The first “Inside Out” is one of the best Pixar films, ranking in the top five on both my personal list and Rotten Tomatoes It is a powerful and moving story with gorgeous animation and a life-giving inner emotion In the sequel, we return to the mind of Riley as a teenager, and headquarters has changed dramatically to embrace new emotions: insecurity (Maya Hawk), envy (Ayo Edeviri), weariness (Adele Exarchopoulos), embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser) We are all familiar with the chaos of a teenager's inner thoughts and emotions, which makes “Inside Out 2” even more ridiculous than the original
