I like how Inside Out portrays emotions. Like that one scene where Embarrassment hides Sadness is a VERY important detail. When some children grow up, they believe it's embarrassing to cry so they try to hide it.
I caught that , and I love that they included this! I have a narcissistic father, I’m 25 now but was shamed for crying as a little little kid, I.e don’t be a baby, grow up, stop crying, toughen up, get over it etc. So from ages 5-17 I didn’t cry. Like my mom would even brag about it and tell my friends, and family. I thought I was a strong cookie for not crying and keeping things to myself, and had to learn to be strong enough to cry if I need to, and to speak up when I feel hurt by someone. It takes guts to be able to express yourself
Anxiety turning Riley's Imagination Land into an animation sweatshop where joy isn't allowed is such a corporate clapback that I'm so glad Disney didn't remove.
@@irkenpony17well the fact WDAS and Pixar are currently known for overworking their animators, it's surprising there hasn't been any news that they tried
@@irkenpony17 nah, but you'd think a corporation who's been quietly trying to kill animation by cancelling shows, cracking down on union efforts, and moving to replace it's animators with AI would try to intervene and remove a scene that not so subtly criticizes their business practices.
@@andalilbitqueer Was there any proof that Disney was using ai beside the fans using it as a insult to describe movies that is not to their liking from their nostalgia blinded opinions. Why would Disney a company famous animation would use ai. Animators were the foundation of the company. Would you rather do overtime or be jobless.
I'm glad they didn't just make Anxiety a villain. She's like Joy in the first movie. She means well, but needs to learn how to let go and let the others do their thing. And I think this movie depicts that beautifully.
And it was Joy who was able to reach out to Anxiety to get her and Riley out of her attack because she made the same mistake before trying to keep Sadness away.
I gasped when Anxiety's version of Riley's "sense of self" finally formed and said "I'm not good enough" 😢 It made so much sense since it was made purely from anxious emotions
What really got me was how Anxiety reacted to it. Up to that point Anxiety thought that what she was doing to Riley would help her in the long run, but when Riley’s sense of self formed she immediately realised that what she had done to her only made things worse.
The anxiety attack scene in Inside Out 2 really hit home for me. It brought me back to high school, during the state championship for football. We were losing, and I had an anxiety attack, because I thought the problem was me. My dad stepped in and helped calm me down, while I was being benched but we still lost that day. The scene captured that overwhelming feeling so perfectly.
I didn't really resonate with the scene because I've never had anything that extreme, but still good to know a movie can resonate that deep with its audience
@@SmilingArcticWolf-zb6md Thank God it's about to beat that abomination of an so called animated The Non-Expressive Was Better In 2D Animation Should Never Have Been A Remake, And Is Now Getting A Prequel That Basically Shits On The Original King
I like that Joy actually respects Sadness now in the sequel, and appreciates her input, it shows she’s grown from the first movie instead of just repeating they’re relationship from the first movie which is something you should never do for a sequel
Me too! That moment where she briefly stops Sadness when she's about to make Riley cry over her best friends going to a different school, only to tell her to wait till they're out of the car, and then telling her to go ahead when their out of the car and adding "she needs this" is one of my favorite parts of the movie.
Joy may have learned the value of Sadness & her emotional compatriots but she was still a control freak who wanted mold Riley into who she thought Riley should be.
The intro to Anxiety with Boom saying "i know who steered. my ship, THAT mother fucker" is so real- 😭 My anxiety took over oddly in senior year to current day, pretty sure it use to be sadness.
And it was a parallel to her parents hugging her when she was having a sad meltdown when she got home and learned that it’s okay to be sad now that she can control her Sadness.
It's amazing how every single thing that happens in Riley's mind is a metaphor, even small things, like how joy of all emotions is the one that has figurine of Bigbong next to her bed, technically keeping him alive in Riley's mind
Small moment, but Riley lightly hitting her head on her hockey stick was the moment I started crying when I first watched the movie, like couldn't believe they were able to put a depiction of self-harm, no matter how small it was, in the movie.
Also during that moment is when they employ the “dolly zoom” effect. This is a technique used in live action a lot but most famously in Vertigo. I would assume pulling it off in animation is more difficult than live action.
alright no offense but now we are stretching it's a normal human thing to hit yourself when your did something wrong or dumb such as slapping your head
Ye I think it is hard although I'm pretty sure it's a bit easier in 3d animation, since it's essentially having the models and placing a camera in the scene, as opposed to 2d animation where you would need to draw each part of the scene turning, in 3d your just moving the camera and also moving the focus of the shot.... Cause otherwise the character would be still obviously lol@@AnimationNation2004
@@vernessawashington9007 It is...but doing so during a panic attack when your sense of self is telling you you aren't good enough, you're worthless, you'll be alone...that's different from just slapping your forehead and going "doi, I can't believe i did that!" This does feel more...in line with self harm. It's a long way from what it could be, but it feels like the same type as when I hurt myself because, in that moment, I hate myself, and can't love myself. That's also something fairly taboo in a lot of family-friendly media.
fun fact - the hockey sequence at the end was the first time Joy had been in control for the entire movie, and when she finally does it's beautiful. I think it's subtly hinting that she WAS right that you feel less joy as you grow up, but that it's still completely worth it.
No wonder this movie reached a billion dollars because it is an excellent, emotional follow-up to the first movie. I truly loved how they depicted Anxiety since even though she is the main antagonist, she still wants what is best for Riley, just like Joy did in the first movie without realising how much she was shutting out other essential emotions and hurting Riley. I also appreciate how they made Riley more of a relatable character while simultaneously following her feelings and learning that they don't control who Riley is. I hope they keep exploring new emotions in potential future sequels because there is still so much room to explore other potential emotions and relatable stages of life.
20:37 "wouldn't that mean embarrassment would be the leader of this group" You bring up a very subtle design choice. Because during puberty everything you do is embarrassing in hindsight so it makes since he's the biggest
I love how the Inside Out movies teach that all emotions are important and that no emotion is inherently bad but having excessive amounts of just one emotion can lead to unhealthy consequences. Like Joy only wanting Riley to be happy in the first movie and not letting her process other emotions and Anxiety in this one. She just wanted to help but her overwhelming Riley with so much pressure lead to unhealthy consequences
Love the symbolism this movie represents. Shows how you don't have to be just one thing. I have a niece who's mom tells her stuff like "you're not good enough" all the time. But i tell her how she has come farther than anyone around her has, including her mother, and that she is more than enough. Btw keep up the great reactions guys!
If I heard that stuff I don't think I could stop myself from making passive-aggressive remarks like "Looks like someone's going to the cut-rate retirement home" or "you really don't want to meet your future grandkids at all, do you?"
This movie is so good. Anxiety being an antagonist and not a villain was good, the humor was fun and though it didn't make me an emotional wreck like the first one I still got hit in the feels
In Inside Out 1, Joy cried, Sadness experienced moments of happiness and both Joy and Sadness were afraid of things. Riley's parents' emotions worked as a cohesive team.
I didn't see it in the reaction but I think I saw a little Bing Bong figure in the emotions bedroom when I went to watch the movie in cinemas, I think it was in Joy's area. I could also be misremembering as it's been a while since I went to see it lol
@@StarMan881Gaming That may be. That would be nice. But he's been forgotten by *Riley*, not by Joy. I don't think she'll ever forget. But that also raises an interesting question about the retained memories of emotional beings and how they differ from the retained memories of the girl they are steering.
When the core belief became I'm not good enough... That hit me right in the gut. I have diagnosed anxiety and this was something that really drove it. As my therapist once told me 'Anxiety can be helpful but they can also be a huge bully'.
Literally For the last 35 minutes after The new Sense of Self was Made and heard that “I’m not good enough” for the first time I was crying until the end of the movie and all the way home. I’m still torn over it
currently Inside Out 2's 34.4 million away from being the highest grossing animated film of all time, just behind The Lion King (2019); still hoping it reaches the milestone, but all my hopes rest with Japan.
As someone who struggles with anxiety I can’t even begin to express how accurate the anxiety attack scene was and how accurate that was depicted. Beautifully done.
One thing i hope for if this becomes a Trilogy, is that once Riley reaches adulthood, she’s gonna wanna be an astronaut. All to honor Bingbong. And there is potential for it too cause in the Future career parade, one of those balloons were actually an astronaut one
Imagine over time she loves hockey less and less and while her parents are all for hockey scholarship to collage she’s been forcing herself to like it because it’s been such a huge part of her life
20:25 I've always seen it as: as you get older, your emotions become more nuanced, adding more under the umbrella of a "base" emotion like joy or sadness. It also helps explain why the Mom's mind is seemingly helmed by Sadness and the Dad's by Anger; it's not the base feeling we would inherently ascribe to that emotion, it's a more subtle variation that would fall under that emotional umbrella. And, of course, these nuances under an emotional umbrella can be positive or negative, especially when you delve into extremes. I'm no expert on anything on how the mind works, this is just how I see things, so take this with a grain of salt
Anxiety steering the ship hit so close to home for me. The anxiety/panic attack felt so real. Anxiety in my brain always seems to be in the tornado portrayed here. To the point where I am on medication for it. But also the massage chair thing at the end was so good at representing using the tools that my counsellor has taught me, breathing, meditation, safe space and so on. As much as I connected to the first film, this one made me feel so seen.
I loved how it showed that someone’s beliefs and sense of self can override all other emotions a make people act on who they are. But also that is a certain emotion is too strong, it can make you ignore who you really are.
I love that a movie, where a group of artists united to stop unjust treatment, released in 2024 likely to be one of the most consequential years in the entire history of the Animation industry. #StandWithAnimation One fact about the scene I also love is that 87, the first of the animators who stand against Anxiety, is designed based off of Ralph Eggleston, the oscar-winning Pixar animator who died in 2022 from pancreatic cancer; and who's work spanned from the first Toy Story to Soul.
I loved loved LOVED the way they portrayed the panic attack with Anxiety in her head literally spiraling around the console. Also I had to stop myself from crying in the theater when anxiety shed a tear 🫠
I always imagine that the emotions maturing is meant to reflect Riley's age! Like, when Riley is a child, anger is just pure and simple anger. But as she grows, it includes being competitive. I think the ultimate version of Anger might also cover things like being protective of others (hence why Riley's father's lead emotion is Anger). Similarly, I imagine Sadness can evolve to cover being empathetic, which is why it is her mother's leading emotion.
The ending is a good example of how to listen to your body. Her body/inner self asked for joy. Not forcing it, but listening to what what wants to arise. I love that. Other things are not so well portrayed in this one, like envy or the panic attack. But still...a good movie and av great conversation starter
19:23 I just realized that it says his name on the inside of the hat because in the last movie he and someone else were arguing because they couldn’t tell whose hat was whose. 😂
I have almost 30 years old..and I was diagnosed with ASD last year…and sometimes that causes my anxiety to rise a little whenever I feel stressed when I’m at work. But this movie has taught me that I need to keep my anxiety under control and stay calm.
I gave myself bangs near the end of lockdown and literally never regretted it they looked awesome. (The trick to cutting your own hair is you have to be confident enough to shave your whole head-that way you always have a backup if things turn out bad. If you’re not prepared to rock the shaved head look you’re likely better off going to a professional.)
20:12 Ever since the first movie, Joy has had a tendency to represent toxic positivity, not letting emotions play out as they should in favor of keeping things fun and light.
The first one feels more for kids, teens, and adults understanding while the second one I feel like it hits more for teens and adults. Love the first one but this one hits harder for me especially when Anxiety made Riley say “I’m not good enough”. I’m a father and a husband and I’m usually a positive person, but deep down that’s what scares me the most once in a while. Also, yeah man that Bing Bong scene from the first one always makes me cry regardless how many times I see it 😭
The emotions in inside out aren’t always just being the emotion they are labeled as, that’s just the main emotion they are and the emotion they make Riley express.
Among other things like this movie hitting home for so many people, here's what I love about this movie. Riley is a flawed character. And that is the point. Speaking as a woman, in the modern day media where the overwhelming amount of high budget movies show female protagonists as these perfect beacons who their issue isn't that they need to grow, it's that society needs to recognize them, this was such a refreshing change of pace. And more to the point, while Riley is making the wrong choices, even if you took the emotions' driving things out of it, you understand why she is making every choice. And the point of the movie is for her to grow and learn from her mistakes. Her flaws don't make her a bad person, they make her a normal human being. WHAT A CONCEPT!!!!
I'm not ashamed of how much I cried when I watched this. I was going through a horrible breakup at the time and hearing Riley say "I'm not good enough" broke me even further. 😢 I love these characters so much.
The characterization of Anxiety is accurate, the unknown is too much so what soothes anxiety is information. Thats why Anxiety knows so much about the othet emotions.
@@osito1329 Honestly, celebrities are so petty when it comes to pay rates - they remind me of Dudley Dursley whinging that he got 36 presents instead of (at least) 37.
Anxiety is one of the most difficult things to experience, and I'm sure everyone will get through it. But I'm glad that they made a sequel to Inside Out, or else it'll just end... like very sad.
I'm so happy I got to see this movie in theaters. It was easily the best movie I have ever seen on the big screen. Once the credits started rolling, the entire theater started to cheer.
All of it hit so close to home, I struggle a lot with my anxiety, along with the way embarrassment hid sadness, it was way too relatable, I’ve been shamed in the past for crying and as soon as I realised that I was shocked
This movie is crafted beautifully. I have so many things to say, but one detail I really like is how when Anxiety goes down and plants one of her memory orbs the sentences starts with "if", that's basically how thoughts of Anxiety are. Not really factual, just alot of "Ifs", for example, "If I'm good at hockey they'll like me." "If I'm popular I'll have friends." "If I fit in I won't be bullied." Etc.
This is one of the best sequels ever. It's set in puberty, but I'm 48 years old and this depiction of anxiety is the most seriously real thing I've ever seen. And I think one the best parts is how they depict it is that anxiety suppresses joy.
I love how they portray anxiety since it's not really seen as a good thing when anxiety can be great in small doses but too much can lead to anxiety attacks and feeling like you aren't good enough
Riley already experienced losing her friends once after she moved to San Francisco... Grace and Bree still would be together and she's left alone so it makes sense for anxiety to kick in 19:22 also I really appreciate the my hat comeback🤣
when you said 'i wonder who else is down there (with nostalgia)' it made me wonder maybe 'regret; is down there with her? and potentially grateful or appreciation? and maybe also grief/loss? because those tend to be some of the main emotions that accompany your thoughts when you're feeling nostalgic and look back at ur memories/the choices u've made over time.
I honestly feel really bad for Anxiety, just imagine having no choice but to feel and make others feel anxious all the time. At least with the others feeling their emotion all the time wouldn’t be as grueling.
The reason why Anxiety know so much is probably because she is a big fan of the principal emotions and some console colors were her's and she was just not present.
1:44 Anyone else gets Anxiety from what’s behind Sean.this is an illusion from the camera.I feel as if it’s going to smack or hit the back of his head on him one day or near the face,or fall on him. If he decides to stretch his hands in the back by accident forgetting there something behind him, It will hit his hand, arm or both. I really wish they would move what looks like a saber somewhere not near the chairs behind somebody.😅
Ok I just gotta say that nostalgia getting locked up until Riley's in her 20s is NOT how things went in my brain. My ass was getting nostalgic for old Minecraft TH-cam videos when I was 16 lmao
This movie is so tense, we can't really relate to being chased by a 100 meter tall monster and saving the world, but most of us can relate really hard to being in a place we aren't supposed to and fearing that we will get on massive trouble if we are found out.
When I watched this film with my mother in the cinema, I was really amazed that Inside Out 2 spiced up this film of teenage angst that was relatable to my life in high school, this film cleared my mind and warmed my heart by fulfilling the emotional quotient of its predecessor
I like how Inside Out portrays emotions. Like that one scene where Embarrassment hides Sadness is a VERY important detail. When some children grow up, they believe it's embarrassing to cry so they try to hide it.

Imagine over time she loves hockey less and less and while her parents are all for hockey scholarship to collage she’s been forcing herself to like it because it’s been such a huge part of her life
20:25 I've always seen it as: as you get older, your emotions become more nuanced, adding more under the umbrella of a "base" emotion like joy or sadness. It also helps explain why the Mom's mind is seemingly helmed by Sadness and the Dad's by Anger; it's not the base feeling we would inherently ascribe to that emotion, it's a more subtle variation that would fall under that emotional umbrella. And, of course, these nuances under an emotional umbrella can be positive or negative, especially when you delve into extremes. I'm no expert on anything on how the mind works, this is just how I see things, so take this with a grain of salt
Man I was sitting in the theater alone, and got major second-hand embarrassment from watching riley.
That means the film did it well
I was shrieking internally. Hardcore I had the thousand yard stare
I watched it on my phone and had to pause it and take a break at parts from how embarrassing Riley was at some parts
Anxiety steering the ship hit so close to home for me. The anxiety/panic attack felt so real. Anxiety in my brain always seems to be in the tornado portrayed here. To the point where I am on medication for it. But also the massage chair thing at the end was so good at representing using the tools that my counsellor has taught me, breathing, meditation, safe space and so on. As much as I connected to the first film, this one made me feel so seen.
I loved how it showed that someone’s beliefs and sense of self can override all other emotions a make people act on who they are. But also that is a certain emotion is too strong, it can make you ignore who you really are.
I love that a movie, where a group of artists united to stop unjust treatment, released in 2024 likely to be one of the most consequential years in the entire history of the Animation industry. #StandWithAnimation
One fact about the scene I also love is that 87, the first of the animators who stand against Anxiety, is designed based off of Ralph Eggleston, the oscar-winning Pixar animator who died in 2022 from pancreatic cancer; and who's work spanned from the first Toy Story to Soul.
I loved loved LOVED the way they portrayed the panic attack with Anxiety in her head literally spiraling around the console. Also I had to stop myself from crying in the theater when anxiety shed a tear 🫠
I died laughing when anger when elbow deep into pouchy’s throat
14:46 Riley's dad's inner emotion people also don't have the same hair. Guessing whatever the reason is, she gets it from the dad.
I always imagine that the emotions maturing is meant to reflect Riley's age! Like, when Riley is a child, anger is just pure and simple anger. But as she grows, it includes being competitive. I think the ultimate version of Anger might also cover things like being protective of others (hence why Riley's father's lead emotion is Anger). Similarly, I imagine Sadness can evolve to cover being empathetic, which is why it is her mother's leading emotion.
The ending is a good example of how to listen to your body. Her body/inner self asked for joy. Not forcing it, but listening to what what wants to arise. I love that.
Other things are not so well portrayed in this one, like envy or the panic attack. But still...a good movie and av great conversation starter
19:23 I just realized that it says his name on the inside of the hat because in the last movie he and someone else were arguing because they couldn’t tell whose hat was whose. 😂
17:10 I love how everywhere I go, everyone got an extreme reaction to this scene in particular, and yours was the most extreme one
36:30 somehow I never put together the “wave of repressed emotions” thing. That’s brilliant.
@@ThePonderer or open the floodgates of bad memories after you did something bad when you thought that you were good most of the time.
I have almost 30 years old..and I was diagnosed with ASD last year…and sometimes that causes my anxiety to rise a little whenever I feel stressed when I’m at work.
But this movie has taught me that I need to keep my anxiety under control and stay calm.
Inside Out 2 has that Pixar tradition of making my dumb 34 year old ass cry. It's easily my top 3 movies.
“There’s a reason why I’m happy all the time” was lowkey haunting what has mans seen
I gave myself bangs near the end of lockdown and literally never regretted it they looked awesome.
(The trick to cutting your own hair is you have to be confident enough to shave your whole head-that way you always have a backup if things turn out bad. If you’re not prepared to rock the shaved head look you’re likely better off going to a professional.)
20:12 Ever since the first movie, Joy has had a tendency to represent toxic positivity, not letting emotions play out as they should in favor of keeping things fun and light.
The first one feels more for kids, teens, and adults understanding while the second one I feel like it hits more for teens and adults. Love the first one but this one hits harder for me especially when Anxiety made Riley say “I’m not good enough”. I’m a father and a husband and I’m usually a positive person, but deep down that’s what scares me the most once in a while.
Also, yeah man that Bing Bong scene from the first one always makes me cry regardless how many times I see it 😭
26:26 We all feel like Joy, losing our patience with everyone when they only complain 😂😂
Literally
Every mom with Toddlers in the mini van in traffic.
The emotions in inside out aren’t always just being the emotion they are labeled as, that’s just the main emotion they are and the emotion they make Riley express.
6:20 It was red and purple. They look similar enough that it's hard to tell, but that was not a new color.
Among other things like this movie hitting home for so many people, here's what I love about this movie. Riley is a flawed character. And that is the point.
Speaking as a woman, in the modern day media where the overwhelming amount of high budget movies show female protagonists as these perfect beacons who their issue isn't that they need to grow, it's that society needs to recognize them, this was such a refreshing change of pace.
And more to the point, while Riley is making the wrong choices, even if you took the emotions' driving things out of it, you understand why she is making every choice. And the point of the movie is for her to grow and learn from her mistakes. Her flaws don't make her a bad person, they make her a normal human being. WHAT A CONCEPT!!!!
This movie was a much needed pixar w. I’m not going to say pixar is certainly so fucking back, but it bodes well.
Indeed
Anxiety isn’t a villain but an antagonist, thats a nice change
I like how Joy shows that sometimes when we get older, we aren’t as happy anymore
I'm not ashamed of how much I cried when I watched this. I was going through a horrible breakup at the time and hearing Riley say "I'm not good enough" broke me even further. 😢 I love these characters so much.
10:14 at this prart theres a bing bong figure so they did not forget about him
Damn it, even thou these are clips and not the full movie I can still feel the emotion , well done Pixar well done !
39:50.. Dude, right? I watched this one last night, fresh off the back of 200 hours of Elden Ring + DLC. A totally different kind of stress.
The characterization of Anxiety is accurate, the unknown is too much so what soothes anxiety is information. Thats why Anxiety knows so much about the othet emotions.
Disgust and Fear got different voice actors because despite offering them 100K, Amy Poehler (Joy) got paid 5 million.
@@osito1329 Honestly, celebrities are so petty when it comes to pay rates - they remind me of Dudley Dursley whinging that he got 36 presents instead of (at least) 37.
"Wave of emotions." I never thought of that my first watch.
21:54
The most emotional moment of the movie it really speaks to the soul
…………………………….
There's a little bing bong in Joy's sleeping quarter! I saw it and it made me so happy!
Anxiety is one of the most difficult things to experience, and I'm sure everyone will get through it.
But I'm glad that they made a sequel to Inside Out, or else it'll just end... like very sad.
I'm so happy I got to see this movie in theaters. It was easily the best movie I have ever seen on the big screen. Once the credits started rolling, the entire theater started to cheer.
inside out 2 is a perfect sequel
All of it hit so close to home, I struggle a lot with my anxiety, along with the way embarrassment hid sadness, it was way too relatable, I’ve been shamed in the past for crying and as soon as I realised that I was shocked
Ready to cry today with the boys Billy? 💜
On the side of joys bed you can see a figurine of bing bong!
This movie is crafted beautifully. I have so many things to say, but one detail I really like is how when Anxiety goes down and plants one of her memory orbs the sentences starts with "if", that's basically how thoughts of Anxiety are. Not really factual, just alot of "Ifs", for example, "If I'm good at hockey they'll like me." "If I'm popular I'll have friends." "If I fit in I won't be bullied." Etc.
This is one of the best sequels ever. It's set in puberty, but I'm 48 years old and this depiction of anxiety is the most seriously real thing I've ever seen. And I think one the best parts is how they depict it is that anxiety suppresses joy.
First movie: “Sadness, Riley needs you.”
Second movie: “Joy, Riley wants you.” 😭
As someone who's been anxious their entire life, this movie really hit close to home. I wish I had something like this to watch when I was young.
I love how they portray anxiety since it's not really seen as a good thing when anxiety can be great in small doses but too much can lead to anxiety attacks and feeling like you aren't good enough
Riley already experienced losing her friends once after she moved to San Francisco... Grace and Bree still would be together and she's left alone so it makes sense for anxiety to kick in
19:22 also I really appreciate the my hat comeback🤣
when you said 'i wonder who else is down there (with nostalgia)' it made me wonder maybe 'regret; is down there with her? and potentially grateful or appreciation? and maybe also grief/loss? because those tend to be some of the main emotions that accompany your thoughts when you're feeling nostalgic and look back at ur memories/the choices u've made over time.
damnnnn, it's been less than a day since this dropped on Patreon, I respect the grind.
Best video introduction yet
Fantastic sequel! I hope they are gonna make more parts
I honestly feel really bad for Anxiety, just imagine having no choice but to feel and make others feel anxious all the time. At least with the others feeling their emotion all the time wouldn’t be as grueling.
No, the emotions don’t really control Riley. They’re just a representation of what’s going on in her head
17:12 SHE JUST YOINKED HER SENSE OF SELF😭😂
The reason why Anxiety know so much is probably because she is a big fan of the principal emotions and some console colors were her's and she was just not present.
I love how into the movie you guys get
"I'm starting to think Pouchy might be a---" *Cut*
I caught that too 😂😂😂
Anxiety attack sequence woke me the hell up
honoring bingbong? he faded, meaning she no longer has any form of memory of him.
Just noticed it the back wall slowly getting more collectibles? I love it
Really glad to have checked out this sequel in the cinema. It was fun and emotional, as expected.
That cartoonish character is literally talking to the walk in which means, he is breaking the 4th wall...
1:44 Anyone else gets Anxiety from what’s behind Sean.this is an illusion from the camera.I feel as if it’s going to smack or hit the back of his head on him one day or near the face,or fall on him. If he decides to stretch his hands in the back by accident forgetting there something behind him, It will hit his hand, arm or both. I really wish they would move what looks like a saber somewhere not near the chairs behind somebody.😅
1:19
"men are able to have complex emotion"
two seconds later
"YEAH, SPOOOOOORTS!!!!!!"
If you look closely at Joy's night stand when their sleeping before the Puberty alarm goes off, you can see a replica of Bing-Bong
Ok I just gotta say that nostalgia getting locked up until Riley's in her 20s is NOT how things went in my brain. My ass was getting nostalgic for old Minecraft TH-cam videos when I was 16 lmao
This movie is so tense, we can't really relate to being chased by a 100 meter tall monster and saving the world, but most of us can relate really hard to being in a place we aren't supposed to and fearing that we will get on massive trouble if we are found out.
When I watched this film with my mother in the cinema, I was really amazed that Inside Out 2 spiced up this film of teenage angst that was relatable to my life in high school, this film cleared my mind and warmed my heart by fulfilling the emotional quotient of its predecessor
This movie broke me in theatres! I cried SO much! It's SO SO good. Glad you guys enjoyed it :D
14:51 Maybe this is a foreshadowing of how insanely emotionally intelligent she will be
