I love how Anxiety isn't depicted as a villain. She's a normal emotion who means well like the others, while also showing why it's important to keep it in check.
Yeah ,just like some bit messed-up folks in real life ,She's got good intentions ,just not doing by the right way. Plus also I'm glad they didn't kicked her out like the usual hero beats the villain way we seen alot. Realistically ,I heard countless times by other people feelings like anger ,high hopes should be ignored. I came to realize never to do that ,because...for instance,Instead of ditching anger off all the time ,why not control it and use the power more productively ,like using the anger from the other day to your workout session today. Same goes for Pain ,Sometimes pain is worth the result and remembering it makes us to be proud of ourselves that we went through no matter what ,like that old saying No pain ,No gain. By far ,I could I enjoyed this movie once a while ,just like I enjoyed DP&Wolverine. The next disney movie this year I'm waiting for is Mufasa. Let's hope it will be good as this.
The only thing I found a little offensive in its implication is the fact that Riley got a hold of her anxiety in THREE FUCKING DAYS! As someone who suffers from anxiety, I was flabbergasted.
@@kratosGOW Well... it's a Disney movie, ending in a bad place would be troublesome for them. But I get you, i'm autistic, this axiety shit is almost my whole life.

the quote "maybe this is what happens when you grow up, you feel less joy" is such a messed up but a real thing that we deal with, we do grow up and see more of the world with how it works and how messy things can be and we start to value things differently, coming from someone who watch the first one 9 years ago and so much has changed since then, Pixar knew that this quote had to be shown to the people who grew up in that time frame too
As a child I didn't want to grow up because adults seem so unhappy and angry all the time. Now I know it depends on your choices in life, the job you choose, the partner you choose, but most of all on the person who you want to be, keeping true to yourself and don't listen to expectations society has on you. I'm almost 50, but I still play with videogames, spend my time reading and watching movies and I tend to not listen to other people saying what I should do with my life. It wasn't always like this, I had some really bad days in the past, but I decided to be true to myself.
@@serial92989Same. And I just said that to my mom over a year ago. I deal with frequent chronic depression and anxiety, particularly when it comes to where I am in my life. And I literally said that. This film reads us so well
ngl, this movie is the most realistic one to me. It is so relatable to today's teenagers. That panic attack and "I'm selfish. i'm kind, i'm not good enough... I need to fit in, but i wanna be myself." Always GOT ME😢😢😢
Not just teenagers. Idk if I’m a normal but I still go through these stresses and frustrations all the time , and I’m in my late twenties. Self esteem, anxiety, panic attacks. i literally can describe how I feel when I’m having an anxiety /panic attack so when Riley and anxiety went through that, I literally started having a panic attack in the theater too. I was breathing hard and couldn’t stop crying. This movie was an acid trip.
One thing I only noticed watching your reaction is that in the first movie, Sadness told Joy, "Riley needs you." In this one, Sadness tells her, "Riley wants you." Joy was right in saying adults feel less joy, so as adults, sometimes we need to consciously force Joy back into the driver's seat.
Had me absolutely howling with laughter. You can just hear the writers going "Get it, because we're in the brain?! Are you tired of these jokes yet?!" lmao.
That single tear Anxiety sheds when she's stuck in a storm of emotions, willing but unable to stop herself, really got to me. I suffered a panic attack on the day I lost the first apprenticeship in the job I work in today.
No wonder this movie reached a billion dollars because it is an excellent, emotional follow-up to the first movie. I truly loved how they depicted Anxiety since even though she the's the main antagonist, she still wants what is best for Riley, just like Joy did in the first movie without realising how much she was shutting out other essential emotions ad was actually hurting Riley. I also appreciate how they made Riley more of a relatable character while simultaneously following her emotions and learning that they don't control who Riley is. I hope they keep exploring new emotions in potential future sequels because there is still so much room to explore other potential emotions and relatable stages of life.
If I had grown up watching both of these movies when I was a child, I would’ve been so much more emotionally, healthy as an adult because I wouldn’t have tried to suppress all of my negative emotions as much as I did as a child.
That group hug of all of the emotions, just hugging her sense of self, always gets me in tears because, in a way, they’re all hugging her when she needs it the most🥺🥹❤

I like how the movie also put emotions together for a specific part to become a meaning. One example is Embarrassment hiding Sadness from the others not only so she isn't found but because when you get older sometimes you feel it's embarrassing to cry so you try to hide it. This movie is so well done, I love Inside Out

From a psychological point of view, this movie is incredible. It describes very well the main difference between the identity of a child and the identity of a teen or an adult. As children, we see ourselves as perfect paradigms of good and the world is mostly a nice place to live (if we are lucky and everything goes well). Then as teens (again, if everything goes right) we discover that we are not perfect and the world sucks. It usually takes many years to learn to accept our flaws and imperfections as part of us instead of fighting against them. We should build around our weaknesses instead of ignoring them. That way, we have the chance to grow over them instead of creating a delusional world and a delusional self. Delusions always end up colliding with reality and as adults those crashes are so much harder to survive to...
You're gonna find it so wild to look back and realize how insignificant all these fears were. Not because they're not valid or something but because there are so many ways everything could work out. Or maybe it goes wrong at first but you find a new way eventually.
I'm too tired to be anxious before bed but it hits me in the mornings a lot seemingly for nothing, maybe it's because I smoke ii i dunno, Try anything that relaxes you before bed, I bought essential oils to mist in the air but that's just me everyone's anxiety feels different
I watched this one yesterday with my nephew of 11 years old. It was a very good conversation starter about emotions. He said: "well...at least it's just for a couple of years. When you're 18 everything will be normal". 😅 so sweet ❤
In the post credits scene the adults did have the extra emotions. They are just at the back curtain. Mostly they are added emotions essential to growth but as you may know when you grown u tend to control these extra facets more so the movie did make sense that these new emotions were teens as depicted since they really are mostly present during puberty
Joy's meltdown is will never stop being hilarious. "Jiminy mother living toaster studel!"😂 Also, 37:12 that line hit me like a freight traun in the theater.
The anxiety attack scene makes me cry everytime because that’s exactly how it is.. frozen and uncontrollable for that moment.. ur heart sinks and u feel numb.. the way joy says “anxiety you have to let her go” makes me cry
This movie hit me harder than the first one. I think because this themes are closer to a grownup life. It's really more complex, not just Joy and Sadness like in the first one.
As someone who has genetic anxiety and depression Inside Out 2 made me laugh and cry in ways I had never done before. I felt TRULY seen watching this movie when Riley had her anxiety attack. I even cried a little because it’s the most accurate depiction of what it looks like inside the brain of someone who is suffering from an anxiety attack. And even when she didn’t have her attack, it felt accurate because people with genetically high anxiety like me always have millions of ideas rushing through their mind at all times for all scenarios, barely ever resting. But what made me fully cry was when Riley had her new sense of self created and had her moment of catharsis with Bree and Grace when she apologizes to them. Both of the Inside Out films are masterpieces in my opinion, and I hope to god we get a 3rd one that is equally as great.
I watched this twice in cinema (though i wish i could go more times). One of the thing i took away was that the emotions had been driving Rileys choices and action, but at the end, Riley was more in control of what she need to feel at the moment. (Calling Joy to the console)
I didn't expect such a river of emotion in the third act of this movie. This story was a slow burn. I haven't cried this hard since Coco... Damn, I've never cried this much in a movie 😭
this movie hit me honestly a LOT harder than the first movie. I cry while watching the first one, but for this one, i SOB MY EYES OUT every time. i just relate so much. both movies have important messages, but the second one is just an insane sucker punch to the gut while being simultaneously healing
I personally have mixed feelings about it. I get that it makes sense for teenagers to care more about their friends than their family but I always felt like Riley had a really special relationship with her family so it was kinda sad that they don't mean as much to her now. Again, it's realistic in the sense that Riley is a teenager now but again, they always seemed to have a special bond that I feel like it could've remained through her teenage years. I like to think it'll grow again in a year or two. Maybe sooner.
@@BeeKee404 It's definitely a mixed feelings kind of thing. Young teenagers are developing a sense of self independent of their parents and that causes a natural drift in the relationship. It's completely normal because young teens want to be independent so they would value the relationships they form themselves. Later as they get older they tend to realize they can be independent while still having a relationship with their parents and the relationship changes to something more adult. (As long as things are normal and healthy)
@BeeKee404. I like to think at some point family and friendship island will merge together as Riley gets older. For me personally my friends and I call each other family.
I really love Disgust in this second movie💚 She's the type of woman that can be very expressive about things and not fake them, especially around people.
I did not expect these movies to touch me in such a deep spot. I've seen a lot of animated movies that are relatable but this one hit me HARD!! I felt like it spoke directly to me. I honestly wish this was out when I was a kid...couldve saved myself from a few emotional rollercoasters ❤
I think the whole thing about hanging out with the coolest person ever and forgetting about her friends was a bad decision, because it wasn't just a matter of reading the space and making Val understand her, Riley kept saying things that weren't part of her personality and trying to fit into the profile of others around her. It's kind of like forgetting who you really are to please others' eyes, wearing a mask. that is, or others who Riley said she was were not really her, thus creating a false profile, which can later start to destroy you from the inside. and she will think: "nobody really understands me, nobody really knows me, they just like a fake person that I created for them"
no because at 50:48 Achara was spot on. the first movie didnt hit me that much so i went to theater watching this movie with no big anticipation when in fact this movie punch me right in the stomach that i find myself hardly breathing and i need to collect myself together so i didnot cause misunderstanding for other people in the studio, like this movie hits me that hard. The storytelling and the universe they created for this movie is astonishing. This is the best Pixar movie ever created for me.
I enjoyed this film! Anxiety is extremely relatable and has definitely been one of my main emotions since I was about 11 years old, I'm 24 now! The part where she has a panic attack made me cry!
I love hearing achara and jaby talk about their insight/talk after the movie. Makes me aswel think about a few other things. I saw this movie in the theaters, and gosh anxiety actually made me anxious haha
It really is sad. Inside out really is just a sad movie in both. Because both are about change. And it’s so beautifully complex, and sad, and happy, and it’s really just an extraordinary view on emotion, and being able to stop and feel.
I can't believe there was a Dora the Explorer reference in this movie 😂😂 I cringed the entire time when Bloofy was on screen. (Yes that was my favorite show as a toddler.)
It's really interesting how they depicted some stuff with anxiety. In my actual therapy sessions, my therapist walked me through a situation by starting with understanding why I was anxious and then telling myself, "Thank you for trying to keep me safe. But that isn't exactly what I need right now." As opposed to calling my brain stupid & cursing why I'm like this. (I'm pretty sure anxiety was my 3rd emotion ever created)
Somehow they managed to make a better movie without breaking us emotionally, I appreciate that. Everyone should watch this movie (and according to the box office, everyone had)
This movie absolutely destroyed me. The depicted Anxiety so well. How she can control you and that can lead to a bad outcome. Also the part at the end were Anxiety stands there frozen and all the bad thoughts circle around her. I think that this is how anxiety feels. At least it does for me. When I'm unable to move, I can just watch and the thoughts circle in my mind like a marry-go-round. I also remember telling my therapist once that it feels like the anxiety is in control and I can't do anything. That I'm helpless. But it will get better. Slow and steady. Now, I can actually call people, make appointments or...you know...talk to people in real life. Yay!
Riley's "Puberty Alarm" goes off right after her 13th birthday. While 11-13 is a typical age for boys to begin puberty, girls typically begin as young as 8. Riley could be considered a late bloomer in this case.
I saw this in theaters with my mom and I was really stressing for Riley during those super embarrassing scenes my mom looked at me and was like ur anxiety is giving me anxiety calm down it’s just a movie.
I like what you said at the end there. "Did she get in the team? Yes? No? Doesn't matter." Idk, there's something stress relieving hearing about it. Whether you win or not, it's not the end of the world.
This one made me cry so much. More than the first especially at the part when she has a panic attack. I think having anxiety issues made this hit even harder.
The thing about hugging someone when you're having an anxiety attack is that sometimes they can make you feel worse, like they're suppressing your emotions or feeling like you're trapped in two different boxes. As bad as it sounds it's best to just let the person dry themselves and then we can start to helping them, just like Riley did with the technique of "hearing sounds around you, touching stuff around you, seeing things around you, tasting and smelling stuff around you". Yes, we're all complex and some prefer others techniques and that's fine! Whatever works for you the best is your way :)
I still think the original is the better one of the two, but only because it was such a fresh concept and the "twist"/message hits so deeply and so perfectly. It's very hard once you set that standard to meet it because we're now expecting it. But I think this is a worthy follow up. It's not the same thing over again, it's introducing new aspects about the mind and emotions in this world, and the message is something that I think way too many people in this generation need. I wish I had this movie fifteen years ago because I was Riley to a tee, down to "I'm not good enough" running through my head again and again
I love both movies, and I agree with the thought they are both meant for different people respectfully. The first one hit me harder (not just because of Bing Bong) but because depression for me is what they highlighted in that one. I get numb when the depression takes over and I think the first one dealt with that a lot. This one I think definitely hits way more in the anxiety department and they do amazing with it, I’m sure it hit tons of people so so hard.
This movie helped me explain to my son what his anxiety attacks are. I as an adult was crying my eyes out. Seeing it illustrated in such a way just broke me, as I suffer from them as well. I absolutely loved it.
When i hear the line "I'm not good enough" I never fail to start to tear up because I was thinking If I was not good enough for my dad before he passed away a few years ago... If I was not a good enough son...
I love that the only unrelatable thing in this entire movie, is the fact that both the school, and the coach's office doors, were BOTH UNLOCKED 🤣🤣 There is no freaken way that shit would be unlocked after hours ahahaha. What a great sequel though! ❤
I think the overwhelming aspect of having so many new characters worked because that’s literally how puberty feels (at least for a girl). All those feelings are there whether you make the room for them or not. I don’t know if they did that intentionally, but to me it definitely added to the metaphor.
As a child, emotions control you but as you grow up, you learn how to control your emotions. That’s what I got from this movie and it’s really relatable.
I really appreciate that Pixar didn't go for the "Gut-Punch" for this one, I was getting tired of waiting for the shoe to drop. My favorite Pixar movies (Not necessarily the "Best" but my favorite) don't have the extremely emotional moment, they're just great movies with a good message that makes you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. So for me this one is way better and lot more re-watchable than the first.
Watched this with my kid in theaters but I had a bigger surge of emotions after seeing it a second time with the two of you. My kid really loved the movie, she doesn't fully get it yet as she is still 9.
I think the point of this is that making decisions from the standpoint of anxiety is probably not good. Yes, her friends will eventually be going to another school in the future but no human actually live in the future we all live in the present. Living in a potential future in the present is what probably causes anxiety. Anxiety is portrayed here as worrying about every scenario that “could” go wrong in the future and reacting to it in the present. If humans instead focused on enjoying all the things that we are able to enjoy in the present then we’d all probably be much happier and potentially suffer from a lot less anxiety. Anxiety serves a purpose however allowing it run buck wild is super detrimental in the long run. Always, choose joy when you can ;)
This is ome of those sequels that exceeded the 1st movie like Shrek. Both are good but the sequel just touches my heart specially as a young adult who suffers from anxiety. Love how the show is depicting it and trying to comfort the viewers as well as raise awareness.
One detail I loved is that every time Riley made a decision based on Anxiety the lighting was bright orange and there was a lot of orange in the background, but when Joy was driving the lighting was bright yellow. But there was still little bits of orange in the background to show that Anxiety was still present. That was so cool.
I think it's also good to have a trilogy on inside out where Riley's older, maybe fresh out of college and trying to find a job and settle down and support her aging parents and dealing with "life". If we add new emotions, where Nostalgia can be represented by Grief deal with a trauma. I also think that we can also dive more into how the emotions themselves mature and Joy struggling to find herself: - Sadness -> Maturity - Anger -> Assertiveness/Drive - Fear -> Awareness - Disgust -> Disapproval - Embarassment -> Shame/Cringe - Anxiety -> Stress - Ennui -> Apathy - Envy -> Desire - Nostalgia -> Grief - And then you have Joy, lost and unable to figure how to grow when she's stuck in the old ways, constantly trying to be Hope or in search of Happiness (and getting disappointed when things constantly don't go in her way, especially when dealing with some major event/trauma/love/loss. And then maybe finding a way to grow into becoming the more nuanced and balanced version between happiness and hope: "Content/Appreciation". Being able to appreciate the things she is vs what she wants to be, and letting Riley understand that not everyone can get anything they ever wish for, but that shoudn't deter Riley from being Content with what she is and what she has, and appreciate it, while still holding on to those hopefully opportunities, and not letting Apathy take the wheel too long.
As someone who suffers from depression, I recognized so many feelings in this movie (I even cried when I heard the “I'm not good enough!” because I recognized myself so incredibly well in it and had to be careful that my daughter, who was sitting next to me in the cinema, didn't catch it) and the panic attack coming on was portrayed so well. The makers of the movie either suffered from it themselves, had an incredible amount of empathy or had psychologists on board as advisors. A really well-made movie!
As someone who suffered with anxiety for like... 11 years. This was honestly such an honest depiction of anxiety and it made me ball my eyes out when the anxiety was displayed so good, as well as the panic attacks...
I never experienced an anxiety attack or have regular/daily anxiety like today's generation, but when I seen Rileys panic attack and Anxiety just frozen without movements because she has spun so many problems at once and can't function was so impactful to me. I cried so much. I'm crying now. I can't talk about this movie without crying.
Took my sons to see this film and they both teared up, especially my younger son (who is seven) and really has a hard time understanding and controlling his emotions. Anxiety REALLY resonated with him (especially from an athletics perspective). Just love how these films can help kids and adults understand and acknowledge their feelings 😭
Sometimes you DO need a hug.. I am notoriously a loner, meaning i'm never really alone, but I just tend to strive much better alone, but sometimes when someone surprises me with a hug, I just enjoy that shizz. The good thing is that my bestie has recognized when I need one LOL
Everyone is so mean to Riley's friends. They are kids too. They didn't choose to go to different high-school. Thay also have to adjust to a big change. They didn't tell Riley because they didn't want to ruin the camp for her. And Riley immediately ditches them to hang out with cool girls and then threw Grace across the rink. And they still came to check on her when she was having an anxiety attack. It's not like they knew how to deal with that kind of situation. THEY ARE KIDS.
There's so many tiny details that I really like about this movie, but Anxiety being impulsive and almost compulsively controlling- perfect. Its good during emergency situations, horrible in the long run, making so many bad, rush decisions. Anxiety can't lead and it can't be fully cooperated with, it has to be managed, like they did at the end of the movie.
Anxiety turning Imagination Land into an animated sweatshop where they’re just drawing ideas and joy isn’t allowed is such a corporate clap-back at Disney and I’m amazed they kept it in!
I love how Anxiety isn't depicted as a villain. She's a normal emotion who means well like the others, while also showing why it's important to keep it in check.
They handled it perfectly. Just like their message of toxic positivity and the importance of sadness in the first movie.
Yeah ,just like some bit messed-up folks in real life ,She's got good intentions ,just not doing by the right way.

From a psychological point of view, this movie is incredible. It describes very well the main difference between the identity of a child and the identity of a teen or an adult. As children, we see ourselves as perfect paradigms of good and the world is mostly a nice place to live (if we are lucky and everything goes well). Then as teens (again, if everything goes right) we discover that we are not perfect and the world sucks. It usually takes many years to learn to accept our flaws and imperfections as part of us instead of fighting against them. We should build around our weaknesses instead of ignoring them. That way, we have the chance to grow over them instead of creating a delusional world and a delusional self. Delusions always end up colliding with reality and as adults those crashes are so much harder to survive to...
The scene where Riley’s struggling to go to sleep is me almost every single day
Super relatable
Me too.
fr I need for Anxiety to take her hands off the console and take a long-ass sleep
You're gonna find it so wild to look back and realize how insignificant all these fears were. Not because they're not valid or something but because there are so many ways everything could work out. Or maybe it goes wrong at first but you find a new way eventually.
I'm too tired to be anxious before bed but it hits me in the mornings a lot seemingly for nothing, maybe it's because I smoke ii i dunno, Try anything that relaxes you before bed, I bought essential oils to mist in the air but that's just me everyone's anxiety feels different
Everything building up and up until her sense of self says “I’m not good enough” is masterful, it’s such a gut punch.
One of the things that broke me of this film was 'i´m not good enough'. That sentence hit like a punch in the stomach.
I watched this one yesterday with my nephew of 11 years old. It was a very good conversation starter about emotions. He said: "well...at least it's just for a couple of years. When you're 18 everything will be normal". 😅 so sweet ❤
In the post credits scene the adults did have the extra emotions. They are just at the back curtain. Mostly they are added emotions essential to growth but as you may know when you grown u tend to control these extra facets more so the movie did make sense that these new emotions were teens as depicted since they really are mostly present during puberty
I never thought of looking at anxiety as turning your imagination against you before this movie.
It was really enlightening for me.
Yes yes yes
Someone wise once said, “Just because you think it, doesn’t make it true. Your brain’s a little bitch that likes to lie to you.” 😂
Joy's meltdown is will never stop being hilarious. "Jiminy mother living toaster studel!"😂 Also, 37:12 that line hit me like a freight traun in the theater.
One of the most accurate depictions I've seen of anxiety in a really long time.
The anxiety attack scene makes me cry everytime because that’s exactly how it is.. frozen and uncontrollable for that moment.. ur heart sinks and u feel numb.. the way joy says “anxiety you have to let her go” makes me cry
That's exactly how I felt. I dont believe I've ever had an anxiety attack, but I've had my anxiety make me feel stuck in place.
“When you grow up, you can still feel joy. It just gets harder to find.”
This movie resonates not just with children, but the more mature audience as well. That's what makes animated movies great.
This movie hit me harder than the first one. I think because this themes are closer to a grownup life. It's really more complex, not just Joy and Sadness like in the first one.
As someone who has genetic anxiety and depression Inside Out 2 made me laugh and cry in ways I had never done before. I felt TRULY seen watching this movie when Riley had her anxiety attack. I even cried a little because it’s the most accurate depiction of what it looks like inside the brain of someone who is suffering from an anxiety attack. And even when she didn’t have her attack, it felt accurate because people with genetically high anxiety like me always have millions of ideas rushing through their mind at all times for all scenarios, barely ever resting. But what made me fully cry was when Riley had her new sense of self created and had her moment of catharsis with Bree and Grace when she apologizes to them.
Both of the Inside Out films are masterpieces in my opinion, and I hope to god we get a 3rd one that is equally as great.
I loved how they kinda of depicted anxiety in a way where they weren’t even fully in control and were panicking a lot
Imagine riley become professional hockey player in inside out 3
3rd one could be Riley graduating and moving away from home and all the messy emotions that come with it.
You’re not alone Jaby, I always get emotional and feel like I could cry when I hear the theme for Inside Out.
I watched this twice in cinema (though i wish i could go more times). One of the thing i took away was that the emotions had been driving Rileys choices and action, but at the end, Riley was more in control of what she need to feel at the moment. (Calling Joy to the console)
This movie had me, a 23 yr old dude who hates crying, balling my eyes out in the theater.
I didn't expect such a river of emotion in the third act of this movie. This story was a slow burn. I haven't cried this hard since Coco... Damn, I've never cried this much in a movie 😭
8:18 that scene of Disgust hitting Anger with the bat gets me everytime😂
this movie hit me honestly a LOT harder than the first movie. I cry while watching the first one, but for this one, i SOB MY EYES OUT every time. i just relate so much. both movies have important messages, but the second one is just an insane sucker punch to the gut while being simultaneously healing
I love the fact that Family Island is so small, I couldn’t stop laughing.
XD yee, what happens when u have a friends island
I personally have mixed feelings about it. I get that it makes sense for teenagers to care more about their friends than their family but I always felt like Riley had a really special relationship with her family so it was kinda sad that they don't mean as much to her now. Again, it's realistic in the sense that Riley is a teenager now but again, they always seemed to have a special bond that I feel like it could've remained through her teenage years. I like to think it'll grow again in a year or two. Maybe sooner.
@@BeeKee404 It's definitely a mixed feelings kind of thing. Young teenagers are developing a sense of self independent of their parents and that causes a natural drift in the relationship. It's completely normal because young teens want to be independent so they would value the relationships they form themselves. Later as they get older they tend to realize they can be independent while still having a relationship with their parents and the relationship changes to something more adult. (As long as things are normal and healthy)
@BeeKee404. I like to think at some point family and friendship island will merge together as Riley gets older. For me personally my friends and I call each other family.
The video game guy had me rolling in the theaters
Ha! Rolling! I get it
@@nordicsoda9514 He was good and i love how they made him look lower quality was very cool
Lance’s VA is UA-camr. Yongyea. His passion is acting and videogames
@@LanaDelReySupremacy this was so great attention to detail and the way he struggled going through the door, loved that
😂yh
I really love Disgust in this second movie💚 She's the type of woman that can be very expressive about things and not fake them, especially around people.
I did not expect these movies to touch me in such a deep spot. I've seen a lot of animated movies that are relatable but this one hit me HARD!! I felt like it spoke directly to me. I honestly wish this was out when I was a kid...couldve saved myself from a few emotional rollercoasters ❤
The best movie this year. Having kids made me even more emotional when it came to her anxiety. Still makes me cry
I think the whole thing about hanging out with the coolest person ever and forgetting about her friends was a bad decision, because it wasn't just a matter of reading the space and making Val understand her, Riley kept saying things that weren't part of her personality and trying to fit into the profile of others around her. It's kind of like forgetting who you really are to please others' eyes, wearing a mask. that is, or others who Riley said she was were not really her, thus creating a false profile, which can later start to destroy you from the inside. and she will think: "nobody really understands me, nobody really knows me, they just like a fake person that I created for them"
no because at 50:48 Achara was spot on. the first movie didnt hit me that much so i went to theater watching this movie with no big anticipation when in fact this movie punch me right in the stomach that i find myself hardly breathing and i need to collect myself together so i didnot cause misunderstanding for other people in the studio, like this movie hits me that hard. The storytelling and the universe they created for this movie is astonishing. This is the best Pixar movie ever created for me.
9/10 This movie was absolutely perfect as a sequel. It was absolutely amazing and perfect.
This movie perfectly symbolizes teenagehood and the perks and contingencies of being a teenager.
I enjoyed this film! Anxiety is extremely relatable and has definitely been one of my main emotions since I was about 11 years old, I'm 24 now! The part where she has a panic attack made me cry!
This movie just spoke to me. I love that more attention is being put on dealing with anxiety in media.
I love hearing achara and jaby talk about their insight/talk after the movie. Makes me aswel think about a few other things. I saw this movie in the theaters, and gosh anxiety actually made me anxious haha
That ending discussion felt like "Mom, Dad, please stop fighting."
Inside Out is one of the only movie franchises that I wouldn't mind if there's an Inside Out 3 planned. I can watch Riley and her emotions all day.
Crazy that this movie is 10th highest grossing ever
It really is sad. Inside out really is just a sad movie in both. Because both are about change. And it’s so beautifully complex, and sad, and happy, and it’s really just an extraordinary view on emotion, and being able to stop and feel.
I can't believe there was a Dora the Explorer reference in this movie 😂😂
I cringed the entire time when Bloofy was on screen.
(Yes that was my favorite show as a toddler.)
It's really interesting how they depicted some stuff with anxiety. In my actual therapy sessions, my therapist walked me through a situation by starting with understanding why I was anxious and then telling myself, "Thank you for trying to keep me safe. But that isn't exactly what I need right now." As opposed to calling my brain stupid & cursing why I'm like this. (I'm pretty sure anxiety was my 3rd emotion ever created)
“I don’t Ever want to come back to this” *Jabys* last words from the first installment
*LITERALLY* 0:05
Somehow they managed to make a better movie without breaking us emotionally, I appreciate that. Everyone should watch this movie (and according to the box office, everyone had)
This movie absolutely destroyed me. The depicted Anxiety so well. How she can control you and that can lead to a bad outcome. Also the part at the end were Anxiety stands there frozen and all the bad thoughts circle around her. I think that this is how anxiety feels. At least it does for me. When I'm unable to move, I can just watch and the thoughts circle in my mind like a marry-go-round. I also remember telling my therapist once that it feels like the anxiety is in control and I can't do anything. That I'm helpless. But it will get better. Slow and steady. Now, I can actually call people, make appointments or...you know...talk to people in real life. Yay!
Nostalgia is definitely in control in my head. Anxiety is 2nd in charge.
Riley's "Puberty Alarm" goes off right after her 13th birthday. While 11-13 is a typical age for boys to begin puberty, girls typically begin as young as 8. Riley could be considered a late bloomer in this case.
31:59 ENNUI LOSING HER PHONE MADE ME LAUGH!!!!! 🤭
I saw this in theaters with my mom and I was really stressing for Riley during those super embarrassing scenes my mom looked at me and was like ur anxiety is giving me anxiety calm down it’s just a movie.
Why is the scene where anxiety starts crying, hates what's happening, but can't stop herself, so heartbreaking?!
Because that’s what happens to us when we have anxiety attacks
The discussion Jaby and Achara have after watching the movie speaks to how good the film is.
I like what you said at the end there.
"Did she get in the team? Yes? No? Doesn't matter."
Idk, there's something stress relieving hearing about it. Whether you win or not, it's not the end of the world.
This one made me cry so much. More than the first especially at the part when she has a panic attack. I think having anxiety issues made this hit even harder.
22:45 I think thats the lesson anxiety is still important and helpful but if left unchecked it is unhealthy
Too much and or toxic.
Toxic joy. Toxic anxiety.
a small thing i noticed is the detail in the wooden bench when she was in the box
that animation was soooooo goood
The thing about hugging someone when you're having an anxiety attack is that sometimes they can make you feel worse, like they're suppressing your emotions or feeling like you're trapped in two different boxes. As bad as it sounds it's best to just let the person dry themselves and then we can start to helping them, just like Riley did with the technique of "hearing sounds around you, touching stuff around you, seeing things around you, tasting and smelling stuff around you".
Yes, we're all complex and some prefer others techniques and that's fine! Whatever works for you the best is your way :)
The "spilled the tea", "bottled up emotions" and "sar-chasm" are the best jokes ever 😂
I still think the original is the better one of the two, but only because it was such a fresh concept and the "twist"/message hits so deeply and so perfectly. It's very hard once you set that standard to meet it because we're now expecting it.
But I think this is a worthy follow up. It's not the same thing over again, it's introducing new aspects about the mind and emotions in this world, and the message is something that I think way too many people in this generation need. I wish I had this movie fifteen years ago because I was Riley to a tee, down to "I'm not good enough" running through my head again and again
I love both movies, and I agree with the thought they are both meant for different people respectfully. The first one hit me harder (not just because of Bing Bong) but because depression for me is what they highlighted in that one. I get numb when the depression takes over and I think the first one dealt with that a lot. This one I think definitely hits way more in the anxiety department and they do amazing with it, I’m sure it hit tons of people so so hard.
Can't believe Adele was in this. Even though she's got shorter lines ,she's killing it with them. She's cool.
are you talking about ayo?

LOVED THIS MOVIE SO MUCH, I cried
glad you guys reacted to it!!
This movie got too real than the 1st one. And they nailed it! 👏🏻
This movie helped me explain to my son what his anxiety attacks are. I as an adult was crying my eyes out. Seeing it illustrated in such a way just broke me, as I suffer from them as well. I absolutely loved it.
The single tear from Anxiety had me weeping. I suffer from major anxiety and depression. That part really hit me.
When i hear the line "I'm not good enough" I never fail to start to tear up because I was thinking If I was not good enough for my dad before he passed away a few years ago... If I was not a good enough son...
I love that the only unrelatable thing in this entire movie, is the fact that both the school, and the coach's office doors, were BOTH UNLOCKED 🤣🤣 There is no freaken way that shit would be unlocked after hours ahahaha. What a great sequel though! ❤
I think the overwhelming aspect of having so many new characters worked because that’s literally how puberty feels (at least for a girl). All those feelings are there whether you make the room for them or not. I don’t know if they did that intentionally, but to me it definitely added to the metaphor.
As a child, emotions control you but as you grow up, you learn how to control your emotions. That’s what I got from this movie and it’s really relatable.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I CRIED THAT DAY WHEN I SAW THIS MOVIE!!!!!
I really appreciate that Pixar didn't go for the "Gut-Punch" for this one, I was getting tired of waiting for the shoe to drop. My favorite Pixar movies (Not necessarily the "Best" but my favorite) don't have the extremely emotional moment, they're just great movies with a good message that makes you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. So for me this one is way better and lot more re-watchable than the first.
Watched this with my kid in theaters but I had a bigger surge of emotions after seeing it a second time with the two of you. My kid really loved the movie, she doesn't fully get it yet as she is still 9.
I think the point of this is that making decisions from the standpoint of anxiety is probably not good. Yes, her friends will eventually be going to another school in the future but no human actually live in the future we all live in the present. Living in a potential future in the present is what probably causes anxiety.
Anxiety is portrayed here as worrying about every scenario that “could” go wrong in the future and reacting to it in the present. If humans instead focused on enjoying all the things that we are able to enjoy in the present then we’d all probably be much happier and potentially suffer from a lot less anxiety. Anxiety serves a purpose however allowing it run buck wild is super detrimental in the long run. Always, choose joy when you can ;)
I’ve been waiting on this movie reaction. Anxiety was so realistic and had me tearing up ❤ it’s so crazy to think how you begin to change so young 😭😭
This is ome of those sequels that exceeded the 1st movie like Shrek. Both are good but the sequel just touches my heart specially as a young adult who suffers from anxiety. Love how the show is depicting it and trying to comfort the viewers as well as raise awareness.
I feel like that group hug at the end shows that you should live your life out of love rather than living out of fear.
One detail I loved is that every time Riley made a decision based on Anxiety the lighting was bright orange and there was a lot of orange in the background, but when Joy was driving the lighting was bright yellow. But there was still little bits of orange in the background to show that Anxiety was still present. That was so cool.
20:57 That part was hilarious😂😂
Bloofy And Pouchy are combinations of blue's clues,dora the explorer and mickey mouse clubhouse. This gives you kid show vibes.
I think it's also good to have a trilogy on inside out where Riley's older, maybe fresh out of college and trying to find a job and settle down and support her aging parents and dealing with "life". If we add new emotions, where Nostalgia can be represented by Grief deal with a trauma. I also think that we can also dive more into how the emotions themselves mature and Joy struggling to find herself:
- Sadness -> Maturity
- Anger -> Assertiveness/Drive
- Fear -> Awareness
- Disgust -> Disapproval
- Embarassment -> Shame/Cringe
- Anxiety -> Stress
- Ennui -> Apathy
- Envy -> Desire
- Nostalgia -> Grief
- And then you have Joy, lost and unable to figure how to grow when she's stuck in the old ways, constantly trying to be Hope or in search of Happiness (and getting disappointed when things constantly don't go in her way, especially when dealing with some major event/trauma/love/loss. And then maybe finding a way to grow into becoming the more nuanced and balanced version between happiness and hope: "Content/Appreciation". Being able to appreciate the things she is vs what she wants to be, and letting Riley understand that not everyone can get anything they ever wish for, but that shoudn't deter Riley from being Content with what she is and what she has, and appreciate it, while still holding on to those hopefully opportunities, and not letting Apathy take the wheel too long.
As someone who suffers from depression, I recognized so many feelings in this movie (I even cried when I heard the “I'm not good enough!” because I recognized myself so incredibly well in it and had to be careful that my daughter, who was sitting next to me in the cinema, didn't catch it) and the panic attack coming on was portrayed so well. The makers of the movie either suffered from it themselves, had an incredible amount of empathy or had psychologists on board as advisors. A really well-made movie!
As someone who suffered with anxiety for like... 11 years. This was honestly such an honest depiction of anxiety and it made me ball my eyes out when the anxiety was displayed so good, as well as the panic attacks...
30:05 - I’m glad other people got that.
I don’t think anyone in the theater got why I was clapping.
I never experienced an anxiety attack or have regular/daily anxiety like today's generation, but when I seen Rileys panic attack and Anxiety just frozen without movements because she has spun so many problems at once and can't function was so impactful to me. I cried so much. I'm crying now. I can't talk about this movie without crying.
Took my sons to see this film and they both teared up, especially my younger son (who is seven) and really has a hard time understanding and controlling his emotions. Anxiety REALLY resonated with him (especially from an athletics perspective). Just love how these films can help kids and adults understand and acknowledge their feelings 😭
This movie emotionally broke me, so perfectly depicted, and relatable. I also think nostalgia is underrated IMO 😂
They also had professional psychologists and therapists work on this movie to make the depiction of the emotions more accurate.
Sometimes you DO need a hug.. I am notoriously a loner, meaning i'm never really alone, but I just tend to strive much better alone, but sometimes when someone surprises me with a hug, I just enjoy that shizz. The good thing is that my bestie has recognized when I need one LOL
Everyone is so mean to Riley's friends. They are kids too. They didn't choose to go to different high-school. Thay also have to adjust to a big change. They didn't tell Riley because they didn't want to ruin the camp for her. And Riley immediately ditches them to hang out with cool girls and then threw Grace across the rink. And they still came to check on her when she was having an anxiety attack. It's not like they knew how to deal with that kind of situation. THEY ARE KIDS.
that "old apple commercial" was also referencing the book 1984 by george orwell...so that scene is actually referencing the book 1984
There's so many tiny details that I really like about this movie, but Anxiety being impulsive and almost compulsively controlling- perfect. Its good during emergency situations, horrible in the long run, making so many bad, rush decisions. Anxiety can't lead and it can't be fully cooperated with, it has to be managed, like they did at the end of the movie.
Anxiety turning Imagination Land into an animated sweatshop where they’re just drawing ideas and joy isn’t allowed is such a corporate clap-back at Disney and I’m amazed they kept it in!
My favorite part of this movie is when Joy yells, “Jimminy Mother Lovin’ Toaster Stroodles!” 😂😂😂
