Good

I watched this movie in theaters with my parents and two little sisters. my youngest sister just turned 7 a few months ago and she was fine with it, I really don't understand people saying 10 plus unless your trying to keep kids very controlled, I believe kids should learn about things such as puberty and anxiety etc early on considering that they happen to everyone eventually.

Sequel Does Not Disappoint.

Inside Out 2 is brilliant. Going through all the emotions, watching it is a true roller coaster. A perfect sequel to the original movie, and great for younger kids to understand emotions better, and older kids who grew up watching the original. You see the highs and lows of growing up, how you can't allow one emotion overtake you, making sure to stay true to yourself. Full of a star studded cast, great messages, and an honest view about growing up and maturing, Inside Out 2 is an amazing movie for the whole family, any age, that will make you laugh and cry at the same time.

Great movie, I love it!

It was a great movie; I think it showed how puberty can affect you and how life can be difficult. I think it was crazy when Riley was having a panic attack, but I think the ending was cute, and I loved Val, she was really cool and chill. I really hope that they make an Inside Out 3 in the future.

AMAZING ^^

I watched it around an hour ago today, it was amazing! I enjoyed all of it! However, I have a feeling younger children wouldn't understand what the new emotions are, which is why I think the age rating on the second movie should be around 8+ really. However, it is really educational for them though at the same time lol.

Extremely relatable, great storytelling, funny, and for ALL AGES! (everyone has something to learn from this movie.)

honestly was not what i was expecting. I was REALLY impressed!! They captured puberty and anxiety perfectly and in the end you learn a very important lesson. As a 16 year old, I actually learned something from the movie and as much as it was heartwarming, it was also funny and it made you cringe sometimes but it’s all in the process of starting your teenage years so they make riley extremely relatable!! I 100% recommend this movie for any family or even any adult who liked the first movie.

Beautiful movie

Inside out 2 was a lovely movie, carrying life themes and the importance of feeling your emotions in a form that even the youngest of kids can understand. It’s so important for kids as they grow to understand and accept what they are feeling, and learn how to embrace it in a character building, non judgmental way. In the movie, characters make mistakes, and try to rid the mind of all regretful memories. However, they are only successful when they learn that every emotion, positive or negative, is vital to embrace and grow from. Couldn’t recommend enough, shines from the inside out.

It got better somehow??

The film blew my expectations out of the park. You might think I’m exaggerating, but this was the closest I’ve ever felt to being “seen” in a movie. The way Riley’s internal conflicts causes her to screw up real world things that feel realistic (unlike the first movie in which she just took off, and that’s not super common) aid the movie immensely. The new emotions worked great too. I mean, the producers managed to put an anxiety attack in a kids cartoon. A KIDS CARTOON. in my opinion, both kids and adults should watch this because you really do need to sometimes be reminded on how your mind works.

Sex, Romance & Nudity

Detailed, erotic descriptions of adults having sex mention genital and manual penetration, manual stimulation, thrusting, tremors, entering, pulling out. moaning, biting, tremors, jerking with release, a tongue on a breast, and detailed descriptions of kissing with tongue and caressing. Teen sex in the past is described vaguely with kissing and breathing. Characters talk and think a lot about romance and having sex. Condom use is mentioned once. Sex is used to intimidate when a man arouses a woman by penetrating her with his fingers and while doing so pulling hard on her hair, squeezing her throat, and asking her questions out of jealousy.
