disney just trowing things at the screen and hoping it works bro 😭😭

I swear, if Frozen 3 or 4 will ruin Elsa or Anna, I will not consider either of the third or fourth movies as canon.

3:24 Bro imagine saying you are not black enough to a person of mixed race because genes. This is like a 180 of what tolerance was suposed to be 😢

As someone who loved Inside Out 2, I wish they gave Nostalgia and Lance Slashblade more screen time and other attributions to the film.

I liked soul and Luca. Disney + and streaming services are taking away from movie theaters In which Soul and Luca could've done well at the box office. As for movie theaters themselves. I do miss the ushers as some people are just really rude these days. Went to see minus 1 and there were a group of kids who would. NOT SHUT UP. Like it was so bad when some of them went to go to the restroom in the middle of the movie. Another audience member said. "and don't come back."

While I haven't seen Inside Out 2, Disney/Pixar shouldn't be afraid to be more experimental with their films; instead of playing it safe. Maybe even try doing films with smaller budgets

Emotions themselves are neither good nor evil. There are only positive or negative reactions to emotions.

I still think that Anxiety looks like a rejected Fraggle and just reminds me how poorly the Henson company has been doing since Jim kicked off his mortal coil.

Inside Out 2 is a double edge sword 1 side being a huge winner Pixar but on the other side it can encourage them to make sequels but I would of love to see Lightyear was more of a remaining to Buzz Lightyear in Star Command but Pixar refuse to acknowledge it despite being a good series

There is a 100% chance corporate Disney will take away the wrong lessons from the success of Inside Out. Good vid.

My explanation for why the parents don't have the other emotions is that the reason that Riley has them in the main office, is that she is a teenager. She isn't developed yet, her mindscape is still building out, changing and evolving. Aka, all of the emotions, negative and positive, are situated in one place at one time and all vying for control. With anxiety being such a control freak, due to teenagers usually falling prey to anxiety, and having it take control over their life (and bottling up emotions). The parents in their adult minds, are way more structured. I imagine that if we were to expand them out a bit, we would see the parents minds as "ranked offices" if that makes sense? The core emotions in the main office, and branching out to the other ones, ranked dependant on how strong they are within said individual. that is why we find that the dad still has anxiety in his main office, as he maybe struggled (and still do) with it in the past, so anxiety is around the corner. That is just my interpretation of course, it is more liekly they didn't think about it that well.

I think you’re onto something. Pixar needs to return to form and become innovative again.

I PRAY that the success of Pixar's "Inside Out 2" motivates Disney to develop deeper stories for "Zootopia" and the "Frozen" sequels.

getting rid of a character because they represent anger management problems and body image issues...? WHAT THE HELL?! WHY?! That's a good thing, that's a flawed character that makes people face similar issues emphasize and feel represented

Given this review I kind of want to see it now. I think it’s sad that we are only getting like one or two good movies from Pixar and Disney while the rest are just absolute flops. Great review!

There is a lot of work to do in order to restore Pixar & Disney alike to their former glory.

Hopefully they learn that a good movie can be anything, instead of trying to find a "formula" to rehash constantly.

Disney is forcing Pixar & Walt Disney Animation to make more sequels over original movies after Inside Out 2 massive success which is a shame!

I don't think the personal stories are so much the problem as much as who those personal stories belong to. It's tough to admit but not everyone's personal experiences are particularly engaging or exciting to watch, and when they're being told by people that might care more about it reflecting their own perspectives rather than using their experiences as a vehicle for an original narrative it can come across as fairly boring or even annoying and self indulgent. Everyone might have some stories to tell but not everyone has an exciting life. That's just how it is.

7:01 That can be explained by simply saying that they're not the main emotions. The new emotions are more complex and only are there for specific situations, but things like Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger or Disgust are emotions we feel basically on our everyday. So even though the others aren't present in the parents minds, they're still around.

I watched Inside Out 2 in theaters with my nephews and niece. I enjoyed it, despite the cringe of accurate teenager behavior aside. I will say that I don’t know if I agree with you viewing Joy as the the only “positive” emotion compared to the rest because it’s less about which is a positive or negative emotion to have but rather what emotion is needed for a specific moment. Anger is for expressing injustice, fear and disgust keeps you safe physically and socially. Plus the reason for Saddness was the whole point of the first movie because they aren’t necessarily bad emotions to have as long as they aren’t overindulged.

With all due respect, most of these personal stories are too niche or can't even held a single candle when compared to old pixar films like Wall E, Monsters Inc, French Rat movie, and Toys story 1-3.

At least Elemental Managed to recover after Word of Mouth spread.

they don't need sequels. They just need good, entertaining movies... bad sequels can flop just as bad as any horrible movie

Surprising to learn about that behind the scenes "no promoting/hiring white dudes" bit. Well not SURPRISING, all things considered, but y'know what i mean. But yeah with the "personal vs generalized story" thing. I guess as Inside out shows, the key is a balance, but for the ones that do lean more towards personal, maybe they should lower expectations and understand they'll likely only be really impacting a relatively nicher audience, idk. Like, i dont NEED every piece of entertainment to be a relatable parallel to my own personal life, but at the same time I'm not going to go out of my way to watch like, Turning Red as someone that isn't an Asian Canadian girl going through puberty or whatever its about. And from what i hear Turning Red doesn't really have a hook beyond conveying that specific experience. So it comes back again to what you mentioned about striking a good balance and incorporating personal experience well into the writing, or maybe just leaving it as an inspiration and not making it the plot in and of itself. Idk.

I do like anxiety’s character design makes me think of French cartoons!

I think you forgot to mention that there are scenes from the film that Sadness has a crush on Embarrassment and Embarrassment was the 1st new emotion to stop following Anxiety's plan to hurt Riley even further.

Disney is losing hard

This turns out to be more of an Inside Out 2 review rather than about Disney/Pixar self sabotage.

A really good fan explanation on why the new emotions aren't present in the adults is because unlike Riley, they have learnt how to control and decide their emotions, all the core members on the control panel aren't a complete stereotypical representation of that emotion, instead all complementing each other. Anxiety and the others is present in their minds, but they take a backseat and don't hold much power and control over their actions. But that's a fan fix for this particular plot hole, lets be honest pixar probably didn't think that far ahead for a sequel to a movie they made 9 years ago

While Inside Out 2 isn't a bad movie by any stretch, I did feel kind of disappointed by it because the plot was way too similar to the first film, with the main theme boiling down to, once again, needing to live alongside positive and negative emotions rather than focusing too much on one or the other. It's certainly the best Pixar film we've gotten in a while, but I don't love it. There's too many missed opportunities, especially with the new emotions like you said.

I really liked Inside Out 2, I thought the new emotions were interesting and voiced well, especially Anxiety, who I thought was a good antagonistic figure for the movie. I also thought the new cast for some of the old characters did a good job sliding right in for the others and in some case doing better. I also like that this was a sequel that didn't destroy continuity or character development like many others do and it also felt like a sequel that deserved to be made, because the human mind is constantly evolving, even long after the brain stops growing, so this allows a lot of wiggle room for a sequel to be made, and I think focusing on one of the most turbulent times for one's life. The step backs this movie takes for me is that I wish they did more with Riley and the others, as in more scenes with the human characters, and I felt that the concept of puberty starting to change Riley felt a tad underutilized. But my absolute favorite parts of the movie include Joy saying maybe this is what happens, you feel less joy when you grow up, the I'm not good enough sense of self kicking in, the 1984 reference with the imagination land, the anxiety attack scene, and the mixed sense of self being created. Overall I think this is a great movie, and one that I really resonate with watching it as an adult.

I really hope they compare inside out 2 to lightyear and not luca or turning red and they realize it's the quality of the movie not the IP it's a part of that'll make or break it anymore Inside out 2 is breaking records while lightyear was seen by tens of people and even fewer stayed awake through for the whole thing

It's intentional at this point, I'd say. And good riddance. (Stop censoring and removing my reply, yt)

Inside Out 2 saved the big screen more than what Disney was doing for a while. It shows that Pixar never gives up on its films and tries to get back up again for the audience to see their favorite movies!!! I hope they can continue this path and make sure not to mess up again 🙏

…So as someone who LOVED Inside out and Inside Out 2, I hope the studios don’t just bank on sequels… …But you know… I mean if they just kept making Inside Out movies… that are just as good… wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world…… portray a lot of things like heartbreak, marriage, dealing with loss…

I heard Inside Out 2 was getting all this praise for actually being good and I want to believe that statement, but at the same time I am skeptical. The critical and box office success of Inside Out 2 could lead to Disney/Pixar making the wrong decisions such as "sequels are good" and not "movies with well-written stories and pacing are good"

Buzz lightyear was so boring. Plus it's interesting how they made a movie, saying this was the original film Andy saw. When Buzz lightyear was based off of action heroes like Flash Gordan. With an article saying that the movie directors where unaware that there was another Buzz Lightyear movie. Which was really good. (If you like Lightyear, that's good.)

Yeah all we want is good stories and sometimes disney needs to try something new and take risk & take there time then rushing or ruining a story

It’s not that big of a deal when a sequel to a fan favorite flops horribly they will shift back to originals again this happens a lot in the industry

Personal films like Luca are alright, but they need to mix it up and right now after wish. They need to take a bit of a risk. Do what they originally did go in get lunch for an hour and brainstorm like crazy.

I keep hearing good things about Inside Out 2, but I still feel nothing. I have no care to check it out, I have no desire to feel excited, I simply don’t care anymore. That says a lot about how bad it’s been, I can’t even bother to get my hopes up and check out this new film. It doesn’t matter if it’s overhyped or genuinely good, part of me thinks “it’s lightning in a bottle, this changes nothing”. I’ve never felt so apathetic towards anything. It’s almost impressive, and it genuinely worries me.

My biggest dissapointement in this movie is that Nostalgia is never used , she could have been very interesting at the end but nope , she is shoved back in her room by Anxiety

So Inside out 2 was a good movie with a good story and it's doing well at the box office......What a twist. No its just par for the course. People will go out to see a good movie. Movie theaters will sell out these days if they have a anime movie feature. Plus they've been doing box office classics.

You know, I would of loved to see a House of Mouse movie vs Wish for the 100 year anniversary

It’s obvious that all four companies had a really big downfall, and three still are having it. But Pixar might just make a comeback.

Companies will keep milking out sequels until we stop spending our money to see them

I heard Inside Out 2 was pretty good, so at least it was a good movie doing well at the box office. I don't think Disney will learn the right lessons, though, and think "Sequels sell" rather than "Good movies sell".

I just went to see Inside Out 2 the other day and I adored it! As a teen that is currently navigating puberty this was extremely relatable, and in my opinion, an even better movie than the first one - though I might just think that because I haven't seen Inside Out 1 in a while. Also my personal head cannon as to why the cast of emotions from the sequel aren't present in the parent's brain for most of the second movie and the whole first movie is because when kids get to adolescence their emotions become more complex and diverse (creating the new characters we see in Riley's head), and because that change is sudden they juggle all these emotions at once not really knowing how to handle them, but as they get older they learn to control these secondary emotions that were seen in the second movie thus the emotions becoming less used and therefore only popping up at headquarters occasionally (as seen in the case of Riley's parents).

I think the big test to this will be Pixar’s next film Elio since that will be original. Let’s see how that does

0:51 I actually quite enjoyed 'Lightyear', and i don't get why it flopped

Agree with you 100% on that last point. I'm not saying that it wouldn't be cool for her to cameo in another film/series, but Pixar gave Riley an emotionally beautiful ending, let her story end there.

I really liked Inside out 2, it had me balling when her new sense of self had conflicting thoughts. But I disagree with what you said in 5:30 The entire point of Inside Out is that no emotions are "negative." Heck in the very first scene we see anger motivate Riley to score a goal, fear remind her to wear a mouth guard, and disgust stop her from using someone else's own. Even anxiety was only negative because she put wayy too much pressure on Riley, when she should've simply been a voice of caution to potential future events. Our emotions are neither positive or negative, it's letting them determine our actions that can have positive or negative effects on our lives.

I still cannot get over the fact that even a glimpse of the concept is a whole lot better than the whole movie

I agree with most of this, except I personally didn't have a problem with how envy was used because I think that's the intention. Like envy was a lot more subtle, she'd often fuel anxiety (E.g. Like with the notebook, she'd bounce off of anxiety and just make her worry even more) and I think that's more realistic - feelings of envy are often subtle, and I like the way that her effect on Riley was more subtle in that she'd just feed into anxiety's anxiety.

turning red and luca was actually good though

The thing is with the emotions they’re only negative if you let them run wild and consume you, in small doses they can be positive or at least have a positive impact on you

I honestly loved the movie, it expanded greatly upon the original movies concepts, and I loved the progress of Riley coming into her own more not letting her emotions control her as much anymore and allow her to make her own choices. The Original had some too but not as much the most definite being Anger saying “She took it” after giving Riley the idea of running away showing the ultimately Riley has final say on all choices she makes

fun fact : this movie made me cry because I can relate

People love personal story handled well, not those with spite or preachy. But the corporate will just see this as a chance to make sequels.

Late stage capitalism is killing art

I was 6 days too late to watch the English version of the movie (in theatres) so I had to watch Inside out 2 in a language that I did not understand. I tried to understand what was happening via the snippets of the movie that I had seen on yt before hand, and the vibes of the scene. I definitely missed a lot of the movie but it was enough to quell my curiosity.

I loved inside out 2. In excited for the coming films, and I loved elemental (unpopular opinion surprisingly) Pixar still makes good movies. I feel like people saying Pixar is trash is kinda just wrong and people hating too much.

I am starting to think who ever is running Disney now is doing all it can to watch it crumble. Like they have a personal reason to watch them fumble and die out. I don't know. I just think its ridiculous how they went from "Keep Moving Forward" to "Oh we cant hurt anyone's feelings."

6:58 that’s probably because adults can deal with emotions a bit easier than someone Riley’s age so they’re not there

I surprisingly enjoyed Inside out 2. I was cracking up when Bloopy showed up

5:30 well Nostalgia also shows up for a few seconds. Granted nostalgia is more of a bittersweet feeling, at least to me

This makes me so sad and happy at the same time.

4:45 "And then there's Lightyear, which is kinda boring. No offense". No. All of the offense, please.

I just noticed that Anxiety looks like an ugly version of Red Fraggle...

I feel-no believe-that Disney and Pixar will take the wrong lesson of the success of Inside Out 2 and think the audiences wants more sequels instead of original movies. Not seeing that no one wants any more sequels to pre-existing movies like Frozen 3 & 4 as a huge example. And it’s sad that when they do make an original film, the story doesn’t feel like how Disney use to be before their pandering

oh absolurtely i loved inside out 2

Wait inside out 2 came out already? I actually totally missed it.

Why do people keep saying that Pixar is only making sequels going forward? There's Ellio coming and the Duck movie coming. They even said every other movie will be original.

I'm Dwight D Eisenhower and I support this message.

I'm guessing that not all the emotions are at the terminal which is why we didn't see Anxiety and the others in the parent's mind. They were probably somewhere else.

Disney and Pixar will sacrifice themselves to make the fans shine their creativity. Pray for Pixar and Disney to make movies and TV shows good like Cars 4, Frozen 3 and 4, more.😔🙏

ngl there should be an inside out 3 where it shows rileys college life, and her college graduation would end the trilogy

5:41 idk bro i had this "new" emotions when I was a lil boy, i least i don't have anxiety anymore

The pandemic has had many after-effects, especially in the Entertainment industry. Because no one could come to the movie theaters and the many streaming services, there are not many people who really go to the movies anymore. The gaming industry is doing even worse but in a different way the Pandemic actually made gaming grow but it happened so fast that game companies not called Nintendo couldn't keep up with the Demand for video games and now almost all video games are Unfinished and are way too expensive to make and take far too long to make

Inside out 2 was a okay film that had it’s flaws and straights, but I understand what your saying it felt like it wasn’t weighted down by disneys political, progressive or corporate side and felt rather genuine despite me not being a fan of the new emotions and etc. And in general i think Disney's gonna eat well especially with deadpool, Moana 2 and mufasa. Tho I hope they learn something from this and don’t pump out sequels that Pete doctor was eluding too.

3:00 isn't that racism?

This might be a step in the right direction for Disney/Pixar, but it's gonna have to take them a lot more time and effort to win my favor back.

They really struck gold with inside out. I could easily watch a 3rd n 4th. Its thought provoking. I love how envy and anxiety work togerher the control your desire.

I wish soul was in the movie theatre at the time it came out. I would of actually gone to see it.

Inside Out lends itself well for sequels, same with The Incredibles. I hope they stop making Toy Story sequels. They probably just doing it because they opened Toy Story Land at different Disney Parks so they have to keep the franchise new and make people want to keep going to it.

Actually Nostalgia is also a positive emotion but u fortunately she was one that was shelved. Had she been involved in this movie more, the second film would’ve been avoided all together since Riley would’ve been too melancholy to desert her friends. I wouldn’t say all the other emotions are all negative either, a couple of them are more neutral. Plus you could say that a couple of the emotions can be known by multiple names like Ennui who is also known by Boredom. Kind of like how Envy could also be known as Ambition. I’d say sadness is a neutral emotion as well.

I am not going to see the movie, because I really don't like the idea of the new emotions. They introduced the concept at the end of the first movie where the 5 core emotions combining to make new feelings, and the new feelings they personify kind of makes that concept pointless

I'm not really a huge fan of the original Inside Out and y'know what? I'm actually glad that people seem to be saying the sequel is good and actually worth watching. Pixar as of late hasn't really had the best track record with movies, let alone sequels. Incredibles 2 comes to mind as I find that to be probably one of the biggest failures that pixar has made. Sure, other movies were received better, but Incredibles 2 has FAR less excuses for it to be bad.

Well said.

I love how nearly everyone loved the concept art of wish instead of the wish we got, which was shit

The movie was good. Perfect? no, but it did what it needed to. Why were the new emotions not present in the adults? yeah, the meta answer "they werent thought up in the first movie" is the simplest, but there are other options that could be explored if the series gets more movies on the same quality tier as these 2. Melding into the main 5, mostly losing them as you grow older and stop defining your worth by the way other people perceive you, etc. I mean, the new emotions do play the "we are more complex than you" card, so the first option makes sense in terms of showing up because they are needed for that stage of development before instead becoming the representation of specific team ups between the main 5. Anxiety remains a special case simply because it is so powerful and persistent that it never fully goes away, only gets kept under control. Evolution of fear? sure, but anxiety is a bit more than just that; you can rationalize fear, anxiety often works at a level beyond rationalization. The latter option is a bit simpler to explain, but harder to go into detail. Teen years are the time one is most vulnerable to social pressures as what defines a person starts getting tangled into what others think of that person, as an adult, that social pressure lessens as one discovers who they are and stops defining by the views of those around them. In the terms of the movie's universe, embarrassment is a teenage emotion that fades into momentary shame as an adult, able to be squashed with rationalizations and self-affirmations.

Isn't one of the points of inside out literally that they aren't all "negative emotions"

Yeah I'm concerned about there being too many Inside Out sequel's now too. 3 would be plenty

3:00 i thought we left this in 2020, no wonder disney's movies have been absolute garbage

I would have been better for us if the movie hadn't been a sucess: Nothing personal, it felt cute and all! But now they are somehow blaming any movie that is not a sequel! 😢

Honestly I hate the new emotions and feel that they're completely unnecessary. Especially Anxiety. The moment I saw that little orange abomination I was honestly repulsed and was even more disturbed to find out that Anxiety wasn't alone. First of all, Anxiety is just another form of Fear as is Embarrassment. Envy could be escribed to Anger, since Anger cares about things being fair. And Ennui?....seriously that one just feels forced. (had to look that one up) Two, the first film firmly established that everybody gets FIVE emotions, even cats and dogs! Yes I suppose they could had been off screen this whole time in other minds that we see, but that's a bit of a stretch. Especially when in the end we see the new emotions working in conjunction with the original five that we were first introduced to. Third, this whole plot is once again exploring what the first film covered. How we need negative emotions now and then for various reasons. And the plot opens up with them shooting negative memories off into the distance having apparently forgotten the previously mentioned. Keep in mind I've only read the synopsis of the plot, but combined with the new character designs, premise and set up, it's enough to make me give this film a hard pass. Some times it's just better to trust your gut and to stay clear of an iceberg if you see certain signs. Now I won't lie, I may be a little bias here. Disney these days I feel has backstabbed and insulted it's audience left and right. And I'm not in too big of a hurry to give it any of my money.

3:09 this is pure reverse racism and it sould not being prized

Elemental 💀

When a friend of mine invited me to see the movie, I had a good time
