"Inside Out 2," released in June 2024, continues Pixar's exploration of human emotions by delving into the complexities of adolescence. Set two years after the original, the film follows 13-year-old Riley as she navigates the challenges of puberty, introducing new emotions such as Anxiety (voiced by Maya Hawke), Envy (Ayo Edebiri), Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser), and Ennui (Adèle Exarchopoulos).
Critics have generally praised the film for its insightful portrayal of teenage emotional turmoil and its vibrant animation. Moira Macdonald of The Seattle Times describes it as "a happy head trip, for any age," commending the voice cast and the film's approach to complex themes. Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph highlights the film's "animation, metaphors, and wit," noting that it expands upon the original's premise effectively.
However, some reviewers feel the sequel doesn't fully capture the originality of its predecessor. Alison Willmore of Vulture refers to it as "another product of the Pixar slump," suggesting that it lacks the innovative spark of the first film. Similarly, David Ehrlich of IndieWire offers a 'C–' rating, commenting that the film "ticks Pixar's boxes" but struggles with the "sincerity of its storytelling."
Despite these mixed critiques, "Inside Out 2" has achieved significant commercial success. It became the highest-grossing animated film of all time, earning over $1.6 billion worldwide. The film also holds several records, including the highest worldwide debut in Pixar history and the highest-grossing Pixar film domestically, surpassing "Incredibles 2."
In summary, "Inside Out 2" offers a thoughtful continuation of Riley's journey into adolescence, introducing new emotions and challenges. While it may not entirely match the innovative impact of the original, it provides a meaningful exploration of growing up, resonating with both young audiences and adults.
