Plot: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust have been doing a good job managing the emotions of their beloved human, Riley. But, as she enters her teenage years, they have their hands full dealing with a whole new slate of emotions, including the obstructive, controlling Anxiety.
Review: Ever since the pandemic, Pixar’s been struggling to recapture the zeitgeist its animated films were once so easily able to dominate. For a long time, it was almost uncanny how each film was hailed as a masterpiece, only for the company to fall off when suddenly their films became more commonly viewed via streaming than in theatres. Some say the movies got to be too specific, although for me I’d take a highly personal story like Elemental over the more generic Lightyear any day. At any rate, the company is said to be undergoing a pivot towards more universal stories, although...

It might have taken almost a decade, but we finally have a follow up to the much-loved Pixar animation Inside Out (2015). The original film received huge acclaim on its release for its ability to portray the essence of childhood through Riley, a young girl who must learn to navigate changes in her young life after she is uprooted from her Midwest life and moved to the big city.
Directed by Kelsey Mann, in his feature directorial debut, Inside Out 2 sees the return of SNL favourite Amy Poehler as the voice of Joy, one of Riley’s most dominant emotions. Elsewhere, Lewis Black, Maya Hawke (Asteroid City), Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), Adèle Exarchopoulos (Blue Is The Warmest Colour) and Paul Walter Hauser all lend their voices to old and new emotions.

Pixar has recently been making sequels to some of its most acclaimed films, and their success with fans has been decidedly mixed. For every Toy Story 3, there’s a Cars 2. This year sees the release of Inside Out 2, a sequel to one of the studio’s most acclaimed movies in the past decade. Although the sequel is mostly inferior, it’s still plenty funny and heartwarming enough to be worth watching.
Inside Out 2 picks up with Riley as a 13-year-old when she begins puberty and encounters a new set of complex emotions during an important transition in her life from middle school to high school. For a film that is supposed to be about the complexity of emotions, it’s a bit underwhelming that the story and emotions are so simplistic, but there’s still plenty to praise here.

In “Inside Out 2,” Riley, the displaced tween from “Inside Out,” is now 13 years old, which means that she’s on the verge of a whole new set of emotions. In the Headquarters of her brain, a siren flashes (it’s the one we saw in the earlier film marked Puberty), which means it’s time for renovation workers to bust into the place, tear down the walls, and install a new console that can accommodate Riley’s budding adolescent feelings. The original quintet of Anger (Lewis Black), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Tony Hale), Disgust (Liza Lapira), and the beloved Joy (Amy Poehler) are still around, but they’re now “suppressed emotions,” shoved to the back of her mind..
“Inside Out,” I would argue, was the last great Pixar movie. I loved “Toy Story 4” (2019), and “Finding Dory” (2016) was irresistible in a way that evoked the magic of “Finding Nemo,...

“Hey, kids! Let’s go to the multiplex and check out that animated movie about a moderately talented teenage girl trying out for a place in a slightly older ice-hockey team,” said practically no American parent to the delight of their children ever. Yet this is the path that Pixar have chosen for the sequel to 2015’s Inside Out, a twee but nevertheless thoughtful film that sought to sort out the jumble of emotions inside an 11-year-old girl’s mind as she adapted to life in a strange new city. This time round, our heroine is settled in, facing another less seismic yet much more personal change when she is forced to choose between doing what might be best for her, long-term, and doing what is right.
Although it’s been nine years since the original, Riley, now voiced by Kensington Tallman, has only aged two. And when the film starts, her five key emotions — Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Anger (Lewis Black), Fear (Tony Hale) and Disgust (Liza Lapira) — are carrying on as usual, cheerleading Riley’s progress as a rising star on the ice-hockey rink. This time round, Joy, is the den mother, keeping all the others in check and prioritizing Riley’s “sense of self”, which, though it might sound abstract, is an actual, physical thing that she’s very protective of.
This idyll is interrupted when a red button, previously unnoticed on Joy’s control deck, makes itself violently known, waking all the emotions in the middle of the night. Riley has turned 13, and the puberty alarm is sounding, to the consternation of the emotions — especially Anger and Sadness — who find themselves amplified to previously unknown levels. This all coincides with Riley being invited to an ice-hockey summer camp, where she will be punching above her weight with older players and is about to find out that her two best friends will be leaving her anyways to go to a different school.
To Joy’s dismay, a demolition team moves in to tear down HQ, and in come the new team of emotions: Anxiety (Maya Hawke), Envy (Ayo Edibiri), Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser) and Ennui (Adèle Exarchopoulos). Anxiety — played very, very well by newcomer Hawke — makes her presence felt immediately, and her humble but pragmatic personality seems charming and even quite reasonable. But Anxiety’s needs grow, leading her to stage a coup that sends the other emotions, literally, to the back of Riley’s mind. As a result, Riley gives in to her own imagined peer pressure, ghosting her friends to curry favor with local sports star Val (Lilimar).
Which is where Inside Out 2 starts to come unstuck, since, of all the new emotions, only Ennui — “Eet’s what you would call boredom,” drawls Exarchopoulos — is really anything new to a developing child. And what happens next is a long slog in such a relatively short film, as, in lieu of anything else actually happening, Joy leads her team back to take control of Riley’s emotions. You could be forgiven for thinking that this journey home will be a picaresque riot, a colorful flexing of the collective Pixar imagination, but there’s not much fun in this 13-year-old’s mind. (Really? A parade of future careers? And being a Supreme Court judge is in that mix?)
Ultimately, the battle is over the control of Riley’s conscience, but seeing as there’s never been any serious dramatic conflict in this kind of family fare since High School Musical did away with it altogether, it’s pretty clear where a Disney production is going to go with that. So, really, you end up with a movie about a teenage girl playing junior-league ice hockey, while a lot of excitable animated characters — yellow, blue, green, whatever — chatter on and on about it.
But what you don’t get, sadly, is any sense of thought, which, by now, Riley should be capable of assembling. While it does suggest that Riley’s emotions combine in ways that guide her, Inside Out 2 stops short of assembling emotions into intelligence. Which might sound like a harsh takeaway for what’s essentially a kids’ movie, but the result is that Riley just doesn’t seem to have any agency of her own; she’s more like the malleable chef in Ratatouille than the kind-hearted flesh-and-blood teen her emotions have to keep telling us she is.
Battle-weary parents of surly teens will have some fun here and there, especially when Ennui’s blasé influence opens up a “sar-chasm” in Riley’s brain that makes everything sound, well, sarcastic. But, when all’s said and done, the stakes are so minor, it’s hard to imagine anyone will leave this desperate to see an Inside Out 3.

Pixar’s 2015 instant classic, Inside Out, was the best possible psychological starter kit for curious kids. The movie was groundbreaking in its inventive way of showing children the complex workings of their minds, framed as a hair-raising adventure, while also making the tour into the subconscious both hilarious and deeply affecting for adults. What are the odds that a sequel almost a decade later and by a mostly new creative team could recapture its canonical predecessor’s magic and humanity? But graduating from childhood into the emotional minefield of early adolescence might even have improved upon it.
Veteran Pixar storyboard artist Kelsey Mann hits a home run with his first feature, working from a screenplay by Meg LeFauve (the key holdover from Inside Out) and Dave Holstein that ingeniously personifies the tornado of conflicting feelings wreaking havoc inside the head of 13-year-old Riley (Kensington Tallman).

Oh, so you think being a kid is an emotional rollercoaster, huh? Try becoming a freshly minted teenager.
When Inside Out hit theaters in 2015, Pixar’s deep dive into an 11-year-old’s brain quickly ascended to top-tier status; the combination of old-school cartoonishness, a color scheme that left no hue untouched, a celebrity voice cast with comic chops, and a perfect combo of childlike imagination and mature insight into the moment you start leaving childhood behind established it as one of the company’s best works to date. A follow-up was inevitable,...

Change can often be as painful as it is inevitable. This is a fact of life and a fact that haunts Inside Out 2. The long anticipated sequel arrives nearly a decade after one of Pixar’s finest and most sophisticated films, making good on what previously was left as a looming menace and dark joke for the emotions of Riley—a sensitive girl who ended the 2015 film on the precipice of adolescence and all those fearsome feelings which come with it. “Riley’s 12, what could happen?” her emotions absently muse among themselves.
Yet the anxiety that so often accompanies change appears to be rattling around in the collective head (or boardrooms) of Pixar too. The studio which once looked invincible in the 2000s and 2010s has, in the nine years since Inside Out, seen its chief creative officer and co-founder resign in a cloud of #MeToo accusations and disgrace; a...

We’re back in Riley’s head as she heads into puberty, but can Pixar repeat the success of the first film? Find out in our Inside Out 2 review.
Inside Out might be the best Pixar film ever made. Heck, it might even be one of the best films ever made. Pete Docter’s 2015 animation managed to somehow make those pesky feelings and voices inside our heads accessible and easy to understand for both children and adults. The film’s central message – you need all your emotions, none of them are bad – felt almost groundbreaking because no one had said it out loud before. At least, not with this much charm and honesty.
When Inside Out 2 was announced, you could almost hear the collective groan let out by film fans around the world. We didn’t need – or want – another Inside Out film, because frankly, how could it...

Of all the Pixar films to follow up, Inside Out seems the most risky. While the ending of the first gave a clear signal of where the general plot could go, with a pre-teen Riley (now voiced by Kensington Tallman) on the edge of puberty, aka emotional Armageddon, you had to wonder what would be the point? The original so brilliantly, with the lightest of touches, dug into the foundations of the human brain that it seemed to leave any sequel with little to do but retread. Once you’ve flicked so far into Psychology 101 that you’re making gags about abstract thought, where else do you go?
Inside Out 2’s answer is not to try to outsmart its predecessor but to continue and mature its emotional journey. That’s immediately evident in its choice to begin on the already laid narrative path, rather than reroute for the sake of originality.

Although Disney and Pixar Animation have had a tough time in recent years due to a combination of the Covid pandemic and the advent of the Disney+ streamer, on Friday it will release “Inside Out 2,” the first theatrically released sequels to one of Pixar’s massive critical and commercial hits in five years.
The original “Inside Out,” directed by three-time Oscar winner and current Pixar chief creative officer Pete Docter, opened with $90.4 million nine years ago. At the time, it was Pixar’s second-best opening, and it’s still the animation house’s best debut for a non-sequel. This sequel, directed by Kelsey Mann,...

It’s been nearly a decade since the original film came out, so the animation required some updates before Inside Out 2 would be ready to go. For this, Pixar had a team of both new and returning craftspeople working tirelessly to rework the world and introduce a new set of emotions to tell a new story for the sequel.
Inside Out 2 returns to follow Riley Anderson (Kensington Tallman) and her emotional network during her teenage years. As she hits puberty, a crew of new emotions shows up, upsetting the balance Joy (Amy Poehler) has created in Riley’s mind. As the craftspeople were in charge of updating the world of Inside Out, they also had to deal with the introduction of new emotions, including Anxiety (Maya Hawke). Inside Out 2 releases in theaters on June 14, 2024.

Pete Docter, Chief Creative Officer at Pixar Animation Studios, is shooting down the idea of remaking classics into live-action features.
In a new interview, the filmmaker discussed how crucial the success of Inside Out 2 is to the future of the animation studio.
“If [Inside Out 2] doesn’t do well at the theater, I think it just means we’re going to have to think even more radically about how we run our business,” Docter said in an interview with Time.
Docter was asked about a viral fan campaign to make Ratatouille into a live-action film, something he doesn’t even want to consider.
“No, and this might bite me in the butt for saying it, but it sort of bothers me,” he told the publication. “I like making movies that are original and unique to themselves. To remake it, it’s not very interesting to me personally.”

After the overperformance of Sony’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die, summer’s big wheels keep on turnin’ as Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 is looking at what could be the biggest stateside opening of the year to date with $85M, and another $50M abroad for a $135M global launch.
Legendary/Warner Bros’ Dune: Part Two owns the biggest domestic opening of 2024 so far with $82.5M, while both studios’ Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire counts the year’s largest global launch for a Hollywood movie at $194M.
Inside Out 2 also will rep the biggest post-Covid opening for a Disney animated movie, with many of its films lacking the wattage of pre-pandemic times. Disney/Pixar’s Lightyear became its best post-Covid domestic opening at $50M — and that was considered to be a total misfire for the Toy Story franchise.

Nine years after exploring the emotions of 11-year-old Riley, Inside Out 2 made its debut in Los Angeles on Monday, rolling out a whole new range of feelings as Riley becomes a teenager.
Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust from the original film are still in the mix, but now are joined by Anxiety, Envy, Ennui and Embarrassment. While some changes have been made to the voice cast — Liza Lapira replaces Mindy Kaling as Disgust and Tony Hale replaces Bill Hader as Fear — Amy Poehler returns as Joy, still the star emotion for a 13-year-old Riley.
Of coming back to the Inside Out world almost a decade later, Poehler told The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet that, “It’s actually given me an incredible gift, to be in a film like this means a lot. It’s very hard to be in something that is really good, that means...

Inside Out 2 is quite fantastic.

It's been a difficult few years for Pixar. During the pandemic, former Disney CEO Bob Chapek decided to drop movies like Soul, Luca, and Turning Red on Disney+, creating the impression that its films were only fit for streaming before Lightyear underperformed at the box office.
Last year, Elemental was quickly written off as a "flop" before proving it had legs (ultimately grossing shy of $500 million), so the pressure is on this weekend's Inside Out 2 to deliver and prove there's still plenty of life left in the studio beyond Toy Story.
Following the sequel's premiere yesterday evening, the first social media reactions are in and they're overwhelmingly positive. As you'll see below, it sounds just as good - if not better - than its 2015 predecessor.
These come just days after Fandango revealed that Inside Out 2 has surpassed the first movie's advance ticket sales, becoming the highest ticket pre-seller...

Pixar’s Inside Out 2 is still a week away from hitting the screen. The critics have given their opinion of the sequel. Amy Poehler, Lewis Black, and others return after almost a decade to entertain the audience again.

The first film, directed by Pete Docter, was released in 2015, and Kelsey Mann directed the sequel. The voice cast includes Amy as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Tony Hale as Fear, and Maya Hawke as Anxiety. It premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in LA.

With Inside Out 2 hitting theaters soon, I figured that now would be as good a time as any to look back at the 2015 original nearly a decade later. When Inside Out first released, Pixar was in arguably the studio’s first slump period. After 15 years of universal acclaim and box office dominance from 1995’s Toy Story to 2010’s Toy Story 3, the studio put out the critically reviled Cars 2 and the middlingly received Brave and Monsters University all in a row.
All three films still made money and Brave even took home the Best Animated Feature Oscar that year, but it nevertheless felt like Pixar had lost some of that original spark. But then came Inside Out; a completely original story from Pixar veteran Pete Docter, who had previously helmed Monsters Inc. and Up that took the studio’s “What if x had feelings?” formula to its logical...

Chris Pratt’s work in Parks and Recreation or Parks and Rec made him land major franchises like the MCU and Jurassic World. To make it funnier, the Marvel actor improvised his scenes throughout the show. Pratt’s improvisation also led him to deliver the best joke in the show in its third season.
The co-creator of the show, Michael Scur, described that as a writer, he was extremely angry to see the Marvel actor going off-script to present the memorable scene from the show.

Pixar has been one of the premiere names in animation ever since the first "Toy Story" released in 1995, changing the game forever. Disney's beloved animation company was also one of the true Hollywood box office titans, with pretty much everything Pixar touched turning to gold, though "The Good Dinosaur" serves as a rare exception to the rule. Unfortunately, the pandemic changed all of that, and Pixar has had a rough time recovering, with "Lightyear" bombing badly after several of the studio's originals went straight to Disney+. "Inside Out 2" aims to change the narrative next weekend and bring the studio back to its dominant place at the top of the box office charts.
Director Kelsey Mann's sequel is currently eyeing an opening weekend in the $75 to $94 million range, per Box Office Theory. Even on the low end, that would be an exceptional start for the film. Nine years ago,...

With the unofficial beginning of summer — Memorial Day — come and gone, the season has entered full swing. Several of the summer weekends will be crowded at the box office with sometimes three releases competing on similar dates. With action films like Bad Boys: Ride Or Die, A Quiet Place: Day One and Twisters taking us through July, some animated adventures like Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4 will provide fun for whole families.
Deadpool 3 will cap off July with a new Marvel installment from Shawn Levy, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds, making way for more sinister films ahead of fall like M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap and Alien: Romulus. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice deserves an honorable mention although it won’t hit theaters until September to lead into spooky season and October.

It’s not always easy to find out which movies hit theaters each week, especially after the Hollywood strikes led to so many release date changes. With the WGA and actors strikes resolved and summer blockbusters starting to roll in, June is filled with both big budget flicks and new indie releases.
Premiering June 14 is Disney’s “Inside Out 2,” which follows a now 16-year-old Riley as she goes away to hockey camp and grapples with a new set of complicated emotions starring Amy Poehler, Maya Hawke, Tony Hale, Liza Lapira, and Paul Walter Hauser. Also hitting theaters is “Ultraman: Rising,” an animated action-adventure about superstar baseball player Ken Sato who must return to Japan to fulfill his legacy of becoming Ultraman starring Christopher Sean, Rob Fukuzaki, Hiro Nakamura and Gedde Watanabe.

Kenan Thompson and Bowen Yang have had very different “Saturday Night Live” trajectories. And yet, they both have made history. Thompson, who joined the show in 2003, is the longest-tenured cast member in the show’s history. When Yang joined, first as a writer in 2018 then moving to the cast the following year, he became the first Chinese American “SNL” player.
Despite joining the show 15 years apart, they adapted in a similar way: by listening.
Thirty years ago, Thompson was on the premiere of “All That,” the kids’ version of “SNL” that aired on Nickelodeon in the 1990s. “To have Kenan be at the show now is only a sign that he has the foresight, fortitude and forbearance to just be a pure master at this,” says Yang. He turned to his co-star: “I don’t take it for granted that I sit next to you at read-through. I absorb so much just being in proximity.

Maya Hawke's Anxiety commands much of the screentime here, though, and Joy actress Amy Poehler recently dropped some hints about that character in an interview with Refinery29 Australia.
"Anxiety shows up for a reason," she told the site. "I think we tend to want to push anxiety away - 'Don't worry about it, it's fine!' We want to kind of get it out of our life. But what I think is really cool is they [the filmmakers] let anxiety show up to protect Riley."

The titular all-female pop group hit the skids back in the early aughts, but when a hip hop star samples their old hit song 20 years later, the women grab their second chance, leading to some questionable outfit choices and calamitous video shoots.
