Pixar‘s latest venture into sequels won’t include another Cars movie (yet…hopefully they’ll keep it that way) but instead, viewers will finally get to see what Riley and her emotions have been up to since 2015’s Inside Out. Now that Riley is a teen, she will surely have some more stuff to say. Or TikToks to make.
The sequel to the acclaimed film was announced in September 2022 when it was confirmed that Amy Poehler would return as Joy, the blue-haired emotion living in Riley’s complex little noggin. But not the entire cast will return for the sequel due to salary disputes, so the gang might sound a little different. Here is everything we know so far about Inside Out 2, which will be directed by longtime Pixar collaborator Kelsey Mann.
Here is the official synopsis:
Inside Out 2 returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone.
The teaser trailer was released earlier this month, finally introducing the world to Anxiety. A lot of us have already met.
Inside Out 2 will be released in theaters on June 14th, 2024.
