Funnier and cleverer than Pixar's original: LARUSHKA IVAN-ZADEH reviews Inside Out 2


Once upon a time, cartoons were populated by cute, dancing animals and fairytale princesses. No longer, if Inside Out 2 is anything to go by.

Riley has just turned 13 - cue a hilarious Kevin The Teenager sequence where a big red demolition button marked ‘Puberty’ is pushed, transforming her, overnight, into a pimply, stinky, impossible-to-handle adolescent, as complicated emotions like Envy (Ayo Edebiri) and Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser) move in. Thickly bespectacled, cherubically plucky six-year-old Cleo (Louise Mauroy-Panzani) is devastated when her beloved nanny, Gloria (Ilca Moreno Zego), has to leave Paris for her native Cape Verde to care for her own children after the death of her mother. Shot in Ireland, this low-budget horror casts him as the father of twin teenage boys (Jaeden Martell and Maxwell Jenkins), battling for survival in a post-apocalyptic world against freakish mutant creatures which appear to be afraid of the light.
