Of wondering if we will be made into the villains, the bad guys, the monsters of the story. It’s a sequel that truly sinks into the themes of perception and villainy. They are faced with their demise and the fate of the world in their hands. But even more so, All of Our Demise takes these characters and puts them through the emotional wringer. At the same time, I loved Isabella and Briony’s character development here. Give me a bad boy with that one person who makes him soft any day. I love a united brother sibling relationship and Al and Henry melt my heart. I can’t pick a character I loved most in All of Our Demise. It’s a feature I will never get over – this whole curse magic and life magic. I love the magical games and system in All of Our Demise. Forces, people on the fringes, and betrayal comes together and combines in an explosion. There is no loss of momentum as Foody and Herman hit the ground running. If you are searching for a sequel that is jam packed with action, look no further. Fighting for their futures and forced to make alliances. In All of Our Demise, our favorites are back again fighting for their lives. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher.

What I particularly loved about Inside Out was that it felt like a film that wasn't made for its marketability. All we can do is work our way through them and process as we go along. When we're kids growing up it's less a ride than a violent rollercoaster with no discernible beginning or end. As this movie smartly reminds us, we're often along for the ride. How we manage happiness, sadness, anger, fear - we like to feel like we're the ones in control at all times. Inside Out is probably their most mature concept piece to date by taking a smart look at the complexities of emotional intelligence. They're great about putting out commercial favorites with big themes that resonate with the audience but are still wildly entertaining. Save for the clunky The Good Dinosaur and Cars 2, Pixar's track record for delivering big concept creative storytelling that's good for everyone of all ages is impeccable.
