After nine long years, Pixar has finally returned with the highly anticipated sequel to everyone’s favorite moody animation film: Inside Out 2. The original movie, Inside Out, carved a special place in our hearts with its clever yet hauntingly accurate portrayal of complex emotions, shining a light on often overlooked feelings like sadness, grief, and loss. While it’s technically a children’s film, the Pixar classic also offered invaluable lessons to many adults, helping us to understand ourselves and emotions better. It gently embraced our inner children, teaching us to move forward with compassion and to hold space for all our feelings — the big ones, the little ones, the joyful ones, and the sad ones.
