SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Inside Out 2 director Kelsey Mann explains the emotional ending of the new Pixar film and why it provides a valuable life lesson. The sequel sees Joy and the original emotions from the first film challenged by the arrival of Anxiety and several other new emotions.
In an interview with USA Today, Mann discusses how the conflict between Joy and Anxiety comes to a satisfying conclusion, showing the value both emotions bring to everyday life, and how the characters' compromise teaches a larger lesson about dealing with real challenges. Read Mann's comments below: They're two parents arguing over how to best take care of their child. She's trying to help Riley, but she just went too far and got caught up in it like we all can do just as parents and as people. And like Anxiety, our anxieties can spin. I've definitely had that happen in my own life. It can get to a point where it's actually harmful. So it's learning how to manage anxiety in a way that can be really helpful to your life.
