Disney and Pixar have delighted fans with the release of an exciting new trailer and poster for “Inside Out 2,” offering a glimpse into the highly anticipated sequel set to hit theaters on Friday, June 14, 2024. Directed by Kelsey Mann and produced by Mark Nielsen, the film promises to take audiences on another emotional rollercoaster journey into the mind of now-teenager Riley.
Building upon the beloved characters from the original film, “Inside Out 2” introduces a fresh ensemble of Emotions perfectly tailored for Riley’s adolescent years. Alongside returning favorites Joy, Anger, Sadness, Fear, and Disgust, a host of new Emotions add depth and complexity to Riley’s evolving psyche.
Leading the charge is Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, whose jittery energy ensures Riley is always prepared for the worst-case scenario. Joining Anxiety are Envy, voiced by Ayo Edebiri, perpetually coveting what others have, and Ennui, voiced by Adèle Exarchopoulos, embodying teenage apathy with a well-practiced eye-roll.
Adding to the mix is Embarrassment, voiced by Paul Walter Hauser, whose blush-pink complexion belies his desire to keep a low profile. As Riley navigates the challenges of high school, she finds support from her friends, including Valentina “Val” Ortiz, voiced by Lilimar, and a cast of familiar faces, including Riley’s parents, voiced by Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan.
The voice cast for “Inside Out 2” boasts an impressive lineup of talent, including Sarayu Blue, Flea, Ron Funches, Dave Goelz, James Austin Johnson, Bobby Moynihan, Frank Oz, Paula Pell, Paula Poundstone, John Ratzenberger, Kendall Coyne Schofield, June Squibb, Kirk Thatcher, and Yong Yea.
With a score by Andrea Datzman, “Inside Out 2” promises to deliver the same heartwarming storytelling and imaginative world-building that made its predecessor a beloved classic. As Riley embarks on a new chapter of her life, audiences of all ages can expect to be swept away by the emotional depth and timeless themes that define the Disney and Pixar magic.
As the release date approaches, fans eagerly anticipate reuniting with their favorite Emotions and experiencing another unforgettable adventure inside Riley’s mind. With laughter, tears, and plenty of heart, “Inside Out 2” is poised to capture the hearts of audiences around the world once again.
