Transcripts

hello everybody and welcome back to

another video and today I want to talk

about the new Inside Out 2 a sequel to

the 2015 movie from Pixar as you would

expect um it's a new release and I

haven't talked about movies on this

channel in a couple months so I figured

I'd talk about it cuz it's what I'm

actually kind of interested talking

about so first we'll cover the spoiler

free stuff and yeah I'll just get

straight to the point the movie is good

is it as good as the first movie movie

I'd say so I think they're pretty even I

don't think it pulls as heavy

emotionally as the first one does cuz

there's a couple moments in the first

one that everyone knows pull really hard

but I still think there's effective

there's effective moments here but they

don't just quite get you to cry and

stuff or at least I didn't get me to cry

in the same way the first one did

however there's still a ton of really

cool ideas here there's some really fun

characters and gags that I don't want to

go into because I think they're best

left to being seen when you see the

movie instead of knowing ahead of time

that they're going to show up cuz there

are some gags that I would not have had

as much fun with if they had not if they

had been spoiled to me first so I'm

going to try in this section to just

avoid that but yeah there's some really

fun gags here there's some really unique

ideas and then yeah overall it just

really fleshes out the the the way the

first one did all the emotions in the

world of the mind and stuff really well

it had some it add some new things and

they work really well and there's a and

there's a ton of fun stuff like there's

I yet again I'm trying to avoid saying

too much because I think there's some

really fun ideas that I think are best

left to be heard about when you actually

see the movie instead

of hearing about them beforehand as I

did cuz I saw the trailers but I didn't

see much else beyond that I saw the

trailers from seeing other movies in

theaters but

otherwise I didn't watch any of the

other marketing for this movie I didn't

see any of the clips they uploaded

online or anything I generally avoided

what they had online I didn't see the

final trailer I don't know what that one

has cuz that one came out like earlier

this week and I don't know what's in

there so I can't say if that gives away

any of the things I'm trying to avoid

but yeah just generally I want to try to

keep it simple and just say yeah there's

some really cool ideas and gags here and

they're really fun and it's not as

unique as the first movie given that

it's a sequel but it still got some fun

ideas here that expand on the lore of

the first one and expand on some of the

ideas the first one had and it's just

it's just a fun time with those and then

with the characters Riley gets gets some

cool developments and stuff with new

things entering her Teenage life with

all these more complex emotions and

these things of worrying about her

future and stuff that's that's really

fun that gives more motivation and that

keeps you interested in her character

Beyond just the

emotions but also the emotions all have

really cool character character

developments too Joy gets some really

cool interestes in development

particularly involving her kind of

worrying about her purpose now that

Riley's

older and I don't want to get into that

too much either because obviously I

don't want to spoil the character arcs

but there's some cool stuff with her

there the emotions aren't as detailed

it's mainly just joy and anxiety get

character arcs but both them are really

well done and even the other ones are

still fun and still have their

moments so overall the characters are

just still a blast just like the first

movie uh we do get more of the other

emotions besides joy and sadness this

time because they get to come along in

the

adventure so it's fun to get hang out

with them a little more and get to see

them interacting with the main character

for more than just the beginning and the

end and overall it's it's just the

characters are really good the story is

pretty simple as you would expect it's

just a oh point A to point B thing if

you've seen the trailer you kind of know

that that oh they get trapped they get

trapped and then they have to go back

but there's a special thing that they

have to go grab on their way back but

still it's a pretty simple point a BC

it's not particularly complex but I

didn't expect it to be and for what it

is it works it's not great as a story

but it's it's fine it's serviceable and

because the emotions that you feel and

the emotion characters and Riley's

journey and all that it works just fine

it's not bringing the movie down it's

it's perfectly acceptable it didn't need

to be great it

works and that's all it really needed to

do

but yeah overall this was just a fun

movie like I I liked it like I said it's

not as good as the first one well it is

as good as the first one but it's not as

emotional as the first one which I

didn't expect it to be because the first

one had a lot heavier of a development

period for Riley and it had some really

big stuff happen and the and the

acceptance of sadness and stuff in one's

life is obviously a little more sad but

it's still a fun movie still a fun time

and I think it's on par with the first

one I think if you liked the first movie

yes you should check it out if you

didn't like the first movie then no but

most people like the first movie so yeah

I'd say it's worth a watch and yeah I

liked it it was fun it was a good movie

so yeah that's what I've got to say

that's spoiler free so let's real quick

dive into spoilers in three 2 one okay

spoiler waring's up um so I want to talk

about some of the some of the stuff I

liked that is spoilery so one of the

main things I talked about the was the

gag characters which I didn't really

want to spoil but we're in the spoiler

section I'm assuming you've either seen

the movie or you don't care so what I

got to say was like my favorite gag of

the movie with the characters and stuff

was like the cartoon character that they

had that was like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

and inspired with the little pouch and

stuff like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or

Dora stuff like that it it was cool and

it was fun and the way they did the gag

was awesome how they had it call out to

the audience to say the thing so then

then um the emotions had to say had to

say it to get the pouch to open up or

whatever and how he'd look around with

the audience there'd be nothing in the I

liked that that was a cute gag it was

fun and it was just it was just very

entertaining and I liked when brought

the pouch back later to try to help them

out of a scenario and stuff it was it

was cute it was very fun um the video

game character that Riley had a crush on

in the past that she was embarrassed

about was was fun that was a cool one

his ability was really goofy and stupid

and I and I thought and I thought it was

quite

funny and then the deep dark secret

that's re that's built up while they're

in the vault that they leave behind cuz

it's too soon that in the end

is like is like something they already

kind of knew

about and it's just not even that big of

a deal anymore was kind of was funny

that was a funny reveal at the end yeah

there's like and then there's like the

other gags like with them going where

anxiety has the computer thing to make

up these different these different

terrible stereos and they build up the

good ones how they have all these weird

ideas that they built up and like when

anger shows up the one that how he's not

always the guy was that was

cute but yeah it's over there's some

very funny stuff here um and then yeah

the story with anxiety having to and

with anxiety overtaking Riley and

feeling that she needs to be in control

of everything and then the emotions

realizing that they don't need to

control Riley that Riley needs to

control herself and that they just need

to they just need to be there for her to

let out her emotions when she wants them

to

was Co was cool that was a cute message

that was fun it's not it's not a super

deep message but it's still a good one

it's still one that is important and

it's fun it's it's a good message and

then yeah the whole Arc with Joy about

having to let go of her own control in

the same way anxiety has been

controlling Riley she has been even if

she doesn't really realize it that she's

been trying to control Riley making her

always be happy and stuff which isn't

going to be how it is because she's at

that point in her life where she's not

going to be happy all the time so it's

weird to force her to be and the whole

line about how about how she doubts

herself thinking that there might be a

certain age where you don't where you

don't need Joy anymore was was cute and

it and her questioning her worth and

stuff it was a it was a good moment for

her character and it was it was a

welcome one yeah seeing how joy and

anxiety are kind of like two sides of

the same coin in the way they are both

overc contr controlling and want to be

the one to steer the ship because they

think they know what's best for her and

really it should be up to her to figure

it out was was a good message and it and

led to them having cool character arcs

especially for one of them being a new

character it was it was nice how quickly

you were able to get into and care for

that that emotion because they were just

introduced in this movie it's an

effective start and it's an effective

character Arc between the two of them

and overall it's just really interesting

it's it's a cool way to do these

characters to build them up to be

opposites of each other in a way but at

the same time they're the same in a lot

of

ways even if they're going for different

things they're still going about it the

same way and it was cool like I said I

liked that the other the other emotions

like I said didn't have much character

ARS but I still thought they funny I

still thought they got to do fun stuff

like sadness breaking back into HQ was

very fun um try to think of the what the

other ones did besides just make gags

and stuff the way anger has some fun

jokes disgust and fear also both have

some fun jokes how how fear has the

little parachute in his tie at all times

or whatever because he's the fear

emotion and he's scared of everything so

he has it on him at standby for Emer for

emergencies just because for some reason

he thought that was going to happen

which I mean ended up coming to use but

and then discussed with the whole like

crush on the video game character and

stuff was

fun like I said even when they don't

have big arcs they're still fun um the

new ones also Envy uh enway with which

is boredom and embarrassment all have

some fun stuff too the way embarrassment

helps sadness out when she's breaking

into

HQ and yeah how borne sits around most

of the time and she controls the

the um the panel with her

phone was

fun that was a cool that was cool that

was

entertaining but yeah it's just it's a

cute it's cute they had cute characters

the two big ones had had their own arcs

but otherwise they're still cute

characters they still got to have fun

moments so overall yeah the characters

are fun like I

said then yeah like the story is the

story I will say like I said was pretty

simple the whole oh yeah they got kicked

out of HQ with the sense of Worth or

whatever St to go over to the back of

the mind to grab the sense of worth and

go back that's just a simple get to this

point in backstory which isn't

necessarily a new thing but it works

it's fine it didn't it didn't need to be

super complex and then yeah the whole

story with Riley building up building up

her hockey career she wanted to make

future for herself in high in high

school well anxiety one too so she was

pushing forward seeing her development

how she's got more complicated emotions

and how she's getting older and has more

to worry about was

cool you you just see how she had to

struggle with these things with these

differences of wanting to spend this

last time with your best friends before

they go to a different school or if you

want to try to get new friends for the

future while you have this this chance

in advance was nice it was it was a good

it was good it was a nice story it was a

nice story and

it it was good I don't know what else to

say beyond that really but it was good

it was it was cute it was fun it was

simple but it works really

well but yeah overall I think that's

about all I have to say about the movie

now including spoilers because I don't I

don't know I plan on seeing this one

again soon but I've only seen it once so

far so this is all I really have to say

it didn't like amaze me is like one of

the best movies I've seen in years or

anything it's just a really solid fun

movie it's really good it's not perfect

it's got its issues but overall it's a

fun time and if you're someone who's

still watching and hasn't seen the movie

yet for the spoiler section I'd

recommend even though you've heard a

bunch of spoilers now it's still go

check it out because it is a fun movie

it is worth seeing

said that's the end of this discussion
