Inside Out 2
Teenager Riley's mind headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone.

Riley suffers panic attack during final hockey tryout match
Joy breaks down unable to figure out how to save Riley
The film surges from Joy's emotional breakdown to Riley's powerfully depicted panic attack, which critics found deeply moving and authentic.
Critics found Inside Out 2 to be a worthy successor that captures teenage anxiety with psychological authenticity, though many noted it lacks some of the original's creative wonder and emotional depth. The panic attack sequence emerged as a standout moment that resonated powerfully with audiences. While some felt the plot was repetitive and rushed, most appreciated the mature themes and Maya Hawke's performance as Anxiety.
