As someone who grew up in an environment where I had to be "Happy" "Joyful" and "Quiet" for 98% of my childhood, it was great learning the message that it's okay not to be okay.
As with her first Inside Out review, Grace is really telling us more about herself than the film - the philosophies she agrees with and doesn't, the emotions she relates to versus the ones she's not interested in.
I'll be honest grace. I think u are looking wayyy too deep into this..and they didn't demonize anxiety..but anxiety that's not kept in control can lead into problems
I also think her point about different emotions like Hope and Love is 1. too ambitious (the creators have already said there was originally more characters but they needed to simplify) 2. I think those elements are represented in the existing emotions. I think all the emotions convey those elements which is quite clever. I think some people get mixed up with emotions and feelings. To me hope and love are goals and feelings, not overall emotions. You can say I feel happy today, but not in love all day?
I don’t think you know what Anxiety really is, the darkest moments in my life are because of “her” seeing the movie, literally I see how it feels when you let your anxiety control you and how you learn to control those attacks because you need all your strengths to get out of there.
Well yes and no. I have anxiety and I've learned I don't have to control it, but to feel it. Is just like sadness because is there for a reason. Is not easy but is best to feel it before it gets to an anxiety attack.It's been one of my darkest moments too but it has also taught me a lot. From putting boundaries to speak out more my feelings and needs. Just like in the movie, anxiety is there to protect me, just that it sometimes goes way overboard.
THIS. I, like Riley, had to choose joy, because at the end of the day, all anxiety tells me is I’m not good enough 😭 she’s not helpful. She’s a freaking panic attack. Planning is entirely different than anxiously obsessing over an outcome
The primary and complex emotions are taken from psychological theory - specifically Robert Plutchik. Were the primary emotions were joy, trust, excitement, anger, sadness, surprise, disgust and fear. They could combine to create more complex secondary emotions. Joy and trust combines to make love. Anger and sadness makes envy. Fear and disgust makes shame.
I think the idea is that in real life, anxiety serves a function. It gives us adrenaline, makes us super alert and stronger in brief spurts. The problem is that it has to go away for us to rest and relax. If anxiety takes over, it weakens us because we cant stay in that state.
Grace, I hope this movie helped you realize that ignoring your emotions isn’t healthy. Even if you don’t like to talk about them, it’s important to acknowledge them.

I grew up in an enviroment where I had no one to talk to, I had to figure out my emotions (and emotions of others, even towards me) all by myself, and let me tell you Grace, love comes later, much later, self love and love for others in theses cases. Maybe that's Riley.
Life is hard. Not everyone has a good support system. I feel as it’s not always sunshine and rainbows. Some people who might come off as negative might be perceived as negative when they might just being honest
The movies are saying that you need other emotions besides joy not that you should never have joy that’s why she’s is still there but it’s okay to feel sad and angry. It’s something I heard when I was mourning my grandfather I don’t understand why Grace has a problem with it
having seen the movie, i have genuinely no idea what grace is talking about in regards to her behaviour and almost getting people killed and all that shit
I kind of think that "Anxiety" here is to a large extent actually "Excitement". Which is why Grace likes her. We can't really re-write the whole premise of the franchise, but this makes the point that a lot of these emotions are multi-faceted, and some of those are good or bad in different measures.
I fully believe Grace was never a teenager 😂 I’m very open person and when I’m straggling I reach out for help when I needed, but when I was a teen I was closed in and never spoke about my feelings, which majority of teenagers do! But hey, what do I know
The parents were literally in the car with her when she got told her friends were gonna go to a different school and nothing happened, there's nothing suggesting that the coach talked to her about what happened on the ice which was pretty serious. At least in the first film we see that when Riley goes back home and tells her parents, she can show and share her sadness and make her feel better. Because a film about the mind, emotional issues etc. should at least show something about communicating how you feel more than just saying "sorry, I was a selfish jerk because I was afraid".
Haven't watched the film but anxiety and envy leading to ambition makes sense. Envy being curious/jealous of others when paired with anxiety brings action towards ambition
As a doctor in clinical psychology, it is a poor approach to divide emotions into negative and positive. All emotions are important and serve a function. By classifying some emotions as negative is reductive and make people believe that they shouldn't be experiencing them. Resilience and coping are very important skills for all people to learn.
@@fezenstein it did demonise sadness by basically being the debby downer and caused havoc in riley's mind. she was the catalyst of Riley's problems, so i am not sure you didnt see sadness being demonised ?
@@Drprinceshakespear in the first film. sadness was being sadness, joy demonized her, Reilly needed to feel sadness bc it’s a real emotion that is needed, not tossed aside. Joy (much like anxiety) is protective and has to maintain a level of delusion, one of the pts of the first film was joy realizing that sadness is needed, and important.
@@Drprinceshakespearthe film doesn't demonize Sadnass, Joy did, and what caused havoc was Joy not allowing Riley to feel sad and process the mourning she felt over moving away. The end conclusion clearly showed how Sadnass was important and needed and beneficial.
The emotions are just emotions they are not negative just because they aren’t joy that was the entire point of sadness in the first movie (the seemingly most negative of the bunch) being an essential emotion for Riley’s happiness making her a “positive” emotion regardless of the negative connotation
I dunno, I gotta disagree about the film is saying about anxiety. The character and the emotion. Speaking as a person who has dealt with a thick layer of anxiety on just about every desirable interaction I have, what I got from the film is feelings of anxiety may lead you to making poor choices in order to please people or even to please yourself. Anxiety is basically a kind of hyperfocused worry. While it can help you have some foresight into your behavior, sometimes it leads to constantly trying to modify your actions and snuff out any possibility of ending up with an undesirable outcome. This film does a fantastic job of showing this because as Riley starts experiencing higher social stakes, she begin to doubt herself. Being just happy or just fearful just doesn't cut it anymore. She is clearly a very confident and successful young woman until she finds herself feeling like she doesn't measure up to a new, more mature friend group. Anxiety takes it upon herself to take over as leader, which, with help from some of the other emotions, begins to have success. But the problem with anxiety is it slowly begins to erode your sense of self worth, especially you can't confirm whether it's working. If you ask a reasonable person if they're willing to do ANYTHING to have that thing/person/feeling, they would likely say no but unfortunately, not everyone is like that. She abandons her true friends, she lies about what she loves to look cool all because her anxiety is whipping her up into a frenzy. I don't wanna spoil anything but the last bit that happens with Anxiety, when I saw that I said, that is EXACTLY how anxiety feels. You become obsessed with getting everything perfect and even when you perform well, you start feeling as if you NEED that thing to feel good about yourself, rather than being internally validated. And honestly, everyone feels it from time to time but not everyone knows what it's like to be in full on panic mode. It literally takes over your mind and executive function. And in the end, the best thing you can do is learn how to accept that you can't control everything no matter how badly you may want to. I also felt the movie is trying to say that we are all a bit messy, especially when we are young and unequipped for a situation and sometimes, we can be selfish, mean spirited, short tempered or insensitive and we can still be a good person. Every part of us makes us who we are, warts and all. For me, I think the people showed the enigma of emotions impeccably. The creative team did their homework on this one. Big thumbs up for me.
I never read the first film as saying any emotion was good or bad, rather it criticised that exact interpretation. Sadness is important and not a bad emotion but Joy was just overrunning the place, and trying ot stop Riley form feeling anything but Joy. Particular in America where whole 'pursuit of happiness' is sometimes take to extremes, it was and is an important lesson to realise you cant just be happy, you need to be sad as well, and in fact being sad makes you appreciate being happy a lot more.
That's the point of Anxiety, it FEELS bad but its purpose is to keep you safe and it's best to make friends with Anxiety and from calm your Anxiety by letting it know that you are not in danger when it thinks you are.
I think it displayed a 12-14 year old's mind pretty accurately. Those other emotions that you mention have not appeared explicilty yet because Riley is not there in her life. This was about the first months of puberty that are emotionally overwhelming. Now, I do think they missed an opportunity by not showing these other emotions in the parents. I think that would have been brilliant, but maybe too complicated for a family film.
I understand the conclusion of the film as anxiety realising that when took over Riley’s mind, it was too much - the intent of protecting her in the interest of self preservation was what drove anxiety, and we see her be used in a much more constructive way at the end after we see the effects of when anxiety takes hold in an extreme way .. perhaps in inside out 3, they could introduce those emotions you mentioned; ambition, love etc, which are much more prominent once you’re through with being completely in your head as a teenager. Hope you’re well grace ! Great review x
I would love to see the emotions “power up” too stronger emotions like sadness goes out of control and transforms into depression or anger into fury joy into euphoria disgust as idk hatred fear into phobia
In order to become ambitious you need to overcome anxiety, frustration and hardship and use motivation coming from sources like envy and jealousy to reach next milestones. So I'm okay with that. It's not always inspiration that brings the best out of others. Chip on your shoulders for most of us. Ask Jordan
I feel like one of the things these movies do best is portray that "lead emotions" tend to be unreliable narrators to our own sense of self. Grace recognizes that Anxiety is running the console and that in her story, pairing envy with anxiety have been very helpful to form the ambitious person she's become. However, just like Riley lead emotion Joy (with co-leader sadness) has formed her view of the other emotions as potentially harmful and not as good...I think Anxiety and co-leader envy have colored how Grace sees her other emotions operating...🤷
I can see how Envy leads to Ambition. Like, if you are envious of that shiny new BMW (to a not unreasonable degree), it might inspire you to work hard so that you can afford to buy one for yourself. Or you could just sit around, being bitterly envious.
"These movies want you to know it's okay to feel bad, rather than trying to make you feel good." That's awesome analysis. Though, I don't know that it holds for ALL Pixar movies or all moments in Pixar movies. I think that might be somewhat of the root of why some of us don't alway like Pixar movies as much as the masses.
I understand why some people wouldn’t understand Pixar movies, but I think teaching kids that it’s okay to be sad is important. We shouldn’t pretend to be okay when we’re not, and that’s what this movie is trying to say.
I mean they all cared about Riley and where trying to help her in different way but anxiety was shown in a good and bad light, ofc it’s ok to work hard but not to over do it, but working hard can be good shown in the ending`
I was so happy to see most of the theathers around me packed for this movie. Almost didnt get to watch it! Loved it! It was so much fun watching a movie with a crowd, who was happy to be there. Had been missing that.
I appreciate your honest review Grace, it makes me interested in the film. My only comment is perhaps you’re wanting kids film to give adult nuance and that’s never going to happen. So perhaps it’s unfair to hold it to that standard.
The fact that this movie allows you to say "I love anxiety" is the most amazing, liberating and takes a lot of nerve. Is just a word that we project into, is just as useful as any emotion or mental state. Accept my anxiety is the best thing this movie did for me... maybe any pixar movie
Cause she's a teenager she doesn't have all the other emotions but for the ones you mentioned love is a form of joy everything you mentioned is a form of those emotion for example sassy is a form of sarcasm some emotions are kinda the same thing
I can't wait for Inside Out 3 where Riley has a bi-polar boyfriend and they both have emotions on screen and.... oops script leak. Quick delete this comment before someone takes my ideas.
It makes sense you like ambition Grace as Slytherin is described as people who are ambitious. There is nothing wrong with having ambition it is all about where the individual takes their ambition and if its at the expense of others.
Hi Grace, love your channel. Greetings from Mexico City. I get what you're saying about anxiety. But as a 32 years old asperger person with OCD and anxiety issues, I loved how they portrayed her and gave the solution too. Anxiety is necessary in a person's life. It is there to keep us safe from danger and keep us alert in order to preserve our life. But when it becomes the leading emotion with ultimate power; using your imagination to interpretate reality and other people, and even affecting and distorting your personality and who you thought you have always been; anxiety sucks. She thinks she is protecting and helping you and you are convinced about that also. Therefore, you take her advice in the decisions you make. I relate so much with Riley because I'm a person that doesn't talk or demonstrates the emotions and problems that I'm experiencing. In other words, the first thing I do is to try to solve everything all by myself instead of asking for help. WRONG! Currently I have learned. But in my teenage years that's exactly what I did and my family and friends never knew what I was going through because I was extremely good at acting and masking all that I was feeling. I agree with you that Riley had to have orientation or help from a profesional. But because apparently that mental chaos lasted just 3 days and with this episode in her life she learns (or her emotions learn) that emotions does not define you and also to let them happen whitout trying to control them (or keeping them suppressed); I think Pixar did a great job simplifying and exposing the real solution when anxiety takes control over you convinced that she is helping you.
Ive been diagnosed with one of the worst bouts of anxiety any doctor has ever seen. I wont take medicine for it. I havent left my home for anything than walking dogs, and eating and getfing groceries in 9 years. My room mate does most my shopping since im also disabled and not just anxious. Anxiety is not a emotion or a thing it is a choking poison that invades every pore and makes me afraid to even breath. I have no sympathizers or emoathy in my life. I got 13 surgeries a few years ago, gidlfriend left me after a miscarriage, and lost my job and been unable to work or do anythinf or really live. I spemd six hiurs a day in a bathtub. Every day is hell and my anxiety makes it worse, but it isnt anxiety no one cares about me anymore and is just hoping to watch me fade away into nothjngness.
I couldn't chat or leave a comment, I'm a big fan of yours but please please say Aulii Cravahlo name right.. She represents us in Hawaii and it's pronounced Au Lee ee.. She deserved to have her name pronounced accurately
Hehehehehe!! Oh Grace, you’re fantastic. Of course Anxiety is your favorite character! I think they’re all meant to be good, just need balance. I just saw the flick last night (Thailand) and loved it.
I actually remember us having a chat about the first Inside Out film over Skype all the way back in 2015, and neither of us particularly liked the first film haha! Clicked on this video SO fast when I saw it haha, just had to know your thoughts on the second one! I was super lucky and got to see the first 35 minutes of it last week at a special screening in London with Pete Docter, Amy Poehler and director Kelsey Mann, and agree that I was a lot more engaged than the first time around! Looking forward to seeing the rest this weekend! Thanks for all your amazing work Grace 💙
Anxiety being Grace's lead emotions makes a lot of sense! Full of ambition! And I'm not saying that is a bad thing, it would be nice to see in people's heads where Anxiety is in control more or part of the team not locked away.
I find it so interesting because I loved the first film, but I totally understand why someone would have a problem with it. I think it's a movie that has such a controversial take on such an important topic that the message can make you love the movie or hate it. Personally for me, I didn't agree with the message fully, but I understood where it came from, respected it, and loved the movie anyways. Hopefully the same will happen with the sequel
Grace, I think you would benefit from rewatching the film. All of the emotions are helpful, not just joy. In fact, Joy causes Riley to get into trouble and the whole team to run laps. At the end anxiety reminded them of Riley's Spanish test, remember? Lol.
Watched it today and it was brilliant. I just love the worldbuilding of this movie and how they personify/imagine actual psychological concepts. They really expanded from the first movie and made it more sophisticsted. It is such a great movie with laugh out loud moments as well as some very deep meanings.
What d you mean the “good” wreck it ralph?! The first is fantastic, but the sequel just took the characters and story to an entirely different level. It’s so much more emotionally resonant and it actually picks up where the first one leaves off, and tells a completely new story (unlike pixar’s sequels).
I agree, Grace, you basically COULDNT mess up a story about emotions changing during puberty. This was an easy one for Pixar - so to me, this is DEFINATELY NOT the real test for the studio :-)
TBH Pixar world-building has never been very good. And it's why their sequels can be kinda bad. And why they couldn't make a good tv show to save their lives
Fear's the skinny purple guy. I guess one of the perks of the job is that you can justify buying new clothes for every day you're on video. My aunt's sister said she had an outfit for each day she taught at college for a month (20+ weekdays), and they were watching her like a hawk so they could comment when she did a repeat. (I'd still like to see Grace once a year in her thumbnail's blue and white jumpsuit.)
And the thumbnail wait grace hated the first one but that’s crazy I was 15 when the first film came and now with the sequel coming I’m almost 25 my gosh 😭😭😭🥹🥹
Grace, I think it is our own interpretation of what anxiety and envy mean that make them seem like negative emotions. I in particular don't think they are, in Brazil at least being anxious about something can mean being excited and we tell people we have "good" envy about accomplishments or things they own etc. If we go down that route, even joy, wich is sold as something positive can mean bad things, like delusion, recklesness etc. As for hope, I think it would be a mix of anxiety and joy.
Riley's expanded mind area reminded me of Avatar(blue one) alot. Around the ending, it reminded me of what i said before> Everyone has pros and cons of ourselves while some people have more pros/cons than cons/pros of themselves
Good for you Grace. Owning your anxiety and having the courage to be so open and vulnerable with your audience. 100% agree with your read on Disney’s presentation of our emotions. Makes me wanna grab you and give you a huge hug. Huge respect. ❤ :)
9:42 ROOOON!!! My boi, Cooper! Long lost prince of the Funk Trolls! The goofiest pop troll you’ve ever met, and a bit of a fire bug! THE COOPER OF TROLLS, WOOHOO!!! So glad to know that Pixar realized how great a VA he is!
Grace i dont know if you have noticed this but you tend to like a lot of sequels more than their predecessors , I think its hilarious 😂😂😂 P.S. love your videos and livestreams❤❤
I thought Grace said of the original team in _Inside Out,_ "Those are not what my emotions look like!" But I went back to watch her original review of the first movie, and it was before I followed her and not there. Maybe it was an off-hand remark in another video, like the trailer?
I don’t think the new emotions are depicted in a bad light. They are depicted w a touch of reality. She puberty hits - those emotions are hard and take over in a crazy way.
The movies script felt rushed, like there were a lot of logic pitfalls and also so many not used ideas and moments for „puberty hits“ - but it was a pleasant, nice, Cosy movie going evening. It’s pretty obvious also that they will use „love“ in the 3rd movie, which comes out when Riley is 16 …
Anxiety would be the at the helm of my ship too. As someone without a support system really, the negativity didn’t bother me, lol. I loved the first movie.
Grace, same as you did not like the first one. I'll catch this one eventually I guess because I don't even have Disney+ anymore. AT least it appears to be a return to Pixar standards we are used to, even if it's not near the heights they used to reach. Just need a win and I'm sure it'll do well at the box office.
I’m just saying most teenagers do not reach for help by an adult because we feel we can get out of it because we always have. To a certain extent I still have that mindset.
as someone who works with teenagers "needs more adult supervision" is true for a number of kids, sadly the other extreme is also true, boy is balancing life difficult.

Anxiety and Envy do NOT come together and create Ambition.
What I mean is that the actions they make Riley take come across as Ambition.
As someone who grew up in an environment where I had to be "Happy" "Joyful" and "Quiet" for 98% of my childhood, it was great learning the message that it's okay not to be okay.
As with her first Inside Out review, Grace is really telling us more about herself than the film - the philosophies she agrees with and doesn't, the emotions she relates to versus the ones she's not interested in.
I’m 21, but I cannot tell you enough how happy I get when I imagine little colorful beings running my head. It’s just so fun to think about
Been thinking this way since the first movie it’s head canon no pun intended but it helped going through teenage years
Human brains don't FULLY develop until 30 (even 32 for some), whereas the misconception of the age 25 being the end of development.
20 here and you’re a weirdo 😂
... until you watch the movie 😅
I'll be honest grace. I think u are looking wayyy too deep into this..and they didn't demonize anxiety..but anxiety that's not kept in control can lead into problems
Agree!
In fact as someone with anxiety they explained that anxiety is actually beneficial when balanced.
I also think her point about different emotions like Hope and Love is 1. too ambitious (the creators have already said there was originally more characters but they needed to simplify) 2. I think those elements are represented in the existing emotions. I think all the emotions convey those elements which is quite clever. I think some people get mixed up with emotions and feelings.

I don’t think you know what Anxiety really is, the darkest moments in my life are because of “her” seeing the movie, literally I see how it feels when you let your anxiety control you and how you learn to control those attacks because you need all your strengths to get out of there.
My son and I both have anxiety and panic attacks - the panic attack in the film felt incredibly accurate. We both teared up heavily during that scene.
EXACTLY! I don't have Anxiety Attacks, But I Definitely feel Anxiety a lot and This Movie Portrays that Excellently.
Well yes and no. I have anxiety and I've learned I don't have to control it, but to feel it. Is just like sadness because is there for a reason. Is not easy but is best to feel it before it gets to an anxiety attack.It's been one of my darkest moments too but it has also taught me a lot. From putting boundaries to speak out more my feelings and needs. Just like in the movie, anxiety is there to protect me, just that it sometimes goes way overboard.
So well put!
THIS. I, like Riley, had to choose joy, because at the end of the day, all anxiety tells me is I’m not good enough 😭 she’s not helpful. She’s a freaking panic attack. Planning is entirely different than anxiously obsessing over an outcome
It’s a good sign when Grace looks excited in a thumbnail instead of looking like she’s given up on humanity.
“Given up on humanity” IJBOL😂😂😂
I thought the thumbnail was kind of ambiguous.
😂😂😂❤❤❤
It gives me "what is this trash" vibes
Because she didn't like the first one, this being bad is like confirmation that Inside Out is bad
This made me cackle.

@@mirandahallowade true. It’s also your experience
The movies are saying that you need other emotions besides joy not that you should never have joy that’s why she’s is still there but it’s okay to feel sad and angry.
It’s something I heard when I was mourning my grandfather I don’t understand why Grace has a problem with it
This looks to be a much needed win for Pixar
And for theaters after a rough May.
having seen the movie, i have genuinely no idea what grace is talking about in regards to her behaviour and almost getting people killed and all that shit
Literally like huh? 😭
Honestly. Did Grace watch a different version of the movie or something 😅
Yeah, hopefully we get an explanation in the spoiler review.
Nobody found out about the worst thing she did and it wasn’t dangerous.
Yeah Watching This Review it was kind of shocking how much Grace didn't understand This Movie or The First One At All
I think she’s referring to when Riley is getting too rough out on the hockey field and causes her friend to fall from playing so aggressive.
I kind of think that "Anxiety" here is to a large extent actually "Excitement". Which is why Grace likes her.
We can't really re-write the whole premise of the franchise, but this makes the point that a lot of these emotions are multi-faceted, and some of those are good or bad in different measures.
Isn’t the ‘stopping to smell the roses’ and ‘competitive sports’ the same as Lightning McQueen’s arc in Cars haha

Haven't watched the film but anxiety and envy leading to ambition makes sense.
Envy being curious/jealous of others when paired with anxiety brings action towards ambition
Hope is fear and sadness
Bravery is anger and joy
Love depends on what kind of love
Yeah, but I would've preferred finding that out in the Movie, not the review 😒
the character of anxiety was just selfish, as she should be, the conflict in the movie, and its a good one
@@jameswilliams-zr8co having watched it Anxiety was more reactionary than anything. If envy was leading of the group she'd be the selfish one

And Inside Out doesn't do that, it is Grace who understands them that way because our preconceived shorthands for these concepts.
Neither film demonizes any emotions but rather explores the tension between them and how balance is needed.

Every part of us makes us who we are, warts and all. For me, I think the people showed the enigma of emotions impeccably. The creative team did their homework on this one. Big thumbs up for me.
Very well articulated! Thank you
I never read the first film as saying any emotion was good or bad, rather it criticised that exact interpretation. Sadness is important and not a bad emotion but Joy was just overrunning the place, and trying ot stop Riley form feeling anything but Joy. Particular in America where whole 'pursuit of happiness' is sometimes take to extremes, it was and is an important lesson to realise you cant just be happy, you need to be sad as well, and in fact being sad makes you appreciate being happy a lot more.
That's the point of Anxiety, it FEELS bad but its purpose is to keep you safe and it's best to make friends with Anxiety and from calm your Anxiety by letting it know that you are not in danger when it thinks you are.
“Brings a jolt of energy to Ripley’s mind” 😳👽
Ok but can we talk about how good graces hair and outfit looks today?!?? AMAZING!
Riley does one bad thing in the movie and no one ever finds out, why would she get sent to a therapist 😭
Which one is more emotional?
I can see Disney making an inside out ride in Epcot
That would be so cool!
That’s too good of an idea . That’s how I know Disney won’t do it .
Ratatouille style, trackless. Would be great
As long as they use the empty Wonders of Life pavilion and don’t use it to replace Figment.
@@CobraKai63what if they make it an inside out ride FEATURING FIGMENT - since imagination is such a huge part of creativity and the mind
I waited for this movie for more than 3 years. Now it's time to hear Grace's opinion about it.
I think it displayed a 12-14 year old's mind pretty accurately. Those other emotions that you mention have not appeared explicilty yet because Riley is not there in her life. This was about the first months of puberty that are emotionally overwhelming. Now, I do think they missed an opportunity by not showing these other emotions in the parents. I think that would have been brilliant, but maybe too complicated for a family film.
I understand the conclusion of the film as anxiety realising that when took over Riley’s mind, it was too much - the intent of protecting her in the interest of self preservation was what drove anxiety, and we see her be used in a much more constructive way at the end after we see the effects of when anxiety takes hold in an extreme way .. perhaps in inside out 3, they could introduce those emotions you mentioned; ambition, love etc, which are much more prominent once you’re through with being completely in your head as a teenager. Hope you’re well grace ! Great review x
I would love to see the emotions “power up” too stronger emotions like sadness goes out of control and transforms into depression or anger into fury joy into euphoria disgust as idk hatred fear into phobia
In order to become ambitious you need to overcome anxiety, frustration and hardship and use motivation coming from sources like envy and jealousy to reach next milestones. So I'm okay with that. It's not always inspiration that brings the best out of others. Chip on your shoulders for most of us. Ask Jordan
Most of them kill themselves after retiring
Hopeful this sequel is good. Pixar sequels have been mostly miss for a while now. The first inside out was one of my faves
I feel like one of the things these movies do best is portray that "lead emotions" tend to be unreliable narrators to our own sense of self. Grace recognizes that Anxiety is running the console and that in her story, pairing envy with anxiety have been very helpful to form the ambitious person she's become.
However, just like Riley lead emotion Joy (with co-leader sadness) has formed her view of the other emotions as potentially harmful and not as good...I think Anxiety and co-leader envy have colored how Grace sees her other emotions operating...🤷
I can see how Envy leads to Ambition. Like, if you are envious of that shiny new BMW
(to a not unreasonable degree), it might inspire you to work hard so that you can afford to buy one for yourself. Or you could just sit around, being bitterly envious.
INSIDE OUT 2 DEALT WITH PUBERTY!!!!!!
Great movie.
No missed opportunity.
Love you for shouting out Ron Funches because I love him in both Harley Quinn and Loot as well
"These movies want you to know it's okay to feel bad, rather than trying to make you feel good." That's awesome analysis. Though, I don't know that it holds for ALL Pixar movies or all moments in Pixar movies. I think that might be somewhat of the root of why some of us don't alway like Pixar movies as much as the masses.
I understand why some people wouldn’t understand Pixar movies, but I think teaching kids that it’s okay to be sad is important. We shouldn’t pretend to be okay when we’re not, and that’s what this movie is trying to say.
Why is why Pixar is awesome
I mean they all cared about Riley and where trying to help her in different way but anxiety was shown in a good and bad light, ofc it’s ok to work hard but not to over do it, but working hard can be good shown in the ending`
I would love to see Jiminy Cricket hop through in a cameo as her conscience!
I was so happy to see most of the theathers around me packed for this movie. Almost didnt get to watch it! Loved it! It was so much fun watching a movie with a crowd, who was happy to be there. Had been missing that.
Joy = hope. Reason why she’s always trying to find an answer. We are maturing with all of these characters
I appreciate your honest review Grace, it makes me interested in the film.
My only comment is perhaps you’re wanting kids film to give adult nuance and that’s never going to happen. So perhaps it’s unfair to hold it to that standard.
Yup. Anxiety is my leading emotion too!
Was it _She-Hulk_ who said Fear is a leading emotion in women?
@@sandal_thong8631 I am a dude haha. But I definitely know what you mean. My anxiety about other people would increase if I was a women.
The fact that this movie allows you to say "I love anxiety" is the most amazing, liberating and takes a lot of nerve. Is just a word that we project into, is just as useful as any emotion or mental state.
Accept my anxiety is the best thing this movie did for me... maybe any pixar movie
Cause she's a teenager she doesn't have all the other emotions but for the ones you mentioned love is a form of joy everything you mentioned is a form of those emotion for example sassy is a form of sarcasm some emotions are kinda the same thing
STILL SURPRISED THAT GRACE HATES THE FIRST INSIDE OUT!
Not a Pixar fan. I got dragged to this, but it was pretty cute. The "jail" scene was funny.
I can't wait for Inside Out 3 where Riley has a bi-polar boyfriend and they both have emotions on screen and.... oops script leak. Quick delete this comment before someone takes my ideas.
It makes sense you like ambition Grace as Slytherin is described as people who are ambitious. There is nothing wrong with having ambition it is all about where the individual takes their ambition and if its at the expense of others.
Hi Grace, love your channel. Greetings from Mexico City. I get what you're saying about anxiety.
But as a 32 years old asperger person with OCD and anxiety issues, I loved how they portrayed her and gave the solution too. Anxiety is necessary in a person's life. It is there to keep us safe from danger and keep us alert in order to preserve our life.
But when it becomes the leading emotion with ultimate power; using your imagination to interpretate reality and other people, and even affecting and distorting your personality and who you thought you have always been; anxiety sucks.
She thinks she is protecting and helping you and you are convinced about that also. Therefore, you take her advice in the decisions you make.
I relate so much with Riley because I'm a person that doesn't talk or demonstrates the emotions and problems that I'm experiencing. In other words, the first thing I do is to try to solve everything all by myself instead of asking for help. WRONG!
Currently I have learned. But in my teenage years that's exactly what I did and my family and friends never knew what I was going through because I was extremely good at acting and masking all that I was feeling.
I agree with you that Riley had to have orientation or help from a profesional. But because apparently that mental chaos lasted just 3 days and with this episode in her life she learns (or her emotions learn) that emotions does not define you and also to let them happen whitout trying to control them (or keeping them suppressed); I think Pixar did a great job simplifying and exposing the real solution when anxiety takes control over you convinced that she is helping you.
Ive been diagnosed with one of the worst bouts of anxiety any doctor has ever seen. I wont take medicine for it. I havent left my home for anything than walking dogs, and eating and getfing groceries in 9 years. My room mate does most my shopping since im also disabled and not just anxious. Anxiety is not a emotion or a thing it is a choking poison that invades every pore and makes me afraid to even breath. I have no sympathizers or emoathy in my life. I got 13 surgeries a few years ago, gidlfriend left me after a miscarriage, and lost my job and been unable to work or do anythinf or really live. I spemd six hiurs a day in a bathtub. Every day is hell and my anxiety makes it worse, but it isnt anxiety no one cares about me anymore and is just hoping to watch me fade away into nothjngness.
I couldn't chat or leave a comment, I'm a big fan of yours but please please say Aulii Cravahlo name right.. She represents us in Hawaii and it's pronounced Au Lee ee.. She deserved to have her name pronounced accurately
THERE IS A INSIDE OUT RIDE IN PIXAR PIER AT DCA!
Hehehehehe!! Oh Grace, you’re fantastic. Of course Anxiety is your favorite character! I think they’re all meant to be good, just need balance. I just saw the flick last night (Thailand) and loved it.
MAYA WAS GREAT IN THE MOVIE!
I actually remember us having a chat about the first Inside Out film over Skype all the way back in 2015, and neither of us particularly liked the first film haha! Clicked on this video SO fast when I saw it haha, just had to know your thoughts on the second one! I was super lucky and got to see the first 35 minutes of it last week at a special screening in London with Pete Docter, Amy Poehler and director Kelsey Mann, and agree that I was a lot more engaged than the first time around! Looking forward to seeing the rest this weekend! Thanks for all your amazing work Grace 💙
Anxiety being Grace's lead emotions makes a lot of sense! Full of ambition! And I'm not saying that is a bad thing, it would be nice to see in people's heads where Anxiety is in control more or part of the team not locked away.
How come the new emotions were not present in the first film? Adults can suffer anxiety and embarrassment.
Because they probably didn't think of it yet or wanted to suprise
Ah yes, Ripley's mind. Great to see the inner workings of the herione of Alien's mind 😂😂
I find it so interesting because I loved the first film, but I totally understand why someone would have a problem with it. I think it's a movie that has such a controversial take on such an important topic that the message can make you love the movie or hate it. Personally for me, I didn't agree with the message fully, but I understood where it came from, respected it, and loved the movie anyways. Hopefully the same will happen with the sequel
STILL CAN'T BELIEVE GRACE DIDN'T LIKE THE FIRST INSIDE OUT!
Grace, I think you would benefit from rewatching the film. All of the emotions are helpful, not just joy. In fact, Joy causes Riley to get into trouble and the whole team to run laps.
At the end anxiety reminded them of Riley's Spanish test, remember? Lol.
YASSSS QUEEN GRACE IS AN ANXIETY STAN ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel like I learn so much about grace when she talks about inside out 😄❤️
Watched it today and it was brilliant. I just love the worldbuilding of this movie and how they personify/imagine actual psychological concepts. They really expanded from the first movie and made it more sophisticsted. It is such a great movie with laugh out loud moments as well as some very deep meanings.
What d you mean the “good” wreck it ralph?! The first is fantastic, but the sequel just took the characters and story to an entirely different level. It’s so much more emotionally resonant and it actually picks up where the first one leaves off, and tells a completely new story (unlike pixar’s sequels).
I think the message was that anxiety can good emotion (like sadness) but it needs to be controlled and CANNOT lead your life for long time
I agree, Grace, you basically COULDNT mess up a story about emotions changing during puberty. This was an easy one for Pixar - so to me, this is DEFINATELY NOT the real test for the studio :-)
saw it yesterday. kids were laughing and adults were crying lol.
TBH Pixar world-building has never been very good. And it's why their sequels can be kinda bad. And why they couldn't make a good tv show to save their lives
Pixar still knows how to make movies
Looking very summery in that top. Looking good. Haven't watched these movies, is their a fear emotion?
Fear's the skinny purple guy.
I guess one of the perks of the job is that you can justify buying new clothes for every day you're on video. My aunt's sister said she had an outfit for each day she taught at college for a month (20+ weekdays), and they were watching her like a hawk so they could comment when she did a repeat. (I'd still like to see Grace once a year in her thumbnail's blue and white jumpsuit.)
@@sandal_thong8631 Ah Thank you
And the thumbnail wait grace hated the first one but that’s crazy I was 15 when the first film came and now with the sequel coming I’m almost 25 my gosh 😭😭😭🥹🥹
They say a franchise should grow with the audience. Maybe love (romantic and familial) will be in the next one.
Grace, I think it is our own interpretation of what anxiety and envy mean that make them seem like negative emotions. I in particular don't think they are, in Brazil at least being anxious about something can mean being excited and we tell people we have "good" envy about accomplishments or things they own etc. If we go down that route, even joy, wich is sold as something positive can mean bad things, like delusion, recklesness etc.
As for hope, I think it would be a mix of anxiety and joy.
Riley's expanded mind area reminded me of Avatar(blue one) alot. Around the ending, it reminded me of what i said before> Everyone has pros and cons of ourselves while some people have more pros/cons than cons/pros of themselves
What a great review! That insight into Pixar stories is priceless. It knocked me off my feet today. Thank you!
Good for you Grace. Owning your anxiety and having the courage to be so open and vulnerable with your audience. 100% agree with your read on Disney’s presentation of our emotions. Makes me wanna grab you and give you a huge hug. Huge respect. ❤ :)
I loved Inside Out as a teen but I’m so very excited for Inside Out 2 as an adult as I love Pixar so much!
9:42 ROOOON!!! My boi, Cooper! Long lost prince of the Funk Trolls! The goofiest pop troll you’ve ever met, and a bit of a fire bug! THE COOPER OF TROLLS, WOOHOO!!! So glad to know that Pixar realized how great a VA he is!
INSIDE OUT 2 WAS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grace i dont know if you have noticed this but you tend to like a lot of sequels more than their predecessors , I think its hilarious 😂😂😂
P.S. love your videos and livestreams❤❤
Grace they can’t put in 50 emotions lmao
2:46 Honestly, what an awesome take on Pixar, I believe it is a balance between the two for sure
I am really excited for this sequel! I’ll go and see it on Saturday for sure 😊
I thought Grace said of the original team in _Inside Out,_ "Those are not what my emotions look like!" But I went back to watch her original review of the first movie, and it was before I followed her and not there. Maybe it was an off-hand remark in another video, like the trailer?
I don’t think the new emotions are depicted in a bad light. They are depicted w a touch of reality. She puberty hits - those emotions are hard and take over in a crazy way.
I'd rather have had Incredibles 3
Anxiety looks like a fraggle.
The movies script felt rushed, like there were a lot of logic pitfalls and also so many not used ideas and moments for „puberty hits“ - but it was a pleasant, nice, Cosy movie going evening.
It’s pretty obvious also that they will use „love“ in the 3rd movie, which comes out when Riley is 16 …
watching these movies was such a delight when you're studying psychology. I'll watch this whenever i feel this course will kill me lol
Anxiety would be the at the helm of my ship too. As someone without a support system really, the negativity didn’t bother me, lol. I loved the first movie.
Grace, same as you did not like the first one. I'll catch this one eventually I guess because I don't even have Disney+ anymore. AT least it appears to be a return to Pixar standards we are used to, even if it's not near the heights they used to reach. Just need a win and I'm sure it'll do well at the box office.
I've finally seen it, and Grace mentions a spoiler review, but i can't find it 😢
I’m just saying most teenagers do not reach for help by an adult because we feel we can get out of it because we always have. To a certain extent I still have that mindset.
as someone who works with teenagers "needs more adult supervision" is true for a number of kids, sadly the other extreme is also true, boy is balancing life difficult.
This movie was so incredible, it’s wild to me that you’re so harsh on this but not so much on The Acolyte which is franchise ending levels of bad 😭
