not gonna lie, i got choked up on the emotion scenes in this movie, the Anxiety Attack, The Dealing with Change, Losing Friendships, Movie has to much points thats Hits close to home...
Don't forget that when Riley calls joy they start playing "Free Skating" from the 1st movie, showing that Riley isn't thinking about anything else in that moment but remembering why she loved skating in the first place and doing it effortlessly
The part that really got me was that all the memories anxiety added to the belief system where if-then statements. It wasn’t, “people like me” it’s was “if I am cool, then people will like me”. All of them were if-then, and it always feels unachievable so the final statement is “I’m not good enough” because she has made it so that all of her positive attributes were dependent on something else, not just who she is at her core. It got me
That anxiety attack in the penalty box had me bawling! I was a total mess. It felt so real. 😭 And then her friends, not letting her previous actions make them mad, see her need and come over to comfort her! Gah! I'm crying again!
I mean dck move by them. There's a long period in choosing otherschool. Getting accepted and then trapped in car with them is when they tell her. Glad she overcame her panic attack without them.
As a father with twin girls just entering puberty (12 1/2, starting Jr. High in the fall), I really appreciate Pixar making movies specifically to help them. This one and Turning Red are great.
Both movies had similarly great core themes, but this movie succeeded for me where Turning Red completely fell apart by not making Riley and her friends annoying. I was worried early on that they would have the same obnoxious catchphrase dialogue, but they were actually endearing.
I was around that age when the first one came out, and I felt so understood cuz I felt depressed for the first time. I’m so glad these movies exist, it helps people of all ages understand their emotions so much better
One of my favorite moments in the movie was just after the anxiety attack. Riley's finally calming down, and the movie focuses on her hand on the bench. On the sounds of the stadium. Of her vision clearing. Grounding techniques. And then her friends come over to her. Grace (I think) had noticed that Riley wasn't doing so good, something was very wrong, so they came to check on her, and Riley's honest. She wasn't doing good. She'd been upset that they wouldn't be at the same high school. But her friends let her know that they'll be friends regardless. When Riley rejoins the game, she focuses on the sunlight. It will be okay. She just wants to be happy, playing the sport she loves, with her best friends. This is my favorite part of the film. The anxiety attack was so vivid, so realistic, it made me cry (I do not cry easily during movies), but it's the aftermath I love. Riley will be okay
I was 7 years old when the first one come and and I remember loving it and taking to my cousins about which emotions we all thought controlled us at the time. And now as a 16 year old watching the second one I felt everything and really related and I love how it captures how growing up feels.
I was eight. Now I'm seventeen. It reminds me of the gap between Toy Story 2 and 3, which was also perfectly timed for the kids in the audience to grow up.
I was in middle school and it made me want to work in film/tv. I’m now in my early 20s and I do in fact work in film/tv. I have cousins in Riley’s age range and I’m so glad there’s mainstream media that helps explain adolescence and the craziness of those emotions
I kind of appreciated Val being the nicest senior ever. Kids like her do exist, and I feel like they used her to exemplify what a leader is and can be. I feel like she’s a glimpse at what Riley can be one day: a captain who leads by example and is kind to her team and new girls and treats people with respect. Also I feel her maturity and team player-ness was shown to be part of why she was added to the team as a freshman.
I like how both Pixar and Disney are working to normalize emotions and that's okay not being Strong enough all the time - like being "Under Pressure" Encanto, Elements and Inside Out
I loved how anxiety used the creativity crew to come up with all the future scenarios because it’s such a perfect representation and for me it is a bit of a superpower to be able to see the future but I have to try to remember that good things can happen too. That and the losing joy when you grow up really hit hard 😢
I'm lowkry salty that I was denied the gut punch by regional dubbing. In the Polish dub, the sense of self goes from "I'm good." to "I need to be better!", which, while yes it still hurt to hear, I believe it wasn't as striking as "I'm not good enough!"
The change in the sense of self at the end was too real. Having both positive and negative thoughts like "Im not good enough", "I am a good person". "I am a terrible friend" is what really hit for me
did anyone else think that Bloofy was an obvious reference to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse? The whole sequence with Pouchy listing different items that could help them was exactly like Toodles helping Mickey Mouse.
I loved that they portrayed that not processing your emotions at such a developmental age in a healthy way can quite literally destroy your sense of self or cause it not to develop. Riley has a supportive environment so ultimately she overcomes anxiety and starts dealing with coping mechanisms early on. But you have to think about how many people leave anxiety at the helm for years and years and how that would affect your sense of self over the long term. It really got to me.
Yeah .... the music started over the intro titles and I'm like "Oh god! Thanks for the Sucker Punch to the heart, Nostalgia!" Didn't realize that theme was nostalgic until the moment I heard it.
To be totally fair at the "Riley's not batting a thousand but Val keeps inviting her" I think it's implied that compared to everyone else Riley is a pretty elite player that was a level above almost anyone else, and in high school it did really seem like that would happen to freshmen who we thought would make the varsity team
I was in the late stages of a flu virus when I saw this movie and I still thought it was fantastic. It didn't reach the heights of the first movie, but it was a welcome return to more of the same: poignant writing, likable characters, hilarious jokes and Pixar's continuous reign of having the best animation in the business. And the TripleDent Gum callback practically had me on the floor with laughter.
Yay! I'm so glad you are reviewing this! It's so nice to have a little more diversity in the content here! Keep up the good work. Edit: have to watch later, but I wanted to engage for the algorithm!
I cried like a baby at the anxiety attack for 2 reasons. 1, pregnancy hormones (FYI. I'm 7 months pregnant). And 2. I've never seen a more realistic representation of what goes off in my head and body during an anxiety attack of my own (incredible for a 'kids' film). My son with autism also told me, that's how he feels when he's anxious and dysregulated. Absolutely phenomenal film, but I think I'll wait until baby's here before I watch it again, or I'm going to be a wreck.
Congrats on your pregnancy! I hope the rest of it goes well for you and baby! The panic attack scene also wrecked me. It is such a clear, accurate representation of what happens and what it feels like. (The dysregulation piece is interesting too- I am also Autistic)
Fir me it's perimenopause hormones. I thought pregnancy was bad, but this is awful. This movie was so personal for me. I have dreadful anxiety, especially now I have kids.
my daughter was born the weekend this movie came out. I just managed to watch it when it came to D+. I can confirm, you will still be an absolute mess when you watch it postpartum
I just wanted to thank the Carlin bros for continuing this channel over the years. I feel like I’ve grown up with you guys and you gave me the ability to learn to love all my fandoms more publicly! ❤
I was literally crying from the Inside Out theme playing before the Disney logo ended. 😭 The movie was gonna get to me no matter what, but with the intense struggles I have with anxiety, and the vulnerable healing place I've been in the last few years... This movie made me burst out into quiet sobs like 3 separate times. I think the worst was when Anxiety is in the Believe System and all the chords are saying "I'm not good enough" because that's exactly what my belief system would look like. It even gave me this new sense of compassion towards my anxiety because it's not purposely trying to hurt me, it's trying to protect me but it's very misguided. 😭😭😭
Much like the original Inside Out, this is a knock out of the park for Pixar. The visualization of what goes on in our minds is not only relatable, but also feels necessary for teenagers, like me, to watch and get a better understanding of ourselves. In particular, the messaging is fantastic. While anxiety acts very much like a villain, the movie makes it clear, every emotion has a purpose and we need to embrace our worst qualities in order to grow. On top of that, it’s got a sharp script where Riley brainstorms every worse scenario, which is what actually happens when you’re nervous about something, each core emotion is bottled up and replaced by our more complex emotions, which is something I know we’ve all felt at one point in time, and Riley’s conflicting thoughts on whether or not she should look into the coach’s notes feels like a great representation of what happens when we do something that feels immoral but it can benefit us. Overall, I thought it was a solid film and it offers a great understanding of ourselves.
Enui was my favorite new emotion, followed by Embarrassment. Also, something that's easy to miss: one of Riley's friends is a goalie, so since her friends are playing on the other team in the final scrim, the better Riley looks, the worse that friend looks... Also also, a BingBong figurine can be spotted in Joy's HQ bunk in case anyone missed that.
Interesting, I noticed the Disgust voice change immediately, and wouldn't have noticed the Fear voice change if I didn't see it while confirming the Disgust change.
The way Anxiety was Frozen but moving at the same time That is so on point to I might not be moving but I'm thinking about A billion things all at once
I would love to see you guys team up with Cinema Therapy to cover a film. Cinema therapy specializes in analyzing films from a psychological perspective. It would be cool to see all four of you discussing a film together.
Am I the only one who felt like the "Pardon our dust" sign was pulled straight out of the Disney parks where the imagineers are building new attractions?
Probably, cuz that’s a pretty common sign for renovation sites. The “pardon our pixie dust” sign at Disney parks itself is a play on those typical signs.
I went with my mom, my sister and my cousin to watch this movie on the week it came out, and me and my cousin had a blast. I'm 36 and I clearly remember what it was like being a teenager so I could emphasize with Riley despite it being so long ago. My cousin only recently turned 18 so while he likes to pretend he's an old man and being a teenager was a long time ago, he still remember being a teenager very well. My sister, however, is 16 and she felt everything was so relatable. She even felt like the movie was made specifically with her in mind cuz she was going through alot of the same Riley was. Needless to say, she loved the movie. We all had a great time.
I’m not sure if I missed it, but did you guys specifically reference Joy’s line about how as we get older, maybe we just have less joy? That’s definitely one of the big moments that got to me and almost felt too real. Also, in case people don’t know, there is a post credits scene that reveals Riley’s “deep dark secret.” Also, also, actually, actually when Riley is at the lunch table with the Firehawks at the end, they mention her being from Minnesota, meaning that at some point, Riley must have corrected them.
Riley smiles at the end because she got a random nice text, maybe from a friend. She doesn't receive the response of whether she got accepted before the movie ends.
I interpreted throwing the puberty alarm as a kind of 'well that's tomorrow's problem' and then when she blows it up and everything goes in the river, it's gonna be in her sense of self for a while and is setting up for the third movie type events of her hormones coming into play
I saw it in theatres with a friend, and we both agreed that our Nostalgias weren't kicked out and have just been there since we were 13. Granted, our middle school was Covid, so everything pre-that era feels very rosy and surreal. My Nostalgia is definitely at the charge of my consol very frequently, lol
I’ve struggled with anxiety for my whole life, and honestly found it kind of hard to relate to how it was portrayed in this movie. That is until the anxiety attack scene, where Anxiety is frozen/glitching inside the tornado. That part captured the feeling perfectly 🧡
Hi, here a gal fighting with panic attacks and depression for several years : I have seen this movie last weekend and I was crying as a baby watching Riley struggling with my same emotions. Now I am 30yo, still living witch panic and anxiety but I think they will sometimes be in the right place. Oh and Nostalgia definitely is on My board xD
So happy to see this review! I really love your movie reviews and i thought you stopped since there was no Elemental review. Anyway i thought Inside Out 2 was brilliant and the best pixar movie in years. I don't think it reached the same emotional heights as the first movie. Also i thought it was strange how sadness was separate from the other og emotions for most of the film and also the story didn't feel quite as cohesive but there not major negatives. I thought this film captures all the experiences and inner workings of puberty to absolute perfection! I love the character development consistency with Joy letting Riley cry. They selected the perfect new emotions that were all really fun and quirky, in particular, Anxiety. Once again the imagination and cleverness was through the roof. I like how Riley was much more of her own character. And then the anxiety attack scene was amazing. It was one of the best visual interpretations of how an anxiety attack looks like and feels like that has ever been seen on screen. Such a powerful moment. But above everything else this movie was relatable. Almost every single person can relate to this film because it explores such universal experiences, feelings and thoughts. This film feels like it connects us as humans, it something that can bring us together. And that is why its so special ❤. Apart from a few criticisms inside out 2 felt like old pixar and its so nice to see pixar back on top where they belong
The stream of consciousness was a fantastic plot device. The broccoli falls down the sarchasm, anxiety sees the broccoli floating in the belief system, and then the memory avalanche at the end all came together to make a beautiful denouement
The part about the seniors looking out for the freshmen is kinda accurate. I used to be on a middle and high school cross country team and the general unspoken rule was that the older team members were to encourage the younger ones and in high school they would often take at least some of them under their wings. Of course this was typically done for the team members that the coach/coaches hyped up since the idea was to get new varsity players early on to fill in the gaps left behind by those who would later graduate or leave. Of course this attitude was typically not something that everyone would take on since it was more common for sophomores to be recruited early
Hey guys, glad to have a Pixar review back!!! Yeah, between Elemental and Inside Out 2, like, holy smokes... anxiety hits super hard. Great review!!! Do you think you'll do an Elemental review? It's pretty crazy to me how much of a bridge Elemental is between their previous films and Inside Out 2. Take care, my friends!!!
I thought joy having her breakthrough of “i can’t be excited all of the time” was really huge. If you look at the emotions in the parent’s minds they are a lot more reserved in their reactions and showing Joy take that step shows Riley’s growth as a person.
I could see the nostalgia coming in with her being way older. Like 40-60 and having kids and shes about to be a grandma and we see nostalgia come to the forefront and her try to take over causing Riley to go into a sprial trying to be as she was when she was young and like the first two movies realizing her true self at the end and all the emotions lead the show together again.
I think you're selling Val short a bit. Val herself was the freshman who made a showing at this camp and then became the first freshman to make the team. She mentions that that situation was difficult for her. And riley seems to really hero worship her, but Val is still just a teenager. So if her coach has been talking about Riley, then Val Probably sees herself in her. She would want to reach out and take Riley under her wing to kind of guard her against overwhelming expectations. When the other players hype up the importance of the notebook, Riley takes it really seriously, but Val is against planting that idea in her head. Val doesn't want Riley to stake her self worth on getting on the team or not. And even in the Fall, Riley is seated at the hockey table, so Val is invested in helping Riley longterm.
I was watching this movie with two of my best friends. One has struggled with mental health, like I have we have has so many conversations about it and how scarily real it portrays it
@@Boundwithflame23 I will admit, I never watched blue's clues nor Dora. We were, and still are, a Mickey House. It just follows beat by beat how the clubhouse episodes go... perhaps I need to do some research to better inform myself
@@jonathanblackwell42 Ye. Pouchy is probably the most in your face reference to MMC, being a parody of Toodles. Talking to the viewer is also in BC and Dora. I know MMC Clubhouse has the Hot Dog Dance; I think the We Did It song is more referencing Dora since the song in that show is literally called “We Did It” I think Blue’s Clues (the OG with Steve from the late 90s; I think Joe took over at the end of season 4, early 2002) and Dora are both older than MMC incidentally.
An amazing and accurate movie to talk about emotions, feelings, and identity, not only for teenagers, if not also for us, the adults. I am 40 years old father of two kids, and I saw myself in several moments of the movie, especially when Joy is being anxious and sad, but also in the good side when she keeps trying to help Riley even not being convinced on the correct way to do it. I was waiting to watch the movie to see your review and comments, and this is, together with Coco, one of my favourite Pixar movies. I loved it.
I went to see this with my friends (we’re all in high school) and this was extremely relatable with the parade of career options and my one friend ended up transferring to another school last year. I hope there’s another one later in high school trying to figure out how to get together with all of her friends (it’s a struggle for us) and figuring out college
Ok, hear me out… inside out 1 and 2 ARE literally about me. My name is Riley spelt the same way. I was 11 when inside out came out 😂 ALSO I too played hockey just not ice hockey. Unfortunately I suffer from anxiety and have severe anxiety attacks that generally cause me to pass out from hyperventilating on occasion. IT WAS ABOUT ME!
17:17 yes!! This is the key point of the movie, that makes it distinct from the one before it. Riley becomes a character in her own right, being the person in charge, rather than the puppet of her own emotions.
I have to say. As someone who’s experienced many panic attacks the portrayal of the panic attack was probably the best depiction of one I’ve ever seen in any movie. I also was struck by how similar anxiety and joy were in personality. They are both control freaks. In the first movie joy tries to suppress sadness and learns that sadness is necessary, in the sequel anxiety tries to suppress all the other emotions (particularly joy) and learns that they are necessary.
💖💖💖Amazing video as always. The anxiety attack scene was POWERFUL and hit me really hard. As someone who didn’t start having panic attacks until my 30s, seeing a young girl experience it was absolutely heartbreaking. This is also the first time EVER that I felt an anxiety attack portrayed in media represented so well how I feel in that moment.
I loved the grounding exercise she did too. It wasn’t overt, but Riley used her 5 senses. Looking at her skates, hearing the other players voices, touching the bench beside her and deep breathing. She felt the sunshine through the window. That part was so beautiful
Love seeing your breakdown of this movie I just saw it recently and I think the conclusion I've come to for why the different emotions can have different ranges to them is as you get older not only do you get new emotions like anxiety or envy etc, but your emotions expand and grow, like within the Mum's head and the Dad's head, the mums sadness looks like empathy and the Dad's anger is like protection, so I think when in this film Riley's anger says I can't be angry all the time or choices I can't be happy all the time what they're experiencing are different ranges of their emotions like range of sadness is empathy one range is protection, one range of joy is compassion, so you know there's different levels to it these aren't just different emotions like you don't get a empathy emotion or a compassion emotion or a proud emotion etc, instead what's happening is that these existing emotions like joy or sadness or anger I just expanding themselves and it is like a sliding line like you said where there's different levels to it but I don't think that it's different measurements of anger or different measurements of joy like you said what I think it actually is something more like I said it's different versions of those emotions, those five core emotions are becoming more advanced, like how choices in the film that Riley needs more complex emotions but what she doesn't realise is that while yes anxiety and envy etc are all more complex emotions, the five core emotions are also becoming more complex through puberty because again while emotions like anxiety do show up in the parents head in the second film they pushed to the back and we saw it in the first film how the parents had multiple coloured orbs for their different memories and some of them weren't the five colours some of them were other colours so we know that those other emotions have been in the parents head in a different area like further back and headquarters or you know, so we know those emotions pop up every now and again but the five core motions still control the console they're the main emotions but it makes sense that once you go through puberty those main emotions do not necessarily combine with the new emotions but they get more advanced so sadness becomes empathy, anger becomes passion, joy becomes compassion etc. That's why the new emotions are also kind of the opposites of the five core emotions as well, like envy is the opposite of discussed, embarrassment is the opposite of fear and on and on, so it makes sense that they aren't just the opposites but also the same as well, that's why joy has blue hair because she's able to be also sad at the same time she can feel both things because sadness enjoy are connected so it would make sense for embarrassment and sadness to be connected or things like that, I'm not entirely sure if I'm making sense and again this is just my theory and my interpretation on how I interpret this film and interpret these emotions based on what I've seen watching the second film as well as the first one and all of that just based on how I feel about both films and expand upon the first one that can explain why the other emotions weren't the first film in the parents head and all of that kind of stuff I think it has to do with stuff later, for example if they make a third or fourth film it could show Riley in her years of high school with a boyfriend or going into university and getting a job or you know that kind of stuff and as she gets older will probably start to see that the five promotions are the ones sitting at the console like with her parents, it'll just be that the other emotions are still walking around headquarters in the background and she now has more complex memories where their multiple different emotions and her main emotions or even her new emotions are also expanding like there are so many different sides to anxiety anxiety isn't just nuts anxiety, there are good things about it as well or like with how she can be toxic which isn't healthy but then she can also be compassionate or more sad things like that it would make sense for our emotions to get more complex as we get older and kind of combined together a little bit more as we get older the five emotions merge together more so that's why Joy can get angry or I can get sad because all the emotions are more linked than they used to be when Riley was younger, especially now that she's going into puberty and especially in the council was in its early stages of being changed we saw how just slightly touching a button would make Riley overreacting that is so real for puberty and it makes perfect sense that her emotions are more heightened as she's go through puberty but as she gets older and later that will more even out more and stabilise as she becomes an adult and I think it makes sense for more of the emotions to coexist a bit better because they're more linked or more connected in ways that they weren't when she was a child and I think that's what the second film is kind of trying to tell us, that not only are these new more complex emotions coming in to take over, but Riley's five existing emotions are also becoming more complex as she gets older and they have different sides to them they're not just one thing there's not just one type of joy or one type of sadness or one type of anger that Riley can feel she can feel different types like empathy or compassion or passion I'm interested to see what love will be, if that will just take the form of a new emotion that she'll develop as she gets her first boyfriend and becomes an older teenager or if that'll just be some sort of combination of two emotions or something, I'll be interested to see if we get a third film in a few years time and how it expand upon this, I was a little bit worried about all these new sequels coming out, but I think inside out did a great job at expanding on the first one well also making it feel like the first one, I was worried it would be too different or wouldn't feel the same but I was pleasantly surprised to see that I still had that nostalgia feeling for the first one and it did just expand upon it, there are a few things that made it feel a little different but for the most part it felt like a good extension and I think inside out if done correctly is one of those films that as we've seen with the second one now does a really great job at expanding upon the world as Riley gets older so you could make multiple, with some of these films like toy story or the Incredibles don't really need to make sequels with inside out I think that's actually a really great one to keep doing sequels for every 10 years or something because as Riley gets older her emotions is gonna change and she's gonna mature and it's gonna really help kids growing up I think so I'm really excited to see what they do moving forward if they make more and I do think that we will start to see how the different core emotions are like I said able to become more complex than they were originally and are able to feel multiple things themselves or be more connected, again this is just my opinion based on my interpretation of the films but I'm excited to see what happens moving forward.
@@Dungeon_Dunce2011 no, but I haven’t gotten to finishing the video yet - it might be a little while because I have letters to write and a musical to practice for but I’ll keep true to my word :)
Watched the movie as soon as I could. Now realised my main emotions guideing me through life is Fear, Anxiety and Ennui. With Anger and Sadness being how I respond to the fear inwards. But to the outside I show Joy, actually, often more Joy than most at work, with a little touch of Fear to get people to work on things in time. Ennui is when I just stop caring about everything and need the weekend doing almost nothing essential.
At 22:33 - One of the things I noticed that stayed consistent was that when she woke up after puberty "set in," Riley had a small zit on her chin. I'm glad no one brought attention to it, but that is also a part of puberty that no one likes to talk about.
A small detail I really liked is how when Anxiety is trying to build a new sense of self, she only uses her own memories and not any from the other new emotions.
Yeah same like I thought she was disappearing XD then my sis said "its like a side quest thing where the game elads you where you need to go" Ohhhhhh hahaaha
I watched the movie at a Theater in Minneapolis where I am from and when Anger reminded the team that Riley is from Minnesota the whole room burst into cheering and applause. That was a core memory for me 😃
The movie theater I was at was packed with kids, and it was interesting how the kids were reacting to certain scenes. The scene where Anxiety plucked out Riley's "Sense of Self" and yeeted it to the back of the mind was so relatable to me... but then a kid went "WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?!" Me: "Oh kiddo, why WOULDN'T she do that?"
This movie was exceptional! I'm so excited to have actually seen the movie when J & Ben do a review; usually I'm months/years behind!!! {ETA: When Pouchie popped out a Rubber Duck I laughed to myself because I kept hearing Arthur Weasley saying, "... what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?" Now we know, it's to help with our emotions! Ha}
I have massive travel anxiety around trains and what you said hit hard. People are always like 'why don't you just not worry about it there will be another train if you miss it' and so on but it's literally like a black curtain has been drawn over everything, so many things race through your mind and incites shear panic. I don't want to have travel anxiety, crying in public in a proper breakdown isn't exactly fun, but it's not something that you can control, in the moment you genuinely feel blinded by everything else
I, too, already felt things just hearing the song. I knew I wasn't gonna make it without crying, and I indeed didn't. By the time Riley was having her anxiety attack, I was crying along with her.
I have severe anxiety, and have even been sent to the hospital due to a bad anxiety attack. So I can say that they did a great job depicting it in the movie. Symptoms of a bad anxiety attack actually mimic those of a heart attack. I’m on medication now to help calm the anxiety down, especially since I lost my dad almost 2 years ago to Cancer and my anxiety has returned really bad over the last couple months.
Don't know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but the "roll" signature move is from the older smash bros. Metroid prime's Seamus was a female character, making her the first female main character in a video game, and a common crush for teenagers at the time.
Also, the girls that didn't want to play as a princess finally had a character they could identify with, and the signature move was: ball. Almost completely useless, and a hindrance if you were falling and accidentally hit the special move button, because being in a ball made you fall faster. And you just wasted all of your special move bar to die faster...
53:43 FINALLY getting to watch this, as this premiered in my country just a couple of days ago. I think it's Joy and other emotions that have been indeed sending bad stuff for a while, and they just tell audience about it, because it is a new cool feature. I think the fact that Joy didn't realise how much stuff she sent back there is because she also forgets it, because that's the point. This is also what happens in therapy and many other settings when you're like "I have completely forgotten about this horrible thing", yet you have all kinds of traumas and phobias going on and you don't even know why. It's exactly what's happening. Riley can't send them back "herself" because Joy is also "herself"
41:10 Okay this might be because I’m spiritual but the part where Joy is sending ultra positive projections reminded me of how manifesting and being radically positive sometimes did help pull me out of Anxiety! But again the film emphasizes balance
when yhe puberty alarm started going off and the demo crew came in my 4 year old asked why they were destroying everything. i said its because when you're a teenager your brain gets all mixed up.
Got to admit, my expectations were low going into this movie, considering a lot of Disney's movies haven't really been delivering lately, and because the original inside Out is among my favorites in all of Pixar so I didn't expect them to do justice to the original. But they pulled it off and they pulled it off in spades. There's a lot of moments that hurt me to watch and not because they were bad but because I could feel it especially as someone who is fresh out of puberty. I have my first anxiety attack a few years ago and watching Riley have hers brought me back to that. I also loved how Anxiety, while technically the main antagonist, never had bad intentions. She truly wanted to help Riley, just didn't have the best means a lot of the time. You can tell by the look on her face when Riley gets her new sense of self of "I'm not good enough" that that's not what she wanted. Plus I got to say, hearing that ring out hit a little too close to home because that it has been my sense of self for a third of my life. All in all I thought the movie was fantastic and I can only hope that Disney and Pixar can bring back this quality with later movies
not gonna lie, i got choked up on the emotion scenes in this movie, the Anxiety Attack, The Dealing with Change, Losing Friendships, Movie has to much points thats Hits close to home...
The entire movie hits so close to home- it was so well done! I teared up multiple times and full on sobbed at the end panic attack scene.
The ending was when EVERYTHING STARTED TO CHANGE!
So edgy, despite your name, you can't get your game on@ShmadenShmuki.
Yep, me too. 😥
Don't forget that when Riley calls joy they start playing "Free Skating" from the 1st movie, showing that Riley isn't thinking about anything else in that moment but remembering why she loved skating in the first place and doing it effortlessly
The part that really got me was that all the memories anxiety added to the belief system where if-then statements. It wasn’t, “people like me” it’s was “if I am cool, then people will like me”. All of them were if-then, and it always feels unachievable so the final statement is “I’m not good enough” because she has made it so that all of her positive attributes were dependent on something else, not just who she is at her core. It got me
Wow yes. I don’t think I processed that either until reading your comment

That anxiety attack in the penalty box had me bawling! I was a total mess. It felt so real. 😭
And then her friends, not letting her previous actions make them mad, see her need and come over to comfort her! Gah! I'm crying again!
Yeah, was good to visualise how an anxiety attack could be visualised
That scene was so incredibly well done, I loved it.
me too. SO GOOD!
I mean dck move by them. There's a long period in choosing otherschool. Getting accepted and then trapped in car with them is when they tell her. Glad she overcame her panic attack without them.
As someone who suffers from anxiety,it was way too accurate
Being the senior that carries the water bucket because you want to be the change you hope to see in the world is so wholesome 29:29
Jay's moustache has reached peak oil baron cartoon villain levels
I literally just left a snidely whiplash comment, it's glorious huh lol
Inside Out as a whole is truly a gift! My 4 year old often says "Ok I'm better now because joy is at my controls"
As a father with twin girls just entering puberty (12 1/2, starting Jr. High in the fall), I really appreciate Pixar making movies specifically to help them. This one and Turning Red are great.
How does inside out explain adults who do remember their imaginary friends
Both movies had similarly great core themes, but this movie succeeded for me where Turning Red completely fell apart by not making Riley and her friends annoying. I was worried early on that they would have the same obnoxious catchphrase dialogue, but they were actually endearing.
I was around that age when the first one came out, and I felt so understood cuz I felt depressed for the first time. I’m so glad these movies exist, it helps people of all ages understand their emotions so much better
i applaud Turning red too. so emotional.
Don't agree with the Turning red take at all. But agree with inside out
“Can you try not being worried all the time?”
*“WHAT YOU THINK!😭”*
One of my favorite moments in the movie was just after the anxiety attack.
Riley's finally calming down, and the movie focuses on her hand on the bench. On the sounds of the stadium. Of her vision clearing. Grounding techniques. And then her friends come over to her. Grace (I think) had noticed that Riley wasn't doing so good, something was very wrong, so they came to check on her, and Riley's honest. She wasn't doing good. She'd been upset that they wouldn't be at the same high school. But her friends let her know that they'll be friends regardless.
When Riley rejoins the game, she focuses on the sunlight. It will be okay. She just wants to be happy, playing the sport she loves, with her best friends.
This is my favorite part of the film. The anxiety attack was so vivid, so realistic, it made me cry (I do not cry easily during movies), but it's the aftermath I love. Riley will be okay
Yes! A review! It's been a while, we missed this ❤
This is my first review to watch on this channel
I was 7 years old when the first one come and and I remember loving it and taking to my cousins about which emotions we all thought controlled us at the time. And now as a 16 year old watching the second one I felt everything and really related and I love how it captures how growing up feels.
I was eight. Now I'm seventeen. It reminds me of the gap between Toy Story 2 and 3, which was also perfectly timed for the kids in the audience to grow up.
I was in middle school and it made me want to work in film/tv. I’m now in my early 20s and I do in fact work in film/tv. I have cousins in Riley’s age range and I’m so glad there’s mainstream media that helps explain adolescence and the craziness of those emotions
I kind of appreciated Val being the nicest senior ever. Kids like her do exist, and I feel like they used her to exemplify what a leader is and can be. I feel like she’s a glimpse at what Riley can be one day: a captain who leads by example and is kind to her team and new girls and treats people with respect.
Also I feel her maturity and team player-ness was shown to be part of why she was added to the team as a freshman.
I like how both Pixar and Disney are working to normalize emotions and that's okay not being Strong enough all the time - like being "Under Pressure"
Encanto, Elements and Inside Out
I loved how anxiety used the creativity crew to come up with all the future scenarios because it’s such a perfect representation and for me it is a bit of a superpower to be able to see the future but I have to try to remember that good things can happen too. That and the losing joy when you grow up really hit hard 😢
When the sense of self spewed out ‘I’m not good enough!’ I put my chips down and started hugging myself. #ouch 😭
I'm lowkry salty that I was denied the gut punch by regional dubbing.
In the Polish dub, the sense of self goes from "I'm good." to "I need to be better!", which, while yes it still hurt to hear, I believe it wasn't as striking as "I'm not good enough!"
The change in the sense of self at the end was too real. Having both positive and negative thoughts like "Im not good enough", "I am a good person". "I am a terrible friend" is what really hit for me
did anyone else think that Bloofy was an obvious reference to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse? The whole sequence with Pouchy listing different items that could help them was exactly like Toodles helping Mickey Mouse.
I loved that they portrayed that not processing your emotions at such a developmental age in a healthy way can quite literally destroy your sense of self or cause it not to develop. Riley has a supportive environment so ultimately she overcomes anxiety and starts dealing with coping mechanisms early on. But you have to think about how many people leave anxiety at the helm for years and years and how that would affect your sense of self over the long term. It really got to me.
Yeah .... the music started over the intro titles and I'm like "Oh god! Thanks for the Sucker Punch to the heart, Nostalgia!"
Didn't realize that theme was nostalgic until the moment I heard it.
Literally have already seen this movie twice in theater. It is absolutely spectacular.
Ooh same
I'm going for my second time tomorrow!
same!
To be totally fair at the "Riley's not batting a thousand but Val keeps inviting her" I think it's implied that compared to everyone else Riley is a pretty elite player that was a level above almost anyone else, and in high school it did really seem like that would happen to freshmen who we thought would make the varsity team
I was in the late stages of a flu virus when I saw this movie and I still thought it was fantastic. It didn't reach the heights of the first movie, but it was a welcome return to more of the same: poignant writing, likable characters, hilarious jokes and Pixar's continuous reign of having the best animation in the business. And the TripleDent Gum callback practically had me on the floor with laughter.
Yay! I'm so glad you are reviewing this! It's so nice to have a little more diversity in the content here! Keep up the good work.
Edit: have to watch later, but I wanted to engage for the algorithm!
I cried like a baby at the anxiety attack for 2 reasons. 1, pregnancy hormones (FYI. I'm 7 months pregnant). And 2. I've never seen a more realistic representation of what goes off in my head and body during an anxiety attack of my own (incredible for a 'kids' film). My son with autism also told me, that's how he feels when he's anxious and dysregulated. Absolutely phenomenal film, but I think I'll wait until baby's here before I watch it again, or I'm going to be a wreck.
Congrats on your pregnancy! I hope the rest of it goes well for you and baby!
The panic attack scene also wrecked me. It is such a clear, accurate representation of what happens and what it feels like. (The dysregulation piece is interesting too- I am also Autistic)
Fir me it's perimenopause hormones. I thought pregnancy was bad, but this is awful. This movie was so personal for me. I have dreadful anxiety, especially now I have kids.
I am autistic and what your son said about the scene is the EXACT thing that I was thinking!
my daughter was born the weekend this movie came out. I just managed to watch it when it came to D+. I can confirm, you will still be an absolute mess when you watch it postpartum
I just wanted to thank the Carlin bros for continuing this channel over the years. I feel like I’ve grown up with you guys and you gave me the ability to learn to love all my fandoms more publicly! ❤
I was literally crying from the Inside Out theme playing before the Disney logo ended. 😭 The movie was gonna get to me no matter what, but with the intense struggles I have with anxiety, and the vulnerable healing place I've been in the last few years... This movie made me burst out into quiet sobs like 3 separate times. I think the worst was when Anxiety is in the Believe System and all the chords are saying "I'm not good enough" because that's exactly what my belief system would look like. It even gave me this new sense of compassion towards my anxiety because it's not purposely trying to hurt me, it's trying to protect me but it's very misguided. 😭😭😭
Felt the same about the belif system. Nice to have something to visualise it 🙂
I also relate to crying before the Disney logo was done. Especially the second time I saw the movie, it destroyed me multiple times.
The eject tube was trauma dumping, lol. It's all in the back of the mind until it's not anymore
that's not what trauma dumping is. TD is when you spill your trauma on other unsolicited
@@akapotatis9445 thank you for correcting this comment- I appreciate it!
Much like the original Inside Out, this is a knock out of the park for Pixar.
The visualization of what goes on in our minds is not only relatable, but also feels necessary for teenagers, like me, to watch and get a better understanding of ourselves. In particular, the messaging is fantastic. While anxiety acts very much like a villain, the movie makes it clear, every emotion has a purpose and we need to embrace our worst qualities in order to grow. On top of that, it’s got a sharp script where Riley brainstorms every worse scenario, which is what actually happens when you’re nervous about something, each core emotion is bottled up and replaced by our more complex emotions, which is something I know we’ve all felt at one point in time, and Riley’s conflicting thoughts on whether or not she should look into the coach’s notes feels like a great representation of what happens when we do something that feels immoral but it can benefit us.
Overall, I thought it was a solid film and it offers a great understanding of ourselves.
Pixar has said that the 4 town poster is from their Reunion concert
Durning the anxiety attack the second time my son and I saw the movie he yelled out “ Mommy that’s you sometimes”! Sadly he’s not wrong
Enui was my favorite new emotion, followed by Embarrassment. Also, something that's easy to miss: one of Riley's friends is a goalie, so since her friends are playing on the other team in the final scrim, the better Riley looks, the worse that friend looks... Also also, a BingBong figurine can be spotted in Joy's HQ bunk in case anyone missed that.
Fear: someone pinch me
Anger: *PUNCHED HIM*
Loved that part 🤣
Interesting, I noticed the Disgust voice change immediately, and wouldn't have noticed the Fear voice change if I didn't see it while confirming the Disgust change.
Seeing Anger have different emotions just made me think he has emotions in his own head
....so like when joy was sad in the first film?
They did a whole video about this years ago, you should watch it
The way Anxiety was Frozen but moving at the same time
That is so on point to
I might not be moving but I'm thinking about A billion things all at once
I've got chills when Joy gets deppressed and said that maybe people feel less joy when they grow up...
I would love to see you guys team up with Cinema Therapy to cover a film. Cinema therapy specializes in analyzing films from a psychological perspective. It would be cool to see all four of you discussing a film together.
Am I the only one who felt like the "Pardon our dust" sign was pulled straight out of the Disney parks where the imagineers are building new attractions?
Probably, cuz that’s a pretty common sign for renovation sites. The “pardon our pixie dust” sign at Disney parks itself is a play on those typical signs.
Have been waiting for this! Love the reviews! Can’t wait to see you on tour!
I went with my mom, my sister and my cousin to watch this movie on the week it came out, and me and my cousin had a blast. I'm 36 and I clearly remember what it was like being a teenager so I could emphasize with Riley despite it being so long ago. My cousin only recently turned 18 so while he likes to pretend he's an old man and being a teenager was a long time ago, he still remember being a teenager very well. My sister, however, is 16 and she felt everything was so relatable. She even felt like the movie was made specifically with her in mind cuz she was going through alot of the same Riley was. Needless to say, she loved the movie.
We all had a great time.
I’m not sure if I missed it, but did you guys specifically reference Joy’s line about how as we get older, maybe we just have less joy? That’s definitely one of the big moments that got to me and almost felt too real.
Also, in case people don’t know, there is a post credits scene that reveals Riley’s “deep dark secret.”
Also, also, actually, actually when Riley is at the lunch table with the Firehawks at the end, they mention her being from Minnesota, meaning that at some point, Riley must have corrected them.
Pixar giving me "free" therapy haha
Riley smiles at the end because she got a random nice text, maybe from a friend. She doesn't receive the response of whether she got accepted before the movie ends.
I interpreted throwing the puberty alarm as a kind of 'well that's tomorrow's problem' and then when she blows it up and everything goes in the river, it's gonna be in her sense of self for a while and is setting up for the third movie type events of her hormones coming into play
I saw it in theatres with a friend, and we both agreed that our Nostalgias weren't kicked out and have just been there since we were 13. Granted, our middle school was Covid, so everything pre-that era feels very rosy and surreal. My Nostalgia is definitely at the charge of my consol very frequently, lol
I’ve struggled with anxiety for my whole life, and honestly found it kind of hard to relate to how it was portrayed in this movie. That is until the anxiety attack scene, where Anxiety is frozen/glitching inside the tornado. That part captured the feeling perfectly 🧡
Hi, here a gal fighting with panic attacks and depression for several years : I have seen this movie last weekend and I was crying as a baby watching Riley struggling with my same emotions. Now I am 30yo, still living witch panic and anxiety but I think they will sometimes be in the right place.
Oh and Nostalgia definitely is on My board xD
So happy to see this review! I really love your movie reviews and i thought you stopped since there was no Elemental review.
Anyway i thought Inside Out 2 was brilliant and the best pixar movie in years. I don't think it reached the same emotional heights as the first movie. Also i thought it was strange how sadness was separate from the other og emotions for most of the film and also the story didn't feel quite as cohesive but there not major negatives.
I thought this film captures all the experiences and inner workings of puberty to absolute perfection! I love the character development consistency with Joy letting Riley cry. They selected the perfect new emotions that were all really fun and quirky, in particular, Anxiety. Once again the imagination and cleverness was through the roof. I like how Riley was much more of her own character. And then the anxiety attack scene was amazing. It was one of the best visual interpretations of how an anxiety attack looks like and feels like that has ever been seen on screen. Such a powerful moment. But above everything else this movie was relatable. Almost every single person can relate to this film because it explores such universal experiences, feelings and thoughts. This film feels like it connects us as humans, it something that can bring us together. And that is why its so special ❤. Apart from a few criticisms inside out 2 felt like old pixar and its so nice to see pixar back on top where they belong
Loving the stache J!
i swear it gets more bushy every video
It's such a dad 'stache too. Much props to you. I feel like most men can't pull off the stache-without-beard look
The stream of consciousness was a fantastic plot device. The broccoli falls down the sarchasm, anxiety sees the broccoli floating in the belief system, and then the memory avalanche at the end all came together to make a beautiful denouement
The part about the seniors looking out for the freshmen is kinda accurate. I used to be on a middle and high school cross country team and the general unspoken rule was that the older team members were to encourage the younger ones and in high school they would often take at least some of them under their wings. Of course this was typically done for the team members that the coach/coaches hyped up since the idea was to get new varsity players early on to fill in the gaps left behind by those who would later graduate or leave. Of course this attitude was typically not something that everyone would take on since it was more common for sophomores to be recruited early
J's mustache is amazing!
Hey guys, glad to have a Pixar review back!!!
Yeah, between Elemental and Inside Out 2, like, holy smokes... anxiety hits super hard.
Great review!!!
Do you think you'll do an Elemental review? It's pretty crazy to me how much of a bridge Elemental is between their previous films and Inside Out 2.
Take care, my friends!!!
This movie made me feel things deep within my soul
I thought joy having her breakthrough of “i can’t be excited all of the time” was really huge. If you look at the emotions in the parent’s minds they are a lot more reserved in their reactions and showing Joy take that step shows Riley’s growth as a person.
I could see the nostalgia coming in with her being way older. Like 40-60 and having kids and shes about to be a grandma and we see nostalgia come to the forefront and her try to take over causing Riley to go into a sprial trying to be as she was when she was young and like the first two movies realizing her true self at the end and all the emotions lead the show together again.
I think you're selling Val short a bit. Val herself was the freshman who made a showing at this camp and then became the first freshman to make the team. She mentions that that situation was difficult for her. And riley seems to really hero worship her, but Val is still just a teenager. So if her coach has been talking about Riley, then Val
Probably sees herself in her. She would want to reach out and take Riley under her wing to kind of guard her against overwhelming expectations. When the other players hype up the importance of the notebook, Riley takes it really seriously, but Val is against planting that idea in her head. Val doesn't want Riley to stake her self worth on getting on the team or not. And even in the Fall, Riley is seated at the hockey table, so Val is invested in helping Riley longterm.
I was watching this movie with two of my best friends. One has struggled with mental health, like I have we have has so many conversations about it and how scarily real it portrays it
Not blues clues, Mickey mouse clubhouse
Bit of a mix of Blue’s Clues, MMC, and Dora
@@Boundwithflame23 I will admit, I never watched blue's clues nor Dora. We were, and still are, a Mickey House. It just follows beat by beat how the clubhouse episodes go... perhaps I need to do some research to better inform myself
@@jonathanblackwell42 Ye. Pouchy is probably the most in your face reference to MMC, being a parody of Toodles. Talking to the viewer is also in BC and Dora. I know MMC Clubhouse has the Hot Dog Dance; I think the We Did It song is more referencing Dora since the song in that show is literally called “We Did It”
I think Blue’s Clues (the OG with Steve from the late 90s; I think Joe took over at the end of season 4, early 2002) and Dora are both older than MMC incidentally.
1 billion at the box office in 19 days Pixar is doing something right
An amazing and accurate movie to talk about emotions, feelings, and identity, not only for teenagers, if not also for us, the adults. I am 40 years old father of two kids, and I saw myself in several moments of the movie, especially when Joy is being anxious and sad, but also in the good side when she keeps trying to help Riley even not being convinced on the correct way to do it.
I was waiting to watch the movie to see your review and comments, and this is, together with Coco, one of my favourite Pixar movies. I loved it.
Missed your guys' Pixar content!! I'm so excited for this video!
I went to see this with my friends (we’re all in high school) and this was extremely relatable with the parade of career options and my one friend ended up transferring to another school last year. I hope there’s another one later in high school trying to figure out how to get together with all of her friends (it’s a struggle for us) and figuring out college
Ok, hear me out… inside out 1 and 2 ARE literally about me. My name is Riley spelt the same way. I was 11 when inside out came out 😂 ALSO I too played hockey just not ice hockey. Unfortunately I suffer from anxiety and have severe anxiety attacks that generally cause me to pass out from hyperventilating on occasion. IT WAS ABOUT ME!
Because Anger is Anger, there was something so sweet about seeing him being kind and gentle and caring towards those who aren't feeling up
17:17 yes!! This is the key point of the movie, that makes it distinct from the one before it. Riley becomes a character in her own right, being the person in charge, rather than the puppet of her own emotions.
I have to say. As someone who’s experienced many panic attacks the portrayal of the panic attack was probably the best depiction of one I’ve ever seen in any movie. I also was struck by how similar anxiety and joy were in personality. They are both control freaks. In the first movie joy tries to suppress sadness and learns that sadness is necessary, in the sequel anxiety tries to suppress all the other emotions (particularly joy) and learns that they are necessary.
💖💖💖Amazing video as always. The anxiety attack scene was POWERFUL and hit me really hard. As someone who didn’t start having panic attacks until my 30s, seeing a young girl experience it was absolutely heartbreaking. This is also the first time EVER that I felt an anxiety attack portrayed in media represented so well how I feel in that moment.
I loved the grounding exercise she did too. It wasn’t overt, but Riley used her 5 senses. Looking at her skates, hearing the other players voices, touching the bench beside her and deep breathing. She felt the sunshine through the window. That part was so beautiful
@@adrianaavila8853 so true!! If only I had learned sooner how to do those kinds of exercises. Never too late! 💖
Love seeing your breakdown of this movie I just saw it recently and I think the conclusion I've come to for why the different emotions can have different ranges to them is as you get older not only do you get new emotions like anxiety or envy etc, but your emotions expand and grow, like within the Mum's head and the Dad's head, the mums sadness looks like empathy and the Dad's anger is like protection, so I think when in this film Riley's anger says I can't be angry all the time or choices I can't be happy all the time what they're experiencing are different ranges of their emotions like range of sadness is empathy one range is protection, one range of joy is compassion, so you know there's different levels to it these aren't just different emotions like you don't get a empathy emotion or a compassion emotion or a proud emotion etc, instead what's happening is that these existing emotions like joy or sadness or anger I just expanding themselves and it is like a sliding line like you said where there's different levels to it but I don't think that it's different measurements of anger or different measurements of joy like you said what I think it actually is something more like I said it's different versions of those emotions, those five core emotions are becoming more advanced, like how choices in the film that Riley needs more complex emotions but what she doesn't realise is that while yes anxiety and envy etc are all more complex emotions, the five core emotions are also becoming more complex through puberty because again while emotions like anxiety do show up in the parents head in the second film they pushed to the back and we saw it in the first film how the parents had multiple coloured orbs for their different memories and some of them weren't the five colours some of them were other colours so we know that those other emotions have been in the parents head in a different area like further back and headquarters or you know, so we know those emotions pop up every now and again but the five core motions still control the console they're the main emotions but it makes sense that once you go through puberty those main emotions do not necessarily combine with the new emotions but they get more advanced so sadness becomes empathy, anger becomes passion, joy becomes compassion etc. That's why the new emotions are also kind of the opposites of the five core emotions as well, like envy is the opposite of discussed, embarrassment is the opposite of fear and on and on, so it makes sense that they aren't just the opposites but also the same as well, that's why joy has blue hair because she's able to be also sad at the same time she can feel both things because sadness enjoy are connected so it would make sense for embarrassment and sadness to be connected or things like that, I'm not entirely sure if I'm making sense and again this is just my theory and my interpretation on how I interpret this film and interpret these emotions based on what I've seen watching the second film as well as the first one and all of that just based on how I feel about both films and expand upon the first one that can explain why the other emotions weren't the first film in the parents head and all of that kind of stuff I think it has to do with stuff later, for example if they make a third or fourth film it could show Riley in her years of high school with a boyfriend or going into university and getting a job or you know that kind of stuff and as she gets older will probably start to see that the five promotions are the ones sitting at the console like with her parents, it'll just be that the other emotions are still walking around headquarters in the background and she now has more complex memories where their multiple different emotions and her main emotions or even her new emotions are also expanding like there are so many different sides to anxiety anxiety isn't just nuts anxiety, there are good things about it as well or like with how she can be toxic which isn't healthy but then she can also be compassionate or more sad things like that it would make sense for our emotions to get more complex as we get older and kind of combined together a little bit more as we get older the five emotions merge together more so that's why Joy can get angry or I can get sad because all the emotions are more linked than they used to be when Riley was younger, especially now that she's going into puberty and especially in the council was in its early stages of being changed we saw how just slightly touching a button would make Riley overreacting that is so real for puberty and it makes perfect sense that her emotions are more heightened as she's go through puberty but as she gets older and later that will more even out more and stabilise as she becomes an adult and I think it makes sense for more of the emotions to coexist a bit better because they're more linked or more connected in ways that they weren't when she was a child and I think that's what the second film is kind of trying to tell us, that not only are these new more complex emotions coming in to take over, but Riley's five existing emotions are also becoming more complex as she gets older and they have different sides to them they're not just one thing there's not just one type of joy or one type of sadness or one type of anger that Riley can feel she can feel different types like empathy or compassion or passion I'm interested to see what love will be, if that will just take the form of a new emotion that she'll develop as she gets her first boyfriend and becomes an older teenager or if that'll just be some sort of combination of two emotions or something, I'll be interested to see if we get a third film in a few years time and how it expand upon this, I was a little bit worried about all these new sequels coming out, but I think inside out did a great job at expanding on the first one well also making it feel like the first one, I was worried it would be too different or wouldn't feel the same but I was pleasantly surprised to see that I still had that nostalgia feeling for the first one and it did just expand upon it, there are a few things that made it feel a little different but for the most part it felt like a good extension and I think inside out if done correctly is one of those films that as we've seen with the second one now does a really great job at expanding upon the world as Riley gets older so you could make multiple, with some of these films like toy story or the Incredibles don't really need to make sequels with inside out I think that's actually a really great one to keep doing sequels for every 10 years or something because as Riley gets older her emotions is gonna change and she's gonna mature and it's gonna really help kids growing up I think so I'm really excited to see what they do moving forward if they make more and I do think that we will start to see how the different core emotions are like I said able to become more complex than they were originally and are able to feel multiple things themselves or be more connected, again this is just my opinion based on my interpretation of the films but I'm excited to see what happens moving forward.
YIPEEEE I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE REVIEWING THIS!!
I’ll edit when I finish watching :)
have you been watching for 8 hours?
@@Dungeon_Dunce2011 no, but I haven’t gotten to finishing the video yet - it might be a little while because I have letters to write and a musical to practice for but I’ll keep true to my word :)
@@hihowareyou8473 okay, I was just a little confused.
Watched the movie as soon as I could. Now realised my main emotions guideing me through life is Fear, Anxiety and Ennui. With Anger and Sadness being how I respond to the fear inwards. But to the outside I show Joy, actually, often more Joy than most at work, with a little touch of Fear to get people to work on things in time.
Ennui is when I just stop caring about everything and need the weekend doing almost nothing essential.
At 22:33 - One of the things I noticed that stayed consistent was that when she woke up after puberty "set in," Riley had a small zit on her chin. I'm glad no one brought attention to it, but that is also a part of puberty that no one likes to talk about.
Nostalgia was the best
Remember when Nostalgia made her first appearance? Those were the days….
I both love and hate that the mysterious fifth emotion we all speculated about was just a throwaway joke that got used twice.
A small detail I really liked is how when Anxiety is trying to build a new sense of self, she only uses her own memories and not any from the other new emotions.
Are we finally going to get some more Pixar theory videos and an Easter egg video now?
Not gonna lie, when I saw joy getting drawn towards the console with all the bits of yellow light I thought she was dying 😅
Me too! I was so worried until they explained it 😆😅
Yes I thought she was fizzling away not getting stronger through her presence
Same.
Thanos got yall real good 😜
Yeah same like I thought she was disappearing XD
then my sis said "its like a side quest thing where the game elads you where you need to go" Ohhhhhh hahaaha
I watched the movie at a Theater in Minneapolis where I am from and when Anger reminded the team that Riley is from Minnesota the whole room burst into cheering and applause. That was a core memory for me 😃
I loved nostalgia passing by multiple times...
The movie theater I was at was packed with kids, and it was interesting how the kids were reacting to certain scenes.
The scene where Anxiety plucked out Riley's "Sense of Self" and yeeted it to the back of the mind was so relatable to me... but then a kid went "WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?!"
Me: "Oh kiddo, why WOULDN'T she do that?"
This movie was exceptional! I'm so excited to have actually seen the movie when J & Ben do a review; usually I'm months/years behind!!! {ETA: When Pouchie popped out a Rubber Duck I laughed to myself because I kept hearing Arthur Weasley saying, "... what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?" Now we know, it's to help with our emotions! Ha}
Ducks go in cups.
@@sarahjraines Oh gosh, yes! How could I have forgotten that?! Ha! Thanks for reminding me.
I have massive travel anxiety around trains and what you said hit hard. People are always like 'why don't you just not worry about it there will be another train if you miss it' and so on but it's literally like a black curtain has been drawn over everything, so many things race through your mind and incites shear panic. I don't want to have travel anxiety, crying in public in a proper breakdown isn't exactly fun, but it's not something that you can control, in the moment you genuinely feel blinded by everything else
So glad to see another movie review for SCB. These are always interesting and provoke some thoughts.
43:13 Have you tried knocking yourself unconscious so that you can’t worry?
Bwahahahahahahaha!
That mustache all on its own makes it impossible for me to not see you as snidely whiplash.... and I love it.
29:44 this speaks volumes to Ben’s character (and J’s too who’s agreeing).
The children on wither side of my in the theatre: 😊
Me: 😂😭😬😂😅😭😭😭😂🥳😅😭❤️😬
I wish nostalgia would have shown up in the parent’s head. Especially the Dads head at the end when the emotion put on the game clip.
I, too, already felt things just hearing the song. I knew I wasn't gonna make it without crying, and I indeed didn't. By the time Riley was having her anxiety attack, I was crying along with her.
I have severe anxiety, and have even been sent to the hospital due to a bad anxiety attack. So I can say that they did a great job depicting it in the movie. Symptoms of a bad anxiety attack actually mimic those of a heart attack. I’m on medication now to help calm the anxiety down, especially since I lost my dad almost 2 years ago to Cancer and my anxiety has returned really bad over the last couple months.
I hope we get a 3rd movie with Riley as a young adult
When the intro rolls at 9 minutes, you KNOW it’s going to be a great video
Don't know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but the "roll" signature move is from the older smash bros. Metroid prime's Seamus was a female character, making her the first female main character in a video game, and a common crush for teenagers at the time.
Also, the girls that didn't want to play as a princess finally had a character they could identify with, and the signature move was: ball. Almost completely useless, and a hindrance if you were falling and accidentally hit the special move button, because being in a ball made you fall faster. And you just wasted all of your special move bar to die faster...
53:43 FINALLY getting to watch this, as this premiered in my country just a couple of days ago. I think it's Joy and other emotions that have been indeed sending bad stuff for a while, and they just tell audience about it, because it is a new cool feature. I think the fact that Joy didn't realise how much stuff she sent back there is because she also forgets it, because that's the point. This is also what happens in therapy and many other settings when you're like "I have completely forgotten about this horrible thing", yet you have all kinds of traumas and phobias going on and you don't even know why. It's exactly what's happening. Riley can't send them back "herself" because Joy is also "herself"
ben getting better with reviews! love the inputs
41:10 Okay this might be because I’m spiritual but the part where Joy is sending ultra positive projections reminded me of how manifesting and being radically positive sometimes did help pull me out of Anxiety! But again the film emphasizes balance
when yhe puberty alarm started going off and the demo crew came in my 4 year old asked why they were destroying everything. i said its because when you're a teenager your brain gets all mixed up.
Got to admit, my expectations were low going into this movie, considering a lot of Disney's movies haven't really been delivering lately, and because the original inside Out is among my favorites in all of Pixar so I didn't expect them to do justice to the original. But they pulled it off and they pulled it off in spades. There's a lot of moments that hurt me to watch and not because they were bad but because I could feel it especially as someone who is fresh out of puberty. I have my first anxiety attack a few years ago and watching Riley have hers brought me back to that. I also loved how Anxiety, while technically the main antagonist, never had bad intentions. She truly wanted to help Riley, just didn't have the best means a lot of the time. You can tell by the look on her face when Riley gets her new sense of self of "I'm not good enough" that that's not what she wanted. Plus I got to say, hearing that ring out hit a little too close to home because that it has been my sense of self for a third of my life. All in all I thought the movie was fantastic and I can only hope that Disney and Pixar can bring back this quality with later movies
The mustache needs a name! Its hands down the best thing to happen to this channel since Inside Out 1.
HEY BROTHER!! i loved inside out!!
