Kelsey Mann’s “Inside Out 2” presents a nuanced version of the personified antagonist Anxiety, navigating the highs and lows of an emotion familiar to many, writes Noah Berlatsky.
I’m not especially malevolent or intimidating, so I didn’t expect to be the villain in the new Pixar kids’ film, “Inside Out 2.” But as it turns out, the antagonist in the movie is the personification of Anxiety . And while I would not say that I am the personification of anxiety, if you looked inside my head at the control board of my emotions, anxiety would be in charge more than I’d like to admit. Many people who live with a lot of anxiety would agree that anxiety is not a lot of fun.
Then she’s up at some ungodly hour practicing on the ice because big, toothy, orange-mouthed anxiety is bouncing around her head like a carrot-colored hurricane. Anxiety doesn’t just keep Riley from her sleep, though. Anxiety is the antagonist in “Inside Out 2” because it separates Riley from her core self. Before Anxiety’s arrival, Riley was self-confident, kind, devoted to her friends and generally a good person. But anxiety changes all that.
