The latest film from Pixar Studios is a real box office hit at the international and French box office. But you may have missed this final scene that comes after the end credits.
Inside Out 2 continues to sail towards success. The latest Animation Film from Pixar Studios is a real hit, since it has grossed 1 billion at the global box office and has already attracted 3.2 million spectators in France. Many spectators have shown their curiosity at the idea of discovering the new emotions of young Riley, who enters the tumult of adolescence. But be careful if you are going to see the film in the next few days not to leave before the end: Inside Out 2 ends with a post-credits scene.
THE Pixar movies had accustomed viewers to a final blooper reel in its credits, a brilliant idea abandoned in the last films. Inside Out 2 now takes the trend of Marvel movies with the post-credits scene. However, this sequence, as funny as it is, does not deprive the viewer of the pleasure of watching nor does it announce a sequel. It is only a nod to the rest of the feature film.
Warning, the following contains spoilers for this scene.. In this final sequence, we find Joy, who decides to get Riley’s dark secret out, locked in a mental safe. At the end of the credits, this gigantic monster reveals this secret: Riley once made a hole in the carpet by burning it. Joy bursts out laughing, saying that she thought the dark secret was the time the young girl peed in the pool. The monster is then terrified and decides to go back to lock itself in the safe. Riley has a new shameful secret to keep preciously.
Synopsis – Riley is now 13 years old. And the time for the teenage crisis has clearly come, since the seat of emotions has become a chaotic place with a precarious balance!
After the first episode, the bet of a sequel was daring. And obviously, this second part does not benefit from the surprise effect of the first film. We find in Inside Out 2 the emotions we know (Joy, Disgust, Anger, Fear and Sadness), eclipsed by the new emotions that accompany Riley now that she is a teenager: Envy, Boredom, Embarrassment and especially Anxiety.
If the universe, the characters, the colors, the settings and the narrative mechanics (a journey into Riley’s brain and a battle of emotions to take control) are familiar and border on the feeling of déjà vu, the director Kelsey Mann tries to breathe more complexity into it, adolescence requires. New concepts make their entrance, in particular nostalgia, guilty pleasures, but especially the “belief system” in oneself, which shapes Riley’s identity. Through the ideas of friendships that fade and that are created, personal and selfish ambitions, dreams to be realized… Inside Out 2 paints a very rich and tender portrait of this awkward age when we begin to shape our future adulthood, far from the usual clichés.
There are already a lot of elements in this second episode of Vice versasometimes too much, and we can regret that the attention is not focused more on the upheavals of puberty from an emotional point of view in a large fresco. But it is because the subject of the film tackles a deeper evil that affects adolescents and sometimes follows them into adulthood: Anxiety. It is the real whirlwind of this film, the one that seeks to protect us to the point of completely paralyzing us. Anxiety is a new colorful character, magnificently interpreted by Dorothée Pousséo in VF, which gives rise to the most moving scene of the film, in its finale.
Unfortunately, it is the only one of this ilk, since the emotional power of this second opus remains diminished compared to the first film which had brought the spectators to the ground (with the unforgettable Bing-Bong in particular), Inside Out 2 lack of pivotal moments that knock us down and force us to put certain moments of our lives into perspective. The fault, mainly, lies in a cartoonish road trip of the main emotions to please the little ones, which weighs down the pace and the message. But Inside Out 2 remains a very good animated film and a good Pixar, which fans of the studio will discover with pleasure at the cinema.
Since its release on June 14 in the United States and June 19 in France, Inside Out 2 is a hit. In just two weeks, the latest Pixar film has grossed over a billion worldwide, and brought over 3 million French moviegoers to theaters. For comparison, only The world of Nemo in 2003 did better for a Pixar title at the same stage, with 3.5 million spectators in two weeks. Note that the animated film had then attracted 9.3 million French spectators. The future of Inside Out 2 looks happy!
