Pixar has given us one of its best movies in recent years with Inside Out, and its follow-up is just around the corner. The beloved animated studio dropped the first teaser for Inside Out 2, which sees its young heroine Riley dealing with a brand-new emotion: anxiety.
The first Inside Out movie saw Riley trying to adjust to her family’s move to a new city while trying to deal with a scope of complex emotions: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger. They have all been personified in this movie, and we watch them clash with each other while trying to help Riley navigate a new city, house, and school.
According to director Kelsey Mann, the sequel will see the new feeling Anxiety stirring up some drama in the mind of newly minted teenager Riley.
“Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, might be new to the crew, but she’s not really the type to take a back seat. That makes a lot of sense if you think about it in terms of what goes on inside all our minds,” said Mann in a statement.
The voice cast will also include returning members Amy Poehler as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, and Lewis Black as Anger, with Tony Hale and Liza Lapira joining them as Fear and Disgust.
