You know the original -- now here’s the sequel (great animation!) that features Riley entering puberty and experiencing brand new, more complex emotions as a result.
Genre: Animation/Adventure/Coming-of-Age
Language: English, subtitles: Dutch
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, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And she’s not alone.
According to director Kelsey Mann, welcoming new Emotions into Riley’s mind was a no-brainer, so to speak. “I’d zeroed in on the idea of Anxiety being a major character,” he says. “It’s something that really starts to appear as we become teenagers—we can all relate. I remember doing a lot of research early on about what happens in our brains at this age that triggered this idea of a wrecking ball coming through Headquarters—a bunch of workers piling in and tearing everything down. It’s a renovation—that’s kind of what it feels like to be a teenager. It’s chaotic.”
Contributing to the chaos and joining Anxiety in Headquarters are new Emotions including the always-admiring Envy, the oft-mortified Embarrassment, and Ennui, who’s a lot like “boredom, disdain or this feeling of blasé,” says Mann. “If you’ve ever asked a teenager how their day was and heard ‘fine,’ that’s Ennui.”
Reviews
“It was a tall order to match the brilliance of ‘Inside Out’, but the sequel meets the challenge on every level. “ Chicago Sun-Times
“It’s the balance of basic psychology with abstract concepts and inspired observational comedy that makes this a uniquely captivating coming-of-age tale.” The Hollywood Reporter
“Inside Out 2 is full of passion and empathy, letting the audience in on Riley’s inner struggle without always painting her as the hero, even in her own story.” Polygon
