Pixar digs into the nitty gritty emotions of puberty in Inside Out 2, which introduces a whole new slate of emotions to Riley’s (voiced by Kensington Tallman) mind.
The film still reunites us with the emotions from the first film: Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler), Sadness (voiced by Phyllis Smith), Anger (voiced by Lewis Black), Fear (voiced by Tony Hale), and Disgust (voiced by Liza Lapira) are excited to continue helping Riley grow up. But wait, what’s that on the horizon? Body changes, teenage hormones, existential crises about the tiniest social interactions… Oh no — it’s puberty!
As Riley enters this new life stage, she’s going to experience far more emotions. Enter Anxiety (voiced by Maya Hawke), Envy (voiced by Ayo Edebiri), Ennui (voiced by Adèle Exarchopoulos), and Embarrassment (voiced by Paul Walter Hauser). These four newcomers clash with Riley’s original emotions, even stuffing them in a jar. (“We’re repressed emotions!” Fear screams in the film’s new trailer.) Will our core five be able to escape? And will they ever be able to join forces with Riley’s new, more complicated feelings?
