[@xcmvp2007]

I am so glad the moral of the movie was not "I am a great person and all I need to do is believe that." We are complex people that are affected by outside forces and our own personal development.

[@TopNotchWatcher87]

This movie broke me. The part where she said, I am not enough, the part where anxiety loses it, and the next ten minutes after that, it all broke me, I related waaaay to much, like a lot of people do. I showed my husband, and it didn’t hit him as hard, bc he doesn’t deal with anxiety as much, so we sat and talked about it, and I explained how anxiety was such a perfect representation of how it actually feels, and the more he thought about the movie, the more he liked it. Such a gem.

[@Zunderfeuer]

Need a hug?

[@Darth-Lesbian]

I can’t relate. The design of that thing is absolutely hideous. It renders me incapable of being moved emotionally. It’s so disgusting it actually makes me angry.

[@marsalien4]

I love that Joy "sends Sadness away" (to go call them back into the main room) this time around *because she believes in her* as a nice reversal of trying to have her stay away because she thinks she has no value. Their relationship is a highlight, even if they're separated for a good chunk of this one. Also, I know that everyone's tired of Pixar doing sequels, but this is the one series where I want them to keep making more as Riley ages. I think having her eventually be in the mom role, where the emotions are trying to help her parent, would be so interesting. Navigating a relationship, getting a job, etc. So many cool things to explore in this universe.

[@llxBUNKxll]

Envy has 4 fingers so she can be continuously envious of not having 5 fingers. Also like her first line where she wished she was as tall as everyone else.

[@screennamemissing]

Came to say this! xD

[@christopherlundgren1700]

And she has extra-large eyes so she can stare at everyone else.

[@MyDevilishLullaby]

For me Envy was more like admiration.. Her behaviour wasn't obviously envious.. Envy is a negative emotion: I like what you have and I hate I don't have it (sometimes leading to "and I hate you for that") and here she's more like "I really like something someone else have" and that's just about that.

[@mojoshivers]

Such a worthy sequel. I love how it nails anxiety and especially panic attacks. I felt that in that whole sequence; it feels so visceral and inescapable.

It wasn't until I saw Ted Lasso that I realized what was happening to me was a thing. Im glad kids will be able to grow up knowing these things are real and natural.

When you see the Emotions' bedrooms... on the shelf behind JOY... is an Origami figure OF BINGBONG! :D So, Joy remembers him. He's not COMPLETELY forgotten. :')

[@gardenstateknicks]

i love how Anxiety is portrayed here: running around like a chicken with their head cut off to try and fix everything, it feels like a Tetris game that's quickly getting out of hand. But in the midst of the frenetic tornado, you're just paralyzed. and what i think is really cool is that this can apply to both the physical and mental state

[@bouboulroz]

That representation was great. She's all over the place, yet somehow completely frozen.

Bill and Mindy were offered 5% of what Amy Poehler was given for her role. I know Joy is sort of the main character, but not by 95% so I get it!

[@Metamorfeus]

Bill & Mindy were also instrumental in developing their characters and the story for the first movie. To have such a low-ball offer in light of that was insulting.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

You have to remember, though, that this was for voiceover work. Even though Fear and Disgust were on screen a bunch, that was the animators. If they don't make any noise, their actor-voices don't need to be there, so it _might_ be the difference between 100 minutes of recording versus 10 minutes. 🤷‍♂

Haven't got an anxiety attack for several years and this movie just brought back a brief anxiety attack with that scene.

[@n71195]

Maybe if Joy hadn’t kept Riley’s sense of self from being more nuanced, she would’ve been able to handle her friends going to a different school without letting anxiety take over. Cognitive dissonance is a real pain!

[@xtheregulator42x]

i searched why Bill Hader got recast and found this The reason Mindy Kaling and Bill Hader chose not to reprise their roles for Inside Out 2 was due to significant salary disagreements. The actors were initially offered $100,000 each for their roles in the sequel, with no additional bonuses.

[@TheoMurpse]

I think George's dominant emotion would be embarrassment given how often he talks about bullying, second hand embarrassment, etc but it never really has the tinge of anxiety so much as a feeling of avoidance

[@eshuorishas9987]

As a severely ADHD kid, my emotion was a squirrel. Yes, a squirrel is an emotion.

This movie ruined my anniversary. My wife and I got into the car afterwards and she started bawling saying it was too real and she never wants to watch it again. Thanks a lot, Pixar.

[@sootyskeeper]

Joy: as you grow older the less joy you feel... Me: how dare you bring reality into a film! 😂

[@justin_b.]

Inside Out is the best film Pixar ever made. The sequel was never going to be as good but it’s a solid 7. Anxiety was too irritating

[@bearacuda]

This is an amazing movie. An excellent example of how movies can be both deeply meaningful and entertaining. And to do it with an animated, cartoon like movie that both children AND adults can enjoy and appreciate. It leaves you thinking about yourself. Why can't other movies, by other studios come close to this?

[@CineRam]

I got ridiculed a lot in middle school, so when other kids told that I was starting to smell bad, I chose not to believe them. Whoopsie... I agree with George, this movie hits hard. When Riley is sitting in the penalty box, being yanked back and forth between "I'm a good person" and "I'm not good enough!"...Man, that's a rough moment. I think it'll stay with me for a long time.

[@IrishPieceofTrash1]

In the first film, Riley needs to feel Sadness. In the second film, Riley wants to feel Joy.

She is lucky to have joy run the emotions. If you look at other people’s minds (like her parents) Anger or Sadness is usually in control.

[@TheoMurpse]

I actually think it's really beautiful that her mother's dominant emotion is sadness. Because it's more than being gloomy. Sadness is protective and vulnerable and what gives us empathy and therefore lifelong, deep friendships.

[@jacotromp59581]

The panic attack scene was too realistically done. I felt every single second of it

[@mudshark0761]

My partner and I took out 9 year old to see this whem i came out and the moment the line about feeling less joy as you get older was said we both looked at each other and could rell how hard it hurt and real it felt for each other.

[@donbergeson6771]

Another Easter egg people seem to miss is the scene where they're looking at family island. The binoculars they use are the binoculars from Toy Story. At least they look identical to me. Maybe it was unintentional.

[@matthewganong1730]

I used to suffer from panic attacks. This movie brought me right back to it (in a good way). They absolutely nailed it.

[@tachyonpulse]

This movie really spoke to me... esp when the "I'm not good enough" self manifested and Anxiety was in a panic attack whirlpool. When all yr bad decisions and mistakes come rushing back to remind you sometimes... excellent and worthy sequel!

[@JohnDaviesisahumanbrowneye]

Bill Hader became a more well known actor thanks to his show Barry since the first movie and as such had a salary dispute with Disney with the second movie.

[@zhivik]

So I went to see this with my extended family - my sister, my 8-year nephew, and my mum. All us adults unanimously concluded after we left the cinema that this is a film for grown-ups disguised as a kids' movie. Simply brilliant, and once again a sequel that is better than the original. I am not sure if they will make a third one, but this has been one of the most memorable feature animations over the past decade.

Gods these movies, this is the kind of movie that can actually crack a little bit of daylight into someone’s outlook, as a writer, it is some strong stuff. If you ask me, not just top tier Pixar, but top tier movie in general, and succeeds in vastly improving on the first. Mostly just because this age is more compelling than Riley’s in the first movie, but still. Thanks for a great reaction as always you two!

[@IceMetalPunk]

As someone with an anxiety disorder rooted in an inferiority complex, from the moment Riley's sense of self becomes "I'm not good enough", until the end of her panic attack, I'm a mess of tears every time. Every time, no matter how many times I see it. Why can't Joy be the relatable one?! 😅

[@van8ryan]

The new emotions feel very MUPPET-esque in style of their designs; Anxiety almost looks like a manic version of Red from FRAGGLE ROCK. Sadly, the making of INSIDE OUT 2 was also in the middle of the massive layoffs at PIXAR, which meant a ton of people didn't benefit from the massive financial success of it (now officially the highest grossing animated film in history)

[@cmrobbins88]

The imagination cubicle scene definitely felt personal from the animators side. Disney execs constantly trying to fix and prepare for every eventuality and the artists and storytellers stuck creating uninspired work to pacify them.

[@bazzakrak]

Why Bill and Mindy werent returning was because of pay distube. Apparently Poehler got 5mill and some backend deal, while they were offered 100k for their roles, and they felt it wasnt enough. Disney then upped the offer ( noone seem to know by how much ) and it still wasnt what they meant they were worth, and so they were replaced. Now the thing is, how many actually knew in the first one, just by the voice that it was Bill and Mindy? and in other animation movies how many actors could you/we identofy just by the voice, and would you miss them for a sequel, if you were honest. I can see that Bill and Mindy would like some more for their roles, since they were pretty weighty as well, but apparently nobody really knew ( from those who hadnt read about the dispute ) that they werent the same people, while Poehlers voice might be harder to swap out with someone else.

[@againes.1]

The pay disputes came down to them offering Amy Poehler $5M and the other returning cast were offered $100,000 (an insultingly low number for the caliber of these actors). Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling declined to return as a result.

[@joseoropeza8894]

They NAILED anxiety. I’ve spoken to friends that have issues with it and they had second hand anxiety the entire movie because it way to close to home.

Flip flopping between superiority and inferiority was my usual state in puberty. Inferiority + victimhhood = endless lakes of tears.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

🤔 I'm having a hard time drawing the dividing lines between Fear, Anxiety, and Disgust here... Disgust used to be the one concerned about social status, but one of the big differences between Anxiety and Fear is that Anxiety is usually about social situations. For a while I thought the defining trait of Anxiety was that her concerns were all hypothetical whereas Fear was worried about present physical dangers, but Fear also worries about the future and plans ahead (thus his parachute), so that's not it...

[@druciferDMA]

'A Crime of Passion Fruit ' is S tier Simone

[@Chockys234]

I apologize in advance so much with you, Simone and George, because I love your videos (I really love them), but one thing that it's hard to handle to me is when (I'm not saying that it was, just that it seemed to me like it was) you treat the whole movie as an endless joke and you laugh at every scene, all the time. However, when you get full into the movie and live it inside yourself, you are wonderful. And I loved your reaction at infinity level because this movie touched my heart in countless ways (specially about the panic attacks). It's an awesome story about coming on age, friendship, family, the need to be accepted and the importance of the deepest question at all: "Who am I?". This is cinema! PS: Please, don't get mad with me by my words. They were not a critic to you.

[@JAWhite-j1w]

I expected this movie to be disappointing but it's SO GOOD AAAAA, I swear to god, how much anxiety *I* had during the panic scene was insane lol

[@TabbyWithMittens]

Mine was definitely fear and anger lol I was scared to get close to anyone and was quite mean at times. I never really bullied anyone, but my anger made me quite unpleasant to be around. Plus struggling with my beliefs at the time didn’t help and didn’t feel like I could talk to anyone lol I luckily calmed down by the time high school rolled around but I got what I wanted I guess and had no one to interact with or be friends with. The senior boys liked to picked on me during this time to for some reason 0-0

[@IceMetalPunk]

Yes! Anger is right: punt Anxiety right into the dump!

[@7rollface]

The only thing that makes this film not a 100% for me is that she gets on the team despite being put in the penalty box. If the coach didn't think she was ready before that, then that would probably have make her more certain she was right. I think it would have been more satisfying for the narrative outside her head *and* the one inside, if after the game and everything's resolved she herself had gone to the coach and said something like "I don't think I'm ready yet, but I will be next year". Maybe even throw in a line about something like needing to learn to control her emotions. Rather than a "her dream comes true" moment, it could have been more a "she's growing up" thing.
