had to adjust some audio issues -i mean you saw nothing duh- but thank you for watching 💖 and happy holidays~ …also shoutout to the 516 viewers from the original, pouring one out for y’all
rileys friends are such non characters i didnt even realize how bad of friends they were being! i would have totally loved to see them get confronted and talk it out
I feel like it'd be good to compare them to the friends in Turning Red. They were such individuals and were fundamental to mei's growth. These characters in IO2 were definitely background
28:30 Anxiety wasn't frozen in place. She was moving so fast her movements were undetectable. She was stil manipulating the control panel when dhe looked stricken; her manic piloting is what was making Riley's heart explode
16:50 My explaination why does Riley keep Lance a secret (from a guy who plays fighting games): Riley picked a character who might be considered "Low Tier" aka THE WORST OPTION. And she's ashamed to say why. I know that from my own experience... BECAUSE I DID THE SAME THING. XDDD
@Rednarokku Ikr same! I totally understand hahaha, I have this weird crush thing on a fictional character but he's considered the worst character in the entire main cast, he's not attractive and does some outwardly gross things so I'd never admit it to anyone irl
The scene from inside out 2 when Riley is worried about how she's walking and how her arm should be really stands out to me because that is a very real experience, I absolutely adore the representation of anxiety in that movie, and just the entire movie in general
38:26 "When you grow up you feel less joy" This is setting up for Inside Out 3, where Joy has gone off the grid to live as a hermit in Riley's adult years and the gang has to go on a quest to find her and pull her out of retirement, à la The Force Awakens. Because, just like the commercial success of Disney Star Wars, there's no way this isn't getting a sequel.
As a neurodivergent person who grew up dealing with bullying and a lot of anxiety, I related to Riley's thoughts and anxiety attack like I've never related to anything before, I was in tears coming out of this movie. I loved it, I loved the characters, and I love inside out two.
Sure, that’s great that you relate to it. But how much a movie is “relatable” says nothing about how good of a movie it is. Carrie did a great job of giving an honest breakdown of the movie’s plot and problems.
@@randomcat7246 honestly, i'm really glad for that, because inside out 2 pulled on my heartstrings so hard, emotions overwhelmed my enjoyment of the movie and so i couldn't even begin to think about the actual plot without being biased because of how the movie connected me with anxiety
I’m also neurodivergent and loved this movie for the most part but I have one huge gripe with it- how quickly Riley recovers from the panic attack. Panic attacks are brutal and the effects will wrack you for the rest of the day if not more, sucking all the breath and life out of you. They way she just picks herself back up cheapens the actual lingering horrifying experience of a panic attack
@wisconsinwintergreen6296 Honestly you're right, the panic attack was oddly short, but that can happen. Feeling bad for the rest of the day though is definitely something that should've been added, it felt kind of fake in a way. Nobody noticed Riley as well, and that really gave me a weird feeling.
OK honestly Joy saying "you feel less joy as you grow up" does represent her in the process of understanding the true message of "as you grow up happiness is something you seek out not a constant state of mind" so it isn't wrong for the line to be put there. The rest of the arc just could have been developed better
it's not a bad line if it was in the middle of the movie, but they had it right before the climax where your character is supposed to learn the thing that changes them 👀 in the first one, it's when joy learns abt sadness' importance, but here she's saying that you feel less joy which doesn't help anything in terms of stopping anxiety's panic attack it may not be the film's final message but the script structure is highlighting it as one
@@CarrieTooTired I agree the placement isn't the best (in fact, I think the line should have been in the first film actually). But it, for me at least, isn't portrayed as the final message. That is "we don't get to choose who Riley is" said during the panic attack scene. There is a further realization by Joy of some kind, that is.
As someone who, as as a child watched Inside Out REPEADEDLY I can confirm Inside Out 2 did not suck as much as any of the other modern sequels did. I was genuinely worried that it would be like Frozen 2 in the sense that stuff would be forcefully written into a world that was long finished.
35:15 ish While I do think a scene where the Firehawks and Riley’s friends reassure her would have been incredibly moving and powerful, I also think it would’ve been a little strange. Keep in mind that they are all _teenage_ girls - they might struggle with Anxiety as well, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they know how to properly deal with it, or even know how to comfort someone having an anxiety attack
The thing is... They didn't do anything at all. From what I remember they didn't show much sign of concern. And did not stop the game to go get the coach/an adult for help.
@@TabbysDolls Considering that the coach is stern and strict to the point of collecting everyone's phones, I'm pretty sure the coach would've just told Riley to "get it together." And even without that, Riley is now at an age where she's developing independence to the point of going on trips away from her parents - so showing Riley handle the panic attack on her own is in line with her character. (Plus, I once had a panic attack that lasted throughout an entire high school exam, and nobody noticed or cared. So Riley having to deal with panic attacks on her own resonates with me.)
@@ImTooOldForThisNonsense oh yea, I totally get that(and I'm sorry you had to go through that), also Riley didn't handle all of it by herself, it was mostly taken care of but her friends helped her recover from it a bit.(even though, like stated in the video, I think it would've helped if her friends apologized too)
True, but even just having one of them purposely get sat out so they could just sit next to her and offer a hand would've worked. Maybe it's just me but if I saw someone was having a emotional moment and didn't know how to handle it nor believed I could get help from someone else, I'd at least showcase solidarity and that I care. Having a moment of one of her friend(s) awkwardly trying to help would show that they still care for her would've been sweet and better than just her being fully alone in that moment I think
Music can be used to influence emotions if done right. It's why so many people say that if you listen to depressing music then your gonna feel depressed. But if a movie adds so much music that is supposed to make you feel something. If can often feel forceful and feel fake. I am no psychology major but i know that people are smart enough to know when they are being told how to feel. Good video tho
35:40 i feel like by the first movies rules this should have been a core memory moment, but if it had been then...shed have learnt something kind of bad for her wellbeing in the long run from it. Like, her first panic attack, the culmination of the real shake-up of her understanding of friendship, her first moment seeking out her own emotions to choose how she wants to live her life, yet a core memory of it would have left her feeling certain that like her own pain isnt as important to anyone else as their deserved apologies. And...yeah, people exost who have learned that lesson from even one pivotal moment in their life that stuck with them, and either had a hard time unlearning it later, or suffered the rest of their life. Within the world of the movie were supposed to think that everyone is a good person and her friends are good friends etc but Inside Out and now its sequel are a lot of kids first introduction to these sprts of ideas and not going to be good if any of them take that on board as well, that if they have an experience like that theyre just supposed to suck it up after and act like they didnt just go through something awful
yeah the aftermath should've affected her friendship island at least, but I think they didn't want to overflow the movie when they already have to worry about anxiety and the beliefs/sense-of-self ...that being said the part where bree and grace forgave riley should've turned into a core memory 👌
I wasn’t fully hit by the movie either, but the specific scene where Riley is outwardly having a panic attack still made me cry while working on homework with this in the background :,)
Another coming of age recommendation is Pixar’s upcoming series “Win or Lose”. Earlier my semester we were shown snippets of the show and my god it’s more than what I expected coming in (if you’re a fan of Turning Red oh boy get ready to be punched in your gut multiple times). Sadly it keeps getting delayed but I’m hoping it’s vision stays strong and gets all the praise it should when released.
A nitpick I had was that Envy didn't really seem to have much benefit. Anxiety helps to plan, Ennui and Embarrassment help to regulate social behaviour but I found it unclear what Envy does to help. You could make the argument that Envy helps Riley to aspire to do more but Anxiety is the one who really pushes for that anyway.
I saw Envy as a way of trying new experiences as a way of both bonding with friends, and the desire to reach for the life that you want. For example, "I want the excellent results that my best friends get!" "I want that necklace so I can fit in!" "I want to go to that rock concert so that my cool friends will still like me!" "I want to keep up with every trending video on RUclips so that I can talk about something cool with my friends!" Something like that.
@@ImTooOldForThisNonsense That makes sense! I just wish there was a little moment where we could see Envy doing something like that without Anxiety's influence.
@@lilacbookshelf1909 Well, there was a moment where Riley refused to follow Anxiety's instruction of sneaking into the coach's office, but Envy overrides Riley's hesitance. There's also her introduction where she's fawning over Valetino's hair. "We need hair like that!"
Changing minor details to make a teenager's/preteen's completely neutral actions come across as "less gay" is unintentionally the MOST Teen Discovering They're Gay thing they could've done (Just please, pleeeease don't let me see "Inside Out had Disney's first gay character!!!" in whatever recreates Buzzfeed in 2030)
40:32 I can’t believe Disney reduced possible Valey ships! I saw the first teaser and I did immediately say “those two have chemistry” but then the movie was way more senpai vibes than inspiration or even slight crush. People can do what they want with characters but I think this is a Disney being scared of queerness issue, hence.
The joy it brings me that you are also a haikyuu fan. Kageyama was robbed most of his scenes from the manga but it was the price we paid to get Kuro in such high quality and honestly it was a decent trade T-T Anyway, great video and couldn't agree more. I loved the first IO and I can't say IO2 was anything less than a good time, but I just couldn't like it as much as the first specifically because it seems so over the place but the character dynamics of the emotions is, as always, the saving grace of the franchise.
as an anime-only haikyuu fan, the movie definitely felt like it had more content, but the pacing and everything we got was so good that I’m happy w/ what we got but thank you!! glad you like the video 💖
@@CarrieTooTired oh, it was still a great movie, dont get me wrong! I just read the manga first so it was hard not to see what was left out. Anyway, of course! I love your vids.
I really disagree that the second movie showed how "anxiety is important". Especially not in comparison to sadness and importance in the first. I LOVE animation as a medium for story telling and analyzing these pieces of story art is my FAVORITE thing to do, but I genuinely do not see anxiety as a necessity or positive aspect in Riley's life beyond what fear already covers as far as the Inside Out universe goes.
I genuinely do not understand how you can’t like this movie’s soundtrack it’s so good anxiety’s soundtrack is so freaking good for her it’s supposed to make you feel stressed that’s the point and the music for the belief system is perfection
Dawg I thought i was losing my mind yesterday, I went to show my girlfriend the lance and gojo bit but I literally could not find the video lmao. Glad you got it re-upped
Out of all the movies that did not need sequels this year Inside Out was the perfect movie to get a sequel and it worked so well. Just Inside Out 3 now plz mr pixar 👉👈
This is sorta accurate to how I feel about the movie, but also, I feel like the new emotions just aren't questioned enough? Aren't many of them just the composite emotions that show up at the end of the first
I feel really annoyed about the way that the staff for this movie was treated too. It’s depressing to see how downhill Pixar and Disney have gone by using sequels and remakes to make easy money without letting their workers really express their creativity.
THANK YOU, omg I thought I must be going insane because I thought Inside Out 2 was just Pretty Good. Not bad by any means, but not a masterpiece on par with the original like I've heard a lot of people say. But I couldn't figure out why I felt that way until you put it all into words for me.
fr, dyslexia is decently known about but I didn’t even know dyscalculia was a thing until I was diagnosed at 15. I have vivid memories of struggling with math as early as kindergarten so… it would have been nice to know earlier :/
@phantomology13 Yeah it really sucks how little it's known. Same with Dysgraphia which is a writing disability same kind of thing but with writing, spelling, grammar, motor controls, etc. I really wish they were more represented. But it's wonderful to have another person experience the same stuff I do! :D hope you have a wonderful day and happy holidays!
Agreed... though actually I would be more harsh on this movie. But my #1 biggest issue with it was that they just went too hard on the anxiety. Like that's the only thing you feel through the entire movie. Which, okay they're making a movie that is /literally/ about anxiety, so it makes sense to make the audience feel anxiety, but it just made it really unpleasant to watch... there were just no breaks or breathers from it, it was a physically painful watch and not enjoyable at all. For a kids movie that seems pretty hardcore.
Felt it was a pretty good sequel (especially for all the stuff it essentially reuses from the original), but it's hard to top the original as the better film. It's just fresher and more original. That said, if IO3 manages to be as good as 2 it may become my new favourite Pixar trilogy.
If you're into media that tackles mental health well, I cannot recommend The Stormlight Archive (by Brandon Sanderson) enough. They're big books so it might be a bit intimidating especially if you're not a reader but the books are so so so good. None of it is like actually named (since the story is fantasy) but from what I can tell (from an outside perspective) it's very well-researched and the most important part- it makes me cry a lot even on rereads.
While I did like this movie it just didn't have the magic the first one did to me. I like that Riley was more of a character, but aside from that I don't know if there was much going for the movie. It did a good job representing anxiety, but it felt like everything else was kind of... idk, lifeless? like in the first movie they explore so many interesting places and in this one all the mind stuff that happens feels really dumb (like the sar-casm. Disgust literally made Riley sarcastic in the first movie, it's not new, and I don't understand why that would cause a casm. I didn't find it remotely funny, and it just felt like they were running out of ideas).
I remember watching the second movie and I definitely enjoyed it but I couldn’t put into words why it didn’t hit like the first one. I think you absolutely nailed the way I felt. Like they wanted to make a coming of age movie with teenagers without putting the teenagers in it? To me it just fell flat. I’m glad to see that there were other people that could see themselves in the movie and feel like their journey was represented though! Even though it wasn’t my cup of tea, it was still a decent tea
The first movie basically explained: Joy and Sadness can't live without one another. And the Second One: You can't function without SOME degree of anxiety.
I really enjoyed inside out 2, but the one thing I never understood/connected with was why Riley was so desperate to fit it in high school, and what was so bad about being alone/why she couldn’t find new friends normally. I ended up having to remind myself that everyone is different, and that just because I didn’t panic over it doesn’t mean that’s standard across the board. Still loved the movie though.
I think riley's fear of being alone is mostly thanks to her big move to san francisco 👀 in the first movie, her best friend at the time moved on almost instantly and she was depressed/ lonely at school after the core memory incident
I still remember that viral test from a while back that compared you to like over a thousand fictional characters and out of everyone available they said the character I was most similar to was fear😑Jess Day, Charlotte York, Butters, Charles Boyle, and this guy Samwell from Game of Thrones were high up too though. I wonder if they’ve updated it to add the new emotions now because I think Envy is more fitting to me!!!
Was there a reason this got re-uploaded? was this not meant to be released yesterday? I watched all or nearly all of the video yesterday then tried to leave a comment and saw it was removed lol. I just wanted to say though not only was this an enjoyable review to watch but I like that despite not particularly caring for inside out 2 itself, instead of just ending it on that note, you have a section of recommendations for similar movies that you thought did better as a whole. Good stuff
1:23 That’s what I was just thinking 🤣 “I like Inside Out 2 a lot, but highest grossing film of all time? At least it knocked Lion King (2019) off the thrown!”
My biggest and most fundamental problem with Inside out 2 is anxiety. Inside out is supposed to be researched by a group of psychologists and psychiatrists for the creation of it. And that is seen clearly at the first. But in the second one. Is terrible how basically they scratched up all what they had presented about Riley mind functioning. This has the porpoise of as they said to "re invent" the concept. But my biggest problem is not that, but how they did not consulted any professional for the inclusion of anxiety as an "emotion" in inside our 2. Anxiety for the first most is not an emotion. Fear is an emotion. But anxiety, is described as a deproportioned response to fear, which then evolved into mental illness. Anxiety is a pathology. Fear is a natural reaction that keeps you alive. The survival instinct. If for example someone breaks into your home at night. You feel at first, a rush of fear, adrenaline, perhaps panic. But that will keep you moving and surviving. Without fear you would not even survive much. Not even as a child. Small children seem to always have the necessity to place themselves in mortal danger because they do not have fear of the stove, fire, an open window ten floors below. Is with their parents that learn that a hand in the stove burns you. A fire can cause a bigger fire that can harm. A fall of ten floors below will kill you. Is fear that keeps you alive fundamentally. Anxiety is feeling that fear, and panic response without any stimulation that would merit feeling it. If you have panic attacks. Suddenly you can react the same way you would react when been at your home in a fire. Or be chased by a lion or been about to be railed over by a trailer. That panic that is triggered by literally, anything at all. Or without any stimulus. For some is going out to buy groceries and is the so tremendous, and despeoportionate panic response. That is an example of what is anxiety. And anxiety is one of the most, harmful and vast formation of mental disorders. See to PTSD and OCD for example. Desrealization and despersonalization, agoraphobia-You can name the whole chapter of the DSM V that are disorders caused by anxiety or co related to it. Anxiety is not something that as is portrayed at the movie you can place aside in a chair. Or that is "Good" And only wants the best for you. I think that inside out 2 can actually be quite harmful for adolescents and parents of children. Which if their child or themselves as children are experimenting anxiety. Instead of starting to go with psychiatric and psychological help, they would try themselves for control it. Is the same as trying to "really mean" to cure yourself from diabetes or cancer or schizophrenia for example. Anxiety is a mental disorder. That needs attention as soon as possible, because as soon as is attended and recognized. The pronostica of the treatment will be better. Is one of the most debilitating mental disorders, and is because of how harmful and quickly can evolve. Is not of stigma to recognize that anxiety is a real mental disorder. And that is need of having care and attention, and never judge. Ir would be as judging someone for having an illness that is organic. Anxiety is not an emotion! And of course not to the pathological extent is portrayed. Is something that does angry me, because Pixar does has a responsibility of creating a movie about well, the mins. As has a tremendous influence in the audience. And is directed to the whole family. I would rather said it angers me how they did not had any care in the creation of the movie. In inside one 1. They had that responsibility in seriousness. Exposing that all emotions are good. Reprehending them and bottling them up. Of judging them as bad, is harmful. As happened with Sadness and Joy. But if recognizing them and giving them all their place. Of the support that is needed for all, and Riley experiencing essentially depression. But in the support of her parents. Overcoming it (After Riley escapes and returns) It does has that responsibility in a clear mind. But inside 2. I believe it can be very harmful.
The only reason I didn’t like the movie initially was because anxiety was giving me anxiety… like I guess it’s a sign of good character design but the movie (and even watching clips from this video) make me physically uncomfortable
i overall loved the movie but i could not fucking stand that whole section with the "deepest darkest secrets/repressed emotions", it was infuriating and i skip i every time i rewatch lmfao
What's the Animal Crossing song that keeps playing throughout the video? It sounds like a remix of Fallen Angel from Panty & Stocking but I can't find such a rendition on RUclips. Anyway, I didn't end up watching Inside Out 2 because I knew I'd feel disconnected from it. I had a very abnormal teenagehood that had a massive traumatic surgery smack-dab in the middle of it, so these types of movies don't resonate with me as they would other people. It feels sorta isolating because I never had these experiences that were depicted in the Inside Out movies. All the negativity was amplified and I didn't have the friends to fall back on. My experience isn't nearly as common as that of the average person, so whatever lol, not every movie is made for everyone.
I didn't want to watch the movie when it first came out, because I didn't want to ruin the boycotts efforts- tried watching it recently when my nephew was spending the night with me- but I'll be honest, watching Riley dealing with her anxiety just brought me back to my own memories of my own anxiety during middle school- and I had to stop watching it. I'm sure the movies great- but I don't think I'm ready to look back on my life rn 😅 Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the movie! Always enjoy hearing your opinions 🥰🥰🥰 Edit: The boycott I'm refering to is the one for Palestine btw 🙏 Just wanted to add that context in case people were wondering what I was talking about 🤝
Inside Out 2 honestly made me appreciate how tightly-written the first one was. Yeah it has a few hiccoughs but I sincerely believe that Inside Out 1 had no wasted scene. The sequel on the other hand, while faster paced just feels like events happening at you. Like you said, the character progression was kinda hampered in this movie, and yeah I thought the new soundtrack was generic just like you did. Pretty disappointing sequel in my opinion.
But that’s just it, in comparison to the first movie the soundtrack is incredibly drab, and pretty forgettable. I can only really remember 2 or three tracks from the movie that had a memorable tune. All the rest were forgettable.
I mostly agree with your criticisms, but I feel like Riley's public panic attack needs to be mentioned. I once had a panic attack that lasted throughout my entire high school exam in Year 12, and nobody in the classroom saw or cared - teachers or students. I had to handle the circumstances on my own. As for the movie itself, Riley is now at an age where she's developing independence to the point of going on trips away from her parents. While she's anxious, she's now at a stage in her life where she's independent and is expected to do more on her own rather than still have adult/parental guidance. So Riley having to experience panic attacks the same way I did, especially at a much younger age, is both personally resonating to me, and in line with her character.

35:40 i feel like by the first movies rules this should have been a core memory moment, but if it had been then...shed have learnt something kind of bad for her wellbeing in the long run from it.
Like, her first panic attack, the culmination of the real shake-up of her understanding of friendship, her first moment seeking out her own emotions to choose how she wants to live her life, yet a core memory of it would have left her feeling certain that like her own pain isnt as important to anyone else as their deserved apologies. And...yeah, people exost who have learned that lesson from even one pivotal moment in their life that stuck with them, and either had a hard time unlearning it later, or suffered the rest of their life. Within the world of the movie were supposed to think that everyone is a good person and her friends are good friends etc but Inside Out and now its sequel are a lot of kids first introduction to these sprts of ideas and not going to be good if any of them take that on board as well, that if they have an experience like that theyre just supposed to suck it up after and act like they didnt just go through something awful
yeah the aftermath should've affected her friendship island at least, but I think they didn't want to overflow the movie when they already have to worry about anxiety and the beliefs/sense-of-self
...that being said the part where bree and grace forgave riley should've turned into a core memory 👌
I wasn’t fully hit by the movie either, but the specific scene where Riley is outwardly having a panic attack still made me cry while working on homework with this in the background :,)
Another coming of age recommendation is Pixar’s upcoming series “Win or Lose”. Earlier my semester we were shown snippets of the show and my god it’s more than what I expected coming in (if you’re a fan of Turning Red oh boy get ready to be punched in your gut multiple times). Sadly it keeps getting delayed but I’m hoping it’s vision stays strong and gets all the praise it should when released.
that’s so cool 👀 I’m also p excited abt win or lose I hope everything goes well for that show
from what ive heard theyve removed the trans arc from one of the characters 💔💔
A nitpick I had was that Envy didn't really seem to have much benefit. Anxiety helps to plan, Ennui and Embarrassment help to regulate social behaviour but I found it unclear what Envy does to help. You could make the argument that Envy helps Riley to aspire to do more but Anxiety is the one who really pushes for that anyway.
I saw Envy as a way of trying new experiences as a way of both bonding with friends, and the desire to reach for the life that you want. For example, "I want the excellent results that my best friends get!" "I want that necklace so I can fit in!" "I want to go to that rock concert so that my cool friends will still like me!" "I want to keep up with every trending video on RUclips so that I can talk about something cool with my friends!" Something like that.
@@ImTooOldForThisNonsense That makes sense! I just wish there was a little moment where we could see Envy doing something like that without Anxiety's influence.
@@lilacbookshelf1909 Well, there was a moment where Riley refused to follow Anxiety's instruction of sneaking into the coach's office, but Envy overrides Riley's hesitance.
There's also her introduction where she's fawning over Valetino's hair. "We need hair like that!"
That anxiety attack still give me goosbumps
Changing minor details to make a teenager's/preteen's completely neutral actions come across as "less gay" is unintentionally the MOST Teen Discovering They're Gay thing they could've done
(Just please, pleeeease don't let me see "Inside Out had Disney's first gay character!!!" in whatever recreates Buzzfeed in 2030)
1:54
I GOT AN AD FOR MUFASA HERE
OH THE IRONY
LOLLL
ME TOO
It also beat Frozen 2, which makes me extra happy.
39:41 honestly Mindy not coming back was probably for the best
40:32 I can’t believe Disney reduced possible Valey ships! I saw the first teaser and I did immediately say “those two have chemistry” but then the movie was way more senpai vibes than inspiration or even slight crush.
People can do what they want with characters but I think this is a Disney being scared of queerness issue, hence.
The joy it brings me that you are also a haikyuu fan. Kageyama was robbed most of his scenes from the manga but it was the price we paid to get Kuro in such high quality and honestly it was a decent trade T-T Anyway, great video and couldn't agree more. I loved the first IO and I can't say IO2 was anything less than a good time, but I just couldn't like it as much as the first specifically because it seems so over the place but the character dynamics of the emotions is, as always, the saving grace of the franchise.
as an anime-only haikyuu fan, the movie definitely felt like it had more content, but the pacing and everything we got was so good that I’m happy w/ what we got
but thank you!! glad you like the video 💖
@@CarrieTooTired oh, it was still a great movie, dont get me wrong! I just read the manga first so it was hard not to see what was left out.
Anyway, of course! I love your vids.
nah I totally get it, that’s me w/ spy x family
6:57 my emotions are keeping them around just in case, like the box of cables in my closet😭😭
oh gawd not the box of cables 🙈
I really disagree that the second movie showed how "anxiety is important". Especially not in comparison to sadness and importance in the first.
I LOVE animation as a medium for story telling and analyzing these pieces of story art is my FAVORITE thing to do, but I genuinely do not see anxiety as a necessity or positive aspect in Riley's life beyond what fear already covers as far as the Inside Out universe goes.
There’s something about your reviews that’s so… I don’t know, cozy? It’s nice.
aww thank you 💖
Sure!
1:54 Blahaj pizza :D
Inside Out 2 is so relatable to me!
I genuinely do not understand how you can’t like this movie’s soundtrack it’s so good anxiety’s soundtrack is so freaking good for her it’s supposed to make you feel stressed that’s the point and the music for the belief system is perfection
Going into this movie, I automatically knew it wouldn't be as good as the first. Nothing tops Bing Bong's death.
real
“Nothing tops Bing Bong’s death.”
because death is fun 😀
Dawg I thought i was losing my mind yesterday, I went to show my girlfriend the lance and gojo bit but I literally could not find the video lmao. Glad you got it re-upped
as a fellow gojo girlie I gotchu- hope she likes it!!
Out of all the movies that did not need sequels this year Inside Out was the perfect movie to get a sequel and it worked so well. Just Inside Out 3 now plz mr pixar 👉👈
This is sorta accurate to how I feel about the movie, but also, I feel like the new emotions just aren't questioned enough? Aren't many of them just the composite emotions that show up at the end of the first
Nahhh when I was 13 I suppressed all my fictional crushes like I was gonna get arrested for liking the villain from Coco
I feel really annoyed about the way that the staff for this movie was treated too. It’s depressing to see how downhill Pixar and Disney have gone by using sequels and remakes to make easy money without letting their workers really express their creativity.
Finally, I was so mad when this got taken down
I love this movie no matter what anyone else says 😭
WHat with the reupload? Also it’s kinda weird that I got a hold of this video so fast that I could get a comment that’s fairly up near the top
THANK YOU, omg I thought I must be going insane because I thought Inside Out 2 was just Pretty Good. Not bad by any means, but not a masterpiece on par with the original like I've heard a lot of people say. But I couldn't figure out why I felt that way until you put it all into words for me.
fr I thought I was going crazy 🙈 but I'm glad you enjoyed this!!
The best part about this movie is that i can proudly claim that kiryu kazuma is in a pixar movie
34:33 I have dyscaculia too!!! I never knew it was represented in media. I've always felt alone in it. What a cool thing!
fr, dyslexia is decently known about but I didn’t even know dyscalculia was a thing until I was diagnosed at 15. I have vivid memories of struggling with math as early as kindergarten so… it would have been nice to know earlier :/
@phantomology13 Yeah it really sucks how little it's known. Same with Dysgraphia which is a writing disability same kind of thing but with writing, spelling, grammar, motor controls, etc. I really wish they were more represented. But it's wonderful to have another person experience the same stuff I do! :D hope you have a wonderful day and happy holidays!
Agreed... though actually I would be more harsh on this movie. But my #1 biggest issue with it was that they just went too hard on the anxiety. Like that's the only thing you feel through the entire movie. Which, okay they're making a movie that is /literally/ about anxiety, so it makes sense to make the audience feel anxiety, but it just made it really unpleasant to watch... there were just no breaks or breathers from it, it was a physically painful watch and not enjoyable at all. For a kids movie that seems pretty hardcore.
Felt it was a pretty good sequel (especially for all the stuff it essentially reuses from the original), but it's hard to top the original as the better film. It's just fresher and more original. That said, if IO3 manages to be as good as 2 it may become my new favourite Pixar trilogy.
honestly if inside out 3 gets a tighter script, then this being the weakest of a trilogy would be a crazy feat to a achieve
@@CarrieTooTired Yeah for sure.
If you're into media that tackles mental health well, I cannot recommend The Stormlight Archive (by Brandon Sanderson) enough. They're big books so it might be a bit intimidating especially if you're not a reader but the books are so so so good. None of it is like actually named (since the story is fantasy) but from what I can tell (from an outside perspective) it's very well-researched and the most important part- it makes me cry a lot even on rereads.
Ah yes, underrated yter.
While I did like this movie it just didn't have the magic the first one did to me. I like that Riley was more of a character, but aside from that I don't know if there was much going for the movie. It did a good job representing anxiety, but it felt like everything else was kind of... idk, lifeless? like in the first movie they explore so many interesting places and in this one all the mind stuff that happens feels really dumb (like the sar-casm. Disgust literally made Riley sarcastic in the first movie, it's not new, and I don't understand why that would cause a casm. I didn't find it remotely funny, and it just felt like they were running out of ideas).
I rolled my eyes in the theater when the sar-chasm appeared 🙃 they really thought they ate w/ that one
@ No literally. They thought it was so good they put it in the trailer
I remember watching the second movie and I definitely enjoyed it but I couldn’t put into words why it didn’t hit like the first one. I think you absolutely nailed the way I felt. Like they wanted to make a coming of age movie with teenagers without putting the teenagers in it? To me it just fell flat. I’m glad to see that there were other people that could see themselves in the movie and feel like their journey was represented though! Even though it wasn’t my cup of tea, it was still a decent tea
well said my guy 🫡
The first movie basically explained: Joy and Sadness can't live without one another.
And the Second One: You can't function without SOME degree of anxiety.
In the third movie there should be a new emotion called confidence
10:17 me to grandpa 😭😭😭
"Yeah. I wished I liked it more..."
*Sudden transition
Idk I just found that part of the video funny lol
I really enjoyed inside out 2, but the one thing I never understood/connected with was why Riley was so desperate to fit it in high school, and what was so bad about being alone/why she couldn’t find new friends normally. I ended up having to remind myself that everyone is different, and that just because I didn’t panic over it doesn’t mean that’s standard across the board. Still loved the movie though.
I think riley's fear of being alone is mostly thanks to her big move to san francisco 👀 in the first movie, her best friend at the time moved on almost instantly and she was depressed/ lonely at school after the core memory incident
actuly its one year cuz at the end of inside out 1 joy says "after all Rileys 12 now what could happen" mirroring the beginning of the movie
I still remember that viral test from a while back that compared you to like over a thousand fictional characters and out of everyone available they said the character I was most similar to was fear😑Jess Day, Charlotte York, Butters, Charles Boyle, and this guy Samwell from Game of Thrones were high up too though. I wonder if they’ve updated it to add the new emotions now because I think Envy is more fitting to me!!!
Love the inclusion of the recommendations at the end! Was a nice touch to tie everything together
ahh thank you jess 💖
Inside Out was also my fav when i grew up!
Envy's just like me frfr down to the hairclips
I love the wild robot figure on your desk !!
thank you!! she's a great desk companion 💖
Was there a reason this got re-uploaded? was this not meant to be released yesterday? I watched all or nearly all of the video yesterday then tried to leave a comment and saw it was removed lol. I just wanted to say though not only was this an enjoyable review to watch but I like that despite not particularly caring for inside out 2 itself, instead of just ending it on that note, you have a section of recommendations for similar movies that you thought did better as a whole. Good stuff
just some audio issues, but thank you for coming back 💖
26:59 i swear dandadan follows me everywhere i go
42:06 This movie destroyed me😭
dandadan brainrot is real-
5:04 I watched this in the early hours of the morning, I think my unexpectedly loud laughter woke up my neighbours ✌️💀
lmao I’ve been there-
The ending kinda makes me feel like a third movie will be made to fully complete the story 😅. Stil an amazing movie. 10/10
1:23
That’s what I was just thinking 🤣
“I like Inside Out 2 a lot, but highest grossing film of all time? At least it knocked Lion King (2019) off the thrown!”
I’ll take a good animated sequel over that abomination any day 🫡
My class was having a pizza party and misunderstood this video as inside out 2 ☠️☠️💀☠️💀☠️☠️
…I’m horrified
42:31 might as well recommend Whisper of the Heart too
Whisper of the Heart is a classic 💖
My biggest and most fundamental problem with Inside out 2 is anxiety. Inside out is supposed to be researched by a group of psychologists and psychiatrists for the creation of it. And that is seen clearly at the first. But in the second one. Is terrible how basically they scratched up all what they had presented about Riley mind functioning. This has the porpoise of as they said to "re invent" the concept. But my biggest problem is not that, but how they did not consulted any professional for the inclusion of anxiety as an "emotion" in inside our 2.
Anxiety for the first most is not an emotion. Fear is an emotion. But anxiety, is described as a deproportioned response to fear, which then evolved into mental illness. Anxiety is a pathology. Fear is a natural reaction that keeps you alive. The survival instinct. If for example someone breaks into your home at night. You feel at first, a rush of fear, adrenaline, perhaps panic. But that will keep you moving and surviving. Without fear you would not even survive much. Not even as a child. Small children seem to always have the necessity to place themselves in mortal danger because they do not have fear of the stove, fire, an open window ten floors below. Is with their parents that learn that a hand in the stove burns you. A fire can cause a bigger fire that can harm. A fall of ten floors below will kill you.
Is fear that keeps you alive fundamentally. Anxiety is feeling that fear, and panic response without any stimulation that would merit feeling it.
If you have panic attacks. Suddenly you can react the same way you would react when been at your home in a fire. Or be chased by a lion or been about to be railed over by a trailer. That panic that is triggered by literally, anything at all. Or without any stimulus. For some is going out to buy groceries and is the so tremendous, and despeoportionate panic response. That is an example of what is anxiety.
And anxiety is one of the most, harmful and vast formation of mental disorders. See to PTSD and OCD for example. Desrealization and despersonalization, agoraphobia-You can name the whole chapter of the DSM V that are disorders caused by anxiety or co related to it.
Anxiety is not something that as is portrayed at the movie you can place aside in a chair. Or that is "Good" And only wants the best for you.
I think that inside out 2 can actually be quite harmful for adolescents and parents of children. Which if their child or themselves as children are experimenting anxiety. Instead of starting to go with psychiatric and psychological help, they would try themselves for control it. Is the same as trying to "really mean" to cure yourself from diabetes or cancer or schizophrenia for example.
Anxiety is a mental disorder. That needs attention as soon as possible, because as soon as is attended and recognized. The pronostica of the treatment will be better. Is one of the most debilitating mental disorders, and is because of how harmful and quickly can evolve. Is not of stigma to recognize that anxiety is a real mental disorder. And that is need of having care and attention, and never judge. Ir would be as judging someone for having an illness that is organic.
Anxiety is not an emotion! And of course not to the pathological extent is portrayed. Is something that does angry me, because Pixar does has a responsibility of creating a movie about well, the mins. As has a tremendous influence in the audience. And is directed to the whole family. I would rather said it angers me how they did not had any care in the creation of the movie.
In inside one 1. They had that responsibility in seriousness. Exposing that all emotions are good. Reprehending them and bottling them up. Of judging them as bad, is harmful. As happened with Sadness and Joy. But if recognizing them and giving them all their place. Of the support that is needed for all, and Riley experiencing essentially depression. But in the support of her parents. Overcoming it (After Riley escapes and returns) It does has that responsibility in a clear mind. But inside 2. I believe it can be very harmful.
0:50 Where did you get that wild robot figure‽‽‽
it’s a cup topper I got at the theaters 👀 there was also a brightbill one
Your art style is so cute what
ahhh thank you 💖
The only reason I didn’t like the movie initially was because anxiety was giving me anxiety… like I guess it’s a sign of good character design but the movie (and even watching clips from this video) make me physically uncomfortable
i overall loved the movie but i could not fucking stand that whole section with the "deepest darkest secrets/repressed emotions", it was infuriating and i skip i every time i rewatch lmfao
@@lucinfernos Why
4:03 I never noticed that before :0
What's the Animal Crossing song that keeps playing throughout the video? It sounds like a remix of Fallen Angel from Panty & Stocking but I can't find such a rendition on RUclips.
Anyway, I didn't end up watching Inside Out 2 because I knew I'd feel disconnected from it. I had a very abnormal teenagehood that had a massive traumatic surgery smack-dab in the middle of it, so these types of movies don't resonate with me as they would other people. It feels sorta isolating because I never had these experiences that were depicted in the Inside Out movies. All the negativity was amplified and I didn't have the friends to fall back on. My experience isn't nearly as common as that of the average person, so whatever lol, not every movie is made for everyone.
how did you get your hands on the japanese version? i really want to watch the dutch one because i'm learning the language
if there’s an official dub, it should be on Disney+ 👀 ngl it’s the only reason I’m still subscribed hehe
@@CarrieTooTired thanks! it's a shame disney+ doesn't work where i live, but thank you regardless, love your content btw
Wait whats the name of the song that gets covered at 33:25
I didn't want to watch the movie when it first came out, because I didn't want to ruin the boycotts efforts- tried watching it recently when my nephew was spending the night with me- but I'll be honest, watching Riley dealing with her anxiety just brought me back to my own memories of my own anxiety during middle school- and I had to stop watching it. I'm sure the movies great- but I don't think I'm ready to look back on my life rn 😅 Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the movie! Always enjoy hearing your opinions 🥰🥰🥰
Edit: The boycott I'm refering to is the one for Palestine btw 🙏 Just wanted to add that context in case people were wondering what I was talking about 🤝
I feel like you put into words exactly what I did not like about the movie
HELP WHAT IS THE FIRST SONG THAT PLAYS IN THE SECOND CHAPTER ITS SO GOOD
39:42 if I was offered 2% of someone's $5M salary, I would also not come back to work
Inside Out 2 honestly made me appreciate how tightly-written the first one was. Yeah it has a few hiccoughs but I sincerely believe that Inside Out 1 had no wasted scene.
The sequel on the other hand, while faster paced just feels like events happening at you. Like you said, the character progression was kinda hampered in this movie, and yeah I thought the new soundtrack was generic just like you did. Pretty disappointing sequel in my opinion.
Joy and anxiety in a rap battle
Reupload?
I think they're leaving a lot of details out for inside out 3 (at least I hope it gets acknowledged in the 3rd movie)
40:42 Thats funny, they think they can stop anyone? The art? The theories?
They failed at making Riley straight. I clocked her feelings the MOMENT she looked at Val. That was a look of gay.
Fujimoto my goat.
1:57 Ebisu?
Huh i thought you hadnt uploaded in like half a year. Turns out i didnt see your last like 3 uploads 🤔 idk if thats youtube shenanigans or not
dang youtube 🙃 at least you found more videos to watch now lol
ANDI MACK MENTION OHH IM SUBSCRIBING
whooo andi mack gang let’s goooo
Honestly, I didn't even notice the music score when watching this movie, so the soundtrack doesn't really bother me.
But that’s just it, in comparison to the first movie the soundtrack is incredibly drab, and pretty forgettable. I can only really remember 2 or three tracks from the movie that had a memorable tune. All the rest were forgettable.
I gotta disagree younger Ryle looked adorable in this movie
I mostly agree with your criticisms, but I feel like Riley's public panic attack needs to be mentioned. I once had a panic attack that lasted throughout my entire high school exam in Year 12, and nobody in the classroom saw or cared - teachers or students. I had to handle the circumstances on my own. As for the movie itself, Riley is now at an age where she's developing independence to the point of going on trips away from her parents. While she's anxious, she's now at a stage in her life where she's independent and is expected to do more on her own rather than still have adult/parental guidance.
So Riley having to experience panic attacks the same way I did, especially at a much younger age, is both personally resonating to me, and in line with her character.
Re-upload?
OMG WHERE DID U GET THE WILD ROBOT FIGURE?!??
