Inside Out 2

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is one of the best Pixar movies to date. I did not expect to like this movie very much. Disney and Pixar have been vastly disappointing and even controversial recently, but Inside Out 2 rivals Pixar's best movies like Up, Monsters inc., Ratatouille, The Incredibles and Toy Story in quality.

I found the story very moving. The best animated movies ever made appeal not just to children, but resonate with the more mature audience as well. And that's what this movie does.

The theme was very poignant. I loved the introduction of the new characters and especially how they incorporated anxiety into the transformation of puberty. Anxiety is not fun, but many people struggle with it.

The ending was great too. I love that they didn't wrap it up in a cliche way.

Great job Disney and Pixar!

A sequel with beautiful execution and sufficient maturity to make this film a sequel that is no less than the first film. Even though the conflict shown is not as complex as the first film, but it still made my tears almost slide through my eyes. Such as the scene of Bing Bong saying the dialogue "Take her to the moon for me" in the first film, I did not find any emotions that were successfully expressed by the dialogue or scenes. But okay, that's okay, I still like it. The point is that you will find a feeling of nostalgia, a strong emotional feeling (although not too much), this film will be liked by every millennial child and children who want to go back to watch the second film to reminisce, I mean children who have grown up. The overall rating for this film is 8/10, it is definitely worth watching.

I am quite surprised at the overall positive reactions for this film compared to the first one as I don't think they are comparable at all.

Unlike the first film, Inside Out 2 felt rushed and lacked the time to properly develop each character. The film lacked direction at times and felt quite disconnected. The first film had an amazing sense of journey and adventure and I think that's where this one missed the mark. The journey undertaken by the original characters simply didn't have the same sense of purpose the storyline felt forced to try and rush to the end where where we all learn lesson of the complexity of emotions are what life is about.

All in all not a bad film, the animation was still great, same with the voice acting, it just lacked the extra magic of the first and didn't quite evoke the same feelings.

6/10.

Inside Out 2 talks about "growing up" in an emotional way and depicts how growing up is challenging inside our thoughts. The film introduces the emotions we had from the previous movie: Joy, Anger, Sadness, Fear and Disgust. We are also introduced to new emotions: embarrassment, Ennui (boredom), Envy and Anxiety.

Riley is about to go to high school but the story focuses on her preparation to officially join the FogHorn Hockey team. As the story progresses, Riley finds herself challenged with her hopes to join the team. Her friendship was wounded, her emotions went all over the place and the pressure got into her head. But eventually, everything goes into their proper places.

This sequel film may be animated and made for kids but as an adult, it just hits differently. I can say that this film was partially made for adults and for anyone who is in a bad mental situation. It reminds its viewers how growing older can be tough, how overthinking affects everything else, how decisions that are made today may affect what's next. But it is also a strong reminder that problems, fear, worries and anxieties will come. They are all inevitable but everything will pass. Take a deep breath, stay calm and do not overstress everything. Having a calm mind also affects the way we think. We may feel pressure at any given time but we have to sit back and relax.

Do not overstress things at the present. Live at the moment. The future is there but we live at the present, right here, right now. Enjoy life. Remember that you are not alone on whatever you are facing. Keep your friends and family close. And finally, God is always with us.

Inside Out 2 is a great film. Every audience will have a different way of enjoying this but just remember, you are who you are. Embrace yourself.

I have disliked a number of Pixar movies, for being idealess and soulless. It truely felt like Pixar had lost all of their magic. But Inside Out 2 is a welcome movie among recent disappointments. Not at all perfect but still good! The story of Riley's transition into her teenage years, and finding a way to handle all of her new emotions, especially anxiety, appeal not just to children, but resonate with the more mature audience as well. The theme can be a little complex for younger audience. However the writers mange to keep it simple, funny and emotional. All the classic signs of a truly good Pixar movie. I loved the introduction of the new characters, and found them all to be likable in there on way. You could understand the motivation of each character, and none of them were over the top and outstayed their welcome "Except nostalgia" :-) The ending was great too. I love that they didn't wrap it up in a cliche way. Over all Good! Therefore i give it 8 starts. Great job Disney and Pixar!
