I have cripling anxiety (I'm on the highest dose of Zoloft that's medically safe). This movie is a perfect representation of how anxiety feels for me. It even helped my life partner actually understand what's going on inside my head. I definitely won't be watching this again, but I'm so greatful it exists.
Yumi's cells is a korean webcomic, that has been adapted both into a kdrama and into an animated 3d movie that has a similar-ish concept and dynamic to inside out. For anyone wanting to explore the more nuanced emotions of adulthood, I'd recommend reading the comic or watching the adaptations. Just to add an example, there's a character who shows up later in the comic (the third romantic interest) who is not confirmed to be autistic, but whose inners cells were the best depiction of what my autistic experience feels like.
I’d guess Disney’s queerphobic pattern is also a major reason that Gina Carano’s lawsuit is being allowed to go ahead, because suddenly it’s a lot harder for them to make a compelling argument that what she was saying is so antithetical to their desired brand that they had to fire her. It’ll be interesting to see how they handle that once it actually gets to court.
I hear you but wasn’t the last straw that got her fired a comment about the pandemic? Seems like a big reach (Correct me if I’m wrong tho I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if she was also being queerphobic)
@@deee71194 The vast majority were transphobic. And I can’t imagine the hell Pedro Pascal was going through, listening to her say all this stuff and unable to defend his sister because she wasn’t ready to be out publicly.
I like the movie. It did feel a bit too similar to the first but I do like how it kind of flipped the structure. Love the PG-13 and R sequel ideas though.
I completely understand your experience with second-hand embarrassment when it comes to this movie, as I usually feel that too, although it's often mixed with a lot of disgust. I didn't feel that way this time around, because while watching the movie, I was extremely disgusted and angry, which somehow diminished all of that. I've come to learn that pure disgust can actually mitigate this sort of reaction, but it sometimes doesn't last long enough to be effective. I don’t think I will be watching Pixar’s spin-off series Dream Productions either without feeling pure disgust or a mix of disgust and anger again because, yes, I know the second-hand embarrassment will be absolute hell. It’s always hell, and the brakes that I have to take in between watching scenes are often annoying, but unfortunately the emotion of disgust is just not that reliable, even if it’s reliable to show up when embarrassment does. This is simply my own way of coping with the overwhelming mix of second-hand embarrassment and disgust. Despite not enjoying the movie overall, I guess it taught me something.
There were definitely scenes that bothered me with the secondhand embarrassment stuff. I still loved this despite that, I can see how you might not have had a good time watching it though.
I'm 1 minute 30 seconds in and I know you're going to talk about the cringe I remember watching this movie in theaters and thinking of you Knowing you're not going to like those parts Cringing right now remembering that Forgot about it until now
"If Disney had any guts at all - They don't, they're cowards." Love it!

Inside Out 2 was just as lovely as the first film.
I will probably see it when my own mental health is better
Engagement for the engagement god!
I enjoyed it, and I too had veeeery low expectations
I have read Dreams of Fire. you know what did in chapter 25. I give you a lot of side eye.
