@@mariostarfan20i think it would be better if a third movie about her as an adult and then a final movie where shes old. Cause i doubt they’d do eight movies but four is a good, normal amount of movies.
That one scene where Embarrassment hides Sadness is actually a great detail about how these emotions are used. Like, when some children grow up, they believe it's embarrassing to cry so they hide it.
The reason why Family Island got so small, while Friendship Island became so big to the point of obsuring the former, is because teenagers tend to value their friends over their family. We got to see that in this movie. Grace and Bree were Riley's core friends during her middle school years. They spent a lot of time together, having fun together... To a child/teenager, that's everything. So, when Riley faced the possibility she may not see them again, she started to spiral down into a wave of anxiety, desperate to try to fill the gap her friends would leave once they started high school. I have no doubt that, in time, Family Island will grow again and return to be the central island of Riley's personality, especially when she decides to build her own family.
Yeah thats exactly it!! And from literary standpoint, I like how it demonstrates the sequel's shift of frame compared the first! The last movie was about family, and this movie was about friendship. So having that reflected in the islands exemplifies how much Riley's friends mean to her by contrast. Communicating to the audience what differentiates the two movies; exploring different relationship dynamics!
It's true. I love how they worked around the psycology of growing up. For teenagers their peers is everything, that's why they can be pressured into doing questionable things, they highly depend on their circles.
@@bobatea2845 Your right I never caught that! If they made a third movie about her being an adult I think the center island would be her dreams and ambitions, like maybe she is going to want to be a professional hockey player and we’ll get to see her journey to this carrer path that would be so fun to watch.
I love, love LOVE the message about the sense of self during the climax. They could have easily just had Joy restore the "good" sense of self, but they didn't, because that's not how it works. It's about accepting all of yourself, the good and the bad. Your failures, your mistakes, your bad memories, the things you often don't like to think about but make you who you are! It's beautiful! I know Pixar sequels can be hit or miss sometimes but this one really hit it out of the park for me!
you can tell whoever wrote this, had a very, very good grasp of psychology (or at least, leaned heavily on a consultant); they really hit the mark with all the emotions.
Interesting to note: Like the first Inside Out, the second film required the help of a child psychologist as consultant. In this time around, Pixar consulted help from one who specializes in adolescence.
"Maybe this is what happens when you grow up, you feel less joy." Damn, that line hit me like a truck. It's messed up but it's a very real thing that we deal with and it hurts to realize.
It was a real gut punch for me too, and the portrayal of Riley’s anxiety attack was well done, emotions spiraling out of control, your mind obsessing over every negative outcome, speculating that things will only keep getting worse, and it’ll never get better…
I’m glad they didn’t make Anxiety a villain. She’s like Joy in the first movie. She wants to help Riley like the others, but needs to learn how to let go and let the others do their thing, and I think this movie depicts that beautifully.
The original script had an actual villain called Shame, which was changed to Anxiety both because psychiatrist consultants pointed out it's not actually an emotion, and because they decided this series shouldn't be about defeating villains.
I haven't had many panic attacks but I've had my fair share of anxiety attacks and it's frustrating how many reactors I've seen call that scene an anxiety attack. I could see it be argued that in the later half of the skills camp Riley was in an extended anxiety attack but that scene immediately after she body slammed Grace definitely tipped her in to a full blown panic attack. watching it in theaters for the first time had my heart pounding right along with Riley's, it's just such a perfect visual representation of what it can feel like
I had an anxiety attack once. The thing that got me is that, I literally had no clue what caused it. I felt no stress, I wasn’t sleep deprived, I wasn’t anxious about anything. Then bam! Panic attack out of nowhere. I mistook it for an impending heart attack and called 911. They couldn’t find anything wrong with me, of course. It was all in my head.
Everyone will be talking about how Anxiety was so perfectly depicted here (which is not bad, I just want to make a comment with a different direction) so I want to highlight what I liked of the other emotions. 1. Embarassment is the biggest out of these emotions, and he was strong enough to restrain 5 emotions AT ONCE. That showcases how strong of an emotion can embarrassment be when it comes to impact; most of the times you will forget of your other emotions when you realize you're doing something ridiculous or you've been caught. 2. We often seen envy as a synonim of jealosy, but Envy here was depicted as the one who was emulating everyone around her; she tried going along with anything Anxiety did, and when operating Riley, she often acted easygoing with anything the others were suggesting. When Anxiety couldn't get Riley out of the bed, Envy did. 3. Ennui was depicted as boredom, but I see her as indifference, an attitude often seen negative but it usually helps you save emotional and mental energy when doing anything, specially taking insults.
I’ll admit, the moment when Anxiety finished Riley’s new personality and it echoed “I’m not good enough” hit me HARD. I’ve struggled with self-doubt and self-imposed perfectionism for years and this movie just struck a chord with me in so many ways. And sadly, since seeing this movie, I also now know what it’s like to have a panic attack and… yeah. Loved watching your reaction, though!
Same, having a perfectionist father was a big source for me, NOTHING I did was ever good enough, eventually I shut down emotionally and just stopped trying, to stop the pain, but all it did was dull it… 55 years old now, and still carry the mental baggage from Dad’s perfectionism.
One concept in developmental psychology is that as humans grow older, their sense of identity starts being more dependent on their peers rather than family. The smallness of Family Island has little to do with how much Riley cares, but rather how much it impacts her sense of self.
And she was actually anxious when recording her lines because she was worried that she wouldn’t make it work or wouldn’t be any good and she is also a natural speed talker.
Similar to how the OG emotions kinda have a secondary purpose (Sadness=Sympathy, Anger=Passion), the new emotions have that too. Embarrassment can be Self-Awareness and Ennui can act as a filter for the emotions when they get extreme, if you remember how since the console got fixed, just one touch was enough to over do it.
Also, the fact that Riley is now actively calling for Joy is a nod that as you get older, you have better control over your emotions. If you need a specific emotion, you can call upon it. It's like how Mom's Sadness is a driving force with her emotions because, as the mother, she would need Sadness' other capabilities. Similarly with Dad and his anger. I guess your leading emotions depends on what is going to be a major part of your life.
This movie's message is SOO IMPORTANT! In order to see yourself for who you are, you need to see ALL of you. And when you do, your mind finally starts to clear, and you can stop being blinded by the past and future, and instead be aware of now. How she feels the bench and hears the sounds, to be in the moment. To be here. THAT'S how you start to understand yourself. And the representation that as a kid, we're mainly driven by our emotions. But as we grow, we develop a better sense of self, and become our own person. Her wanting Joy at the end is a sign of how you won't immediately feel happy, sad, etc when you want to, but that you know how you feel and how you want to feel, which is another aspect of aware-ness.
I find it funny that everyone gets scared of the floating particle effect before sadness says "joy, Riley wants you". We have gotten used to associating floating particles with something bad, usually death, in modern media that it seems to spike everyone's anxiety for a second.
I’ve really grown to love anxiety 🧡 I relate to her so bad. I feel anxiety almost every day and she was just misunderstood. I love how they didn’t treat her like a villain. She only wanted to help Riley but chose the wrong choices doing so, and that anxiety attack scene almost brought me to tears. They’re absolutely terrifying to experience. Thank you so much for watching this🥰 I love your reaction so much
Even when Fear was taken outta headquarters, Riley wasn't fearless because she was anxious and envious making her insecure about not being good enough and made terrible bold decisions such as sneaking into coaches office to read the notebook.
Did you peep that when Riley was in the penalty box the first time she started that heavy breathing like she was going into an anxiety attack, then cut to Joy talking to us about how Riley has been.
My Core Emotions are a mix of Anger, Anxiety , and Sadness. Joy is long dead and buried in the back of my mind (I’m 55 and have had a sucky life) I can’t remember the last time I felt actual Joy.
Family island being overshadowed by friendship is just a jab at how teens start getting more independent and start to have that mystery beef with their parents.
It's not just a "jab" is a very fundamental part of developmental psychology. As we grow older our brains start to realize that we aren't just part of our families, but belong to social spheres. It is how humans develop identities that go beyond their family, ie identifying with a tribe, sports team, school, or company.
@@SwordTunedamn then I must be an alien in disguise or something because I actually like to be around with my family rather than being with friends (friends can be rather much) with my parents, I always tell them everything, even to things that not many people would want them to know about themselves. This statement is more like stereotypes because not all people are distant with their families. I’m not saying that you’re wrong in any way because it is true, most teens/younger adults are rather distant with their parents. I just find this comment interesting.
@@Kim_Arix it's less about being distant from family, and more, there's less room for them once you start making more relationships. Inevitably when you add new relationships that takes up some room current relationships used to take.
@@willparry530I get that and it’s true. I just feel like I’m in a certain age where not many people like myself don’t talk to their parents and I find that a bit sad. Most of my friends are like that. About adding to more relationships, I don’t think I could add anymore to it than just family & Friends. People come into our lives and go. It do be like that sometimes. Sorry about this comment.
@@Kim_Arix no need to apologize. My point is, before friends you ONLY had family. The first friend you make takes up some space that family used to take, is all. I'm not talking about any relationships other than friends and family here.
As someone with a (diagnosed) anxiety and depressive disorder, the first movie hit hard with its depiction of depression. Then this comes along and they make it about anxiety taking over your brain, flooding it with beliefs you can't discern from your own, destroying your identity until you're driven by a inferiority complex and driving people away... ...someone at Pixar is spying on me and loves the taste of my tears 😅 Especially the anxiety attack sequence... yeah, that tornado is what it feels like in my brain.
As someone with diagnosed severe anxiety- on medication for it now (thank goodness)- This movie meant a lot to me because it was so relatable! Especially with the talking too much thing she does when she's nervous! So me. Although I also have ADHD so mayhaps a bit of that leaks in- ALSO!!! MAYA HAWKE DID SO GOOD AS ANXIETY!!! (She plays Robin in Stranger Things and a MC from Do Revenge! Both are very queer coded so it was really nice to hear her voice as such an important character to me. I cried watching this movie. Multiple times, I'm not ashamed. I also watched it in theaters the day it came out so everything was a lot bigger! Highly recommend this film and also yes!! NIMONA! PLEASE CHECK OUT NIMONA!! Thanks for the reaction! It was lovely and I cried watching it despite the fact it wasn't a direct watch. I'm very hungry... One last thing! Thomas Sanders or SandersSides had a really good 2 parter on coping with/ understanding anxiety thay really helped me a few years back!! Much love, later!
@@phousefilms Yeah! I watched that reaction and the movie is one of my all time favs!! I probably should have clarified I was backing her end of video recommendation and not making a recommendation of my own- ALSO YAY! I LOVE MITCHELL'S VS THE MACHINES!!! 🥹✨🙏
Seconded about the socks, my girl. The absolute worst is when they roll halfway down your foot when you're in a place where you can't just take your shoe off and roll it back up. 😖
29:17 You know, there is a theory that Riley's emotions being a mix of men and women while the other humans' emotions are the same gender as them, could be a sign in this world that Riley is bisexual. Of course Disney would never confirm it, but I kinda like it, and it could just be me, but she does give off those vibes a little.
I dont really see the connection since gender and sexuality are two different things. If this theory is true, shouldn't her mom's emotions all be male and her dad's emotions all be female if they were presumed to be straight and the emotions reflect their sexuality? On the other hand, Riley would be under the non-binary or gender-fluid umbrella if /gender/ is the key factor of how the emotions present themselves (considering the mom presents as female, dad presents as male, and their emotions reflect that). OR this is just a visualization of how Riley is still figuring herself out-- her gender identity-- and the emotions will slowly come to reflect whatever she certainly feels that she is.
@@genjis5155 what's backwards? Im not saying she is or isnt Bi, btw; just that the emotion's genders dont necessarily reflect which sex she's attracted to romantically because if that were the case, the mom should be attracted to only women and the dad attracted to only men.
the anxiety attack scene hit close to home, the same thing with the scene of her having insomnia because of anxiety. I once had an anxiety attack during the night after thinking in my head of people not liking me because of my art or my personality, I started hyperventilating and crying, my chest hurt and I couldn't sleep, no one at home helped me, my mother told me to go to sleep and the whole night I had difficulty sleeping, eventually I calmed down but as it was my first case of an anxiety attack it was a somewhat traumatic event... that's why this scene came to me as the most relatable and touching.
I love that they never actually *stop* anxiety, all they can do is reason with her and hope she'll listen(just like real anxiety, you just have to use reason to try and fight it back) Edit: Dark Secret locked themself back up, so I think they're lying about what the secret was(I personally think the secret will be that Riley is either bisexual or gender fluid or both)
THe family island what’s smaller because as a teenager her focus is more on friendship and less on family also in the first movie she moved somewhere where she didn’t have friends
Went to see this in theaters with coworkers, and we learned that a group of therapists tend to laugh at things that no else does 😅 But in all seriousness, this movie is SO amazing and really well done. They had four psychologists they worked with to develop it and it was wonderfully done. Glad you shared your experience of it with us! ❤
I'm not sure which Inside Out I like more, but I do like how this one experiments with giving Riley autonomy as a person rather than having the emotions control everything, and the things she deals with feel more relatable. And yeah, I would actually like to see even more sequels that tackle more mature concepts, graduating high school, dating, going to college, etc., as long as the filmmakers maintain the consistent level of care and attention.
Hi mosco i think the reason why family island was so small is because most not all but most teenagers rely more on their friends and want to be with their friends more than their family and they just have more memories with their friends than they do with their family because they spend more time socialising than just staying in one place all the time hope this helps and great video as always loved it!
Honestly this movie came out the perfect time for me as at the time I was having really anxious thoughts and they wouldn’t go away no matter how hard I tried to forgot about them so this is more personal to me 😊.
That family island was so little in the sequel opposed to the prequel, is definitely because of how teenagers are and how they set their priorities. When you're a teen, you definitely want to be less around your parents and value them not as highly as your peers. And I believe the boy band island was briefly introduced at the end of the first movie, as part of Riley's new islands.
There’s a deleted scene where it would’ve given Embarrassment more screen time. Riley is at a public pool, but does not know how to interact with the other hockey girls while there. I honestly think the scene should’ve been kept in the final film. And… Blue’s Clues + Dora the Explorer + Mickey Mouse Clubhouse + a hint of Bluey = Bloofy!
I'd really like to see Disney make a series out of this, similar to how Osmosis Jones did. There's a lot of emotional turmoil you can go through in high school, and I feel like 22 min or so episodes would be great at tackling all those small emotionally rife events better than a movie really could
The bit where she grabbed Hamish- I exactly knew why she was getting emotional. I bawled my eyes at this part! As someone who is in therapy anxiety, this scene hits hard. To be aware of your surroundings.
11:36 - One of the few people to actually take a look at the emotions’ sleeping quarters and didn’t notice Bing Bong because the ladder was in the way.
My favorite part is the ending where Reilly wants joy. When you get older, sometimes it feels like there is less joy to have, but really joy is always there, the difference is that you need to chose Joy over Anxiety.
Mosco speaks facts about anxiety. This is reminder to everyone that you shouldn’t need to feel like you want to be young again. Because being young means going through anxiety to the max. Trust me, it is not something you want to experience twice. 😅💜
Thinking about how Riley's family island is so small. It reminds me of how when I was younger around Riley's age that I had taken my family for granite and didn't realize until after I turned 18 that family is really important to keep close to you especially if they love you unconditionally which not everyone has of course. When you're a preteen, you focus so much on your hobbies, your friends, new things of media to be obsessed with, and other stuff that it kind of blurs the connection to your family.
Did you notice the bingbong figurine on joys nightstand. (Also the parents had anxiety as well. They just show up in stressful moments. Like when riley said her time at camp was "good" both her parents anxiety appeared) (Ennui is my favorite emotion)
First time here and in the first thirty seconds I was subscribed. I love your accent and energy. I also love your reactions. But your self acceptance is what I love the most. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. ✌️😊💕
So happy to see you reacting to this movie!!! I was concerned about it being another dud sequel, but the care the writers and animators clearly had with it was a very pleasant surprise. Your movie reactions are always like an unexpected treat and the end of a long week, so thank you
My favourite detail is when Anxiety says that Fear protects Riley from what she sees and Anxiety protects Riley from what she doesn’t see and at the end Riley doesn’t see her friend.
The driver seat at my console is shared. Three take shifts driving: anxiety, sadness and anger. Unfortunately there isn’t a designated driver when they get drunk with power.
"Don't make me agree with anxiety." I had almost the same thought while watching. I was in the theater, and I was the only one to laugh at a few of Anxiety's lines because I agreed with Anxiety. Specifically that point at 28:05, I had a total LOL moment that the rest of the theater clearly did not.
OK so on why family island is so small, my guess is that as a kid you love hanging with your parents, having family activities and just being with them because you're not sure how to navigate the world. But as you grow older and especially in your teenage years, you start to socialize more and prefer hanging with people your own age, that's why Family Island shrunk, and Friendship Island is so much bigger in comparison. Now, this isn't the case for everyone but based on my experiences and stuff within the context of the movie, that's just my interpretation.
You know it's a good panic attack scene when *I* started having panic attack symptoms in the theater. Absolutely brutal yet therapeutic to watch as someone who has literally dealt with anxiety attacks since I was Riley's age and didn't even start knowing how to process them until I got a therapist as an adult.
I think family island is just smaller because in your teens you tend to have a much larger social circle than just your family and those external connections to your friend get the primary focus of you social interest
Family Island is so little because Riley places less importance on family than she does with friends and socializing. According to the Erik Ericson's psychological theories of psychosocial development (which Inside Out is roughly based on), Riley would be in the stage of "Identity vs. Role Confusion". In this stage, defined by people from ages 12-18, people start to establish a firmer grasp of their self identity. (This is reflected in the film with the sprouting of Riley's "senses of self"). If a sense of self is not established by this stage, then the person falls into "role confusion" where they fail to understand who they are and thus, where they "fit in" and what role they play in society. With that being said, since identity and role establishment is emphasised in this stage of an individual's lifespan, they naturally focus on friends and the community. They're trying to experiment to see what role they fit with the community. Family is just not as important in this stage. Family is seen more as a distraction than as an obligation. That's partially why teenagers are notorious for geting easily annoyed with their parents.
I’m pretty likely driven by anxiety. I spent a big chunk of my life with my resting heart rate on average higher than it should be and had no idea 😬 but it’s good that plenty of other emotions get their turn
My theory is she's only allowed x amount of land mass so as one gets bigger others get smaller as others crumble others get formed so on and so forth our lives are just full of balance
For some having socks that fit perfectly feels suffocating and drives them crazy. I LOVE that they didn't backtrack Joy's character in this movie. She learned her lesson and it stuck, even when things got hard she never once thinks Anxiety or the other new emotions are bad or shouldn't be expressed. She's learned every emotion is important and needs to be expressed, to work as a team.
I saw a comment that basically said “I want an inside out sequel every decade until riley’s an old lady” and I would agree with that.

Also, the fact that Riley is now actively calling for Joy is a nod that as you get older, you have better control over your emotions. If you need a specific emotion, you can call upon it. It's like how Mom's Sadness is a driving force with her emotions because, as the mother, she would need Sadness' other capabilities. Similarly with Dad and his anger.
I guess your leading emotions depends on what is going to be a major part of your life.

This movie's message is SOO IMPORTANT!
In order to see yourself for who you are, you need to see ALL of you. And when you do, your mind finally starts to clear, and you can stop being blinded by the past and future, and instead be aware of now. How she feels the bench and hears the sounds, to be in the moment. To be here. THAT'S how you start to understand yourself.
And the representation that as a kid, we're mainly driven by our emotions. But as we grow, we develop a better sense of self, and become our own person. Her wanting Joy at the end is a sign of how you won't immediately feel happy, sad, etc when you want to, but that you know how you feel and how you want to feel, which is another aspect of aware-ness.
I find it funny that everyone gets scared of the floating particle effect before sadness says "joy, Riley wants you". We have gotten used to associating floating particles with something bad, usually death, in modern media that it seems to spike everyone's anxiety for a second.
When the Witch is juicing up in Minecraft...
Particles had been shown floating off Joy whenever she was feeling... un-joyful, so it has been used as a bad sign in these films before.
Two death scenes in The Owl House involved floating particles
I’ve really grown to love anxiety 🧡 I relate to her so bad. I feel anxiety almost every day and she was just misunderstood. I love how they didn’t treat her like a villain.
She only wanted to help Riley but chose the wrong choices doing so, and that anxiety attack scene almost brought me to tears. They’re absolutely terrifying to experience. Thank you so much for watching this🥰 I love your reaction so much
Even when Fear was taken outta headquarters, Riley wasn't fearless because she was anxious and envious making her insecure about not being good enough and made terrible bold decisions such as sneaking into coaches office to read the notebook.
Elijah should react to Inside 2 as well
OH MY GOD, YES SHE SHOULD!!!!!!!
And they both should react to "Mitchell's vs Machines"after!
Did you peep that when Riley was in the penalty box the first time she started that heavy breathing like she was going into an anxiety attack, then cut to Joy talking to us about how Riley has been.
I was it and I was BAWLING LMAO. I relalated sm to Riley's panic attack-
You and 1000 other people buddy
@@Crowhexer oki (I can't tell if thats hate or . . . . I wasn't trying to say that I was the only person who related to it . . .
Well dw there's probably a lot of teenagers that relate to it (i mean i kinda relate)
@@Cup-CakeCho-Colat ik
@@Cup-CakeCho-Colat you think only teenagers can relate?
"Just because the little person inside my head that drives everything is anxiety"
You've even got the hair hehe
My Core Emotions are a mix of Anger, Anxiety , and Sadness.
Joy is long dead and buried in the back of my mind (I’m 55 and have had a sucky life) I can’t remember the last time I felt actual Joy.
Family island being overshadowed by friendship is just a jab at how teens start getting more independent and start to have that mystery beef with their parents.
It's not just a "jab" is a very fundamental part of developmental psychology. As we grow older our brains start to realize that we aren't just part of our families, but belong to social spheres. It is how humans develop identities that go beyond their family, ie identifying with a tribe, sports team, school, or company.
@@SwordTunedamn then I must be an alien in disguise or something because I actually like to be around with my family rather than being with friends (friends can be rather much) with my parents, I always tell them everything, even to things that not many people would want them to know about themselves. This statement is more like stereotypes because not all people are distant with their families.
I’m not saying that you’re wrong in any way because it is true, most teens/younger adults are rather distant with their parents. I just find this comment interesting.
@@Kim_Arix it's less about being distant from family, and more, there's less room for them once you start making more relationships. Inevitably when you add new relationships that takes up some room current relationships used to take.
@@willparry530I get that and it’s true. I just feel like I’m in a certain age where not many people like myself don’t talk to their parents and I find that a bit sad. Most of my friends are like that. About adding to more relationships, I don’t think I could add anymore to it than just family & Friends. People come into our lives and go. It do be like that sometimes.
Sorry about this comment.
@@Kim_Arix no need to apologize. My point is, before friends you ONLY had family. The first friend you make takes up some space that family used to take, is all. I'm not talking about any relationships other than friends and family here.
As someone with a (diagnosed) anxiety and depressive disorder, the first movie hit hard with its depiction of depression. Then this comes along and they make it about anxiety taking over your brain, flooding it with beliefs you can't discern from your own, destroying your identity until you're driven by a inferiority complex and driving people away...
...someone at Pixar is spying on me and loves the taste of my tears 😅 Especially the anxiety attack sequence... yeah, that tornado is what it feels like in my brain.
As someone with diagnosed severe anxiety- on medication for it now (thank goodness)- This movie meant a lot to me because it was so relatable! Especially with the talking too much thing she does when she's nervous! So me. Although I also have ADHD so mayhaps a bit of that leaks in-
ALSO!!! MAYA HAWKE DID SO GOOD AS ANXIETY!!! (She plays Robin in Stranger Things and a MC from Do Revenge! Both are very queer coded so it was really nice to hear her voice as such an important character to me.
I cried watching this movie. Multiple times, I'm not ashamed. I also watched it in theaters the day it came out so everything was a lot bigger! Highly recommend this film and also yes!! NIMONA! PLEASE CHECK OUT NIMONA!!
Thanks for the reaction! It was lovely and I cried watching it despite the fact it wasn't a direct watch. I'm very hungry...
One last thing! Thomas Sanders or SandersSides had a really good 2 parter on coping with/ understanding anxiety thay really helped me a few years back!! Much love, later!
She already reacted to "Nimona"a while back(just checked her channel)."Mitchell's vs Machines"next!
@@phousefilms Yeah! I watched that reaction and the movie is one of my all time favs!! I probably should have clarified I was backing her end of video recommendation and not making a recommendation of my own- ALSO YAY! I LOVE MITCHELL'S VS THE MACHINES!!! 🥹✨🙏
Seconded about the socks, my girl. The absolute worst is when they roll halfway down your foot when you're in a place where you can't just take your shoe off and roll it back up. 😖
29:17 You know, there is a theory that Riley's emotions being a mix of men and women while the other humans' emotions are the same gender as them, could be a sign in this world that Riley is bisexual. Of course Disney would never confirm it, but I kinda like it, and it could just be me, but she does give off those vibes a little.
I dont really see the connection since gender and sexuality are two different things. If this theory is true, shouldn't her mom's emotions all be male and her dad's emotions all be female if they were presumed to be straight and the emotions reflect their sexuality?
On the other hand, Riley would be under the non-binary or gender-fluid umbrella if /gender/ is the key factor of how the emotions present themselves (considering the mom presents as female, dad presents as male, and their emotions reflect that). OR this is just a visualization of how Riley is still figuring herself out-- her gender identity-- and the emotions will slowly come to reflect whatever she certainly feels that she is.
@@TheCanderemy They are.
I like it too. This is my head canon now. And it would also explain why she idolizes Val so much, if it's a crush.
@@TheCanderemyI think you've got it a bit backwards. Plus, it's not like that's the only evidence. She has shown some interest in boys and girls.
@@genjis5155 what's backwards? Im not saying she is or isnt Bi, btw; just that the emotion's genders dont necessarily reflect which sex she's attracted to romantically because if that were the case, the mom should be attracted to only women and the dad attracted to only men.
the anxiety attack scene hit close to home, the same thing with the scene of her having insomnia because of anxiety. I once had an anxiety attack during the night after thinking in my head of people not liking me because of my art or my personality, I started hyperventilating and crying, my chest hurt and I couldn't sleep, no one at home helped me, my mother told me to go to sleep and the whole night I had difficulty sleeping, eventually I calmed down but as it was my first case of an anxiety attack it was a somewhat traumatic event... that's why this scene came to me as the most relatable and touching.
Family Island was little because as you get older you kind of pull away from your family and get more involved with your friends.
I love that they never actually *stop* anxiety, all they can do is reason with her and hope she'll listen(just like real anxiety, you just have to use reason to try and fight it back)
Edit: Dark Secret locked themself back up, so I think they're lying about what the secret was(I personally think the secret will be that Riley is either bisexual or gender fluid or both)
yeah I definitely feel like she's some flavor of queer, she totally had a crush on Val
I swear, I kept thinking that every time Riley talked about or interacted with Val
THe family island what’s smaller because as a teenager her focus is more on friendship and less on family also in the first movie she moved somewhere where she didn’t have friends
Went to see this in theaters with coworkers, and we learned that a group of therapists tend to laugh at things that no else does 😅
But in all seriousness, this movie is SO amazing and really well done. They had four psychologists they worked with to develop it and it was wonderfully done. Glad you shared your experience of it with us! ❤
I'm not sure which Inside Out I like more, but I do like how this one experiments with giving Riley autonomy as a person rather than having the emotions control everything, and the things she deals with feel more relatable. And yeah, I would actually like to see even more sequels that tackle more mature concepts, graduating high school, dating, going to college, etc., as long as the filmmakers maintain the consistent level of care and attention.
29:23 Tbf, a lot of people including myself thought that's where the story was going to go.
Hi mosco i think the reason why family island was so small is because most not all but most teenagers rely more on their friends and want to be with their friends more than their family and they just have more memories with their friends than they do with their family because they spend more time socialising than just staying in one place all the time hope this helps and great video as always loved it!
I personally think that its not that family island is smaller its that friendship island is just so much bigger in comparison in terms of perspective
I love that there are like twenty parts of this movie I can think of off the top of my head that your intro could be a response to. This will be fun!
Honestly this movie came out the perfect time for me as at the time I was having really anxious thoughts and they wouldn’t go away no matter how hard I tried to forgot about them so this is more personal to me 😊.
15:58 lol i use the same chapstick
I really liked this movie. You reacting to it is a pleasant surprise.
Anex omg 😂 i donut know how to send help, but I’ll send good vibes 😂
Also, anxiety attacks SUCK. Looove how they showed Riley grounding herself 😌
"This Was Emotional!"
Hence Inside Out 2.
That family island was so little in the sequel opposed to the prequel, is definitely because of how teenagers are and how they set their priorities. When you're a teen, you definitely want to be less around your parents and value them not as highly as your peers. And I believe the boy band island was briefly introduced at the end of the first movie, as part of Riley's new islands.
There’s a deleted scene where it would’ve given Embarrassment more screen time. Riley is at a public pool, but does not know how to interact with the other hockey girls while there. I honestly think the scene should’ve been kept in the final film. And…
Blue’s Clues + Dora the Explorer + Mickey Mouse Clubhouse + a hint of Bluey = Bloofy!
It would be neat if Mosco did an edited version of this video with a corresponding color filter highlighting their emotions through the reaction
I’m so excited to you react to this! I loved this movie and the first one.
I'd really like to see Disney make a series out of this, similar to how Osmosis Jones did. There's a lot of emotional turmoil you can go through in high school, and I feel like 22 min or so episodes would be great at tackling all those small emotionally rife events better than a movie really could
It was cool to see that Joy has grown but had room to learn even more. That's a good sequel. They don't make her learn the same lesson all over again.
The bit where she grabbed Hamish- I exactly knew why she was getting emotional. I bawled my eyes at this part! As someone who is in therapy anxiety, this scene hits hard. To be aware of your surroundings.
I'm assuming family island is so small because is just Riley mum and dad, small family.
Neuralink meets human brain, wreck it ralph and inside out crossover
Okay, the "joy ride" pun got me good.
17:54
I NOW RIGHT?? How they do to be a day with the socks like that?!
Saludos de Argentina 💜🇦🇷💜
Growth that joy went through
She finally faced her own emotions and snapped which is necessary sometimes
Girl, you NEED to watch Soul! Life-changing film!!
Wow I never thought I see you react to a Pixar movie
My first thought of Riley’s dark secret was that she’s gay lol😂
11:36 - One of the few people to actually take a look at the emotions’ sleeping quarters and didn’t notice Bing Bong because the ladder was in the way.
Fun fact: Ennui is actually means Boredom in French
Maya Hawke (Stranger Things) voices Anxiety. When she rants and raves like a lunatic from pure anxiety gave her away
She’s also a natural speed talker.
@@Otisboy121 that too
I knew you'd like this one.
Ok. So....someone need to make fanart of the emotions in the heads of the skittle squad.
I think the family island being small thing means that family to become a "lesser" part of rileys life
12:04 she didn't see BingBoooooong 🥲
i was looking for this comment 😭
My favorite part is the ending where Reilly wants joy. When you get older, sometimes it feels like there is less joy to have, but really joy is always there, the difference is that you need to chose Joy over Anxiety.
Mosco speaks facts about anxiety. This is reminder to everyone that you shouldn’t need to feel like you want to be young again. Because being young means going through anxiety to the max. Trust me, it is not something you want to experience twice. 😅💜
Thinking about how Riley's family island is so small. It reminds me of how when I was younger around Riley's age that I had taken my family for granite and didn't realize until after I turned 18 that family is really important to keep close to you especially if they love you unconditionally which not everyone has of course. When you're a preteen, you focus so much on your hobbies, your friends, new things of media to be obsessed with, and other stuff that it kind of blurs the connection to your family.
Did you notice the bingbong figurine on joys nightstand.
(Also the parents had anxiety as well. They just show up in stressful moments. Like when riley said her time at camp was "good" both her parents anxiety appeared)
(Ennui is my favorite emotion)
First time here and in the first thirty seconds I was subscribed. I love your accent and energy. I also love your reactions. But your self acceptance is what I love the most. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
✌️😊💕
Ok now you have to do IF!!
Noooo you missed seeing mom's and dad's anxiety at the end😂😢
So happy to see you reacting to this movie!!! I was concerned about it being another dud sequel, but the care the writers and animators clearly had with it was a very pleasant surprise. Your movie reactions are always like an unexpected treat and the end of a long week, so thank you
My favourite detail is when Anxiety says that Fear protects Riley from what she sees and Anxiety protects Riley from what she doesn’t see and at the end Riley doesn’t see her friend.
Inside Out 2 is one of the best and greatest sequels ever. We got some new emotions in Riley's mind. Things are going to get crazier
😃😭😡🤮😱😨🥺😒😳👍🏾🤣
The driver seat at my console is shared. Three take shifts driving: anxiety, sadness and anger. Unfortunately there isn’t a designated driver when they get drunk with power.
"Don't make me agree with anxiety." I had almost the same thought while watching. I was in the theater, and I was the only one to laugh at a few of Anxiety's lines because I agreed with Anxiety. Specifically that point at 28:05, I had a total LOL moment that the rest of the theater clearly did not.
you know if I could make a suggestion, if you wanna do more Pixar films I highly suggest you give onward a try that film is pretty emotional.
I love your contact so much and I love this movie it's so amazing and sad have a good day my friend ❤
anxiety can be quite helpful actually
but when too much, any emotions is harmful
OK so on why family island is so small, my guess is that as a kid you love hanging with your parents, having family activities and just being with them because you're not sure how to navigate the world. But as you grow older and especially in your teenage years, you start to socialize more and prefer hanging with people your own age, that's why Family Island shrunk, and Friendship Island is so much bigger in comparison.
Now, this isn't the case for everyone but based on my experiences and stuff within the context of the movie, that's just my interpretation.
You know it's a good panic attack scene when *I* started having panic attack symptoms in the theater. Absolutely brutal yet therapeutic to watch as someone who has literally dealt with anxiety attacks since I was Riley's age and didn't even start knowing how to process them until I got a therapist as an adult.
I think family island is just smaller because in your teens you tend to have a much larger social circle than just your family and those external connections to your friend get the primary focus of you social interest
Congrats on 50k subs
Family Island is so little because Riley places less importance on family than she does with friends and socializing. According to the Erik Ericson's psychological theories of psychosocial development (which Inside Out is roughly based on), Riley would be in the stage of "Identity vs. Role Confusion". In this stage, defined by people from ages 12-18, people start to establish a firmer grasp of their self identity. (This is reflected in the film with the sprouting of Riley's "senses of self"). If a sense of self is not established by this stage, then the person falls into "role confusion" where they fail to understand who they are and thus, where they "fit in" and what role they play in society.
With that being said, since identity and role establishment is emphasised in this stage of an individual's lifespan, they naturally focus on friends and the community. They're trying to experiment to see what role they fit with the community. Family is just not as important in this stage. Family is seen more as a distraction than as an obligation. That's partially why teenagers are notorious for geting easily annoyed with their parents.
I’m pretty likely driven by anxiety. I spent a big chunk of my life with my resting heart rate on average higher than it should be and had no idea 😬 but it’s good that plenty of other emotions get their turn
This movie had me almost crying when I saw it I loved this movie when I saw it and loved your reaction
It's good to see Hamish back, I feel like it's been a minute.
My theory is she's only allowed x amount of land mass so as one gets bigger others get smaller as others crumble others get formed so on and so forth our lives are just full of balance
For some having socks that fit perfectly feels suffocating and drives them crazy.
I LOVE that they didn't backtrack Joy's character in this movie. She learned her lesson and it stuck, even when things got hard she never once thinks Anxiety or the other new emotions are bad or shouldn't be expressed. She's learned every emotion is important and needs to be expressed, to work as a team.
Wooo ❤
