How Anxiety Nearly Destroyed INSIDE OUT 2

We've all likely seen that Inside Out 2 is in theaters, it's breaking box office records and captivating hearts and emotions across the country. Or perhaps we've seen the original Inside Out and we have Inside Out 2 on our list for the long holiday weekend coming up. I went and saw Inside Out 2 in the theaters and had to create a reacts video to the film, because I had to dive deeper into Anxiety as a therapist. So I created an Inside Out 2 reaction video. If you're unfamiliar, Anxiety is a character in the film voiced by Maya Hawke. As a therapist, I've seen many patients who have struggled with anxiety for much of their life and it's an emotion that continues to drive their life. So how did the creators of Inside Out 2 do in representing this important anxiety emotion? Let's react to this and dive in to find out...

More on Inside Out 2:
The little voices inside Riley’s head know her inside and out-but next summer, everything changes when Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” introduces a new Emotion: Anxiety. According to director Kelsey Mann, the new character promises to stir things up within headquarters. “Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, might be new to the crew, but she’s not really the type to take a back seat,” said Mann. “That makes a lot of sense if you think about it in terms of what goes on inside all our minds.” A trailer, poster and film stills are now available for what promises to be the feel-good (or feel-everything) film of Summer 2024.
Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone. Maya Hawke lends her voice to Anxiety, alongside Amy Poehler as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Tony Hale as Fear, and Liza Lapira as Disgust. Directed by Kelsey Mann and produced by Mark Nielsen, “Inside Out 2” releases only in theaters Summer 2024.

@Leoo117 10 күн бұрын

@Furkan-yv5ew Well, anxiety is going to come up for us sometimes due to some kind of fear that comes up. That scene at the end represents how we must accept that about ourselves, look at anxiety as our body telling us there is something that we need to address, instead of looking at it like an enemy that must be repressed, and do some introspection about WHY we feel anxious, then take the appropriate steps to calm our anxiety, or relax it in an armchair. So, anxiety is important to listen to because it means there is something we need to address. Now, making decisions from our anxiety and letting it run the show is when it becomes bad for us, which is why we need to appropriately address the reason for it and calm it down.

@Furkan-yv5ew 10 күн бұрын

@@Leoo117 so can we think anxiety like a parent getting anxious about us when we don't do our homework or stuff for example. So I think that anxiety is a thread to the body. A thread that needs to calm down. Future threads only themselves doesn't feel like a thread even if it can really effect our life. But anxiety can be even painfull so its a very big thread. I think the message is "Anxiety awares you of future threads and if you don't listen to it for a long time you will suffer from its control." . As i mensioned earlier it realy is like an adult getting anxious about you. And if you don't pay attantion it will punish you. Do you think punishments to children reduce the use of anxiety on themselves? Is it the reason when parents get very dominant they do anything they want when they get free? Is it because of the loss of anxiety?(Btw sorry for any grammar mistake. I'm not a native speaker.)

Great point! In the first movie we see that when memories are "forgotten" they are sucked up and dumped into that big pit and turn grey. It's clear in this movie that the memories that have been sent to the back of the mind are different. Riley can still remember them, but Joy is trying to make sure she doesn't.

I have GAD and saw the movie recently, that panic attack scene with Anxiety stuck and tearing up to then say she was just trying to help Riley made my eyes well up because of how relatable it was. The sense of self saying "I'm not good enough" resonated with me a lot.

@pixelpup9107 8 күн бұрын

I read someones comment from somewhere else where they brought up how in the first movie at the end Joy told Sadness that "Riley needs you", where in the second movie Sadness told Joy "Riley wants you". I think it shows how as we mature and grow our emotions dont control us anymore, rather we control our emotions and make decisions based on our sense of self that we have developed. I also liked how when anxiety tried to force Riley to abandon her friends at first Riley actually refused to do it because her sense of self was "Im a good person" and "im a good friend" and Joy even stated that Riley wouldnt do that because thats not who she is. This movie was great I could talk about it for hours 😅

@tmell0608 6 күн бұрын

I like how in the end scenes in the mom’s brain, her Sadness says, ‘welcome back anxiety’ when she realizes that Riley is hitting puberty. As a mom of a 13 year old I totally felt that - like the mom worked hard to either get rid of her anxiety or regulate it and when her daughter hits all these emotions and she’s trying to help navigate and guide her through it, her anxiety returns.

@chelsiesp7949 11 күн бұрын

Is it still too soon to mention nostalgia? She was in my daughter's top 3 favorite characters from the movie! I love this series too for all the reasons Kati mentioned. I wanted to reach through the screen and give Riley a hug, both films made me cry. That line Joy said about growing up felt like a punch in the stomach. My 5 year old had so many questions about Inside Out, she experiences anxiety already. We talked about Riley grounding with her senses and practiced it. I think older generations were encouraged to ignore "bad" emotions, push through, and put on a joyful face. It's awesome that we are giving younger generations a better emotional understanding.

I swear, we went to see that movie yesterday, and it touched home for me in so many ways. Rylee being so hard on herself, I’m constantly hard on myself. For me, the only difference is that I find myself saying things like, “I’m not allowed to feel that way. It’s not ok for me to cry. I’m not allowed to do this even though I’m not hurting anyone and it benefits me, society says that it’s not ok.” But in all reality, I want to be myself, I love myself unconditionally when I’m my true authentic self.

Went to see this 3 times and cried each time! Really noticed that sadness played the role of hero in both movies, helping Bing Bong in the first one when Joy tried to repress her. In the second, after Joy started the trouble by getting rid of memories, it was sadness that was chosen to go back and try to stop anxiety and bring the others back. Interesting part of Riley’s personality that Joy creates chaos while sadness helps so much to regulate

@veronicapiccinini7956 7 күн бұрын

Because Sadness is the emotion that generates Empathy. Without it, you won’t feel remorse nor regret. Joy is a more “selfish” emotion, because of you want to bring smiles in people’s faces or do what you like because you want to feel good about yourself. And for “selfish”, I mean both positive (self-esteem, self-reassurance) and negative (naivety, insensitivity, obliviousness)

@tourmalinestar 9 күн бұрын

My take on the parents' driving emotions is this. Anger can be tied to protectiveness, in the way a father is traditionally alert for threats to the family. Sadness is tied to empathy, in the way that a mother is traditionally always alert to her family's emotional needs. My kids and I talked about it and that's what we think about that little tidbit, anyway.

@nomnom137 9 күн бұрын

One tidbit I really liked related to what you said about the parents’ emotions. At the end of the film, we still see all the new emotions actively working with the core emotions in Riley. However, we only see the five core, plus Anxiety, in her parents, but not the rest. And when her mom’s Anxiety pops in, her Sadness warmly says, “Welcome back, Anxiety”. Is this an implication that other complex emotions come and go as people grow up and they become less potent? Is it related to how we develop emotionally into adults? I actually like that they kept it ambiguous and really hope they explore it in a third film.

“The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives? When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater." But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your table, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.” -Kahlil Gibran

You're comparing other artistry to hers. That's basically comparing brand of shoe to her troubles in self esteem. It's important but not everyone will have the best of everything. People will throw out wads of cash for this illusion, and 1000% quality over quantity. It takes one to know after all. BUT! That aside you can't beat knowledge if you're aligned with your sense of self. Anxiety will push you away from greatness, all the while it was in you to begin with. That's why we have academic programs, safety measures, ect. Confidence is a land mark success is a destination.

The thing is, when someone talks about “Repression”, everyone starts to think that it’s a coping mechanism that is triggered only by a very traumatic experience (like being groomed by your uncle, watching your pet killed by a car, surviving a crossfire in the middle of a war…) But in this movie, as far as we can see, most of her “bad memories” aren’t particularly traumatic, they are more like “mundane hiccups” that can happen to everyone everyday (like forgetting a person’s name, committing a foul in a game, not passing an exam…)

I really think that this amazing movie has a big impact. At least to me, i cried all the time because it was like i was watching me, that happens all the time and anxiety has a really huge impact in my life...

I love the way you explained how anxiety works. I have Generalised Anxiety Disorder and when I feel anxious everything else just stops and all I can feel is anxiety.. It's so true that anxiety suppresses all other emotions because we're so terrified of the future and we don't know what to do with that, all we can do is cry to release the fear. In terms of imagination, I can't imagine things in my minds eye but I can think of and create places that bring me peace, like living in the woods with a cabin sitting a rocking chair an looking into the forest because of how beautiful nature is to me, I still have that because imagination brings me peace. Anxiety really is a powerful emotion and it really can take over and the movie did such a good job of depicting that, I really appreciate you explaining this, you did it so clearly and it made a lot of sense to me!! Thank you! 💕💕🤗🙏

Recently, I was watching Sixth Sense reaction videos on KZfaq. Mostly I just watch people watch the final two scenes. People start the film expecting horror. They finish the film feeling grief and love, often deeply moved to tears. One of the best horror / thriller movies of all time is also one of the best love stories of all time- the love between a mother and son and between a husband and wife. I love that juxtaposition.

Something that was really hard for me to deal with growing up and becoming an adult after teenage years was the fact that was mentioned in the movie that " it is harder to feel joy as you grow up .The messages this movie gives where amazing , and it's great that there are still good kids' movies out there like this!

Kati- I love the way you explain that we need to accept all of our emotions and allow ourselves to understand them. Keep doing what you're doing, we're all better off because of it🥰

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was the analysis that I needed on the film. I cried listening to you, though not during the film. I needed someone to explain it to me in the way you had ❤ I very often have anxiety taking control, and you explained the dynamics beautifully. Also, thank you for mentioning that when we feel grief or sadness it's because there were happy memories to grief too, my dad passed away many years ago and I hadn't think of it in that way before. I hope you get your dream of giving voice to an emotion!

I was a little scared that Riley would turn into an anxious kid. Anxiety worked so hard on building a new sense of self, and I thought she was going to succeed. But then the new self was; “I’m not good enough”, and Riley said that to herself multiple times. My heart sank and I thought her friends would help her, but instead she grounded herself so nicely! It was a great film.🍿

My daughter is my rock and helps me when I have a panic attack or when I’m having a moment on anxiousness. She loves psychology. Thanks for this video Kati. ❤

This film was just so beautifully depicted. It fills me up with so much emotion as I watched it. I teared up. I'm glad so many people related to it and felt seen. I know I needed this film and it'll be a comforting one for when I'm going through a rough time. I'd say you are on point with all your observations. It was so meaningful to see both the outer and inner self going through struggles. The anxiety attack scene and the grounding scene were so profound for me. I was like yes, they get what anxiety feels like. The sense of self or newfound identity was spot on. She needed a mixture of it all because they all make up who she is. While some memories were unpleasant, they were lessons Riley learned to be better or find her unique way of being. I hope they do make another film of when she's an teen/adult. It'll help with understanding the parents as well. Hope you get to voice a character in it!!

Me and my teenager rewatched the first film just before seeing the new one and I noticed already there it was sadness and anger leading the mom and dad. I found it kind of sad for the mom but got confused about it for the dad because he always seemed like a very fun and responsive father to Riley. Also I loved how the sizes of family island and friendship island represented the change of dynamic in a teenager. And looking forward to Nostalgia in a future film 😁

@slin2678 9 күн бұрын

I think another video I watched says it best. Just because Sadness is the lead doesn't necessarily mean she's sad all the time. Sadness allows us to empathize and nurture, such as with Bing Bong.

Overall I thought it was great film! I'm a grad student going for my masters in counseling and appreciated a lot of the things you talked about. I cried and laughed a lot! The grounding part was fantastic and I hope it starts a dialogue with folks about as a way to deal with anxiety since it can be so helpful to find your breathing and slow things down when anxiety is setting in. I am curious what the dark secret was in the vault and I hope they make another film as great as this one. It's not often I like sequels but Pixar hit a home run with this one and I hope they make another one with even more information for kids and adults about our emotional lives and how complex they can be and ways to navigate them! Learning about emotions and ways to navigate them is starting to be a thing now in elementary schools, which is fantastic! but I only started learning about emotions and psychology when I was in college, and I think everyone would benefit from learning about those things sooner. Of course there are parents who have done this but often it's something they had to learn along the way, as they got older, instead of in school when kids are in prime learning mode!

One 'like' is just not enough to express how I feel about your review of this movie. I haven't seen it yet but will very soon. I believe it was you that introduced me to the first "Inside Out" and I am forever grateful for that! May your Pixar dream come true! Maybe you could be a therapist emotion. Can't think of which emotion could be portrayed by a therapist, but I was thinking of an adjective or two. Disecting/Analytical/Ponderous/Hesitant. You get the picture. Anyway, I should be pitching that to Pixar! LOL

This breakdown is awesome :) esp before seeing it. I bought my DD turning red, it was perfect timing for her. I’m so happy that Pixar exists. Ennui is my favorite too lol from the ads. xillennial representation. I think it’s so cool too, how different emotions run the parents’ boards. And I love how they are the same, just have little tweaks that make them individual to the person. That imo was a huge thing, it’s something I try to convey to my kids everyone feels the same feelings as they do, teaching empathy. When I saw that they are exactly the ‘same’ look I was like oh thank goodness this is making parenting so much easier. I grew up in a group that doesn’t allow movies, for example my dad tried to get my hubby and me to throw out the Lego movie bc he was mad that lord business was the villain 🤦🏼‍♀️ instead of watching the whole thing and seeing how it was the dad, who changed at the end. But anyway it makes me sad that some kids don’t have these tools growing up bc of their superstitious surroundings.

When I have a Panic attack, I don't feel anxiety! It feel fear!!! Dread! Like, I am going to die. It happens when I am overwhelmed and stressed not anxious, it comes up suddenly, there's no anxious lead up.

I’ve been learning more about the key roles that self compassion and self forgiveness play in helping us take action for the better. (Procrastination; Sirois, 2022) Now I need to see the film to see how they might be used there. Thanks for such a thoughtful review.

@kathrynturnbull990 8 күн бұрын

You do! I would say that towards the end of the panic attack that Kati Morton describes, all of Riley's emotions do something that illustrates self-compassion and self-forgiveness beautifully. I don't think that gives any spoilers: you'll know it when you see it. ;-)

The craziest thing happened to me before I even watched this video: I got an Ad for a meditation music thing called Calm where the first line of dialog is, and I quote: “if you have anxiety, listen to this for 47 seconds and see what it does to your brain”… The timing could not be more perfect, I feel like it can’t be a coincidence!

I find it iteresting that the final voice of the Self Flower (what I call it) says: "I just need help sometimes". To me, I think that is the key to what the Emotions have learned: Riley is still young enough that she can't handle it all on her own and needs to built social networks around her; with her old friends from Middle School and the new friends she's making in High School. Regarding the emotions in the parents, they reveal some of the secondary functions of the Core Emotions. Mom's Sadness is her empathy and caring side (and we see Riley's Sadness functioning in the same way), whilst Dad's Anger is his strength of will and protective instincts (which, again, we've started seeing in Riley's Anger too, with him encouraging and comforting Joy during the scene in the Memory Racks). So, I suspect that any hypothetical Inside Out 3 will show the emotions more and more developing these nuances with Disgust expressing her own antithesis, attraction (possibly with the assistance of Envy/Desire) and Joy becoming more and more Optimism and Riley's outgoing aspects.

12:19 One my favorite parts of the movie was when they're trying to get out of the maze of memory shelves, and Anger, Disgust, and Fear complain about how Joy is always so positive, but then one of them calls her 'delusional' and she just goes off on them about how "of course [she's] delusional!" Etc. Even she knows that being joyful all the time takes a toll and is unhealthy
