Seeing the movie recently, Anxiety technically is a villain. Technically, because she falls in the "Anti-Villain" camp, having noble goals while challenging the main cast but goes about them in unethical ways.

[@2873surabi]

There was a moment that made me laugh that no one else in my theater laughed at. It was Joy saying "I'm going to tell Anxiety 'hey just don't worry so much' and she will be like 'that worked, I feel so much better now Joy, thank you'." Or something along those lines. Gotta love when someone tells people with anxiety to calm down.

[@colbystearns5066]

I'm glad to hear Anxiety isn't made a "bad guy" or "villain" in this. As someone who regularly deals with anxiety (and loves classic Disney villains) I think it's more mature to treat anxiety as just a normal part of life and while you shouldn't let it consume you, it's also not something that can merely be "defeated" by more positive emotions forever.

[@SlaveofChrist1]

It can be defeated or dealt with or repented of, but not by just having positive emotions or just being happy. Idk it can definitely be dealt with but I think everyone just kinda says “stop it” without saying how to say how or actually help

[@xavierbean5218]

@@SlaveofChrist1 because I think they never understand anxiety to its purest form. They just think of it as a phase. However it’s completely different than the expectations they originally had. Once they find a situation like it, they can’t control it, leading them down a dark path. Which is why I genuinely love this movie so much. It isn’t afraid to make you *feel* that emotion

[@colbystearns5066]

@@SlaveofChrist1 Anxiety can be controlled, even to a great extent and some people are more affected by it than others, but I don’t believe it can ever truly go away. It’s always lingering somewhere in the subconscious even in the most confident people who claim to have completely done away with it.

[@myriadmediamusings]

While I was enjoying the movie, it wasn’t until the climax and the moment the anxiety-grown sense of self and all that followed where I absolutely put it over the first movie precisely because it got me down to a T. I hate and have been ashamed to admit that anxiety really gets the better of me, and oftentimes it feels like, beyond moral support from friends and family, I can’t seem to temper it down.

[@kdusel1991]

When one of the trailers came out I thought anxiety would be the villain which worried me. Happy to know that that's not the case!

[@DanGamingFan2846]

Easily as good as the first, and Pixar's best film in a hot minute. I like how Anxiety isn't depicted as a villain, she has the best intentions, but just needs to be reigned in.

This is the best non Toy Story sequel from Pixar. Doesn't surpass the original, but it's quite close. I love the moment when Anger shows sympathy for Joy when she breaks down, in fact, I love how all the emotions have a large role in this movie, not just Joy or Sadness. My favorite scene has to be the one with the 2D cartoon dog and the old grafic videogame character. The audience were laughing out loud throught out that scene.

[@cdogthehedgehog6923]

Anxiety was basically the anti-Joy.

[@TJMcDonough]

The first joke with Wish was hilarious. Great to see you still rip this movie apart. Ariana DeBose deserved better.

[@colbystearns5066]

They both deal with glowing orbs so it works!

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

Thats nice to hear that last part, it feels like people usually tear down whatever lead actor (usually actress) thats chained to another moronic Disney flagship failure; and often times people blame that actor for all its issues and problems that can actually just be chalked up to Disney upper management. Ariana DeBose is a great actress if only for West Side Story, would’ve been great if she has an Encanto or Coco type film to work with, not a half-assed slapped-together shipwreck. She clearly has real vocal and acting talents. Unfortunately it seems like Rachel Zegler is gonna gave an even worse time whenever SnowWhite comes out, too much is riding on that film, and again all the attention will be on the actor rather than the writers or the company to blame

[@kdusel1991]

​@@GuineaPigEveryday also due to the fact that almost NONE of the live action remakes are good. They're pretty much all garbage.

[@Simbala-bq5vy]

​@@GuineaPigEverydayYeah. I'm also shocked that this person gave Ariana debose justice. Because many people were hating on for example Haley bailey

[@myriadmediamusings]

I feel this is another case of Spider-Verse or Lego Movie, in that both are great, whichever you feel is the better is up to personal preference, and the other is not diminished. While I LOVE Inside Out 1, Inside Out 2 impressed me with the way it handles it situation, takes things to the next level, and speaks to me personally. The moment the words “I’M NOT GOOD ENOUGH” popped up with anxiety, that hit me like a ton of bricks because holy crap that is pretty much how I feel every day. Did such a good job capturing anxiety its almost like looking into a mirror with the way it led Riley’s behavior.

[@thesdfrommw9311]

The one thing I was dreading with this film was the ‘popular girl manipulating main character to break away from their friends’ cliche of which the trailers give heavy vibes. If the popular mean girl isn’t funny like Regina George then it’s just boring to me. Thankfully, Val wasn’t a mean girl and was actually trying to help Riley fit in, while her breaking away from her friends was all her doing. This was particularly refreshing since a certain animated film from a rival studio last year hinted they were going in a different route with the mean girl troupe…until it just turned into a twist villain reveal that they already spoiled in the trailers 😡. *stares angrily at Dreamworks* You know what you did! You better hope Wild Robot redeems you!

[@paulferancik7766]

I like that envy is shown from the very first frame to be a positive emotion. Her job is to give you goals to strive towards. People that inspire you. She only got negative when paired with anxiety.

[@neonjays]

Yep. People say envy should’ve been antagonistic because they think envy means the same thing as jealousy.

[@AN-BR24]

@@neonjays Actually, it’s jealousy that is more benign than envy. Jealousy is when someone has something that you admire, and you want it too. Envy is a lot more sinister. Envy is when you want to take what the other has. Like William Shakespeare’s Iago.

I loved how envy gaslights anxiety

[@JackHorner536]

Just saw it for the second time today, but I'm so tired I won't even bother to make a long review in the IMDB style, so I'll just say here how much I recommend it. The new emotions doing something more than just jumping around the console and throwing one-liners like most Disney sidekicks was a big relief. Bing Bong not coming back was also a relief. The fact there was no Bing Bong moments wasn't that bad, but that also made the film have slightly less stakes. That's not very bad either, it's just disappointing. The worldbuilding kinda felt lazier than in the prievous film. There's too little new locations, and most of the film takes place in something we already seen before, minus a few details. That's lackluster, on the other hand. There was definitely more things not done right, but for the biggest part it's one of the most solid Disney sequels we've seen so far, and that completely wipes out Ralph Breaks the Internet's existence. The jokes almost always landed, the references to the pop culture were stellar, and the dramatic scenes were done masterfully. For the first time director, that's a big W. Somehow, the good Pixar films returned... Take that, Lightyear! Big 8/10 for me. I need more Inside Out than Toy Story, Minions, Bad Boys, Alien whatever, they're good and make money and all, but this... It's perfect. Inside Out has infinite potential for shows, spin-offs, sequels, theme park attractions, maybe even games, and for now it never misses. Even the characters themselves push this film to the great highs with their top tier designs, especially Embarrassment. I love the new updated crew, and I demand more Inside Out! 💛🧡

I just finished the movie and liked it. They didn’t make anxiety a full blown villain just another emotion who wanted to protect Riley and make her happy. It’s just when you’re anxious you tend to overcorrect and second guess and question everything and lose yourself, so it’s good to have joy and your other emotions balance you out. Sure this movie tried to simplify a complex subject like experiencing new emotions when you grow up, but for a kids movie, they nailed it enough that it’s a decent balance of understandable for kids but not too dumbed down for adults

[@JustinWahlne]

As someone who suffers from anxiety I thought I was going to hate the character Anxiety. As soon as I saw her in the trailer, I felt like Ivan Drago. "I must break you."

[@dobadobadooo]

My main issue with this movie is that everyone is just way too damn nice. I never really felt like there were any real stakes because we see that literally every single person in Riley's life is super friendly and non-judgemental, basically the complete opposite of how teens actually behave.

Spoilers but honestly think the best part of the movie is when Riley starts to have her first big panic attack at the climax, because as a person who really struggles with anxiety even outside of school during the summer for almost no reason at all. That got me emotional to the point I started crying, up until the movie ended, also since I brought my mom to see the movie by the climax I could also tell that my mom was kind of tearing up too. Which totally suprised me because, yes my mom (and both of my parents in general) certainly can cry. I was not expecting her to tear up in a movie theater along with me while watching a movie from the same company as Mickey fricking mouse. Like I sort of expected myself to cry at the climax, because I did when the first inside out movie released, and I’m pretty vulnerable to crying in certain situations, like for example my favorite show ending.

[@brenyatta]

I LOVE the joke at the beginning where the dad is talking about what they could do while Riley is away and waggles his eyebrows, only to get bummed when the mom talks about doing chores

[@blargenheim2032]

I feel like the next one could be about her becoming a mother of her own and the stresses of taking care of your own child. That isn't really explored with Rileys parents very much because Riley was a pretty happy girl throughout her childhood life for the most part. I've seen my sister go through these things with her son, and he is socially disabled. She wants to give up some days, she gets depressed, she doesn't know what to do to help him sometimes, but in the end she wants him more than anything to succeed. It's very conflicting to feel like you love something that annoys the crap out of you.

[@luisfernandor7967]

One thing I might nitpick, is the fact that all this series of events happend only during a hockey training camp, while the first dealt with so many things happening: moving to another city, new school, running away on the bus, etc. It is still a great movie and I had a really good time watching it at the cinema.

[@davideostudio2664]

Just got back from Inside Out 2 and yeah, I liked it. Also I'm surprised you didn't bring up the emotion Nostalgia here, who surprisingly didn't get that much screen time as I thought she would. Hopefully in the sequel she'll have her time to shine

[@bemiatto67]

I like that her saying "I'll be downstairs" and Anxiety saying they don't need her yet implies there's even more emotions that we haven't met yet that'll show up in Riley's mind as she grows older

[@ZBixby]

I actually never saw the first one until last night AFTER taking my son to watch the second one on his request. The second movie hit me so hard in so many good ways and when we got home I insisted on watching the first one too. It’s an incredibly relatable movie because it’s not necessarily about a girl or a boy that’s hitting puberty and gaining all these new emotions. It’s about a person. What Riley’s going through isn’t gender coded to either side and everyone can see a little bit of themselves in the struggles and experiences she’s having and it’s just an incredibly well told story.

[@PickleGreenGuy]

Anxiety reminds me of Queen Barb from Trolls World Tour. She thought she was doing the right thing. She just executed it in a selfish, not good way.

[@meta527II]

I forget, what was that “last second” that you feel makes things end on too perfect of a note?

it’s implied she made the varsity hockey team whenever she really shouldn’t have because of how she played in the last game since she was playing with rage and selfishness because of what Anxiety was doing

[@tomachu7899]

Inside Out is S tier for me Inside Out 2 is A++ for me . I'm also incredibly bias because Sadness is my favorite emotion of the 10 and the message of how sadness is needed for a healthy mind and it helps you appreciate joy hits way to close to home on a personal level. On the other hand, Anxiety is also a heavy hitter personally for me, the heavy breathing, Riley hitting herself with her hockey stick, the whirlwind that was anxiety and having to "let go " was spot on. The only gripe I had with the film, and its a VERY SMALL gripe, is that Inside Out (the original) had moments where it slowed down and you took a step back from the emotional chaos, it was few but it was there. Like the Joy ice skating scene or the conclusion where sadness holds the core memories...it was just..slow.. silent.. somber. Just hit a bit different. Inside Out 2 is very well paced but we don't stay still, even the semi quiet moments feel fast (joy breaking down or her with the sense of self in the pile of bad memories) were still rushed because Anxiety is causing havoc. Which in turn..fits the theme , intentional or not. Either way, I still fucking loved this movie and going to see it probably 1 or 2 more times.

I'm going to see this with my partner soon and I'm so relieved to hear it's actually good. When I saw the first one I cried alot, even back to the car on the way home. I was entering my final year of high school and was feeling so much stress and upset and that film was a comfort and just let me deflate with all the upset and pain. And now I think this has come out at the right time for me again. I hope Pixar and Disney see how people react to this and take notes on how to improve going forward because i dont want to lose either. Both have brought me so much comfort and joy that if they were to fall i don't know how I'd cope

I loved how descriptive the panic attack was. Sometimes it really can feel like you can’t breathe.

[@melvinshaw7574]

Maya Hawke is honestly the exact right voice for Anxiety. You really just want to hug her. Between this and Last Wish, I appreciate the focus in mainstream animated films to actively talk about the internal struggle of a panic attack, and the support a person having one needs. The only issue I have with taking these films further is that by definition, in order to have a compelling story, Riley is going to have to undergo even further severe trauma (what's a good follow-up for One's depression and Two's anxiety?).

[@QuarterCoyote]

We need more Incredibles sequels too.

[@kdusel1991]

As long as there's a villain that's as good as Syndrome. Screenslaver had a cool design but she sucked as a villain.

[@gianinabadami5341]

I was in between. There were good and bad moments, but it really came together for me when the climax started. While I agree the ending was "too perfect" as Doug said, but I personally couldn't see it going any other way, except leave it ambiguous and cut before Riley looks at her phone. Those are usually the best alternative ending

[@thepeacefulbuddah]

So far, Inside Out is the only movie I can think of that I'd want a full trilogy. The 3rd movie would be Riley going off to college, and the emotion Love would pop up, and the gang would have to deal with that in some way. (Side note, this movie got me thinking, I wonder how they would show/handle someone going through dementia. That sounds very compelling to me personally)

[@dragongamerrylucius]
