Lately, the news over at Pixar has been more about cost-cutting and focusing on established brands. Not necessarily the stuff you’d hope to see from one of the most creative studios on the planet. Yet, here we are. But if we’re going to get a glut of sequels from Pixar, a new “Inside Out” film doesn’t seem like such a horrible idea.

As seen in the trailer for “Inside Out 2,” the teen years are now upon young Riley, as we begin to see new emotions join the crew that we’re already familiar with. And you better believe one of those emotions is none other than anxiety. Man, aren’t the teen years the best?

Here’s the synopsis:
Disney and Pixar’s “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. Maya Hawke lends her voice to Anxiety, alongside Amy Poehler as the voice of Joy. The voice cast also includes Lewis Black, Phyllis Smith, Tony Hale and Liza Lapira. Directed by Kelsey Mann and produced by Mark Nielsen, “Inside Out 2” releases only in theaters June 14, 2024.
