Riley and her team of emotions have gotten it together over the years, creating a happy sense of self. At 13 years old, Riley hits puberty, and her primary emotional team is joined by a second crew of more complicated emotions. With Riley's life and body changing rapidly, her emotions are conflicted on how to deal with the changes. As they work through Riley's external conflict, they learn that they must all work together, creating a more complicated sense of self.

This sequel is almost as good as the original. The approach this film takes to visualizing and personifying emotions is nearly perfect. The first movie was great for helping younger children understand their emotions. This sequel does the same for older children. The story does not get into the nitty-gritty of puberty. Still, the single situation it shares encompasses many of what pre-teens and teenagers go through when growing up. The story is quick, gets to the point, and is perfect for children and young adults who tend to have short attention spans. Catch it in theaters with the family.
