The talent and filmmakers arrived at TikTok London office for a joyous evening celebrating the emotional return to Riley’s mind with emotions old and new, with an inside peak at the new film and a live TikTok LIVE Q&A hosted by Sam Thompson.
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, Envy, Ennui and Embarrassment show up.
Maya Hawke lends her voice to new emotion Anxiety, alongside Amy Poehler as the voice of Joy. Kensington Tallman, Liza Lapira, Tony Hale, Lewis Black, Phyllis Smith, Ayo Edebiri, Lilimar, Grace Lu, Sumayyah Nuriddin-Green, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Diane Lane, Kyle MacLachlan, Paul Walter Hauser and Yvette Nicole Brown. Directed by Kelsey produced by Mark Nielsen and executive produced by Pete Docter, Jonas Rivera and Dan Scanlon, Inside Out 2 releases only in cinemas June 14, 2024.
Amy Poehler said:
“The brutal reality of being a teen is, you’re paying a lot more attention to how people see you. And because of all of that, a bunch of new Emotions arrive to cause chaos. [In ‘Inside Out 2], they ask us to go on a journey inside our own minds, our own hearts. What do we believe in? What do we care about? All these big existential questions wrapped up in this highly energetic, deeply funny film.”
