Inside Out 2 is probably my favourite animated movie of all time. I’m only 22 but man, I wish I could have watched this as I was entering my 20’s because it would have helped me with forgiveness towards others but towards myself as well. I wish I could personally thank the writers and everyone else involved in the production of this film for representing anxiety in such a clever, accurate way. Of course, the other emotions are represented brilliantly, but wow they managed to explain anxiety in ways I’ve wanted to but never been able to. It made me realise so many things, but most importantly this movie makes me know that I am not my emotions, and that each emotion has a meaningful purpose - the challenge in life is that you just need to decide how much of each is applicable to your present situation; finding that perfect balance while accepting yourself as you are. This movie is perfect. I cried three times. It needs to win every award it gets nominated for. Will be rewatching the first one and watching the sequel again as soon as I get the chance. Thank you.
