once more.
Despite might not being Pixar's best movie ever, it's still quite refreshing to see them at least didn't screwed up the sequel and managed to put things back on track. Good job for them 👍
@@jeremiahgreen5632 you can compare but it's a bit unreasonable and harsh because rarely any pixar sequels is better than the original you can't top that you're asking too much
I think you are a bit too caught up in the hypotheticals and concept artbook. I thought the movie did everything it needed to, and most of the concepts you pitch would only muddle the movie and moral. third act conflict with a non-established abstract darkness? We lose the conflict between joy and anxiety, which is very much the center of the movie's plot. Joy dying? Sure, i can mostly agree there, except for the amount of hoops they would have to go to in order to justify it or bring her back when it has been previously established that the adults in that universe still have joy, despite it not taking point (lead). Riley made the team? Are you completely sure they confirmed that when we only see Riley's reaction to the letter? Since you go so deep into hypotheticals, here's another option: it is an invite to return to camp next year talking bout her unready potential and the special case the coach can make to keep the trio of friends together despite going to different schools. That right there is a bit complicated an answer, but there are many similar simpler ones along the same lines. Scope. That is the key. Everything you propose draws the scope too thin to function the way we have the movie now, but that doesnt mean the concepts cant be explored in later sequels as long as enough heart remains to keep the audiences around despite the growing anti-disney sentiment.
@@plaidhatter1674 All that bit about a sequel is a subtle jab at broken hollywood. It is possible to take the scattered ideas and make a sequel, so current hollywood will be desperate to try if 2 proves to be a success. If the heart from the first 2 remains over all the culture wars, it will probably be fine for audiences, but breaking "the plan" is more likely to just backfire and ruin one of the few good stories disney/pixar has left. IP mining is a real problem. It doesnt matter if the CREATORS of that IP say it is being flushed down the drain and ruined, disney is going to mine it like their life depends on it, and some may say they are right about the concept but not the execution. Intended to be the last Inside Out movie? Corporate overlords dont care and will run it dry if they are allowed to.
i liked that again, it was the other emotions trying to supress the "bad memories" for Riley and that making her more susceptible to being taken over by the "negative" emotions and acting out in negative ways. And I liked that facing up to herself as joy also meant Riley needed to face up to her own actions and how it aligned with her newfound sense of self. It wasnt perfect, but it felt like a worthy story to tell within that universe and i laughed a good few times too
One thing I really liked that I feel like is pretty surface level stuff that everyone kinda picked up on was how Riley's actions and demeanor started becoming....well more anxious the longerAnxiety held the position as dominant emotion. Like, in the beginning, when she first use the board, Riley didnt seem anxious, rather someone who was just a bit nervous(??). But towards the climax before the big scrimmage, when she was talking to other girls, it really felt like Anxiety in a Riley skin costume. Idk if that makes sense since im not good at conveying it, but yea
In the anxiety attack scene, I was SOOO hoping that the friend Riley smacked into saw her going through that attack and would come to calm her down, comfort her through it. It would've been the perfect scene made up of compassion, forgiveness, and reconciliation just like the first one. And some relatablity of said friend having a panic attack and helping Riley ground her. THEY WERE SO CLOSE
Having just watched the film yesterday evening, I felt the same way. The film was great, it just felt a little bit rushed, especially near the climax. If Riley’s friend Grace had helped her to calm down during her panic attack, that would’ve been perfect!
@@Joy6168and why didn't they add a scene where she apologises to her teammates? They would have been PISSED at her. But next minute they are all friends again. Her behaviour would have gotten her not only not selected but benched for the rest of the game. It was a complete whiff.
When you're in the middle of a anxiety attack, people trying to talk to you is nearly incomprehensible. And, at least in my case, i have a rebuttal for every solution someone could give me in that state. Talking to someone in that state is useless or possibly damaging to the relationship.
I think if they had an extra 30-45 minutes it would have definitely been better. To add on what you said about joy fading away, I think it would have been great if she appeared to the deep dark secret and tried to confront it and basically learn accept her secret, instead of the dark secret being a gag. They also could've explored the back of the mind more and made it more interesting. I wish they did more with the other new emotions, besides anxiety, since she was already explored enough. I also wished they explored the islands while going to the back of the mind. If they did that it would've been a 10/10 instead of a 9/10.
I totally agree that this movie suffered from a low run-time! There seems to have been ALOT cut out of the concepts which would've made it so much more impactful and introspective
@@dreamergirlbaby Unfortunately that’s not quite true. Just because you have good parents and good friends, doesn’t mean you are automatically protected from all kinds of mistakes, accidents and traumas. Nor does it mean that you never feel scared or ashamed about something. Having a wonderful support network helps tremendously with understanding, dealing and coping with the things life throws at you - and admittedly can mean avoiding certain things that those who don’t have it will experience and make you more likely to be happier overall - but things will be thrown, no matter what. A person can have loving parents and great friends, and still be assaulted on the bus, or bullied at school. So Riley can absolutely have a deep dark secret. Anyone can.
Remember although Pixar is under the umbrella of Disney, Pixar is still a separate entity for now. And Pixar has a decent track record of movie sequels.
Remeber from the first movie that line about wondering what is going inside their head. The whole time I watched the second movie, I wanted to know what Val's head looked like. This movie showed other people's minds less.
Spoilers for the movie: One thing I like about Inside Out 2 is the fact that they sort of gave Riley more autonomy compared to the first film. So it's not so much that her emotions control her every action, but only give her the "drive" to do certain things. Which mean Riley is capable of acting on her own even when the emotions aren't controlling her and she's more like a self-driving car where the emotions only take the wheel when necessary. And the scene where Riley apologises to her old friends is done by herself without the emotions doing anything to the controller. And yeah, I actually wept during Riley's breakdown and when Anxiety goes berserk. I also like that Anxiety isn't treated like a villainous character and the film doesn't try to pick sides by acknowledging the flaws of Joy and Anxiety while also validating their concerns (i.e. Anxiety saying that Riley cannot always be goofing around especially during serious situations, Joy wanting Riley to not be constantly plagued by worries and relieve tension a bit). I also think that the movie is more beneficial to watch WITHOUT seeing the trailers. While I did see one trailer and a few TV spots, I went into the film completely blank to get a better impression.
As someone with GAD, you have no idea how happy I am that anxiety was actually represented well with how it just takes control and steam rolls everything else because that’s unironically how it feels constantly
So, the only scene I would have maybe added is the coach asking Riley after the game what’s wrong, Riley coming clean(could have had honesty island start up as a call back) and the coach explain “oh, my note was that I wasn’t ready to make a decision about you… I used short hand because… well the notes are for my eyes only. Sometimes when you read things that aren’t meant for other peoples eyes you lack the context of their head space and cause yourself anxiety for no reason. If you were that anxious you should have just told me. Remember that for next time.” (That wording would lend credibility to the Riley made the team camp)
that is exactly what i thought they'd do right after I saw the note scene. Im surprised they didnt add it in because it shows a clearer side of Anxiety also struggling with thinking rationally due to clogging the mind with negative assumptions.
That would've been a nice little scene to add. Maybe the coach could've seen Riley have the anxiety attack and pull her aside afterwards and ask if she was okay and then what you suggest happens. It was a bit weird how that plot thread got dropped.
Spoiler alert: I kind of wish that when they were hugging Rileys new self while she was having a panic attack, Nostelga just waddles past and touches the console to make Riley remember the times she had with friends and family and moments that calm her down a bit (i guess the hug from the others would also help). then at the end Nostelga could have been like 'oh dearie me! I'm still a little early arent I? I will be back soon' or something so she doesn't hang around. I feel like I mostly wanted this so there was some kind of payoff for Nostelga :')
I always thought pouchy was a rehash of toodles from mikey mouse clubhouse , bc disney… also “OHHHHH TOOOODLESSS” was basically “OHHHHH POUUUCHHYYYY” in this movie
This movie was honestly a 10/10 for me. As a teen girl with anxiety I related to Riley on a deep level. When Joy said “I guess that’s what happens when you grow up, you feel less joy” hit me so hard. It made me choke up. But the climax when Riley has the anxiety attack really broke me. I was sobbing. I hadn’t cried that hard for a movie since the opening scene of Wakanda Forever. I went to a trade school this year and my anxiety had been at an all time high because of it. I’ve been homeschooling since the 7th grade so being in an actual classroom again was just so overwhelming. I’ve had a few anxiety attacks this year in the shower. Anyways I really loved this movie.
One thing I really like was that a lot of the Riley scenes were extremely cringe inducing, to the point I could barely watch the scene. Seeing as this movie is about growing to adolescence, It was most likely intentional, and was a nice thing to include.
24:00 I wish the deep dark secret was them saying Riley can talk toys,she has monsters in her closet and the fish in her dentist office talk to her. After hearing this Joy laughs "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to" She pats DDS on the back as he walks back into the vault 😀🥰 🤣
Spoilers: Anxiety's seat isn't a "don't contribute you're bad" chair, it's anxiety's calm down zone. It's not to remove her from control it's to keep her in a healthy state of mind before she takes action.
After the 🏆3rd Toy Story I was not convinced to see a Pixar movie in theaters until 14 yrs later with this movie. The characters,scenario & stakes with Riley growing up outside of home are now fully realized. I'd give the sequel a 9.8 and the original a 5.5. I totally shouted at Pouchy at the screen in the crowded theatre. haha. I didn't give af. 🤣😛 I want to see Riley as a new parent someday.
I loved this movie so much dude, the anxiety attack is extremely accurate to how i’ve felt, i could feel it through the screen. And i love how relatable this movie is even for me as a 19 year old guy. I love how they know perfectly how to switch the tone from full on crying to comedy to light up the mood. I was 10 when the first came out and i watched it with my mom so i already pretty much liked riley and joy and it made it so much harder to see them both in such pain, especially riley since i KNOW how that feels 1:1 accuratly I honestly dont see how this movie is aimed at kids when it kinda feels more like a massive hug towards older teens like myself who have experienced these things
Spoiler alert real quick: when I was at the movie theater and the movie ended And it looked like she made the team It kid behind me, said I don’t think she made it and then I started laughing so hard that my sister slapped me
32:15 I saw it as whenever Anxiety starts to overthink and plan for things that could hurt Riley in the long-run (like what she was doing the whole movie basically) they send her over there to calm her down and steer her towards things that she could take control of without hurting Riley. Like the Spanish test Joy mentioned.
I think that the second one is better but that it has more flaws than the first one did. For me, the parts real-world segments are more compelling in the second, same with the way that the new emotions interacted with the console. I also find it ironic that the emotion most likely to make you less erratic and more tired is sleeping at nighttime.
I knew very well from the beginning that they couldn’t stop Anxiety. But they could get a grip on her overwhelming and controlling behavior. In a way, Joy and Anxiety are alike. Also, I didn’t like the coach of the hockey team. I understand she was trying to be the authoritative figure, but it just rubbed the wrong way for me.
15:22 earlier in the movie a piece of broccoli falls into the sarcasm. Later anxiety notices that broccoli in the beliefs place, showing that the sarcasm leads directly into the beliefs place. If you look at the scene where they cause the avalanche of memories, you will notice it leads directly into into the sarcasm.
So I thought this movie felt rushed. However there were a lot of good moments! I do think turning red handled the puberty side of things better (which I thought this movie would dive more into). 8/10
I don't agree with your thoughts on the anxiety chair reasoning. I don't think it's saying "You're a bad emotion, sit over there". I see it as she needs the chair to keep anxiety under control because uncontrolled anxiety causes problems.
Here's my theory, when Reilly got the text at the end of the movie she didn't make the team, but rather than show sadness joy took over as a way of saying it doesn't matter what the text says Reilly is happy because like it said in the book from the coach Reilly is not ready yet
The movie was okay, it certainly doesn’t have the impact of the first film and there are somethings I liked and disliked about it. I think the best part for me is where the old guard of emotions they have a lot more to them this time around especially with anger, the scene where he comforts joy and asks her kindly is while not evoking as some of the more emotional scenes in the last film did make me feel kinda nice and if anything fulled my desire to have the core emotion cast possibly expanded with more core emotions such as surprise and etc to make this feel like a full on team that mix and match and know each other inside and out countering each others weaknesses to help riley to their best advantage. And joy saying that” when you get older you may feel less happy” tho once again didn’t hit as hard yet had some effect did have me think thats less of a maturing issue and more of a society issue I,ve ,seen adults be happy, some times more happy than kids, so take that s you will. It’s society that sucks the fun out of life. In fact the only flaw I could think of regarding the old batch is that they kinda learned nothing from their last adventure and we see them suppressing/ outcasting memories which was the entire point the last film was making a point against suppressing bad memories and embracing them in order to over come them only to relearn that same lesson when they start the memory avalanche. And what makes this more jarring is that sadness is treated with respect which is what I expected but as soon as anxiety rocks up and shows what she’s capable of joy sorta dismisses her, even if she is a new emotion that just came out of the blue I would expect joy to come off a bit lighter on anxiety despite anxiety’s over exaggeration. And even if you make points that joy retains her lessons the film still goes the same route with anxiety who learns that the old emotions are just as important and the “new or complicated” emotions. Also the personality islands are now back to five instead of the nine they had at the und of the first film which is…off putting to say the least. Specking of anxiety the new emotions are…fine to some extent tho they do kinda rub me the wrong way still, like for example while she definitely is the best in her squad anxiety just seems to be a form of anticipatory fear. And even in the end/climax where she causes a full on panic attack which was cool and was visually impressive but panic is just literally just sudden fear. And so with her existence I do feel a bit like the carpet was pulled under my feet because not only do I think they could do anxiety as a combination of two emotions but also I feel like they made the ending of the last film with the combinations of emotions to produce new emotions kinda redundant. We can now just introduce an emotion whenever we want dose kinda is a clash in my eyes even if I will admit I do have a bias for the old guard. I found ennui to be…there. I personally don’t find boredom to be an emotion since it’s a lack of stimuli and huge majority of emotions need stimuli to work, and even if boredom is an emotion ennui more often represents apathy which is an absence of emotion. So Im conflicted to say the least. Embarrassment kinda felt like a two dimensional character that only mumbles and groans which while yes make sense also kinda makes him not that interesting in my eyes and I would’ve like the idea of shame a lot more since for me shame is the core emotion behind embarrassment and if anything embarrassment is a lesser from of shame. I will say he’s still cute tho. And envy is mostly anxiety’s side kick and almost enabler since she would encourage the rest and riley for that matter to fit into Val and co. So if anything she actually came out with the longest stick out of the three new emotions besides anxiety lol. Tho envy is a desire and desires and emotions are pretty different to me but I also don’t call the shots so what can I do. Nostalgia I will say was a pretty missed opportunity and kinda felt more redundant than any of the new emotions combined only coming in to be a gag that came off as eye rolling. And I also think she could’ve helped even with her old frail body and getting lost in the past, along with joy she could’ve been a key part to fixing Riley’s sense of self making Riley remember that she was completely fine the way she was and maybe should return to how she was. Tho once again nostalgia is also a desire much like envy. Lance,bloofy and the deep dark secret were fine tho I don’t have too many thoughts or feelings of them. Bloofy just seems like diet bing bong (no offence) he even has a bottomless bag OH MY GOD how on the nose do you need to be. Lance looks cool and the game details are a nice touch tho I will say I do have a question, if Riley has a crush on him and a crush which is a romantic interest or the evidence of love then where is love, if we are going out of our way to add things like anxiety then why isn’t their a love emotion. Maybe it will appear in a sequel but as I stated I much preferred the mixing a matching of emotions so this would rub be the wrong way even more but nothing talks louder than money. And then we have the deep dark secret…he’s fine, he’s funny I will give him that and the dark secret makes some sense with how secretive he is tho I’m personally not vibing with the design, I would of preferred something that dwells in the dark or unclear to see, maybe a bit more monstrous so our imaginations run wild to what Riley is hiding something thats so forbidden that she has her mind lock it in a highly secure and heavily monitored jail complex essentially. Also I think this film was pretty predictable, maybe if you didn’t watch the first film this would help but if you watched the first film you could pretty much just say “let me guess something goes wrong while the others are outside, they come back fix the problem have a touching scene and they have a even greater out come because the work together which results in a better out come” you could pretty much see this thing coming from miles away but the little hints of charm helped even if the main message was once again balance. Overall Im not a lover of this film nor do I hate it but can’t help I would’ve been so much happier with the first instalment, because now I feel polarised. Im definitely not a fan of the new emotions but I don’t despise them. The older emotions are arguably improved but they lost some of the lessons they should’ve learnt in the last outing. And the plot follows an obviously similar plot to the first but introduces new ideas that at least change something. I can definitely see why a lot of people like it but I may be the outlier here and say I would give it a 6/10, it has cool ideas and it’s visual eye candy which is guaranteed since it’s from Disney and Pixar but from someone who saw the first film it tracks a bit too close to it’s predecessor and doesn’t have a lot to surprise you if thats the case…which is funny because surprise isn’t a emotion based character in the base roster of emotions…lol.
I see where you're going with this. Like you honestly have pretty good points I never thought about but I wanted to like add something a bit if you don't mind 1st) about the thing where they relearn the lesson from the first movie. I see it as a thing of in the first movie, they learnt that each emotion is as important as the other and how you shouldn't suppress the negative emotions and stuff, while the second movie is abt how every memory is important and how you can't just keep the good ones and leave behind the bad just cause you think it'll be better for her (Riley) and how you shouldn't suppress those bad memories to try and control the kind of person Riley would be, but that she should decide for herself and stuff but I get what you mean since it sorta ends up following the same thing where anxiety basically suppresses the older emotions and takes over 2nd) about anxiety kinda being an extension of fear (or basically anticipatory fear). Like isn't it that those 2 are pretty different like how anxiety mention in the movie "fear is dealing with the threat she sees, anxiety deals with the future" or something along those lines. In a way, anxiety more so intesifies the fear of things that haven't even happened at all that lead to, in the case of the movie, a panic attack. But I could be wrong 3rd) is nostalgia. Honestly I see her appearances as something that make sense to me. Like I saw it as like the random feeling of nostalgia you get when you maybe try a type of food from a really long time ago or hear a song from a really long time ago then you get those flashbacks/feelings and whatnot but it doesn't last long, hence the other emotions quickly kicking her out when she shows up But overall, I loved your commentary and how I was able to see the movie from your point of view😊
I agree that the "Deep Dark Secret" was a complete letdown. I was really hoping for them to go all out with it, but man, talk about a wasted opportunity.
im glad they didnt in this film. I dont like to think what deep dark secret a 13 year old has. Maybe in ten years we will get the reveal that riley is adopted and dealing with that lol a new emotion, Resentment lol
Yea I was curious about what her deep dark secret could be at 13? Like it could be she's adopted or as everyone has been saying and its lame she's gay?
Inside out could have done with a longer run time instead of having such a breakneck pace, it felt like I couldn’t grab a peice of popcorn without missing a joke or important dialogue, plot points were brought in and thrown away or resolved extremely rapidly. I can forgive all of that, but the biggest problem with the movie is that the anxiety attack in the climax shouldn’t have been THE climax, it was fantastic and it definitely needed to be part of the climax but compared to the first where Riley is about to run away and all of the emotions are at their low, the second one is just a penalty box, and a quick confrontation between joy and anxiety. Not to say that an anxiety attack isn’t horrible (God knows I understand) but dude, it took place over 3 minutes
@@Technoplane that doesn’t matter to me, i think its good they didn’t say that. The point of the film is that it doesn’t matter the outcome, they will love Riley no matter what. By keeping that information hidden from the audience we can’t make an expectation of riley “shes a great player” or “she’s not good enough”. the point is it doesn’t matter and it’s a journey my point is that they DONT resolve anxiety like they did with sadness, and by the end there really is no benefit to anxiety, they just make her calm down and install a chair for her to sit on instead of interfering which is unlike the ending they had for sadness where she was working together with joy and both were equally important to Riley. I would have liked just one scene of anxiety actually helping riley instead of joy telling her “none of that’s going to happen” which is basically exactly where the film started anyway
I think its almost the same as the first film however on the lenses of people where anxiety takes control than joy or other emotions. It relates to these people more, and the whole idea of drastic change in personality and beliefs when you've become a teen. I remember being top of my class then next year, i felt worthless. That drastic.
I agree with you. I feel like I pushed those stressful memories aside but thinking of it now, right before I entered middle school I used to be one of the top people in my class. After a couple years? I felt like I’m leagues behind the people that were behind me. And I know it’s not a good mindset, constantly comparing yourself to those around you. I’m happy this movie touched on that topic, hearing Riley say she wasn’t good enough hit different for me
I am relieved that this sequel did wonderful.... Familiar characters undergo new struggles, new characters become breakout stars and new territory is explored by the whole core emotions!
Personally, I felt that the movie was good. I still don’t have the highest of expectations for Disney/Pixar’s future, but this movie lived up to the original, even if it didn’t quite escape its shadow.
especially when the hero had to walk out of the vault then move while still walking to get out in tank controls. 🤣🤣It seemed only the gamers in the audience knew the reference.
Boy this is going to be a long one, but because Inside Out is my all time favorite movie, I'am going to explain my opinion. I think this is the first time I am going to almost completely disagree with you. In Pixar standard, yes it's doesn't have that kind of spark like in the past, BUT considering the state Disney is going now and how the world is improving, this movie is really good that makes me think "Oh yeah, this is Pixar movie that I remembered". I respect your opinion about the new cartoon characters, but I disagree that they are a major characters and them being a cartoon characters means they are only there for the laugh. This story is about Riley's emotion, so there's only going to be connect emotionally and I am very glad that this movie is pretty serious and only a few jokes (finally I have enough of jokes that I can't even understand and it's not funny at all). And I do agree a bit about Riley's darkest secrets can be explored more, BUT remember Riley's only 13 Years Old and it's the first time she hits puberty, so I think there's going many more years for her to experience her own darkest secret because in real life at least for me, when I hit puberty, I became more quieter and hold a lot of secrets so maybe we can see that when Pixar wants to make part 3. I am gonna be honest too, the first movie is more sadder BUT this second movie too come really close to that level of sad because this really hit home to me who already grow up and still trying to accept my good and bad self. And about the darkerst secret of Riley having a crush on a female video game character... I REALLY disagree with you, because do you even remember why one of the reasons why Lightyear failed ?? So I'm glad that Disney and Pixar doesn't take that route. Enouhh of my rambling, sorry if it's too long and to everyone who hasn't watch it, I really recommend you all to watch the movie because it really worth to watch. Peace ✌️
Imagine Riley actually had consequences at the end of the movie and got booted from the team and her friends didn’t just accept her back immediately. Imagine we have a semi happy kid friendly ending and then in the sequel it’s them dealing with everything that happened. In reality Riley’s friends are standoffish and he parents aren’t “getting it”. Inside the mind Joy notices she is losing her glow. And it’s revealed there was a secret new being manifesting in the shadows of Riley’s thoughts that is not rapidly gaining taking hold. It’s depression, and it is sneaking around the mind corrupting anything it can. As it does it gets stronger and corrupt more things. Its goal is the tower the emotions live in. It likes darkness and wants to put out ask the light. It’s revealed that it came into existence when Joy doubted herself in the second film and is linked to Joy. The more powerful depression gets the weaker Joy gets. As Joy fades about halfway through the movie she decides to put her hand on the control one last time to try to make Riley happy and hopefully fight back and reverse what depression is doing only to turn into a colorless immovable statue right at the wheel. Now the other emotions unable to move her can no longer able to take control cause Riley to go into a lethargic apathetic depressed state. Unable to be interested in anything she used to be interested in and unable to motivate herself to keep going. During the movie we cut off and on to the parents discussing how to help Riley and the emotions in there head discussing what they think is going on when incomes none other than nostalgia to tell them tell them “I remember when we battled with depression” sparking the parents to realize they didn’t need to “fix Riley” they need to support her right now. They go to her and instead of trying questioning her on her behavior or chastising her or telling her what they think they should do, they just sit with her and tell her they love her and that they are there to listen if she needs it. Followed by silence. It’s just quiet for a while as Riley doesn’t respond. Inside her head depression is celebrating that it’s over they have won. The emotions like been set up on depressions own control console he is constructing powered by all the captured “negative emotions” he sees through Riley that the parents are there and using his board and decides to give them an angry outburst so he presses the Anger and disgust buttons together shocking them and sending the signal and right as Riley goes to do snap at her parents she stops at that moment depression notices a flicker in the old control tower. A small golden light. Confused he decides to destroy the control tower all together but when he hits it doesn’t break. He notices color is begging to spread back to it and looks inside. Joy is still frozen at the old console but color is retuning. Riley’s parents look at her eyes and there emotions can see tell what’s happening and moms joy looks at sadness and with no words both put there hand on the wheel and mom grabs Riley and hugs her and says I know it your going though something and you have made some mistakes but they will always love her and be there for her. The dad puts his hand on her. As they do this color starts to spread across the brain in Riley’s head. Everything begins to brighten up and as it does depression begins to shrink and its controls console begins to crack. The characters inside the brain start getting there color back and start fighting back again realizing what’s going on. The love and support is giving them the spark to go on and it cuts to the tower. Joys eyes suddenly fade back in and her color starts to return. The love from her parents revived her but she is still very weak. The other emotions don’t see this but they somehow know joy is back. When joy froze a lot of the functions in Riley’s head stopped or started behaving wierd because her emotions were not well regulated but now with her back things started turning back on and she’s able to free the other emotions. They race back to the tower and join Joy. Together they take the controls together this time seemingly knowing what to do. All at once Riley proceeds to break down. She tells her parents she messed up and she’s sorry. She feels like she ruined everything and her friends hate her now. She feels like she lost everything that made her feel like herself and that she has felt like even the parents didn’t like her anymore. She unloads all the feelings she’s been having and as she does the inside of her brain lights up like a with an extreme intensity and create a flood of emotions that begins washing away to grey depression had covered things in. The parents and Riley talk for a while and it fades. Cut to 3 months later inside Riley’s head Joy is back on her feet and the emotions are running things and things seem better. Riley is hanging out with her friends and during all this we get joys narration that she was while she was left scared from the experience through overcoming it they all learned and grew from it and while they we’re able to defeat depression this time it’s still out there in the dark part of the mind and may never fully go away. Joy and the rest of the emotions work everyday to keep it from coming back and that’s all they can do. In the mean time they worked with Riley to repair her relationship with her friends and she was able to talk to her coach and took full responsibility for the choices she made. The coach forgave her and she should get to play again next year. Riley’s parents also learned to talk to Riley when she is struggling and not always try to just correct her behavior. In this they talk regularly about what’s going on and how Riley is feeling and it helps her dump the build up of negativity that creates the darkness depression hides in. She explains that things in the brain are rapidly getting more complex but it’s okay because with the support system they have now they are able to keep Riley from turning inside out .. the end.
i loved it. i actually loved it even more than the original. it was almost perfect to me. the first one to me dragged a little but this one kept me interested and intruiged the ENTIRE time. could go on a rant about both of the movies and honestly how genius they both are to me and how this to me is the perfect sequell and the portrayal of puberty and anxiety being exactly on point it was just amazinggg to me! only thing that left me a bit “eh” was embarrassment? i didnt quite understand why he ended up being the more sane and empathic one of the group? that did all the helping andd stuff. maybe if he was courage or something id understand? but if anyone could explain to me why it made sense for his character id love to hear it😭. it just felt like he didnt quite embody his emotion until that little quip at the end where he got loud n then embarrassed about it?
I think it was because embarassment can relate a lot to sadness Like when Riley was going to steal that book and read through it, envy, anxiety, and enwui would not feel bad about it at all but embarassment would because it is embarassing to go through a book and it would make you more likely to avoid it. Thats why often embarassment can lead to sadness and it makes sense that those two worked together. Embarassment feeling awkward shy about doing things would definietly be the first one to realize that what anxietys doing is wrong imo. For me, when Im feeling anxious, if its not joy or sadness pulling me out of it then its embarassment reminding me that doing any of the things my anxiety wants me to do would be humilating and then id go hide. Sorry if its hard to explain
If they hold back on trying to push stuff through and keep the quality, I would love some shorts of Inside Out just playing around with the characters and new emotions. I don't know how well they'd really do that but there's more they can do without straight up milking the series until people are sick of it. I hope future Pixar movies are still creative and even a little personal, cause stuff like Lightyear don't give me confidence they can just make standard fun movies that don't have a strong emotional core to them.
let me remind yall that if the world of inside out exists in our timeline, riley was born in 2010, making her gen alpha. edit: this is my second comment on a video to get 100 likes and over 10 comments, let THAT sink in now
SPOILERS. IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE MOVIE PLEASE STOP READING Ok the only issue i had with precisely the Anxiety attack (And this is WAY too personal so take it with a grain of salt, its just my opinion) But in a personal manner, when you have an Anxiety attack. You cannot just easily calmed down. What i would have loved to see is the friends stepping in, asking if Riley was ok (shes clearly not) then explain that she wasnt severely injured, it was an accident. All emotions being at HQ listen and Anxiety gains back "conciousness" with joy telling Anxiety to relax and take it easy. While in the real world they ease Riley and reassure her. Leading to perhaps Riley "beaking down" her emotions kinda what happened in the film originally but with more of a regretful voice, even feeling embarrassed from all the mistakes she has done. And they end up hugging Again this is just personal opinion, but all i can say is that at least when i have a first anxiety attack you cannot calm down on your own, like what happened in Puss in Boots 2 Edit: I thought the deep dark secret is that one guilty pleasure you have.... Yes not me self reflecting on my embarrassing Undertale phase (no its not me being a fangirl of Sans in a you know what way)
*I don't really know if we should compare this to the original film, but, I'm going to say this now anyway.* *The original film built on Joy and Sadness's bond as they tried to figure out how to get back to headquarters together. Watching Riley's mind slowly break down as the film continued on, was a nice little detail.* *This? I don't really know what Joy learned from any of this. Also, the chair, they weren't punishing Anxiety or anything, they were just giving her the space to calm down. Also, the anxiety attack right at the end, kinda scared me, it was just painful to watch Anxiety go into this panic mode and Riley suffering through it, until Joy finally stops it.* *Also Joy breaking down halfway through made me laugh on the inside, I never thought i'd see her snap finally*
15:35 Yeah, that's a bit of a stretch. With that said, the lake was established earlier, so I guess this solution is a... _deus nitendus ab machina_ "god leaning on the machine".
I didn’t think that joy would have died realistically I thought she was going to shrink or go through some kind of change to represent there being “less joy”
The only thing that I REALLY didn't like in the movie is the redesign of 12 year old Riley in the flashback, like at first I didn't even realise it was her , they also made her blonder wich i really didn't enjoy considering the fact I only was interested in the movie back in 2015 because I'd never seen a protagonist with dirty blonde hair like me
I really love the anxiety scene. I saw the movie in full recently, and I just couldn’t get over the slight humor of it all. Her brain literally became a Whirlwind of Anxiety, which was such a good metaphor to use, considering everything Riley was going through at the time.
I loved this movie so much dude, the anxiety attack is extremely accurate to how i’ve felt, i could feel it through the screen. And i love how relatable this movie is even for me as a 19 year old guy. I love how they know perfectly how to switch the tone from full on crying to comedy to light up the mood. I was 10 when the first came out and i watched it with my mom so i already pretty much liked riley and joy and it made it so much harder to see them both in such pain, especially riley since i KNOW how that feels 1:1 accuratly I honestly dont see how this movie is aimed at kids when it kinda feels more like a massive hug towards older teens like myself 🥲
And even the angle of trying to choose between the cool kids and the old friends is done perfectly. I mean her friends are going to a different highschool then her, so she is entering a highschool alone with her old friends and teammates and here is the girls from her new highschool and possible highschool team asking her to hang out with her. So perfect set up to give Riley the conflict.
Depression isn’t an emotion; it’s the lack of emotion actually. We’ve already seen it represented in the first film when disgust, fear and anger lose control over the console and it greys out. That’s depression. Having no grasp and acceptance over your emotions.
Now you bought back a question for me after seeing the movie, what would it be like if it was in the perspective of a person that is nero-divegent. For example, a person with autism or ADHD, as an autistic person, I view the inside of me as sort of running a nuclear power station rather than a boring control panel
It’s not universally hated, I see a decent amount of people praising in and this coming from someone who isn’t a fan of this sequel and has very conflicting opinions on the new emotions and even then there are some scenes that where cool just that they did hit as hard as the first instalment.
@@Ze-splattingmain I just hope it’s not another situation where like a few months later everyone starts hating it, because I mean it when I say this movie was good.
I feel like they could have used the sequel to continue the concept of mixed emotions instead of adding new random characters that were already kinda represented
32:02 I think they were trying to say that the book really meant Riley wasn’t ready because she is too young and anxiety misinterpreted that as she’s not good enough
13:27 … thing is, it actually was pretty crazy given the context of the film. The point of the ‘belief system’ and ‘sense of self’ was to demonstrate that the things anxiety causes Riley to do go completely against her old self as anxiety builds a new her. As other people are saying, anxiety can make things that seem insignificant feel massive, so I I feel like you kind of missed the point there. Also I agree with you that you shouldn’t have spoiled so much of the movie for yourself. I think I was able to appreciate the Easter eggs and puns so much more because I never watched the trailer. Overall I loved this movie, of course it wasn’t perfect but it was very well done.
I found it so genius that; 1. They made the characters say hey poachy to avoid silent awkwardness 2. The scene after the tube breaking and joy looking through memories in desperation hoping that if she slides through one it would reveal itself to be a happy memory that turned into a negative one, like in the first movie but she fails
Inside Out 2 feels so much smaller. The "Sarcasm" and "Brainstorm" are great world building, but they don't work too well as roadblocks because they aren't really a result of Riley's conflicting emotions. They're just a result of Riley growing up/literally thinking! (In the first movie, the roadblocks were Riley as a person breaking apart). Good movie- that I wish didn’t try to copy the same formula of the first movie and would have expressed its strong themes in a better way. Great humor, themes, and world building, but bad plot, and too fast paced so it’s emotional beats felt...rushed? edit: changed “didn’t felt” to just “felt”
@@JamorrisTysonnot really tbh. Like, there was no real destruction that happened in the mindscape. In the first movie, when Riley’s depression increases, the more her mind breaks. But here, Riley and her mind environments, while cool, didn’t feel as intertwined
TF they couldn't just kill joy, it wouldn't make sense, you can't "Delete an emotion"- I say, for example, the fact that sadness returns first through the tubes to the central amygdala might seem strange. I mean, why don't others do it too? Or why didn't they do that in the first movie? The answer is very simple: Inside Out was made/supervised by people who knew human psychology well. Riley during the second film experienced the new secondary emotions in sadness, so although it may seem senseless, the fact that sadness returns is due to the fact that the film follows the human nature of emotions, and that is why this choice can be a little ' meaningless in the eyes of some viewers.
I have many thoughts on all the intricate details of Inside Out 2. What are your opinions on the more smaller scale stuff? The stuff you think might not get mentioned in the usual discussion on the movie...?
Ill get back to u on that when i see it lol
EDIT: Its good!👍
9 likes and no replies? fell off
I love it finally a Pixar film that did not sucked
I kinda liked the Rumor Mill, and Mount Crushmore, and the literal Brainstorm.
A small thing I noticed was how well the new voice actors sounded like the old crew. I only noticed once in the whole movie with disgust in the sarcasm valley scene.
Spoilers Alert: I loved this film, and appreciated that Anxiety wasn't turned into a villain. Instead, it was normalised, and shows which it's important to keep it in check.
Not to mention, Maya Hawke nailed it with Anxiety. Whoever cast her for this role made a good call.

I'm hyped for Inside Out 5 when Nostalgia suddenly takes over the headquarters and leaves Riley in a midlife crisis.
Unironically, I really want more Inside Out movies just so we could see Riley grow up (Y'know like Andy from Toy Story) AND Nostalgia finally gets to come out of the closet and press a button on the control panel at last lmao.
And finally inside out 8 when all the emotions retire and the whole world shuts down
@@TaccRaccoon That would be depressing. The emotions taking one last tour, looking at all the core memories and reminiscing over them while the lights slowly turn off. Emotions fade to the point where only Sadness and Joy remain at a barely-dim board. Sadness disappears, with Joy being the only one left (like when Riley was born). A final goodbye, and then everything fades to black.
@@Dairunt1 damn.
@@TaccRaccoon You're overlooking Dementia.
no but really the scene where anxiety is frozen and crying and being chaotic at the same time pulled my heart strings..
because as someone with an anxiety disorder that's exactly how my anxiety feels like for me and for many others too you feel frozen in fear but at the same time chaotic confusion. anxiety feels so horrible it almost makes you cry of how overwhelming it can feel I really wished in the film where Riley is having the anxiety attack there could have been someone there comforting her maybe showing her some coping mechanisms a little something like that you know but overall I loved the film :]
same it was so realistic and relatable
@@bethanysingsmrs849I give it a 9.5

But the beautiful thing i've realized is how during Riley's panic attack the movie purposely focuses on these little things that help you calm down like sounds (Riley hearing her friends chatting), texture (when she touches the chair she's sitting on) or light peacefuly shining through the windows. To quiet your toughts you need to focus on the world surrounding you.
I feel like when Riley touched a surface while calming down, that reminded me of a bit of physical grounding, a technique to help with anxiety. Almost made me tear up when I saw that
favorite scenes:
- joy loses it
- pouchie gets mouth-assaulted
- the entire panic attack scene
- embarrassment's character arc
speaking of, where does pouchie get all those explosives?
Pouchie is from a zany cartoon, of course it has explosives, and probably a black hole 🕳️
🤔
Mouth-assaulted 🤨
Mouth assault being your favorite scene is wild
That's what I was said!😂 Dora never had a arsenal like that
For the low-stakes stuff, I kind of disagree. Anxiety can definitely make little stuff like this seem like facing the end of the world, especially as a teenager, and I was throughly invested in the plot through seeing it through Riley’s lenses.
Also, I think you’re misunderstanding the message about anxiety and the chair at the end of the movie.
The idea isn’t that anxiety is “bad” because Joy does put her planning skills to good use. She just needs to reel her back at times before she gets too out of hand. It’s possible to coexist with anxiety, just as long as you know how to control it, which is portrayed in that scene.

@@andromeda_nekoI think he just doesn’t experience much Anxiety himself (certainly not to the extent a teen girl would, whew) and doesn’t relate to the message.
I do think the "stakes" being a hokey game was well done. In retrospect, yeah its not that serious, but its supposed to be that way, it shows that anxiety can make the smallest things seem like a big deal but when the emotions get together all the stakes disappear.
Also Riley is a teenager at this point, her emotions are more extreme, to a 13 year old winning or losing a hockey game is like life or death
Tbh I feel like you ruined the movie for yourself by willingly spoiling yourself to hell and back 💀 Like your dissapointment with the movie is 100% a you problem, sorry. I didn't spoil myself at all and the "small" stakes still really hit for me and I felt like the movie did everything it needed to do. Maybe it's cause I'm technically still a teenager (tho just barely) so it was a lot more relatable for me but I was genuinely very invested in the plot and Riley's development felt natural.
Yeah he ruined it by watching every trailer and trying to make videos out of it lol
Though i guess you can blame Pixar for making so many trailers
I'm getting sick of how many trailers movies have now
as a grown ass adult, i really loved the movie too
Hell I kinda got spoiled from all the trailers they released and I still loved it
Right watching the trailers that literally tell EVERYTHING about the movie is literally the dumbest move you could make
Yeah. It’s understandable to have a hard time avoiding trailers and clips, especially when you make online content about them. But he could waited until after watching the movie to read the concept art books. That just created unrealistic expectations unfortunately.
It isn’t the old pixar we know and love, but its *definitely* a step in the right direction
We'll see where the moneys at in the shareholders eyes.

@@flowersoul6894 thanks much appreciated
@@flowersoul6894 That is not what I meant, I’m talking about theatrical releases, because I too, enjoy their Covid movies, such as Luca and Soul(I will make an exception for Turning Red, I did not like that movie at all😭).
If you compare the older Pixar movies(1995-2015), to the newer ones(2016-Present), you will see a *lot* of differences, most of their original stories now, lack what the older stories did. The stories now are bland, one dimensional, focus *heavily* on representation, which is good, but most of it feels forced most of the time. Take Wades sibling from Elemental, there was no reason to add them and their girlfriend into the story/scene, except for representation, it’s the same with other characters, such as Buzz’s best friend and her wife in Lightyear(I get this was technically a sequel, but whatever).
Now compare recent(2021-present) Pixar theatrical releases to other studios, such as Illuminations Mario Movie, Dreamworks’ Puss N’ Boots: The Last Wish, and Paramounts Sonic the Hedgehog 2(yes most of these are sequels, but Pixar is making money by pumping out sequels as well, there’s a fucking Toy Story 5 in the making). The cast for the Mario Movie was not extremely diverse, but it was still a good movie, Puss N’ Boots: The Last Wish didn’t have lgbtq representation, but it was still a good movie, Sonic the Hedgehog 2’s plot was generic, but well executed, which was what made it *a good movie*, and better than the first.
What I think Pixar doesn’t understand, is that they don’t need representation to make a movie good, they need to first write a script, then during character designing/development, they add in diverse characters that aren’t cookie cutter stereotypes. Do you see what I’m saying?
The old Pixar didn’t care if their characters were African American, Queer, Asian American, Mexican, etc., they cared about making movies with neat animation, a well fleshed out stories, and likable characters.
Older Pixar movies with great representation are The Incredibles and Ratatouille.
Now I don’t want to argue about something as stupid as liking movies because of “nostalgia”. I am 16, I do not like the older Pixar movies because of nostalgia. I like them because their stories are intriguing, the characters are fun, and worlds feel well fleshed out
After seeing Inside Out 2, I have to say, it was like a breath of fresh air, compared to other recent Pixar movies, but it’s not the best movie. The newer characters were not well fleshed out, other than “Val is so cool!” “Val made the Hockey Team as a Freshman!” “Val, Val, Val!” “Bree and Grace are Riley’s Friends!” “Bree and Grace are Moving!” “Let’s Hardly Show Bree and Grace in the Movie other than when Riley has a Panic Attack, or When she Wants to Fit in!”, I honestly forgot they existed until they showed up on screen again. I’d go on about other problems I had with the movie, but I’m tired, and this reply is already longer than it needs to be.
My point is that my comment is my opinion, as someone who wants to go into animation, character design, and/or script writing, and maybe work at a big company like Disney or Pixar one day, after seeing Inside Out 2, I feel there is hope for the company. If they focus on making movies that focus more on friendship and trust(like they used to be known for), and less on representation, then people, including myself, will think extremely highly of them once more.
Despite might not being Pixar's best movie ever, it's still quite refreshing to see them at least didn't screwed up the sequel and managed to put things back on track. Good job for them 👍

The more people like or satisfied it, the more people hate or unsatisfied.
I think you are a bit too caught up in the hypotheticals and concept artbook. I thought the movie did everything it needed to, and most of the concepts you pitch would only muddle the movie and moral. third act conflict with a non-established abstract darkness? We lose the conflict between joy and anxiety, which is very much the center of the movie's plot. Joy dying? Sure, i can mostly agree there, except for the amount of hoops they would have to go to in order to justify it or bring her back when it has been previously established that the adults in that universe still have joy, despite it not taking point (lead). Riley made the team? Are you completely sure they confirmed that when we only see Riley's reaction to the letter? Since you go so deep into hypotheticals, here's another option: it is an invite to return to camp next year talking bout her unready potential and the special case the coach can make to keep the trio of friends together despite going to different schools. That right there is a bit complicated an answer, but there are many similar simpler ones along the same lines.
Scope. That is the key. Everything you propose draws the scope too thin to function the way we have the movie now, but that doesnt mean the concepts cant be explored in later sequels as long as enough heart remains to keep the audiences around despite the growing anti-disney sentiment.
THIS
Actually, this was confirmed to be the last movie they made for inside out, and I believe it. This one was teased ever since the first was released.
@@plaidhatter1674 All that bit about a sequel is a subtle jab at broken hollywood. It is possible to take the scattered ideas and make a sequel, so current hollywood will be desperate to try if 2 proves to be a success. If the heart from the first 2 remains over all the culture wars, it will probably be fine for audiences, but breaking "the plan" is more likely to just backfire and ruin one of the few good stories disney/pixar has left. IP mining is a real problem. It doesnt matter if the CREATORS of that IP say it is being flushed down the drain and ruined, disney is going to mine it like their life depends on it, and some may say they are right about the concept but not the execution. Intended to be the last Inside Out movie? Corporate overlords dont care and will run it dry if they are allowed to.
i liked that again, it was the other emotions trying to supress the "bad memories" for Riley and that making her more susceptible to being taken over by the "negative" emotions and acting out in negative ways. And I liked that facing up to herself as joy also meant Riley needed to face up to her own actions and how it aligned with her newfound sense of self. It wasnt perfect, but it felt like a worthy story to tell within that universe and i laughed a good few times too

One thing I really liked that I feel like is pretty surface level stuff that everyone kinda picked up on was how Riley's actions and demeanor started becoming....well more anxious the longerAnxiety held the position as dominant emotion. Like, in the beginning, when she first use the board, Riley didnt seem anxious, rather someone who was just a bit nervous(??). But towards the climax before the big scrimmage, when she was talking to other girls, it really felt like Anxiety in a Riley skin costume. Idk if that makes sense since im not good at conveying it, but yea
Nervous is a synonym of anxious lol
In the anxiety attack scene, I was SOOO hoping that the friend Riley smacked into saw her going through that attack and would come to calm her down, comfort her through it. It would've been the perfect scene made up of compassion, forgiveness, and reconciliation just like the first one. And some relatablity of said friend having a panic attack and helping Riley ground her. THEY WERE SO CLOSE
Having just watched the film yesterday evening, I felt the same way. The film was great, it just felt a little bit rushed, especially near the climax. If Riley’s friend Grace had helped her to calm down during her panic attack, that would’ve been perfect!
@@Joy6168and why didn't they add a scene where she apologises to her teammates? They would have been PISSED at her. But next minute they are all friends again. Her behaviour would have gotten her not only not selected but benched for the rest of the game. It was a complete whiff.
Exactly@@deadpan_delivry7476! Thank you for pointing that out, that’s exactly what I was wondering when I watched the movie, too!
@@deadpan_delivry7476They… They did.
When you're in the middle of a anxiety attack, people trying to talk to you is nearly incomprehensible. And, at least in my case, i have a rebuttal for every solution someone could give me in that state. Talking to someone in that state is useless or possibly damaging to the relationship.
I think if they had an extra 30-45 minutes it would have definitely been better. To add on what you said about joy fading away, I think it would have been great if she appeared to the deep dark secret and tried to confront it and basically learn accept her secret, instead of the dark secret being a gag. They also could've explored the back of the mind more and made it more interesting. I wish they did more with the other new emotions, besides anxiety, since she was already explored enough. I also wished they explored the islands while going to the back of the mind. If they did that it would've been a 10/10 instead of a 9/10.
I totally agree that this movie suffered from a low run-time! There seems to have been ALOT cut out of the concepts which would've made it so much more impactful and introspective
Riley is 13 years old and comes from a loving two parent household and great friends. There is no big extravagant “deep dark secret” she would have
@@dreamergirlbaby Unfortunately that’s not quite true. Just because you have good parents and good friends, doesn’t mean you are automatically protected from all kinds of mistakes, accidents and traumas. Nor does it mean that you never feel scared or ashamed about something. Having a wonderful support network helps tremendously with understanding, dealing and coping with the things life throws at you - and admittedly can mean avoiding certain things that those who don’t have it will experience and make you more likely to be happier overall - but things will be thrown, no matter what. A person can have loving parents and great friends, and still be assaulted on the bus, or bullied at school. So Riley can absolutely have a deep dark secret. Anyone can.
Finally a Disney movie sequel that dose not suck ass for once
Remember although Pixar is under the umbrella of Disney, Pixar is still a separate entity for now.
And Pixar has a decent track record of movie sequels.

Remeber from the first movie that line about wondering what is going inside their head. The whole time I watched the second movie, I wanted to know what Val's head looked like. This movie showed other people's minds less.
Spoilers for the movie:
One thing I like about Inside Out 2 is the fact that they sort of gave Riley more autonomy compared to the first film. So it's not so much that her emotions control her every action, but only give her the "drive" to do certain things. Which mean Riley is capable of acting on her own even when the emotions aren't controlling her and she's more like a self-driving car where the emotions only take the wheel when necessary. And the scene where Riley apologises to her old friends is done by herself without the emotions doing anything to the controller.
And yeah, I actually wept during Riley's breakdown and when Anxiety goes berserk. I also like that Anxiety isn't treated like a villainous character and the film doesn't try to pick sides by acknowledging the flaws of Joy and Anxiety while also validating their concerns (i.e. Anxiety saying that Riley cannot always be goofing around especially during serious situations, Joy wanting Riley to not be constantly plagued by worries and relieve tension a bit).
I also think that the movie is more beneficial to watch WITHOUT seeing the trailers. While I did see one trailer and a few TV spots, I went into the film completely blank to get a better impression.
As someone with GAD, you have no idea how happy I am that anxiety was actually represented well with how it just takes control and steam rolls everything else because that’s unironically how it feels constantly
I actually enjoyed the film, it was like the good old fun days of pixar
No it's not. It's just better than the garbage they've been cranking out lately. You need better standards.
@@WobblesandBean to each their own
@@WobblesandBeannostalgia is bliss
I enjoyed it too but I wouldn't say its anywhere near the level of old Pixar stuff lol.
So, the only scene I would have maybe added is the coach asking Riley after the game what’s wrong, Riley coming clean(could have had honesty island start up as a call back) and the coach explain “oh, my note was that I wasn’t ready to make a decision about you… I used short hand because… well the notes are for my eyes only. Sometimes when you read things that aren’t meant for other peoples eyes you lack the context of their head space and cause yourself anxiety for no reason. If you were that anxious you should have just told me. Remember that for next time.” (That wording would lend credibility to the Riley made the team camp)
that is exactly what i thought they'd do right after I saw the note scene. Im surprised they didnt add it in because it shows a clearer side of Anxiety also struggling with thinking rationally due to clogging the mind with negative assumptions.
@@zitterx yea, the movie was a 9/10 for me, I would have bumped it to 10 if they had followed up on the note
I was expecting the same thing, and was shocked that it wasn’t added in.
That would've been a nice little scene to add.
Maybe the coach could've seen Riley have the anxiety attack and pull her aside afterwards and ask if she was okay and then what you suggest happens.
It was a bit weird how that plot thread got dropped.
Spoiler alert: I kind of wish that when they were hugging Rileys new self while she was having a panic attack, Nostelga just waddles past and touches the console to make Riley remember the times she had with friends and family and moments that calm her down a bit (i guess the hug from the others would also help). then at the end Nostelga could have been like 'oh dearie me! I'm still a little early arent I? I will be back soon' or something so she doesn't hang around.
I feel like I mostly wanted this so there was some kind of payoff for Nostelga :')
Would be cool as a moment, but I feel it would convey nostalgia is the solution to anxiety, which isn't the point.
I have a feeling that the scene where Joy goes absolutely hysterical is going to become a meme somehow.
Or editsss
oh it will eventually!
It seems to be heading in that direction!
I always thought pouchy was a rehash of toodles from mikey mouse clubhouse , bc disney… also “OHHHHH TOOOODLESSS” was basically “OHHHHH POUUUCHHYYYY” in this movie
This movie was honestly a 10/10 for me. As a teen girl with anxiety I related to Riley on a deep level. When Joy said “I guess that’s what happens when you grow up, you feel less joy” hit me so hard. It made me choke up. But the climax when Riley has the anxiety attack really broke me. I was sobbing. I hadn’t cried that hard for a movie since the opening scene of Wakanda Forever. I went to a trade school this year and my anxiety had been at an all time high because of it. I’ve been homeschooling since the 7th grade so being in an actual classroom again was just so overwhelming. I’ve had a few anxiety attacks this year in the shower. Anyways I really loved this movie.
The music during the anxiety attack part of the video was intense
XD
One thing I really like was that a lot of the Riley scenes were extremely cringe inducing, to the point I could barely watch the scene. Seeing as this movie is about growing to adolescence, It was most likely intentional, and was a nice thing to include.
24:00 I wish the deep dark secret was them saying Riley can talk toys,she has monsters in her closet and the fish in her dentist office talk to her. After hearing this Joy laughs "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to" She pats DDS on the back as he walks back into the vault 😀🥰 🤣
Spoilers:
Anxiety's seat isn't a "don't contribute you're bad" chair, it's anxiety's calm down zone. It's not to remove her from control it's to keep her in a healthy state of mind before she takes action.
After the 🏆3rd Toy Story I was not convinced to see a Pixar movie in theaters until 14 yrs later with this movie. The characters,scenario & stakes with Riley growing up outside of home are now fully realized. I'd give the sequel a 9.8 and the original a 5.5. I totally shouted at Pouchy at the screen in the crowded theatre. haha. I didn't give af. 🤣😛 I want to see Riley as a new parent someday.
I loved this movie so much dude, the anxiety attack is extremely accurate to how i’ve felt, i could feel it through the screen. And i love how relatable this movie is even for me as a 19 year old guy. I love how they know perfectly how to switch the tone from full on crying to comedy to light up the mood.
I was 10 when the first came out and i watched it with my mom so i already pretty much liked riley and joy and it made it so much harder to see them both in such pain, especially riley since i KNOW how that feels 1:1 accuratly
I honestly dont see how this movie is aimed at kids when it kinda feels more like a massive hug towards older teens like myself who have experienced these things
Spoiler alert real quick: when I was at the movie theater and the movie ended And it looked like she made the team It kid behind me, said I don’t think she made it and then I started laughing so hard that my sister slapped me
The same thing happened to me. One kid next to me said she didn’t make it out loud but it did get a good laugh for most of the audience.
32:15 I saw it as whenever Anxiety starts to overthink and plan for things that could hurt Riley in the long-run (like what she was doing the whole movie basically) they send her over there to calm her down and steer her towards things that she could take control of without hurting Riley. Like the Spanish test Joy mentioned.
In my opinion, it's better than the first one.
just saw it and i agree
For me it’s on the same tier with the first, it’s a good sequel
It’s more upbeat in some way for me
@@Sebbiiboiyea I think its because theres less steaks
I think that the second one is better but that it has more flaws than the first one did. For me, the parts real-world segments are more compelling in the second, same with the way that the new emotions interacted with the console. I also find it ironic that the emotion most likely to make you less erratic and more tired is sleeping at nighttime.
Just gotta say "anger" sleep fighting in his dreams was funny and adorable 💀
when pouchy asked that one line an entire family responded with their toddler and i thought it was sweet
I knew very well from the beginning that they couldn’t stop Anxiety. But they could get a grip on her overwhelming and controlling behavior. In a way, Joy and Anxiety are alike.
Also, I didn’t like the coach of the hockey team. I understand she was trying to be the authoritative figure, but it just rubbed the wrong way for me.
That's sadly realistic. Kids sports coaches are often incredibly toxic and take their role WAY too seriously.
@@WobblesandBean yeah these girls just started high school and she’s like a brick wall.
Best non Toy Story sequel,no doubt It.
fr
Oh absolutely
Calling it “Tropey” doesn’t give it justice when you’ve lived through similar circumstances.
15:22 earlier in the movie a piece of broccoli falls into the sarcasm. Later anxiety notices that broccoli in the beliefs place, showing that the sarcasm leads directly into the beliefs place. If you look at the scene where they cause the avalanche of memories, you will notice it leads directly into into the sarcasm.
So I thought this movie felt rushed. However there were a lot of good moments! I do think turning red handled the puberty side of things better (which I thought this movie would dive more into). 8/10
I don't agree with your thoughts on the anxiety chair reasoning. I don't think it's saying "You're a bad emotion, sit over there". I see it as she needs the chair to keep anxiety under control because uncontrolled anxiety causes problems.
Here's my theory, when Reilly got the text at the end of the movie she didn't make the team, but rather than show sadness joy took over as a way of saying it doesn't matter what the text says Reilly is happy because like it said in the book from the coach Reilly is not ready yet
Honestly, I did not care for the people in the vault. I didn't mind that they were just gags.
The movie was okay, it certainly doesn’t have the impact of the first film and there are somethings I liked and disliked about it.
I think the best part for me is where the old guard of emotions they have a lot more to them this time around especially with anger, the scene where he comforts joy and asks her kindly is while not evoking as some of the more emotional scenes in the last film did make me feel kinda nice and if anything fulled my desire to have the core emotion cast possibly expanded with more core emotions such as surprise and etc to make this feel like a full on team that mix and match and know each other inside and out countering each others weaknesses to help riley to their best advantage.
And joy saying that” when you get older you may feel less happy” tho once again didn’t hit as hard yet had some effect did have me think thats less of a maturing issue and more of a society issue I,ve ,seen adults be happy, some times more happy than kids, so take that s you will. It’s society that sucks the fun out of life.
In fact the only flaw I could think of regarding the old batch is that they kinda learned nothing from their last adventure and we see them suppressing/ outcasting memories which was the entire point the last film was making a point against suppressing bad memories and embracing them in order to over come them only to relearn that same lesson when they start the memory avalanche. And what makes this more jarring is that sadness is treated with respect which is what I expected but as soon as anxiety rocks up and shows what she’s capable of joy sorta dismisses her, even if she is a new emotion that just came out of the blue I would expect joy to come off a bit lighter on anxiety despite anxiety’s over exaggeration. And even if you make points that joy retains her lessons the film still goes the same route with anxiety who learns that the old emotions are just as important and the “new or complicated” emotions. Also the personality islands are now back to five instead of the nine they had at the und of the first film which is…off putting to say the least.
Specking of anxiety the new emotions are…fine to some extent tho they do kinda rub me the wrong way still, like for example while she definitely is the best in her squad anxiety just seems to be a form of anticipatory fear. And even in the end/climax where she causes a full on panic attack which was cool and was visually impressive but panic is just literally just sudden fear. And so with her existence I do feel a bit like the carpet was pulled under my feet because not only do I think they could do anxiety as a combination of two emotions but also I feel like they made the ending of the last film with the combinations of emotions to produce new emotions kinda redundant. We can now just introduce an emotion whenever we want dose kinda is a clash in my eyes even if I will admit I do have a bias for the old guard.
I found ennui to be…there. I personally don’t find boredom to be an emotion since it’s a lack of stimuli and huge majority of emotions need stimuli to work, and even if boredom is an emotion ennui more often represents apathy which is an absence of emotion. So Im conflicted to say the least.
Embarrassment kinda felt like a two dimensional character that only mumbles and groans which while yes make sense also kinda makes him not that interesting in my eyes and I would’ve like the idea of shame a lot more since for me shame is the core emotion behind embarrassment and if anything embarrassment is a lesser from of shame. I will say he’s still cute tho.
And envy is mostly anxiety’s side kick and almost enabler since she would encourage the rest and riley for that matter to fit into Val and co. So if anything she actually came out with the longest stick out of the three new emotions besides anxiety lol. Tho envy is a desire and desires and emotions are pretty different to me but I also don’t call the shots so what can I do.
Nostalgia I will say was a pretty missed opportunity and kinda felt more redundant than any of the new emotions combined only coming in to be a gag that came off as eye rolling. And I also think she could’ve helped even with her old frail body and getting lost in the past, along with joy she could’ve been a key part to fixing Riley’s sense of self making Riley remember that she was completely fine the way she was and maybe should return to how she was. Tho once again nostalgia is also a desire much like envy.
Lance,bloofy and the deep dark secret were fine tho I don’t have too many thoughts or feelings of them.
Bloofy just seems like diet bing bong (no offence) he even has a bottomless bag OH MY GOD how on the nose do you need to be.
Lance looks cool and the game details are a nice touch tho I will say I do have a question, if Riley has a crush on him and a crush which is a romantic interest or the evidence of love then where is love, if we are going out of our way to add things like anxiety then why isn’t their a love emotion. Maybe it will appear in a sequel but as I stated I much preferred the mixing a matching of emotions so this would rub be the wrong way even more but nothing talks louder than money.
And then we have the deep dark secret…he’s fine, he’s funny I will give him that and the dark secret makes some sense with how secretive he is tho I’m personally not vibing with the design, I would of preferred something that dwells in the dark or unclear to see, maybe a bit more monstrous so our imaginations run wild to what Riley is hiding something thats so forbidden that she has her mind lock it in a highly secure and heavily monitored jail complex essentially.
Also I think this film was pretty predictable, maybe if you didn’t watch the first film this would help but if you watched the first film you could pretty much just say “let me guess something goes wrong while the others are outside, they come back fix the problem have a touching scene and they have a even greater out come because the work together which results in a better out come” you could pretty much see this thing coming from miles away but the little hints of charm helped even if the main message was once again balance.
Overall Im not a lover of this film nor do I hate it but can’t help I would’ve been so much happier with the first instalment, because now I feel polarised. Im definitely not a fan of the new emotions but I don’t despise them. The older emotions are arguably improved but they lost some of the lessons they should’ve learnt in the last outing. And the plot follows an obviously similar plot to the first but introduces new ideas that at least change something.
I can definitely see why a lot of people like it but I may be the outlier here and say I would give it a 6/10, it has cool ideas and it’s visual eye candy which is guaranteed since it’s from Disney and Pixar but from someone who saw the first film it tracks a bit too close to it’s predecessor and doesn’t have a lot to surprise you if thats the case…which is funny because surprise isn’t a emotion based character in the base roster of emotions…lol.
I see where you're going with this. Like you honestly have pretty good points I never thought about but I wanted to like add something a bit if you don't mind
1st) about the thing where they relearn the lesson from the first movie. I see it as a thing of in the first movie, they learnt that each emotion is as important as the other and how you shouldn't suppress the negative emotions and stuff, while the second movie is abt how every memory is important and how you can't just keep the good ones and leave behind the bad just cause you think it'll be better for her (Riley) and how you shouldn't suppress those bad memories to try and control the kind of person Riley would be, but that she should decide for herself and stuff but I get what you mean since it sorta ends up following the same thing where anxiety basically suppresses the older emotions and takes over
2nd) about anxiety kinda being an extension of fear (or basically anticipatory fear). Like isn't it that those 2 are pretty different like how anxiety mention in the movie "fear is dealing with the threat she sees, anxiety deals with the future" or something along those lines. In a way, anxiety more so intesifies the fear of things that haven't even happened at all that lead to, in the case of the movie, a panic attack. But I could be wrong
3rd) is nostalgia. Honestly I see her appearances as something that make sense to me. Like I saw it as like the random feeling of nostalgia you get when you maybe try a type of food from a really long time ago or hear a song from a really long time ago then you get those flashbacks/feelings and whatnot but it doesn't last long, hence the other emotions quickly kicking her out when she shows up
But overall, I loved your commentary and how I was able to see the movie from your point of view😊
I agree that the "Deep Dark Secret" was a complete letdown. I was really hoping for them to go all out with it, but man, talk about a wasted opportunity.
im glad they didnt in this film. I dont like to think what deep dark secret a 13 year old has. Maybe in ten years we will get the reveal that riley is adopted and dealing with that lol a new emotion, Resentment lol
Yea I was curious about what her deep dark secret could be at 13? Like it could be she's adopted or as everyone has been saying and its lame she's gay?
in the post credits scene, it was revealed that the secret was Riley burning a hole in a rug
Inside out could have done with a longer run time instead of having such a breakneck pace, it felt like I couldn’t grab a peice of popcorn without missing a joke or important dialogue, plot points were brought in and thrown away or resolved extremely rapidly. I can forgive all of that, but the biggest problem with the movie is that the anxiety attack in the climax shouldn’t have been THE climax, it was fantastic and it definitely needed to be part of the climax but compared to the first where Riley is about to run away and all of the emotions are at their low, the second one is just a penalty box, and a quick confrontation between joy and anxiety. Not to say that an anxiety attack isn’t horrible (God knows I understand) but dude, it took place over 3 minutes
Yeah, the whole thing just felt super rushed. If there is an Inside Out 3, i hope it has enough time to tell the story properly
I can’t remember where I saw this quote from, but it pretty much summed up my feelings on this movie. “More mature, but less impactful.”
Wait... It ALMOST STUCK THE LANDING?
That's rare.
tbh yeah it probably stuck the landing, but it did need maybe an extra scene or two near the end
@@mavisseafoamfr like what if the coach just said she’s not on the team and she realized she can go to the same high school as her friends
Inside out made the landing completely!
@@Technoplane that doesn’t matter to me, i think its good they didn’t say that. The point of the film is that it doesn’t matter the outcome, they will love Riley no matter what. By keeping that information hidden from the audience we can’t make an expectation of riley “shes a great player” or “she’s not good enough”. the point is it doesn’t matter and it’s a journey
my point is that they DONT resolve anxiety like they did with sadness, and by the end there really is no benefit to anxiety, they just make her calm down and install a chair for her to sit on instead of interfering which is unlike the ending they had for sadness where she was working together with joy and both were equally important to Riley. I would have liked just one scene of anxiety actually helping riley instead of joy telling her “none of that’s going to happen” which is basically exactly where the film started anyway
Well, We do see pouchy again as a companion of Anger. 16:10
I think its almost the same as the first film however on the lenses of people where anxiety takes control than joy or other emotions. It relates to these people more, and the whole idea of drastic change in personality and beliefs when you've become a teen. I remember being top of my class then next year, i felt worthless. That drastic.
I agree with you. I feel like I pushed those stressful memories aside but thinking of it now, right before I entered middle school I used to be one of the top people in my class. After a couple years? I felt like I’m leagues behind the people that were behind me. And I know it’s not a good mindset, constantly comparing yourself to those around you. I’m happy this movie touched on that topic, hearing Riley say she wasn’t good enough hit different for me
I am relieved that this sequel did wonderful.... Familiar characters undergo new struggles, new characters become breakout stars and new territory is explored by the whole core emotions!
I havent seen the movie yet but i look forward to it
Personally, I felt that the movie was good. I still don’t have the highest of expectations for Disney/Pixar’s future, but this movie lived up to the original, even if it didn’t quite escape its shadow.
I can't be the only one who was mesmerized asf whenever an emotion entered the sense of self right? *That place was majestic af-*
My favorite part was where the npc hero guy walks like a video game character and it literally made me bust out laughing.
especially when the hero had to walk out of the vault then move while still walking to get out in tank controls. 🤣🤣It seemed only the gamers in the audience knew the reference.
@@mario-mario822 yes that was where it got a laugh out of me. lol
Whoah whoah whoah lets not get hasty here. Luca and soul were solid movies tho.
Boy this is going to be a long one, but because Inside Out is my all time favorite movie, I'am going to explain my opinion.
I think this is the first time I am going to almost completely disagree with you. In Pixar standard, yes it's doesn't have that kind of spark like in the past, BUT considering the state Disney is going now and how the world is improving, this movie is really good that makes me think "Oh yeah, this is Pixar movie that I remembered". I respect your opinion about the new cartoon characters, but I disagree that they are a major characters and them being a cartoon characters means they are only there for the laugh. This story is about Riley's emotion, so there's only going to be connect emotionally and I am very glad that this movie is pretty serious and only a few jokes (finally I have enough of jokes that I can't even understand and it's not funny at all). And I do agree a bit about Riley's darkest secrets can be explored more, BUT remember Riley's only 13 Years Old and it's the first time she hits puberty, so I think there's going many more years for her to experience her own darkest secret because in real life at least for me, when I hit puberty, I became more quieter and hold a lot of secrets so maybe we can see that when Pixar wants to make part 3.
I am gonna be honest too, the first movie is more sadder BUT this second movie too come really close to that level of sad because this really hit home to me who already grow up and still trying to accept my good and bad self.
And about the darkerst secret of Riley having a crush on a female video game character... I REALLY disagree with you, because do you even remember why one of the reasons why Lightyear failed ?? So I'm glad that Disney and Pixar doesn't take that route.
Enouhh of my rambling, sorry if it's too long and to everyone who hasn't watch it, I really recommend you all to watch the movie because it really worth to watch.
Peace ✌️
Imagine Riley actually had consequences at the end of the movie and got booted from the team and her friends didn’t just accept her back immediately. Imagine we have a semi happy kid friendly ending and then in the sequel it’s them dealing with everything that happened. In reality Riley’s friends are standoffish and he parents aren’t “getting it”. Inside the mind Joy notices she is losing her glow. And it’s revealed there was a secret new being manifesting in the shadows of Riley’s thoughts that is not rapidly gaining taking hold. It’s depression, and it is sneaking around the mind corrupting anything it can. As it does it gets stronger and corrupt more things. Its goal is the tower the emotions live in. It likes darkness and wants to put out ask the light. It’s revealed that it came into existence when Joy doubted herself in the second film and is linked to Joy. The more powerful depression gets the weaker Joy gets. As Joy fades about halfway through the movie she decides to put her hand on the control one last time to try to make Riley happy and hopefully fight back and reverse what depression is doing only to turn into a colorless immovable statue right at the wheel. Now the other emotions unable to move her can no longer able to take control cause Riley to go into a lethargic apathetic depressed state. Unable to be interested in anything she used to be interested in and unable to motivate herself to keep going. During the movie we cut off and on to the parents discussing how to help Riley and the emotions in there head discussing what they think is going on when incomes none other than nostalgia to tell them tell them “I remember when we battled with depression” sparking the parents to realize they didn’t need to “fix Riley” they need to support her right now. They go to her and instead of trying questioning her on her behavior or chastising her or telling her what they think they should do, they just sit with her and tell her they love her and that they are there to listen if she needs it. Followed by silence. It’s just quiet for a while as Riley doesn’t respond. Inside her head depression is celebrating that it’s over they have won. The emotions like been set up on depressions own control console he is constructing powered by all the captured “negative emotions” he sees through Riley that the parents are there and using his board and decides to give them an angry outburst so he presses the Anger and disgust buttons together shocking them and sending the signal and right as Riley goes to do snap at her parents she stops at that moment depression notices a flicker in the old control tower. A small golden light. Confused he decides to destroy the control tower all together but when he hits it doesn’t break. He notices color is begging to spread back to it and looks inside. Joy is still frozen at the old console but color is retuning. Riley’s parents look at her eyes and there emotions can see tell what’s happening and moms joy looks at sadness and with no words both put there hand on the wheel and mom grabs Riley and hugs her and says I know it your going though something and you have made some mistakes but they will always love her and be there for her. The dad puts his hand on her. As they do this color starts to spread across the brain in Riley’s head. Everything begins to brighten up and as it does depression begins to shrink and its controls console begins to crack. The characters inside the brain start getting there color back and start fighting back again realizing what’s going on. The love and support is giving them the spark to go on and it cuts to the tower. Joys eyes suddenly fade back in and her color starts to return. The love from her parents revived her but she is still very weak. The other emotions don’t see this but they somehow know joy is back. When joy froze a lot of the functions in Riley’s head stopped or started behaving wierd because her emotions were not well regulated but now with her back things started turning back on and she’s able to free the other emotions. They race back to the tower and join Joy. Together they take the controls together this time seemingly knowing what to do. All at once Riley proceeds to break down. She tells her parents she messed up and she’s sorry. She feels like she ruined everything and her friends hate her now. She feels like she lost everything that made her feel like herself and that she has felt like even the parents didn’t like her anymore. She unloads all the feelings she’s been having and as she does the inside of her brain lights up like a with an extreme intensity and create a flood of emotions that begins washing away to grey depression had covered things in. The parents and Riley talk for a while and it fades. Cut to 3 months later inside Riley’s head Joy is back on her feet and the emotions are running things and things seem better. Riley is hanging out with her friends and during all this we get joys narration that she was while she was left scared from the experience through overcoming it they all learned and grew from it and while they we’re able to defeat depression this time it’s still out there in the dark part of the mind and may never fully go away. Joy and the rest of the emotions work everyday to keep it from coming back and that’s all they can do. In the mean time they worked with Riley to repair her relationship with her friends and she was able to talk to her coach and took full responsibility for the choices she made. The coach forgave her and she should get to play again next year. Riley’s parents also learned to talk to Riley when she is struggling and not always try to just correct her behavior. In this they talk regularly about what’s going on and how Riley is feeling and it helps her dump the build up of negativity that creates the darkness depression hides in. She explains that things in the brain are rapidly getting more complex but it’s okay because with the support system they have now they are able to keep Riley from turning inside out .. the end.
I heard the spoiler warning so decided to check the time and it was SIX MINUTES!?? That was the longest 6 minutes of my LIFE
i loved it. i actually loved it even more than the original. it was almost perfect to me. the first one to me dragged a little but this one kept me interested and intruiged the ENTIRE time. could go on a rant about both of the movies and honestly how genius they both are to me and how this to me is the perfect sequell and the portrayal of puberty and anxiety being exactly on point it was just amazinggg to me! only thing that left me a bit “eh” was embarrassment? i didnt quite understand why he ended up being the more sane and empathic one of the group? that did all the helping andd stuff. maybe if he was courage or something id understand? but if anyone could explain to me why it made sense for his character id love to hear it😭. it just felt like he didnt quite embody his emotion until that little quip at the end where he got loud n then embarrassed about it?
I think it was because embarassment can relate a lot to sadness Like when Riley was going to steal that book and read through it, envy, anxiety, and enwui would not feel bad about it at all but embarassment would because it is embarassing to go through a book and it would make you more likely to avoid it. Thats why often embarassment can lead to sadness and it makes sense that those two worked together. Embarassment feeling awkward shy about doing things would definietly be the first one to realize that what anxietys doing is wrong imo. For me, when Im feeling anxious, if its not joy or sadness pulling me out of it then its embarassment reminding me that doing any of the things my anxiety wants me to do would be humilating and then id go hide. Sorry if its hard to explain
If they hold back on trying to push stuff through and keep the quality, I would love some shorts of Inside Out just playing around with the characters and new emotions. I don't know how well they'd really do that but there's more they can do without straight up milking the series until people are sick of it. I hope future Pixar movies are still creative and even a little personal, cause stuff like Lightyear don't give me confidence they can just make standard fun movies that don't have a strong emotional core to them.
let me remind yall that if the world of inside out exists in our timeline, riley was born in 2010, making her gen alpha.
edit: this is my second comment on a video to get 100 likes and over 10 comments, let THAT sink in now
Huh. That's the exact year that I was born.
(No wonder why I hate my generation.)
There should have been a Subway Surfers reference and a Family Guy reference.
No, gen Alpha is 2013
I thought inside out 2 could take place in 2017 considering she was 11 in 2015 (if it even takes place in 2015)
Nah, she was 11 in 2015, thats born in 2004
•Rank the emotions Dazz 🔥🔥🔥
•Pixar saying this will be the last of this franchise i hope is cap
•Number wise & quality wise, a classic👏🏽👏🏽
Wait, it'll be the last? Where did you hear that?

SPOILERS. IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE MOVIE PLEASE STOP READING
Ok the only issue i had with precisely the Anxiety attack (And this is WAY too personal so take it with a grain of salt, its just my opinion)
But in a personal manner, when you have an Anxiety attack. You cannot just easily calmed down. What i would have loved to see is the friends stepping in, asking if Riley was ok (shes clearly not) then explain that she wasnt severely injured, it was an accident. All emotions being at HQ listen and Anxiety gains back "conciousness" with joy telling Anxiety to relax and take it easy. While in the real world they ease Riley and reassure her. Leading to perhaps Riley "beaking down" her emotions kinda what happened in the film originally but with more of a regretful voice, even feeling embarrassed from all the mistakes she has done. And they end up hugging
Again this is just personal opinion, but all i can say is that at least when i have a first anxiety attack you cannot calm down on your own, like what happened in Puss in Boots 2
Edit: I thought the deep dark secret is that one guilty pleasure you have.... Yes not me self reflecting on my embarrassing Undertale phase (no its not me being a fangirl of Sans in a you know what way)
I personally feel if they make a 3rd one they should make the villain/ new problem depression, he/she would take over slowly tearing apart Riley
*I don't really know if we should compare this to the original film, but, I'm going to say this now anyway.*
*The original film built on Joy and Sadness's bond as they tried to figure out how to get back to headquarters together. Watching Riley's mind slowly break down as the film continued on, was a nice little detail.*
*This? I don't really know what Joy learned from any of this. Also, the chair, they weren't punishing Anxiety or anything, they were just giving her the space to calm down. Also, the anxiety attack right at the end, kinda scared me, it was just painful to watch Anxiety go into this panic mode and Riley suffering through it, until Joy finally stops it.*
*Also Joy breaking down halfway through made me laugh on the inside, I never thought i'd see her snap finally*
15:35 Yeah, that's a bit of a stretch. With that said, the lake was established earlier, so I guess this solution is a... _deus nitendus ab machina_ "god leaning on the machine".
I didn’t think that joy would have died realistically I thought she was going to shrink or go through some kind of change to represent there being “less joy”
I give it a 9.5/10 solid movie. Only gripe I had with it was one scene i thought was a tad bit forced but other than that it was amazing
Also I heard the post credit scene shows what Reilys Deep Dark Secret is
U might say Reilys Sense of Self is who she really is and Anxiety is just gas lighting her
The only thing that I REALLY didn't like in the movie is the redesign of 12 year old Riley in the flashback, like at first I didn't even realise it was her , they also made her blonder wich i really didn't enjoy considering the fact I only was interested in the movie back in 2015 because I'd never seen a protagonist with dirty blonde hair like me
i think it stuck the landing. i was pleasantly surprised with the movie. i think its on par with the first. maybe a little better
though fears voice was definitely a downgrade
I really love the anxiety scene. I saw the movie in full recently, and I just couldn’t get over the slight humor of it all. Her brain literally became a Whirlwind of Anxiety, which was such a good metaphor to use, considering everything Riley was going through at the time.
I loved this movie so much dude, the anxiety attack is extremely accurate to how i’ve felt, i could feel it through the screen. And i love how relatable this movie is even for me as a 19 year old guy. I love how they know perfectly how to switch the tone from full on crying to comedy to light up the mood.
I was 10 when the first came out and i watched it with my mom so i already pretty much liked riley and joy and it made it so much harder to see them both in such pain, especially riley since i KNOW how that feels 1:1 accuratly
I honestly dont see how this movie is aimed at kids when it kinda feels more like a massive hug towards older teens like myself 🥲
And even the angle of trying to choose between the cool kids and the old friends is done perfectly. I mean her friends are going to a different highschool then her, so she is entering a highschool alone with her old friends and teammates and here is the girls from her new highschool and possible highschool team asking her to hang out with her. So perfect set up to give Riley the conflict.
11:45 They had a whole "spilling the tea" bit early in the film
There is hundreds if not billions of emotions that you can choose from to be new cast members
Manage to watch the movie spoiler free.
Really enjoyed it
Finally an honest review that does more than say "it's good but not as good as the first"
I personally am waiting for the 3rd movie were Riley gets the new emotion Depression and Confusion.
Depression isn’t an emotion; it’s the lack of emotion actually. We’ve already seen it represented in the first film when disgust, fear and anger lose control over the console and it greys out. That’s depression. Having no grasp and acceptance over your emotions.
@@AuriPlayzz Dude I just made this comment for a joke and I have actually delt with depression so I know what it is.
Now you bought back a question for me after seeing the movie, what would it be like if it was in the perspective of a person that is nero-divegent. For example, a person with autism or ADHD, as an autistic person, I view the inside of me as sort of running a nuclear power station rather than a boring control panel
17:22 they did reveal the secret as an end credit scene it was that she burnt a hole in the rug
At the end of Inside Out 2 I cried happy tears.
Of course. Every time it seems like this sequel is finally getting respect, someone has to prove that it's actually universally hated.
It’s not universally hated, I see a decent amount of people praising in and this coming from someone who isn’t a fan of this sequel and has very conflicting opinions on the new emotions and even then there are some scenes that where cool just that they did hit as hard as the first instalment.
@@Ze-splattingmain I just hope it’s not another situation where like a few months later everyone starts hating it, because I mean it when I say this movie was good.
@@sonicfan9144I hope so as well.
@@sonicfan9144yeah
@@sonicfan9144for real people would rather spent their time on hating instead something they love.
This movie is getting Best Animated Feature at next year’s Oscars.
I came into the theater a couple minutes late, so I had to just infer what the “belief” thing was
I feel like they could have used the sequel to continue the concept of mixed emotions instead of adding new random characters that were already kinda represented
Me: I did tear up...I feel when you've recently gone through something like this a couple years back, then you feel it
32:02 I think they were trying to say that the book really meant Riley wasn’t ready because she is too young and anxiety misinterpreted that as she’s not good enough
Unlike Riley, I had anxiety since I was in pre-k and a therapist figured it out fast. I wish mine waited until teen years lol
13:27 … thing is, it actually was pretty crazy given the context of the film. The point of the ‘belief system’ and ‘sense of self’ was to demonstrate that the things anxiety causes Riley to do go completely against her old self as anxiety builds a new her. As other people are saying, anxiety can make things that seem insignificant feel massive, so I I feel like you kind of missed the point there. Also I agree with you that you shouldn’t have spoiled so much of the movie for yourself. I think I was able to appreciate the Easter eggs and puns so much more because I never watched the trailer. Overall I loved this movie, of course it wasn’t perfect but it was very well done.
I found it so genius that;
1. They made the characters say hey poachy to avoid silent awkwardness
2. The scene after the tube breaking and joy looking through memories in desperation hoping that if she slides through one it would reveal itself to be a happy memory that turned into a negative one, like in the first movie but she fails
Inside Out 2 feels so much smaller. The "Sarcasm" and "Brainstorm" are great world building, but they don't work too well as roadblocks because they aren't really a result of Riley's conflicting emotions. They're just a result of Riley growing up/literally thinking! (In the first movie, the roadblocks were Riley as a person breaking apart). Good movie- that I wish didn’t try to copy the same formula of the first movie and would have expressed its strong themes in a better way. Great humor, themes, and world building, but bad plot, and too fast paced so it’s emotional beats felt...rushed?
edit: changed “didn’t felt” to just “felt”
Idk those road blocks were made by anxiety pushing Reilly to her extreme doing things she wouldn't do in her in a rational state
@@JamorrisTysonnot really tbh. Like, there was no real destruction that happened in the mindscape. In the first movie, when Riley’s depression increases, the more her mind breaks. But here, Riley and her mind environments, while cool, didn’t feel as intertwined
TF they couldn't just kill joy, it wouldn't make sense, you can't "Delete an emotion"-
I say, for example, the fact that sadness returns first through the tubes to the central amygdala might seem strange. I mean, why don't others do it too? Or why didn't they do that in the first movie? The answer is very simple: Inside Out was made/supervised by people who knew human psychology well. Riley during the second film experienced the new secondary emotions in sadness, so although it may seem senseless, the fact that sadness returns is due to the fact that the film follows the human nature of emotions, and that is why this choice can be a little ' meaningless in the eyes of some viewers.
Of course my favorite character is the one with like 5 scenes... (My favorite is Envy)
The first Inside Out movie hit me like a ton of bricks, and still does, partly bc my name is Riley lol
22:24 I did cry but that is because I connected with the anxiety even though I've never been attacked by it
No, no it completely stuck the landing.
