As a cinephile who has weathered the stormy seas of adolescence and emerged on the other side with my sanity mostly intact, I can attest to the profound impact that Inside Out 2 had on me. Much like Fede Alvarez, whose horror masterpieces have left countless viewers quivering in their seats, this animated gem managed to reduce me to a puddle of emotion.
Speaking of Inside Out 2, if it turns out to be the top-earning film in 2024, it’s safe to say that the movie struck a chord with people, or that it was widely popular – these phrases barely scratch the surface. The film was a massive hit, and it appeared to stir powerful emotions in everyone who watched it, even the director of one of the most terrifying films released this year couldn’t help but feel something for it.
Known for his expertise in horror directing, Fede Alvarez recently breathed new life into the “Alien” franchise with “Alien: Romulus,” often regarded as one of the strongest entries in years. Despite his affinity for horror, you might assume his favorite movie of 2024 would be another horror film. However, he shared with Variety that his top pick was actually “Inside Out 2.” Interestingly, he was also a devoted fan of the original, expressing his admiration…
I’ve long held the conviction that the most impressive achievement for a movie is to resonate so deeply that it alters our perspective on life permanently. The original ‘Inside Out’, in particular, instilled in me the significance of occasionally welcoming sadness into our children’s – and our own – lives, an insight that remains vivid in my memory even today.
It’s well-known that “Inside Out” is often regarded as one of Pixar’s finest films, so it wasn’t unexpected that they planned a sequel. However, the challenge lay in recapturing the emotional impact of the original for viewers. Alvarez admits he believed “Inside Out 2” would carry a powerful message, but he was even more taken aback by how deeply the story drew him in, as he went on to explain…
As I settled in to watch ‘Inside Out 2’, my mind buzzed with thoughts and preconceived notions. Anticipating a profound life lesson, I found myself drawn instead into the captivating narrative. The sounds of my children’s laughter, a testament to director Kelsey Mann’s brilliant work, guided me through Riley’s initial teenage escapades and the clever inner dynamics of her new emotions. Each plot twist felt seamless and natural.
It’s clear to me what Fede Alvarez is referring to. The story of Inside Out 2 is incredibly straightforward and relatable, even my daughter, who isn’t even a teenager yet, comprehended it. I believe that if she rewatches the movie in a few years, she’ll grasp it even better.
In the general consensus, many critics found Inside Out 2 highly appealing, largely due to the identifiable nature of its narrative. Anyone who has been or currently is a teenager might find themselves deeply sympathetic towards Riley’s challenges, as Fede Alvarez – known for making audiences quiver with fear – also confessed to feeling utterly lost during his teenage years, finding Riley’s struggles particularly moving and even leaving him in tears.
Reflecting on Riley’s personal growth, memories of my teenage hardships surfaced, feeling just as lost back then. Eventually, melancholy made its presence known. Yet, I let it in, perhaps because I knew the subsequent tears would be met with a comforting understanding. This understanding stems from realizing that many of our teen experiences, though they may seem unique, are in fact common to countless others.
It’s not exactly a shock to say the teenage years are rough for a lot of people. I’m not sure mine were all that bad compared to some, but still I spent most of Inside Out 2 having flashbacks to those moments that weren’t that far from what Riley experienced on screen.
After a series of films that didn’t perform well financially, Pixar has bounced back to its usual position as a box office leader. Director Fede Alvarez considers the potential sequel to Inside Out as one of Pixar’s most outstanding accomplishments.
Reflecting on ‘Inside Out 2’, it transported me back to the essence of a masterful movie. It’s witty, captivating, emotional, and Pixar shining brightly at its peak.
Given the triumph of “Inside Out 2,” it’s not astonishing that Pixar is pondering additional films within this series. Should they manage to attract a director skilled at eliciting goosebumps who can also tug at heartstrings, then they are likely to repeat their success.
