While I’m a huge fan of Disney and Pixar movies, the original “Inside Out” was very middle-of-the-road for me. I can appreciate what they were going for, and it’s a great reference tool for children to better communicate their emotions, but it didn’t resonate with me beyond “Well, that was a fun kids’ movie.”
It’s a completely different story for my husband, a former Navy brat who was not at all prepared for the absolute emotional gut-punch Riley’s story of struggling to fit in would be. Suffice it to say, when he suggested seeing “Inside Out 2” in theaters, there was not a thing in this world that could stop me from getting him there.
