Disney and Pixar have released a new trailer and poster for its next film, “Inside Out 2,” and it introduces us to more of Riley’s new emotions.
The Details
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!
Joining Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler), Anger (voiced by Lewis Black), Sadness (voiced by Phyllis Smith), Fear (voiced by Tony Hale), and Disgust (voiced by Liza Lapira) is a group of Emotions perfectly suited for the teenage years:
We met Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, in an earlier trailer. A bundle of frazzled energy, Anxiety enthusiastically ensures Riley’s prepared for every possible negative outcome.
But she’s not the only new kid on the block.
Envy, voiced by Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”), may be small, but she’s perpetually jealous of everything everyone else has, and she’s not afraid to pine over it.
Ennui, who’s voiced by French actress Adèle Exarchopoulos, couldn’t care less. Bored and lethargic with a well-practiced eye-roll, Ennui adds the perfect amount of teenage apathy to Riley’s personality when she feels like it.
Embarrassment, voiced by Paul Walter Hauser (“Blackbird”), likes to lay low, which isn’t easy for this burly guy with a bright blush-pink complexion.
Rounding out the voice cast, Kensington Tallman voices Riley Andersen, who’s about to begin high school, and Lilimar voices Valentina “Val” Ortiz, a high school hockey player who everyone, including Riley and her friends, looks up to.
Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan reprise their roles as Riley’s mom and dad; Sumayyah Nuriddin-Green and Grace Lu voice Riley’s besties; and Yvette Nicole Brown voices Coach Roberts, who leads a summer hockey camp.
The “Inside Out 2” voice cast also includes 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.
Directed by Kelsey Mann and produced by Mark Nielsen, with a score by Andrea Datzman, Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2,” will release exclusively in theaters on Friday, June 14, 2024.
