Inside Out 2-a review

I enjoyed this! Loved the depiction of her sense of self, the stream of consciousness, the brain storm, and more. It's a wonderful depiction of the mind and the importance of balance.

Some other opinions I had are:

• Loved the protection program to the "not gonna think about that right now" place hahaha.
• More of the Joy and Sadness partnership like in the first movie.
• The importance of sadness as we learnt in the last movie is shown when Joy recognizes that Riley needed that moment.
• The new emotions and all the voice actors are great!
• The importance of balance.
• Joy freaking out again when she's not in charge of Riley.
• Wow, anxiety really trashed Riley's beliefs. She has some points but them building a new Riley is wild especially since they just got there.
• They really bottled up the emotions and had them with denial. Denial's denial of having friends on a show (like Dora) felt depressing.
• Lmaooo I like the different animation styles of the suppressed emotions.
• The basic emotions have to experience change like Riley.
• Lmaooo Fear thinks he can change Anxiety.

Also, feel free to follow me for my next posts and comment with your opinions.

• Aw, poor Joy. I felt bad she snapped but I was glad she opened up and that Anger comforted her.
• Love that Embarrassment helps Sadness.
• I love the growth in everything from the characters, the islands, the animation etc.
• The complexity of emotions as even Anger says he can't always be the rage guy.
• Wow, Anxiety's domination is spreading but I'm happy to see the positives and negatives of thinking. However, Anxiety focused on preparation and not on Riley's happiness which is possible when a goal is in mind as it was for her.
• Glad that Embarrassment also saw the importance of balance once they were pushing Riley to do what even she didn't want to do it. I thought that was interesting as well to show her innate control.
• Anxiety is a manipulator. She and Envy are a dangerous duo.
• Yeah, Joy's breakdown hurt. Wow, the "you feel less joy when you grow up" is…hm.
• Lmaooo even Pouchy needed a moment. He got pissed and said he won't always have everything.
• Loved the depiction of Riley's sense of self as complex but it's also beautiful.
• Riley's friends and Val are great too.
• Happy for Joy she really loves Riley as they all do but she got welcomed back.
• They love Riley in totality "every messy, beautiful piece of her."
• Happy they all balance and take care of each other. Such a great watch!

The 'brief and not-so-brief opinions' articles are my outlet to rant about or appreciate movies, shows and their elements. I will express my thoughts while watching and after or only after watching, it depends. I will not be rating. These are not spoiler-free for the most part and no research will be made for or about them(unless curious or accidental which would be mentioned). They are in no particular order of recent watching as well. However, the opinions are in order of viewing the movie or show (for the most part). This wouldn't be as structured or detailed as well and there would be no set number of picks per article, it would be just as things go. It is intended to be casual. So think, conversations about movie plots, characters, topics-so something like that.
