[@tastymedicine3073]

When Riley's beliefs started shouting "Im not good enough!" Because of Anxiety is bone-chilling. Some unresolved issues were dug-up in that situation

[@katarinacarrico7887]

And the shock and confusion on Anxiety's face, it's so good!

[@Spiralredd]

I burst into tears at that scene. I told myself that every day as a teenager. It really hit close to home for me 😢

[@carlrobota]

Also the vocal performance gets more and more distraught as the line is repeated in the ensuing scenes so it never really loses it's impact. It's great storytelling.

[@karaleigh_eva]

no because when NEGATIVE memories started being foundational to her self perception... felt... way too felt

[@noelleq2193]

and the fact that anxiety was shocked at that- showing that it’s not what she wanted

[@ImAmandaNe]

I like to look at the 2 movies this way: Inside Out 1 was a bigger story during a trivial time in Riley’s life. Inside Out 2 is a smaller story during a pivotal time in Riley’s life.

[@Sqwivig]

I don't think moving to a new state and having no friends is a "trivial" time in a child's life. It's a pretty big deal actually.

[@RatOfTheWoods]

​@Sqwivig moreso trivial in terms of her development. Her emotions were mostly going through the same shit they had been, but the things going on around her were bigger. Hence, bigger story

[@yeshwantdasari2075]

@@Sqwivig you missed the point, her moving to a new state IS the bigger story during a period of time (10-11) years old where not much emotional changes happen to the average kid (the trivial time) her going to a small 3 day hockey camp is a pretty trivial point in any kids life, but because it happens during her first experience with puberty, it ends up being during a pivotal part of her life

[@shibainu988]

Inside Out 3 will be a bigger story during another pivotal time in Riley's life, graduating high school and going off to college. It's the most logical progression of the story, but my question is: What new emotions will show up?

[@Vekcrazah]

​@@Sqwivig It is trivial in a grand scheme of things, since some people can and do get over moving from one place to another easily. Riley just had too good of a childhood to let all of that go and her parents failed to grasp that earlier than they did. On the other hand, Riley joining the team may have a greater trajectory change in her life (maybe even in terms of career), but her strife is something so minute. Something small, but a lesson oh so big.

SPOILER: The moment when Anxiety started to cry, that was a gut punch, like twelve bricks falling down into my stomach. That is EXACTLY what it feels like to suffer from anxiety, this crushing feeling of doing everything to please others, to fit in and it's still not enough, it can never be enough. That shit was way too real and made me tear up as well. Kudos to Pixar for creating an infuriating antagonist that you still don't want to see suffering because she just can't help herself.

[@lyftytv]

[@waterbullstudios9195]

[@user-ih8np2fm1z]

Yeah. She did want what's best for Riley, until the new core belief said "I'm not good enough!". That gave her a sad and confused expression of "That's... Not what's supposed to happen..." She stressed me the fuck out the whole movie because of what she's doing with Riley, but I liked her as the antagonist.

[@nicbanh6470]

[@fragileparadox8658]

It makes sense considering shes older though

[@Frogcoven]

Same, I always felt like a flaw with the first one was that Riley was just a puppet for the emotions and she didn’t have much of a character and felt like a plot device more than anything. Here, Riley felt like her own character and her own person.

[@hampter3819]

Like where Envy says "you are overwhelming her!"

[@abyssaljam441]

[@kellymacias7340]

I really like how they made you care about Riley, she feels like an actual character with her own actions. Throughout the movie her actions made her feel like she was her own person instead of just being a puppet controlled by the emotions

[@GrandAngel8000]

As a 32yo who only recently dealt with my first panic attack last month, this movie resonated with me. The panic attack felt just like how this movie visualized, down to how Joy couldn't even touch her for a bit to help stop it.

[@peachii3124]

not to be That Guy ☝️🤓 but what the movie depicted was an anxiety attack, not a panic attack. the two terms are similar, but they're totally different things. panic attacks come at random and are often more intense (often feel like a stroke/heart attack) while anxiety attacks are responses to a perceived threat (which, in this case, is the buildup of riley feeling like she's not good enough as a friend/hockey player, etc.)

[@GrandAngel8000]

I liked their interpretation of Envy. They didn't take an easy, 'toxic' read of Envy but instead showed how it can still be a healthy emotion (like sadness in the first one). People will want/like/be envious of things, but you don't have to be destructive about it.

[@altarium4220]

Indeed. Envy can manifest in admiration or jealousy. I’m glad they left it open like that.

[@ilyyelan2289]

the fact that envy is short because jealousy makes us feel small literally made my jaw drop to the floor the second i realized it

[@justafellow2765]

@@Shadeadder Actually, Envy on it's own is simply a desire, a wishing for and a longing for things one feels they lack in. Sadness, Anger and Resentment can come along side Envy but that's not what it inherently is. Jealousy is mostly understood as Fear or Anger towards someone or something taking away something that you deeply value, it's not as simple as it seems. Envy and Jealousy aren't the same despite the use of the 2 being used interchangeably for some reason

[@nctneo]

i think it's very interesting how joy and anxiety are sort of parallels. one is seen as positive while the other is seen as negative, but they both end up hurting people unintentionally.

Didn't surprise me that the movie about literal emotions had the only accurate portrayal of an anxiety attack since Puss in Boots 2

[@jollaffle]

I didn't see wny trailers or know anything about the plot beforehand beyond "Riley's a teenager with new emotions," so I really had zero idea what to expect going in. I was super impressed that they juggled the Joy team, Anxiety team, and Riley life plots so well and kept them all compelling and meaningful pretty much the entire way through. I also appreciate that they didn't take any easy outs to resolve the storylines. They didn't make Anxiety straight-up evil and have the other emotions "win" by locking her away, they had her realize her mistake organically and integrate with the group in a health way. They didn't turn Riley's friends bitter and mean so that Riley could just break things off with them. Thry didn't even have the friends or the other emotions forcibly pull Riley out of her anxiety attack. They were there for her, and Joy did get Anxiety to let go, but ultimately Riley was able to steady herself and make things right. I also spent the entire movie dreading a twist villain reveal that Val was just pretending to be Riley's friend and I'm SO glad that didn't happen

[@SingingWithMyself-Frozen]

I like how, similarly to the 'cool girls' in the first movie looking concerned rather than judgemental when Riley cried, the stuff Riley overhears the firehawks saying isn't actually mean. Riley feels bad about what she hears because they bring up her mistakes, but the other girls aren't actually mocking her. They criticise what she did wrong but they also compare her to themselves and start reminiscing. Riley zeroes in on what they said about her, but the conversation isn't actually about her for very long. I dunno exactly where I'm going with this, I guess I'm just glad they aren't mean girl stereotypes.

[@hyjinx1889]

[@AustinBrown-fs2yt]

As someone who is going to school for psychology I really enjoy these movies. They have a lot of subtle and nuanced storytelling in them that relate to real life things. What I loved in this one is that they showed how you try to avoid all your bad memories to stay happy, but at the end of the day knowing what you did wrong in your past can help you become a better person in the future and they did that all through making Riley a new belief system through her bad memories coming back and mixing to make Riley a nee person all while making sure we know that she is now in control of her emotions.

[@Toongeek45]

This movie won me over simply because it gave the best presentation on what an anxiety attack is really like! Everybody talks about the pounding chest and the rapid breathing, but another overlooked part of what makes them intense is the fact that a lot of your negative memories, even ones you've gotten over a long time ago, seem to resurface and begin to pile up. Making the attack bigger. When I saw this start to happen in this movie, I have never felt so spoken to in my life!

[@voety]

I feel like envy's fatal flaw is how we view her name. Like, the way she's named leads you to think that she's going to be resentful and harsh, when in the movie all she does is show admiration for specific qualities of her peers, only vaguely wishing for those same qualities to be applied to herself and/or Riley. You rarely ever see her go "Oh.. I hate you because I deeply want what you have", rather its portrayed like "WOW omg.. i love this quality of you !!! i want to apply this trait to myself because its so neat!"

[@kennedylareign]

exactly!! people keep saying that she was pointless but she actually fed into anxiety with her dialogue as she would mention how cool some characteristic about someone was and it would lead to anxiety reacting to it with the control panel. like envy saying “we need hair like that!” at the beginning and then anxiety later giving riley the idea to dye her hair like val’s to fit in. like they play into each other really well and that’s the whole point envy is supposed to be subtle because anxiety takes so much control, but envy still has a lot of input

[@LuyoloNtozini]

Yeah but that sounds more like admiration though more than envy.

[@estebanco6937]

​@@LuyoloNtozini i think envy is like "i really want to have the same thing you have" and admiration is more "wow that thing you have is really cool" (while not necesarily wanting it for me)

In the artbook they say they thought of having both Envy and Jealousy as identical twins that no one could tell apart, but they dropped it because they were too unlikeable

[@nanrandomungjavel9738]

I like how she show traits of both Jealousy and admiration

[@UndercoverGCHACPSagent2177]

I love how all of the pre-anxiety beliefs are unconditional, I am kind, I am a good person, they are affirmative statements, while all of anxiety’s beliefs are conditional, IF I make it on the team, IF I sound cool, anxiety makes you unsure, and that is represented great, the only affirmative statement in anxiety’s “new self” is “I am not good enough” which is so very emotional

[@unicycle1017]

I learned a lot about this in CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy. That is, therapy by changing your beliefs, and the movie portrays it accurately at the end. Joy decided not to replace the anxious belief system with the positive belief system entirely, because the latter would become too unrealistic and wouldn't allow her to understand her mistakes. Instead, it combined instead and became a more nuanced belief system in understanding that she has both good and bad inside her, but she can always try her best to do more of the good and less of the bad. It's refreshing because people constantly mock the idea of CBT online when they hear about it, because they think it's supposed to teach you to be delusional levels of optimistic, when it's neither trying to make you pessimistic or optimistic, but realistic instead. The glass is both half full and half empty, is how CBT works. (Look up "CBT worksheets," "ANTS (Automatic negative thoughts," or "cognitive distortions," if anyone is curious. Also looking up CBT books may be helpful to do yourself if therapy is not always affordable, so I know I kind of studied it myself and found it oddly helps a lot.)

I loved it when Anxiety was portrayed like another form of fear. Fear is like a response to what happens currently like it triggers your fight or flight response while Anxiety is a worry that something COULD happen like in the future or something. To sum up correctly, Anxiety is designed to keep us vigilant of what COULD happen and fear is designed to keep you vigilant of what is already happening.

[@officialblimp]

the best part was the ending where anxiety wasn’t defeated, showing how it’s normal to have anxiety as long as it’s managed properly. as a person with anxiety, this movie felt like a hilarious representation of what goes on in my brain and i’m so glad young people get to watch this and see that having anxiety is so valid and normal.

This was definitely stronger of the recent sequels from Pixar by far. Also felt a subtle reference to animators struggling with the irony of Anxiety itself dictating them.

[@fireberserk7464]

One thing that I loved about the movie that I haven't seen anyone touch on, is that when joy is in charge the memories are mixed in emotions. However, the moment anxiety takes over, all memories become monocolor again. I like that tying Anxiety to Joy from the first movie.

[@katarinacarrico7887]

And Anxiety only uses her memories to create Riley's sense of self, hence why it comes out as an aggressive orange, rather than the original which was a pale blue-green.

My favourite thing about that line is that they kind of refute it later in the movie, when the console calls for Joy because despite everything Riley still needs her. Sure, growing up often means coming to terms with harsh truths and losing the rose-tinted glasses, but it doesn't mean you're doomed to a life of misery and cynicism.

I really enjoy Joy and Sadness’ interactions in the sequel. It feels like a massive step up from the first where Joy didn’t want anything to do with Sadness. But in Inside Out 2, Joy is always hearing Sadness out, puts more of her faith in her when it came to the conflict, and their relationship took a natural progression from where it left off. I’m just grateful they didn’t take the Ralph 2 route where the main duo’s friendship is like pretty much reset after the first.

i actually had an anxiety attack recently, like, days before I saw the film. it was still lingering for those days, risking spiraaling out of control every moment i thought about it. but seeing inside out 2 really helped me. their portrayal of an anxiety attack simultaniously made me feel validated, the analogy helped me understand what was happening to me, and most importantly, I'm not alone. its a normal thing to go through. gave me hope i could bounce back. thanks to that hope, I did (mostly) still working on it. i basically got a therapy session for the price of a movie theater ticket.

[@skysiren4113]

I really like how the movie handled Anxiety as a character. While she definitely is the main antagonist of the film she isn’t a straight up villain, she genuinely thinks that what she and the other new emotions are doing is what's best for Riley, not realising that it's actually doing more harm then good. They could've easily just made her a villian who actively wanted to hurt Riley, but they took a more nuance take on having anxiety still be an important emotion a lot of us have and struggle with She really does remind me of Joy in the first film, both mean well with wanting what they think is best for Riley, but they don't realise that how they are going at it isn't just harming the other emotions that they believe aren't as important (for Joy it's Sadness and for Anxiety it's the orignal emotions) but is also causing more harm to Riley and her mental health, its only when they see just how much Riley is suffering because of their actions that they try and fix their mistakes

[@jaydeesc2812]

Another reason I want an Inside Out 3: If it would be the last in a trilogy, I'd love for it to go all the way into Riley as an old woman. And when her time is almost up, the other emotions finally let Nostalgia control the console, as Riley flashes back through every event in her life before headquarters starts slowly shutting down. It might be a little too sad, but since this is the same studio that made Up, it might not be too far-fetched.

[@cookimaus1]

You know, I actually think it's okay that some of the emotions, such as Envy, didn't get as much play as others...I mean, isn't that how an actual human works? All of us have our dominate emotions that tend to overtake our personalities and hence our lives...the fact that Envy has such a small role just means that Riley isn't a naturally envious person, and in contrast she feels a great amount of anxiety, which is why Anxiety as a character is able to overtake the control center/her brain, and why Joy is pretty much the dominate emotion over all others. Riley is a naturally Joyous person who feels Anxiety and Sadness very easily, but who is more seldom Envious of others, rarely Angry, sometimes Disgusted, etc. I believe that her unique personality is pretty accurately reflected in the screentime of the various Emotion-characters.

[@ellocojoncrazy3270]

My favorite part of the movie was anxiety, I liked how they represented that not only in a destructive way, it also shows the positive side, the need to prepare and think about the future, but that cannot be your only way of thinking.

[@rachelthornton4442]

Honestly, the first Pixar movie to make me cry, but not for the moment you think. The part where Riley had to pretend she didn’t like her favourite band, because all the other girls thought it was for kids and made her feel bad for liking it. When I was young, I was obsessed with Monster High, had all the dolls, knew every little encyclopaedic fact about ever character. Then when I went to secondary school. I brought up Monster High in front of other girls and they said it was for babies, and I pretended I thought they were for babies too. Then when I started hanging out with mostly boys, I brought up Monster High one day and a guy talked about how annoying the commercials were and how ugly and girly the dolls were, and I had to pretend like Riley that I didn’t like them either. Eventually, it got to a point where anything pink or sparkly or silly or remotely girly or childish that I liked had to be kept a secret, because I was desperate to not be alone. It’s such a weirdly specific thing that feels very individual, yet I think almost everyone has experienced something like that. The fear that your interests are too “silly” or “childish” or that you won’t fit in because of them is weirdly universal, and I’m so happy this film touched on it. TLDR: This movie made me cry and Monster High is incredible.
