After the failure of Lightyear and the gingerly success of Elemental, its latest release, Inside Out 2, has turned out to be 2024's biggest blockbuster yet, raking in $1.26 billion so far.
Inside Out 2 is a sequel to a 2015 coming-of-age drama about the personified emotions inside the mind of a young girl named Riley. In the new flick, Riley has hit puberty and is facing a fresh set of emotions. The ringleader of those antagonistic emotions is Anxiety.
Depicted as a dainty, shrivelled, orange-skinned girl, Anxiety by no means looks like the lead antagonist of a Hollywood blockbuster. But we must not judge the book by its cover. Anxiety, when it gets into action, is unknowingly sinister, quite like in real life.
Pixar knows anxiety well enough.
This is a studio that has seen towering success since its inception, rarely misreading the pulse of its audience. Directors and writers at Pixar spend years in the development phase of a movie, churning out iteration after iteration in a time-consuming and exorbitant process.
