It's the biggest hit at the global box office this year and you can catch it tonight to have an emotional family holiday season!
The end of year celebrations are an opportunity to gather as a family for a reunion with fanfare which often makes us go through all the emotions, which we control more or less well especially when we go through the phase often called ungrateful , wrongly, of adolescence.
And the animation geniuses at Pixar have understood that well! This is why they decided to give a sequel to one of their best films, nine years later, which we advise you to see with the children and teenagers around you.
Remember Vice-Versa, winner of the Oscar for best animated film in 2016 which presented us with Riley, 11 years old, prey to his primary emotions: Joy, Anger, Disgust, Fear and Sadness. From the young girl's Brain Quarter, they try to preserve her in the face of various changes in her life, which will disrupt her short and long term memory.
The biggest global box office success in 2024 to catch up with the family
This year, Pixar studios introduced young and old to the continuation of Riley's adventures in Vice-Versa 2. This time, the young girl is a 13-year-old teenager who has to face lots of first times and the effects of puberty.
The primary emotions are soon joined by new emotions that are even more difficult to manage: Envy, Embarrassment, Boredom and especially Anxiety, in which many spectators recognized themselves and were touched by this increasingly widespread uneasiness discussed in our society.
It is through this new chapter in Riley's life, experienced by many adults and anticipated by many pre-teens, that Vice-Versa 2 was able to conquer the hearts and minds of spectators, who flocked to dark rooms.
Between friendship, the views of others, self-confidence, questions, anxiety and the desire for freedom, Riley's journey through adolescence is not easy. He makes us go through all the emotions while bringing us beautiful tears in this even more ingenious, poetic and joyful animated film!
No wonder Vice-Versa 2 is quite simply the biggest worldwide box office success of the year with almost $1.7 billion in revenue. In France, success was also there since the Pixar film is the third most viewed feature film of the year in cinemas, with more than 8.4 million spectators.
If you missed it in theaters or if you want to see it again for a family session, know that Vice-Versa is broadcast this Tuesday, December 24 at 7:30 p.m. on CANAL+. The film is also available on myCANAL and will also be broadcast on Friday December 27 at 9 p.m. on CANAL+.
