Selena Gomez Endorses Inside Out 2 as Must-See for Her Future Kids
In a recent appearance on Amy Poehler's podcast "Good Hang With Amy Poehler," Selena Gomez revealed that she plans to make her future children watch Disney and Pixar's Inside Out 2, which she found emotionally resonant. The singer-actress-businesswoman praised the animated movie franchise, particularly its sequel, for tackling complex emotions in a way that is both relatable and impactful.
"I watched it with my sister and I completely sobbed because it's so factual," Gomez said on the podcast's September 9 episode. "I almost feel like it should have been a requirement in school to watch that as a homework assignment." Her 12-year-old sister, Gracie, also cried during the movie.
Gomez's endorsement of Inside Out 2 comes as no surprise given her own emotional connection to the film. The movie franchise follows the inner workings of a young girl's mind as she navigates various emotions and experiences. In Inside Out 2, Anxiety is introduced as a new character, adding depth to the story.
The success of the Inside Out franchise can be attributed to its ability to tackle complex emotions in a way that is accessible to audiences of all ages. The movies' use of vibrant animation and engaging storytelling has made them a staple in many households.
Industry experts agree that Gomez's endorsement will likely boost interest in the movie among parents and children alike. "Selena Gomez is a beloved figure in popular culture, and her recommendation carries significant weight," said film critic Emily Nussbaum. "It's no surprise that she would recommend a movie that resonates with her on an emotional level."
As for what's next, Disney and Pixar have not announced any plans to release Inside Out 3 or further sequels. However, the success of the franchise has paved the way for future projects exploring complex emotions in animation.
In related news, Gomez is set to tie the knot with music producer Benny Blanco later this year. The couple's wedding date remains a closely guarded secret.
With its relatable characters and engaging storyline, Inside Out 2 is sure to remain a favorite among audiences for years to come. As Gomez so aptly put it, "it's so factual" that it should be required viewing for all kids – including her own someday.
