For the most part the movie had some clever ideas but was less inspired than the first movie. In particular, this movie focused more on the extent to which the emotions control Riley's actions, and in doing so, the inconsistency was made noticeable. I believe too the first movie was inconsistent, but there was a greater focus on the importance of having multiple emotions. For example, in the first movie, Joy and Sadness had to influence Riley's dream to wake her up. In this movie, it seems Anxiety was able to get Riley to wake up early for hockey practice directly via the console.
On a different note, while Anxiety and Envy had clear goals, it was unclear to me why Embarassment would be motivated to help Sadness.
And on yet another different note, if the first movie had the foresight of adding additional emotions to the adults, then I think this movie would have greatly benefited. Alternatively, they should have spent the minute to figure out how to explain it away in the minds of the adults.
Instant Comments:
Hahaha. "Do I ever drive you astray?" "Constantly"
parody of Blue's Clues? [the Wikipedia page says Bloofy is similar to the hosts of Blue's Clues and Dora the Explorer while Pouchy is similar to Backpack from Dora the Explorer and Toodles from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse]
hehe. dynamite
what happens to these new emotions in the adults?
I left at where they choose Sadness to return to headquarters; ~40 minute mark
hehe "sar-chasm"
a parody of the Apple ad where the one person throws a computer (?) at the screen
that's a tearjerker. they come in to hug her new sense of self. thought I thought that since her friend had seen her in the box that her friend would have been the reason she calmed down
the adults show their anxiety pop up, but it's more of a... something like a retcon. I feel it's an unsatisfying answer to where those emotions would go. technically they should have already been in the adults in the first movie
I think a better way to address it would have been to compartmentalize the emotions in a different subarea. Like when you grow up, some of those emotions should have a secondary purpose
Post-Credits: Joy speaks with the Deep Dark Secret.
