Change can often be as painful as it is inevitable.
This is a fact of life and a fact that hauntsInside Out 2.
Rileys 12, what could happen?
her emotions absently muse among themselves.
To be perfectly honest: not this time.
Rushmore of tween crushes; and these days playing hockey seems like the most important thing in the world.
But thats because Joy is still in control of a happy childhood.
The day after Rileys 13th, though, it all changes.
At first amusingly so as an alarm called Puberty begins blaring in the middle of the night.
However, much else ofInside Out 2is unable to recapture that same disarming ingenuity.
But its also borne from the humor and pathos likewise leaning heavy on pleasant, nod-inducing recognizability.
The series overall metaphor is thus rendered more basic.
It will serve as a wonderful way for families to discuss difficult and abstract feelings.
It just might not leave the parents in tears this time.
Still, thats not a wholly bad thing.
