Inside Out 2 is the much anticipated sequel to the Disney Pixar original, Inside Out. Though created primarily for children, this movie equally serves adult audiences, making it an entertaining flick for both age brackets. While kids might be captivated by the colours, funny sounds and dynamic characters, adult viewers will stay for the emotional elements that hit close to home.

As one can see, Inside Out 2 is a sentimental and hugely imaginative, yet realistic, story about a young girl moving on to a new phase of life: adolescence. She learns to navigate the changes puberty presents while also shaping her identity in terms of friendship, hobbies, school, and more.
