The 2015 movie is all about the 11 year old girl named Riley and her emotions. It is a heartwarming film that will make you cry in some parts. The original film was directed by Pete Docter from a screenplay written by him, Josh Cooley and Meg LeFauve. It stars Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith and Lewis Black.
Joy
There aren’t many movies focusing on teenage emotions but Pixar is able to portray them in a way that’s funny and sweet. Inside Out 2 picks up the story of Riley moving away from home and adjusting to her new school while experiencing a range of big emotions.
It’s no surprise that the original Inside Out is getting a sequel. The 123movies film was both a critical success and box office juggernaut when it debuted in 2015. The trailer for the 2024 release teases Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust in action as they try to save Riley from being sent to long-term storage. Maya Hawke joins the cast as Anxiety, while Amy Poehler returns as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, and Tony Hale as Fear (replacing Bill Hader) with Liza Lapira replacing Mindy Kaling as Disgust.
Sadness
When Pixar announced that it was bringing back Inside Out, fans jumped for joy. After all, the 2015 film was a heartwarming and hilarious look into what goes on in a girl’s mind.
The sequel sees Riley (Kaitlyn Dias) hit her teen years, and the emotions in her tumultuous brain have a lot to deal with. Amy Poehler returns as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness and Lewis Black as Anger. Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling aren’t returning — but Tony Hale steps in for Hader as Fear and Liza Lapira replaces Kaling as Disgust.
As they explore the long-term memory area, Joy and Sadness learn that there’s more to happiness than boundless positivity. Together, they work to transform Riley’s core memories into ones that are a source of strength for her.
Anger
Inside Out 2 is the follow-up to 2015’s hit Pixar film about the emotions (Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger) that live in a hockey-loving 11-year-old girl’s brain. It follows her family’s move from Minnesota to San Francisco, and the struggles her emotions have with her new life.
The first movie was a heartwarming tearjerker, and this sequel looks to take that formula to the next level. This time, Riley is a teenager, and she’s got a new emotion to deal with.
Maya Hawke voices Anxiety in the film, which also stars Amy Poehler as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, and Tony Hale as Fear. Mindy Kaling and Bill Hader passed on voicing roles for the sequel, which was directed by Kelsey Mann in his feature directorial debut, with Mark Nielsen producing.
Fear
The popular animation studio’s first movie about emotions has gotten a sequel that delves into the teenage years of Riley, the heroine from Inside Out. That means hormones, a lot of feelings and some tough moments.
The original Inside Out was a huge hit, and the trailer for the 2024 film has broken the record for the most views of any animated trailer in 24 hours on YouTube and TikTok. It also broke records for the most views of a non-Disney/Pixar trailer on both platforms in the same day. The 157 million views were mostly from TikTok. The movie is directed by Pete Docter, who consulted with psychologists and neuroscientists to ensure the characters accurately reflect human emotional responses. Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith and Lewis Black return as Joy, Sadness and Anger, while Tony Hale and Liza Lapira take over for Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling as Fear and Disgust, respectively. Maya Hawke is voicing the new emotion, Anxiety.
Disgust
The first Inside Out was one of Pixar’s biggest hits – and it’s no surprise that a sequel is on the way. The 2015 movie looked at the inner workings of Riley’s mind as her life was upended by her family’s move to San Francisco. It also took viewers on a journey through the personified emotions that occupy her brain (Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust).
Inside Out 2 will follow Riley as she enters the teen years and the emotions may be in for a rude awakening at how complicated this time of their lives can be. According to the trailer, the film will introduce new emotions like Anxiety.
The film will see Amy Poehler reprising her role as Joy, Phyllis Smith voice Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Tony Hale as Fear and Liza Lapira as Disgust. Pete Docter is not returning as director, but he will be producing along with Mark Nielsen and Meg LeFauve.
