Fun details in their bedroom, Anger has a fire extinguisher next to his bed and a sprinkler over him, Sadness has tissues and Joy has a figure of Bing Bong

I struggle a lot with anxiety and anxiety attacks so this movie had me, a grown man, crying like baby in theaters. The way they portrayed Riley’s anxiety attack hit me hard… I’ve never seen anxiety represented so accurately. Such a good sequel!

THE SADNESS COSPLAY IS SO CUTE 😭 BUT I FELT ALL 4 EMOTIONS THIS MOVIE 😭😭

The "I'm not good enough" scene really hit me. Admit it, y'all. Despite your optimism, the obstacles that you are facing make you feel like you're not strong enough to support it.

I like how when Grace's disgust says "YOU SPILLED THE TEA" Rukiya doesn't react 😆

The emotions don’t control Riley. They’re just a representation of what’s going on in her head. For example, Anxiety taking off Riley’s sense of self and Joy putting it back, was Riley questioning who she is when she was stuck choosing between Val and her friends

Sorry to correct you, but in the first movie, the main focus wasn't Joy learning about the significance of ALL of Riley's memories. More or so, it was her learning about the importance of Sadness and other negative emotions being able to take the wheel when they need to. It's in the sequel where she learned from Anxiety that "[they] don't get to choose who Riley is."

I've seen a lot of people who watched this movie say they didn't understand what Envie's purpose was—that she doesn't seem to have a clear role in the narrative. While I would have to agree with them that her "sidekick" vibe isn't written amazingly, she still serves a purpose in the story that aligns with how desire interacts with anxiety (because I do think, although Envie is a cuter name for her, she represents desire more than envy). Anxiety is a useful emotion that allows us to fear potential scenarios so we can prepare for them. It can go overboard, but it's still overall a very important emotion to have.

Anxiety gives us doubt in our ability to do something or achieve something, prompting us to prepare. But why would we need anxiety? Well, because we desire what it helps us achieve. In the movie, Riley desires friends, so anxiety helps her act accordingly to make some; she wants to get that spot on the team, so anxiety is there to help. We feel anxious because we desire.

This movie made me cry so much—three times on my first watch, twice on my second, and four times on my fourth—and I loved it so, so very much. As a person with generalized anxiety disorder, I cannot express how grateful I am that this movie exists for those who are earlier on their journey with mental illness. And I'm so thankful they made sure anxiety wasn't portrayed as evil or useless, and that they emphasized its importance throughout the movie. Believing my anxiety was my enemy was a thought that really inhibited my ability to cope with it.

the fact she got an avalanche of bad memories during an anxiety attack is chef's kiss

34:43 sadness having REAL sadness

Ok but who else thinks she SLAYED her makeup???????

I love how the lady in the headscarf on the fire hawks,is still included with the red "hair streek" because they can't show their hair, Super creative idea from the writers!

First off, you are slaying that cosplay.💙 Secondly, I love how they depict Anxiety. Not as a villain, as she wants to help Riley like the other emotions, but like Joy in the forst movie, she needs to learn to let go and let the others do their thing.

38:26 if THAT'S her deep DARK secret, then Riley's belief was definitely right, she's a good person

I love the first Inside out but this one...wow. As someone with social anxiety this movie hit deep. Oh boy. I loved it.
At the end, when Anxiety glitched with all of these thoughts running circles, this is how it feels. Man, I can't get over it.

Also, I really wanna point out that in the scene with the emotions in bed, you can see a figurine of Bing Bong by Joy's bed 😭! Makes me wonder if he can somehow come back. I've been thinking maybe Riley can find old drawings of him and ask her parents about it and they tell her about her old imaginary friend and Bing Bong can be reborn! Like to her, he's a newly created memory but the character is still the same but also he's more mature. I mean he's still his same goofy self but develops more knowledge like he can now read properly 😂

your dedication to cosplaying as the movie character you watch is so iconic!

8:23 not her literally and figuratively spilling the tea 💀💀

You saying ‘bring back bing bong’ made me realise he never got to see her grow up😭

If you look really closely at joys shelf at 5:52 you will see a paper origami of bing bong
