The Problem With Anxiety

Anxiety is honestly a great antagonist, because she wants what is best for Riley, but always instead pushes people away and starts even pushing herself to the breaking point

Oh, I happen to know one thing and another about having Anxiety attacks....

I remember when I saw this in theaters with my mom, it was uncanny how many scenes I could relate to that were including Anxiety and things related to that. I’m not one for Disney movies, but I can proudly and confidently say that I loved this movie.

Anxiety is what Joy was in the frist movie. Joy is basically fighting herself.

What makes Anxiety (who thinks more about the future) a great antagonist is she is just like Joy(who use to be an embodiment of toxic positivity from the first movie). Both emotions of Riley thinks what is best for her as her puberty has grown and she becomes a teenager. In the end, both have come to accept of letting Riley go so she can be her own person. Being a teenager who wants to be a part of the social group like her hockey team is a vert relatable topic. My hope for Inside Out 3 is Pixar can delivered a coming of age story where we explored Riley’s journey to becoming a young adult while trying to maintain her childlike qualities.

Honestly, if Pixar can keep dropping sequels like this one, I might not be so upset that they won't be doing originals anymore lol

Now they need Calm and Logic/Reason as emotions 😂

Okay for those who are all upset over the fact that Inside Out 2 isn’t as fantastical as the first film, wake up! We’re in the chaotic mind of a teenage girl, not a little kid anymore. Everything is being torn apart and rearranged, the world around her is far less appealing to her than it was when she was barely in her double digits. Stop trying to downplay this film because it wasn’t as bright and pretty as the first film. The world becomes a lot more grim and down to Earth when you hit this stage of your life. Audiences find anything they can to complain about stuff, I swear…

Anxiety can be good and bad.

She's not an villain, she a very likeable antagonist, who wanted the best for riley, but she wents to far.

I wish Embarrassment, Envy, and Ennui were fleshed out more and shown how harmful they could be if they go overboard, like Anxiety. Riley could be scared of embarrassing herself by messing up during practice, thus no longer wanting to do anything that would put her in an uncomfortable situation and losing motivation. Or have an embarrassing situation that hinders her confidence. Riley could have felt envious that her friends were going to the same school without her and envious of how good Val is (rather than only admiring her), thus making her want to be better at hockey and make new friends. Ennui could be Riley giving up- she no longer has interest in hockey after all the stress she is going through

I love the creative choice of orange lighting everywhere! Then at the end, yellow light comes in through the window, representing Joy

While watching the movie (i didn't give Disney a peny) i was so close to crying almost every scene, the anxiety attack and overthinking was so relatable. Also how Joy had to accept that Riley is growing and won't be the same as she was before, broke my heart, it's like watching your siblings grow and change. So yeah, a beautiful movie with a great storyline.

Definitely happy to see that Pixar is successful amongst DW and Illumination's mid films this year.

I’m not gonna lie, with the Anxiety is drawn, I thought she was male.

Saw the movie in 2d in D-Box and in 3D. A true gem.great wording in your video.

Pixar needs to make more movies that have villains like lotso

Anxiety is the antagonist of our own lives as well. I think that's why it resonates with audiences so well.

Animated movies and shows these days have panic attacks with Puss in Boots 2, Velma and Mario
