Hi all,
This one seems to have almost snuck out without a huge amount of PR around it that I've seen but it's box office has been amazing for Pixar, who really needed a win after so many recent flops, with it hitting almost $300m in a just a few days. It came out a few days ago and from everything I'm seeing (even from the usual 'I hate Disney' folks) it looks like its a really good film!

Reviews -
The Guardian - 4/5 - "What’s new is the subtle message that tribalism is toxic. And it’s subtle because the girls Riley wants to impress are nice.......The pressure to belong to a winning team leads to a panic-attack sequence as moving, and visually inventive, as anything in those impeccable Pixar spin-offs Toy Story 2 and 3."

Forbes - "it’s a beautifully crafted film that’s equal parts hilarious and moving. Pixar is at the top of its storytelling and animation game, and I can’t recommend this highly enough."

The New York Times - "[it's] a wistful conceptual dazzler about a girl that is also a testament to one of the pleasures of movies: the engagement of our emotions."

Empire - 4/5 - "Through this decade so far, Pixar’s films have held great ideas that haven’t quite reached their full potential. This is probably its best film since Coco, and best sequel since Toy Story 3."

BBC - 4/5 - "Inside Out 2 glimmers with diamond-hard truths about the complex business of being a human being – especially a teenage human being – but it's still a fast-paced and playful comedy adventure with even more jokes and more puns than Inside Out."
www.bbc.com
Telegraph - 4/5 - "It may be some time in the Hollywood animation world since Pixar was the only show in town. But on form, they remain a vital one."

Daily Mail - 4/5 - "while it can’t hope to recapture the novelty factor of the first Inside Out (indeed, the plot is basically the same, although Riley was only 11 at the start of the original), it’s otherwise even funnier, cleverer and more awesomely inventive, if not (thankfully) as emotionally devastating."

LARUSHKA IVAN-ZADEH reviews Inside Out 2
Once upon a time, cartoons were populated by cute, dancing animals and fairytale princesses. No longer, if Inside Out 2 is anything to go by.
