Nearly nine years after ‘Inside Out,’ Pixar Animation Studios reunites audiences with Riley in the sequel ‘Inside Out 2,’ who is entering her teenage years. The original emotions—joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust—are back to guide Riley through the next chapter of her life—but not without a few new challenges and emotions.
‘Inside Out 2’ introduces Anxiety (Maya Hawk), Envy (Ayo Edebiri), Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser), and Ennui (Adèle Exarchopoulos), who are now sharing Headquarters with the original emotions. When Riley is selected to go to a summer hockey camp, Joy (Amy Poehler) and Anxiety butt heads on the best way to navigate her through new social situations.

Director Kelsey Mann is at the helm for the sequel and went to great lengths to retain the same look and aesthetic as the 2015 film. The sequel deeply explores the self-doubt and self-consciousness of a teenager, which will make for a ton of puns and laughs.
Returning alongside Amy Poehler are Phyllis Smith as Sadness and Lewis Black as Anger. Tony Hale and Liza Lapira join the cast as the voices for Fear and Disgust.
