Inside Out 2
Just stopped watching "Inside Out 2" released by Disney/Pixar.
Hollywood, along with other entertainment mediums, loves a movie becomes an unexpected breakaway hit and rakes in the do-ray-me. The original movie in the "Inside Out" now franchise grossed $858.8 million worldwide, finishing its theatrical run as the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2015 when it was released. It should be noted that this figure does not include merchandise/DVD sales.
Eleven years later, "Inside Out 2" grossed $1.696 billion worldwide, breaking multiple box-office records, including becoming the highest-grossing animated film of all time. It also became the highest-grossing film of 2024 and the eighth-highest-grossing film of all time. Again, it should be noted that It should be noted that this figure does not include merchandise/DVD sales.
So why did I stop watching it?
Two years after her move to San Francisco, 13-year-old Riley Andersen is entering high school. Her personified emotions—Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger—now oversee a newly formed element of Riley's mind called her "Sense of Self", which houses memories and feelings that shape Riley's beliefs.
Riley and her best friends, Bree and Grace, are invited to a weekend ice hockey camp, where Riley hopes to qualify for her new school's team, the Firehawks. However, a "Puberty Alarm" goes off the night before camp, and a group of mind workers upgrade the emotion console, leaving Headquarters in disarray. The emotions find that Riley now overreacts to any inputs they make to the console. Four new emotions—Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, and Ennui—arrive and clash with the original emotions over their approaches. In particular, Joy wants Riley to have fun at camp, while Anxiety focuses on winning a spot on the team and making new friends, especially after Riley learns that Bree and Grace will be attending a different high school.
To me, "Inside Out 2" simply didn't tell a compelling story and the animation seemed stale and lackluster with no vibrancy or originality.
Perhaps I will try re-watching it again in a few years, but I got 47 minutes in and I had hit eject on my blu-ray player because I was forcing myself to watch this movie.
Hopefully Disney/Pixar will learn the "Weekend At Bernie's 2" lesson - just because a sequel is widely acclaimed and makes even more money than the original doesn't mean a sequel needs to be made to ride the gravy train. Note to Disney/Pixar, "Weekend At Bernie's 3" never got beyond the thinking stage.
STRONGLY NOT RECOMMEDNED!
ZERO STARS!
