Inside Out 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Donald Clarke Irish Times After a period of some ups and more downs, Pixar can at least boast of following up one of their later classics respectfully. Deserves the healthy audiences it will surely stir up. Rated: 4/5 Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I found it a worthy sequel. Just about as clever, moving, and enjoyable as the original film. Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Philip De Semlyen Time Out Sparky, kaleidoscopic and boldly honest about the tougher side of growing up, Inside Out 2 is Pixar’s most profound and moving movie since, well, Inside Out. Rated: 4/5 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Clement Tyler Obropta Film Inquiry With a creaky story, a total absence of logic, and the most squeaky-clean depiction of puberty you could imagine, Inside Out 2 feels less like a $200 million film and more like a cash-grab made-for-TV movie. Aug 26, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) John Serba Decider And much like the first movie, Inside Out 2 is wildly funny, tender and sweet, and a little bit tearjerky. Aug 20, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Matthew Huff Parade Magazine While Inside Out 2 might lack the emotional gut punch of some of Pixar's previous entries, it's short, sweet and competently crafted. While it might not be Pixar's best, it's also not their worst, and that's a much needed win for the studio. Rated: B Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
