To say I love this movie is an understatement. Better than the first in my opinion (although both are good). Can't wait to watch!

I love this movie. It really helped me explain and help my daughter who, at 9, occasionally lets anxiety control the way she interacts with friends and the pressures of school. Together, we can identify the feelings that are holding her back from enjoying her world and say, "Hey, brain, let's take a chill pill right now. I'm fine, I'm safe, and I will be ok if I let myself." And, truthfully, it's helped me say the same thing to myself. Thanks for the reaction!

First, you missed the after credits scene, but you can see it here - https://youtu.be/8MrZB1NzRuA?si=X7YfCosdFiiFEnwl Love this so much! It maybe errs too much on the side of complicated, but that suits the older version of Riley. I love that Anxiety is the antagonist but not really the villain, because our anxiety *can* be useful, as we see at the end. The panic attack is one of the most incredible and mature scenes in any Pixar movie. It's so cool you watched this on the same day you returned to Ted Lasso, because this movie has a lot in common with the mental health storylines on that show. I also love that the emotions are more complex -- Joy gets angry, Anger has a soft side, etc. I agree, I'm not sure an adult version of this universe would work. What we've seen of the adults' emotions, they seem a lot more homogenous and not as much in competition with one another, which is nice for being a grown-up, but there's not nearly enough conflict/drama for a story.

I liked the first movie, and there were moments that got me tearing up, but it wouldn't be in my top 5 Pixar movies. In the first movie Riley was more the setting of the story than a character in it. Joy and Sadness had solid character arcs but their arcs were dependent on Riley while Riley wasn't much more than a metaphor for their story and vice versa. The sequel shows Riley much more as a full person, and not just because she's older now but because I think the writers figured out a better balance between anthropomorphizing a character's emotions and that character still being a full person with agency. In the first one when Riley went too far in one emotional direction it was because of a literal plot point of the emotions' story, in this one the emotions are more representations of the swirl of emotions inside this real person's head while still being characters themselves.

That's a really good distinction between the two films! Riley was absolutely a more dynamic, independent person in the sequel.

Dang it! I thought we had caught the only post-credit scene. Thanks for sharing!

In real-world context this was seen as the movie that put Pixar back on top, at least for a bit. I quite liked Onward, Soul, Luca, and Turning Red, but they weren't as commercially or critically successful, and then Lightyear and Elemental flopped and the perception was they had been on a slump after Coco (definitely one of my top 5) and Toy Story 4 (maybe unnecessary after 3 which was the perfect conclusion to the series and one of my favorite movies ever, but 4 is still a great movie in its own right).

Disabled person here. Thank you to whoever recently chose Crip Camp for the Movie List!

I can relate to being kept awake at night by anxiety but I've never had a panic attack, but there are people in my life who have and from what I've been told this really captured what it feels like.

Superior sequel, Pixar just knocks it out of the park. This movie makes me feel so anxious though. Which is obviously the point but it feels so real.

I have them regularly, and yes. Riley clutching her chest was a good touch because it VERY MUCH feels like you're having a heart attack, plus the erratic breathing and the blood pumping in her ears. I once had one so bad that I flooded by body with far too much oxygen and my hands completely seized up, like full-on paralysed, it was terrifying.

Jamie Morgan

I would love a Toy Story-esque series for Inside Out, watching their kid as she grows up. You could easily get another 4 or 5 movies out of that - 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 are WILDLY different ages even though they're only a year apart! And honestly, I think a few adult versions could work, we could have one set in her college years, one set in her career and one set in her building her own family. It's not like Pixar is averse to exploring adulthood - Soul, The Incredibles and Up all did that brilliantly.

Jamie Morgan

Honestly, it helped me when I was 35!

Jeremy Burch

I will admit, although I thought the first movie was well done, it was never one of my favorites, but this one, this one I love. As someone who deals with Anxiety, this one got to me.

Nannette

I always thought I had seen this movie, turns out I hadn’t. This was brand new to me. And geez it was so stressful! I don’t think this movie is for me, I didn’t enjoy it. BUT that’s not the same as it being bad, so credit where credit is due. Good movie, just not my cup of tea

Man, I remember watching this in theaters and that ending with anxiety saying she was just trying to help Riley really hit home. I was sobbing in the theater in such a cathartic way. It felt like the most wonderful way to contextualize and accept anxiety. Still gets me in the feels even more than the first one! I feel this one is so underrated. <3 What a wonderful exploration of emotion!!

Youtalkingtome

Right? I think that would be incredible. No pun intended

Youtalkingtome

It was very stressful at times. I think I will be able to really enjoy it more the second time around
