Filipino teenagers and kids at heart are learning how to manage their complex emotions through a newly released heartwarming Pixar tale. Puberty is a rough journey to deal with, as it is a phase children go into once they hit their teen years. Aside from the physical changes the body undergoes, there are constant emotional shifts growing kids go into such as mood swings and intense emotions, among others, that they may not even know how to handle at first. “Inside Out 2” explains to teenagers how emotional changes, such as shame or anxiety, are normal and valid. A few online users who have already watched Pixar’s new movie shared their initial reactions and thoughts on how impactful the story is in real-life situations, especially when it comes to growing up. Lyqa Maravilla, a registered psychometrician and an educational content creator, shared how important it is to determine and navigate emotions, whether they’re positive or negative. “It helps open up the conversation about emotions and a person’s emotional wellbeing. And how to help you be a better you,” she said on TikTok. She added that the film was not only made to simplify emotional intelligence to kids but rather create “a gateway to longer conversations”. Meanwhile, another online user said that the film drew real-time emotions as they resonated with the moral behind the story.
"Inside Out 2" sounds like it's really hitting home by showing that all those emotional ups and downs during puberty are totally normal and okay. It's great that it's sparking important conversations about mental health and emotional wellbeing. Kudos to Pixar for making such impactful films!
