Reaction Roundup: Fans Share First Thoughts on “Inside Out 2”

It’s time to head back inside Riley’s mind. Inside Out 2 is hitting theaters on June 14th, but a select few have already been able to see the film and are sharing their thoughts on social media.

It seems that Inside Out 2 is a worthy sequel to a beloved and smart film.

#InsideOut2 heralds Pixar back to top form. Everything from animation to story and the introduction of Anxiety, Envy and Embarrassment make this one of the best sequels in ages. Filled with great laughs, plenty of easter eggs and lots of emotion. This is animated perfection. pic.twitter.com/U4dKmhHHLg

#InsideOut2 is magical, emotional and visually stunning. They really managed to reach the high levels of its predecessor.

The film has a huge heart and the new characters add the perfect touch to it. Maya Hawke is a massive standout.

Some have highlighted how the film is quite “powerful”, leaving viewers moved by Riley’s next chapter.

#InsideOut2 is ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL and one of the most POWERFUL @Pixar films ever made. A beautifully crafted and emotionally mature sequel that stands side by side with the original. Maya Hawke is UNFORGETTABLE as Anxiety and steals the show. A MUST WATCH for all ages! pic.twitter.com/JrEbZmLWYP

While they still found it enjoyable, a few cited the lack of an equitable emotional punch compared to the first film.

No need to be anxious about Inside Out 2. The Pixar sequel approaches growing up in the same funny, inventive and affecting way as the first movie. It doesn't hit quite as hard emotionally (no "take her to the moon" moment), but it delivers a relatable message in a winning way. pic.twitter.com/HRGUvhT7wa

Inside Out 2 is quite fantastic.

It didn’t hit the same emotional depth of the first but, much like Riley, it has matured and gotten bigger. The new emotions are fantastic, especially Anxiety. Great sentiments for kids and parents to feel, all with an engaging pace.

Loved it. pic.twitter.com/RgKDqOONmK
