I'm glad they're focusing on anxiety instead of romance. Young children experience this too and likely don't have the words to describe it or express it. I hope this will facilitate conversations at young ages too.

[Griffen.]

Inside Out feels like it has the creativity, heart and legs to be the second coming of the Toy Story franchise. Growing up with Riley and her support team just like we did with Andy and his crew.

I love how it portraits anxiety as a natural part of life, very normal emotion we all have, something you can use and manage, not an excuse for everything. Lovely lesson!

[aiwash]

The thumbnail scared me, thank god it’s actually a good movie

[ajames]

I thought the film was saying that we aren't our emotions, and while they are things we experience, we are our own person. That's why Joy throws out the version of Riley she created and lets Riley figure out her own beliefs system. Which I think what the film is going for with the theme of anxiety - we get to decide who we are separate of what we're feeling no matter how overwhelming those feelings can be.

Aging up w the audience is something I really have always connected to Toy Story. I was nearly the same age as Andy every time a new movie came out and I always felt like it was perfect for the place I was at.

I hope this is the same for so many kids.

Given how much I adored the previous film, I hope the nine years Pixar spent making this film were spent creating a worthy script. Thanks for the review!

Inside Out is my favorite Pixar movie too. I'm sooo relieved to see initial reviews are positive. Going to see it this weekend for sure

39 year old man and the original made me cry. There I said it. Great film. Up there with Toy Story

[kelownatechkid]

I'm so excited to see this in 3D. I rewatched Inside Out last night on my 3DTV and was actually moved to tears, there are so few movies that use the stereo format but with Inside Out it almost made me feel like I was enveloped by the film.

[ItsKimOlson]

I agree with everything you said.

"Inside Out" is my favorite Pixar movie too.

Leaving the theatre, I heard someone tell their kid "there's a lot to discuss in the car."

[marisagarnjobst]

You perfectly described how I was feeling before this movie came out, I’m now more tentatively hyped, will see if that holds when I see it this weekend!

[angeles]

while Ennui is represented by an unimpressed French woman.The newbies are all a hoot. Anxiety is conceived as a high-strung. We find that Riley’s inner imaginative landscape actually features a huge “Mount Crushmore” with four indistinct faces

[TheFreakazoid]

I just watched it yesterday. Absolutely loved it.

*SPOILER*
A parallel I adored between this movie and the first one is that at the end of the first one, Joy tells Sadness, “Riley needs you” and the end of the sequel Sadness tells Joy, “Riley WANTS you.” I thought it was fantastic seeing how the emotions have grown and developed.

[EE-bgde]

This movie touched my heart. Your emotions specifically anxiety combined with Envy/embarrassment can change your beliefs to "i'm not good enough." then you start being dominated by anxiety, you change who you are to compensate for that central lack of belief in yourself. I cried during this movie. I love how she just needed to feel all these emotions while focusing on the joy and positivity of her life. Loved it.

[mrmonkeyman]

Went to see it with my kids today and, yeah, i think this is another Pixar classic.

Because the concept is familiar it doesnt feel quite as clever as the first and theres no bing bong moment that broke me, but it builds on the concept well and really illustrates how damaging unchecked anxiety can be.

[ggreat]

if dan murrell says the movie is good then it is good. ticket secured.

[milanfejfar]

thank you for the review, I was skeptical, but now I am hyped to return to deal with all these emotions... And right after, Imma see Inside Out 2

[owenharrison]

Pixar continues to make good movies, but we had gotten used to them making excellent movies that seeing a lower level made it seem like it was the end of Pixar, but it seems that many fans got ahead of themselves with that conclusion

[jordanclark]

My kids JUST got into Inside Out 1 so I’m very happy to hear good buzz about 2 🎉🎉
