The first Inside Out was fine, not the best of Pixar films, but also not the worst. Since it’s about growing up, obviously there’s easy sequel material, needed or not. Im actually shocked it didn’t get Disney’s normal social messaging (I was fully expecting Riley to get a girlfriend - at minimum - in this). Weird that a movie not sexualizing a teen protagonist or making some LGBTQ+ statement feels like a win in this day and age.

Hey, most of us were dreading the likelihood that the young protagonist was going to be sexualized in some way. They probably had to massively shut down some aggressive Disney psychos to prevent it, but I am very, very happy they did.

Pixar's been going downhill ever since they forced John Lasseter out.

Happy Father’s Day

the "moral" of the story is that you should avoid "ignoring things you don't like", and embrace yourself, for all of who you are. you are not a good person, if you just choose to forget all the bad things you did. you are not a subset of what you have done, you are everything, put together (for better or worse).

Remember when Pixar wasn’t owned by Disney? Good times.

There's nothing wrong with them playing it a bit safe, but when you basically recreate the previous movie, just with more characters, that leaves the question of why it even exists. A few genuinely great scenes don't make a movie great on the whole

I get that hockey practice is low stakes, but I’d say that’s part of what made Anxiety such a great antagonist. She’s blowing every little thing out of proportion because that’s what anxiety does to you. When it takes control, it makes everything bigger and more significant than it actually is. Whether or not Riley makes a hockey team at a specific time isn’t a big deal, but anxiety makes life feel like a set of dominoes where the slightest error ruins everything. And by feeling it so strongly…….it becomes real to her, hence the panic attack.

For the mighty algorithm gods 🍻

I’m not at all surprised that a decision was made to play it safe and be as similar to the original as possible. Fans are rightly freaking out and ready to go to war over the number of franchises and IP’s that are getting torn to bits by maniacs who want to change everything. You are describing an overcorrection and an overreaction, but I totally see how it happened.

and this is pixar's last hope

People don't drink the sand because they're thirsty... they drink the sand because they don't know the difference!

Disney owns Pixar, so I have zero interest in anything they're making. Bc Disney is being run by horrible ppl. I know Disney has always been a company, run by horrible ppl. However their classic movies and shows I'll always watch. Bc the animation is top tier, and they were focused on entertaining ppl. Even if they were pushing a message, entertainment was at the forefront.

At least you watched this instead of the Acolyte because OMG if thought you hated Supergirl and Batwoman who knows what this show might make you want to do to yourself. So for at least your own sanity please don't watch it.

Im still worried for moana 2 since that was a series that was turn into a movie

This is the same issue with Incredible 2 which is a copy of the first one.

That's how I'm feeling. They better not do this with the third one. It better be something completely new, not just, "Oh, new emotions come in; old ones get kicked out. Old ones come back, and everybody's happy."

I forgot to add... One moral of the story is "joy can beat anxiety" and that is such a terrible message.

I do think Disney and Pixar (among others) could benefit from knowing when to leave good things be. It's sad that we've gotten to the point where I see something of genuine quality and often actually dread the idea of it becoming a franchise. If there's one film I STRONGLY wish had been left alone, it's The Incredibles. Leaving the future of that universe up to the imagination, in my opinion, was better than any story Pixar could follow up with (in video games or movies). Obviously, nothing can take away the first film. But, like it or not, the existence of subsequent media does affect a property's pop cultural identity in ways that can't be taken back. The moment you add to the original, you inevitably change at least some people's relationship with it. There's no escaping that, especially when it's a new canonical work. The original may remain beloved and additional media can be written off. But whatever effect it had (however brief & remote) is forever a part of that series' history even if you de-canonize it later. Even if Incredibles 2 had top tier talent at the helm (It didn't), I just fundamentally didn't see any benefit from a creative POV to continuing that mythology. I get that businesses want to make money. I also understand that a lot of people loved the 2004 original and desired for years to see more of those characters. It's human nature. I've never claimed to be above that and would NEVER shame someone for resonating with something. It should go without saying that fans are allowed to like the sequel. But society could benefit from learning that sometimes, the best way to show appreciation for something we love is knowing when to let it go out on top. Believing there's a point to continuing a story and having a plan for it is one thing. But literally everything about Incredibles 2 (plot, characters, themes, etc.) felt redundant to me and ultimately left an inferior impact. Sometimes, a cliffhanger ending is okay. Not every IP needs to answer everything before saying farewell.

No Acolyte review Thorias ??? everyone is reviewing this woke crap. It is comedy gold for you to review.

Happy Father's Day, and to all you non fathers out there, happy uncle's day 😂

I think I remember hearing about Any Poehler wanting to keep Inside Out going until Riley hits old age.

Its kinda funny that Disney is sayng that they want to play more safe and "mass appealing" Movies and not stuff like Luca or Turning red, like if the reason they didnt get movies waa.. I dont know, the fact that they reakeased them directly on Disney plus

So Pixar lost their touch

Plainly put, this is more akin to a DLC chapter Packaged as, then rather a sequel.

I took my kids and was scared to death i was going to have to deal with absurd lgbt messaging. Thank God that wasnt there.

Really kinda over pixar and all these 'feelings' in every single movie...

Well, my 12 year old step-son has unwarranted panic attacks, maybe the small stakes panic attack will hit kids that lose a sense of scale.

This definitely felt like a middle of three parts sequel.. The third part they will go all in

I definitely want an Incredibles 3 , the first one is my favorite Pixar movie

“It’s just the first movie again” that’s a good thing, this is a Disney movie, they could have ruined the first movie “The stakes are just a hockey game, who cares” Riley does and that’s all that matters

Did you forget the fact Riley was on the brink of losing her friends? That can leave an emotionally devastating hole in one's psyche, fundamentally altering who they see themselves as, especially in one's early teen years. I'd say that raises the stakes a bit. Also, when you think about what Riley was doing during the climax of each film, the first one had her getting on a bus, whereas the second saw her experiencing a full blown anxiety attack. The reason for her actions in the first may have been more extreme, but the sequel's visual intensity showcased both inside and out (heh) made for a far more emotionally resonant climax overall. I never had to move far away from home, but I know all too well what it's like to have a panic attack, and they hit it dead-on! It's a relatable situation that's more likely to affect more people. So, I'm going to have to disagree with you, man. Inside Out was excellent, but the sequel, in my honest opinion, outdid it in a lot of different ways.

Toy Story after the original were all basically t just a retelling of the original. Star Wars episodes 7-9 were just episodes 4-6 retold This is how Disney does sequels!!!

Apparently this movie actually did pretty good in the box office.

Pixar has a chance of coming back. But it needs to stop being it save and take risks again for that is how greatness is gained.

Thanks for reviewing a wide variety of movies.

At least this movie isn't woke, and it's had a HUGE opening, proving Disney's theory of people being groomed to watch Pixar's movies solely on Disney Plus WRONG!

How many new emotions show up in this movie ? I feel like it would be way much, much more for a teenager.

Question. When was the last time Disney made a movie starring a little white boy ? Just asking

Anxiety attacks are problematic.

Incredibles 3 is in the works :)

If it ain't broken don't fix it. Great movie.

It's weird but when I try to look up your vid using your channel name and the movie, nothing comes up. Can only access thru your channel

Excellent Review 👍

No acolyte review🤨💯👍

Hello Thorias, I hope you're feeling ok. I really liked your latest film review of Inside Out 2. while I wasn't a fan of the original. I think I will give this one a watch. :)

Considering what Disney Pixar has been doing lately with their beloved franchises, doing nothing particularly different is a refreshing step in the right direction. No DEI or woke messaging shoved down our throats with the subtlety of a sledgehammer is an actual improvement.

Saw this one last night. Yes the plot was very similar to the original. But overall I found it a cute movie and a fun time. No woke messaging whatsoever.

So, "The Force Awakens" playbook, then?

I've seen the good reviews, but this summarizes exactly why I don't want to see it. I liked the first movie, but it didn't need a sequel because any sequel is just going to repeat the first one.

Man……I want an Acolyte video lol

So Disney had to start make money somehow . This is a big win for normality ,This is a family movie about a young girl reaching puberty. This movie is not woke . So what it had a couple of woke elements like a girl wearing a rainbow sweater. The main character also had two sets of black and asian check mark friends . What it did not have is child grooming . When the main character reached puberty , she did not wont to change her pronouns; she did not all -over- a- sudden have feelings for the same sex ; she did not run to her parents saying that she wants to transition into a dude ; also no gays swapping spit . This is the second of two movies in a row without the woke agenda. The first was " Bad boys" , a movie that was just an old fashioned action movie with two straight black men full of testosterone , what Hollywood hates , and calls it toxic Masculinity. So the Anti -Woke -crowd won two big battles but not the war , Plus the media can now stop lieing about movies bombing because of streaming ; the strikes; movie tickets ; the price of Popcorn ; covid ; or the weather . if Hollywood puts out movies with a decent story and no wierdo agenda .... " If they dont Go Woke then they wont Go Broke

AY UP THORIAS

So is it the same as the first or not? I’m getting mixed messages from different KZfaqr reviews.

Day 6 of asking Thorias to review ranger reject.

Dude you must have pissed off KZfaq because I never get a notice when you videos go up

I'm disappointed I was waiting for Acolyte review from you!!!

I liked it man. As a brown person that grew up playing hockey the only thing i didnt like was the forced diversity hockey team. I played for 15 years and only met one other brown person and he was adopted by two white people. But other than that it was even better than the first one.

Pixar is a "brain off" movie. They do need a decent story but the majority of the time is waiting for the characters to be funny. The story can't really be more mature than the target audience.

Bro was js shirt talking the movie. I feel like everyone is glazing the first inside out too much. The only sad thing that happened was bingbong. And Riley running away in the first movie was unrealistic and weird

l

okay, but rainbow shirt =/= Gay, just saying. the cult don't own the rainbow

Tbf inside out 2 was great

So you are trying to have people relate about real experiences empathy seems woke

Just like all Hollyweird nothing new

It’s definitely not the same mate

The first movie sucked. My least favorite pixar movie of all time. Teenage angst 2 looks just as bad

"Pixar has lost its touch" *Casually collecting 90+% ratings on rotten tomatoes.*
