- It's a battle inside the mind to prevent one young girl’s thoughts from being overrun by anxiety in this scene from “Inside Out 2.”
The sequel once again sets the bulk of its action inside the mind of Riley, who this time around is contending with the onset of puberty. Her emotions are still anthropomorphized by a colorful collection of characters, but with a new stage of adolescence comes an additional cast of emotions. Anxiety (voiced by Maya Hawke) arrives in the form of a wild-looking orange creature with a busy plume and a tendency to overreact.
In this scene, Anxiety is directing a room full of mind workers to draw up projections of everything that could go wrong in Riley’s big hockey match the next day, keeping the girl tossing in her sleep at each negative thought.
Narrating the scene, the film’s director, Kelsey Mann, says, “I always envisioned this being a movie about anxiety taking over, and was reflecting on my own life and how my anxiety does that in me.”
As things become overwhelming, Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler) infiltrates Anxiety’s plan and begins to draw up positive projections to send to Riley to make her feel better. As she tries to get the mind workers to rise up against Anxiety, a number of film references come into play, from “Norma Rae” to “Jerry Maguire,” with a little bit of “Network” thrown in.

This is the rare sequel that moved me even more than the original.
The scene where Riley has a panic attack really got me.
I love knowing how this scene was crafted and also the whole idea behind it. When I went to see it, most of us were adults in my showing and that was pretty cool to see. These last scenes really hit you hard because I think we can all relate to that anxiety feeling, some worse than others, and it was so well portrayed in the movie that you could not help to be moved by it. Pixar did an amazing job in this movie, so the amazing success is well deserved 👏👏
My favourite movie of 2024 so far. My little cousins and I saw it last weekend, and all greatly enjoyed it.
Seems like an interesting concept for a movie.
The apple commercial reference was hilarious
All jokes aside. I have severe anxiety, especially at night. It causes me to have really bad insomnia. Days at time without sleep. It sucks
I'm sorry to hear that. Just wondering, do you have a TV? I find that having a TV severely adds to my anxiety. At the end of a hard days work we need to totally relax and listen in to our thoughts while we still have some energy to deal with them in a realistic way. Watching TV at the end of the day simply buries those thoughts under a jumbled mass of overly stimulating images and characters that have no relation directly to our lives. Instead of watching TV go running, cook a healthy meal (with extra for a few days) or read a book. Philosophy books work best for me as they expand on ideas we all have and help to address the complexity of what it feels like to be alive. Behavioural psychologist call it a keystone habit. Change one significant habit in your life and it will have a positive ripple effect on every other aspect of your life. And it creates a positive feedback loop, whereby the benefits are tangibly felt, improving exponentially as you go forwards into your own future. Sacrifice has to be made in order to make an improvement. Something has to give. But we feel as though we should do what everyone else does in order to fit in. This makes it hard to implement positive change. IGNORE THAT WAY OF THINKING! Make the change YOU need to make in your own life and flourish. Good luck.
This movie was beautiful. I'm glad I watched it.
Great movie, I had low expectations but it made me ugly cry . Good job
They outdid themselves with this scene
I LOVE this sequel.
Anxiety is literally like fear but more advanced
A mix of fear and excitement
Sure the film was exactly like the first movie but it exceeded my expectations and I do believe Inside Out 2 really brought back the feels to Pixar and that they hit it out of the ballpark. 10/10 for Disney/Pixar they need this win and I'm obsesed with this movie right now as a film buff and lover of animated movies like this
To anyone who doesn’t understand, this whole place is an animation studio, or what an animation studio used to be, with desks that had animation discs attached to them so animators could do animation on paper, long before digital options became mainstream, and this scene, basically screams the industry’s disrespect towards hand drawn animation.
2:49 “umm joy reality is also a thing”
I love every scene that has Anxiety. So this scene is one of my favorites.
I would love the last movie to be about like getting really old and Riley getting dementia or Alzheimer's and the headquarters slowly deteriorating over time and everything in Riley’s mind gone but all an empty bliss.
You skipped adulthood :o
I mean we don’t want a Toy Story situation where there’s like 6 sequels that’s just to much you know what I’m sayin
That sounds a bit too dark for a Pixar movie lol
@@nobodyburgen4594 may turn the lights on or something
Has a cartoon ever won Best Picture?
I don't think it has but this should be in the running
Has the voice of Anxiety read 1984?
I Love 1984 Reference
Color animation fabulous.
1:45 joyyy i know you in thereeee
❤❤❤

👍🏾🙏🏾💙
this movie had such a MASSIVE impact on me as a 25 year old girl who’s struggled with anxiety her entire life
🧡🥹 made a video on my channel all about it.

if they did an Inside Out about Joe Biden it'd be like the monkey in Homer's head with the cymbals
If they did Inside Out about Trump it'd be multiple of Biden's because he lives in Trump's head 24/7
