When it comes to “Inside Out 2,” the follow-up to Docter’s own “Inside Out” (this time directed by “Onward” head of story Kelsey Mann), the reason that they wanted to do it was to explore new emotions. When researching the first film, Docter said, they were told that there were between “five to 27 emotions” and that with the sequel they’re trying to “be a little bit more truthful and broadening [the scope].” Mann brought Docter the idea for a follow-up, which Docter didn’t reveal.

“It was really poignant and very heartfelt, very personal to him, but also universal in that same way we were talking about before, having to do with… well, again, I don’t want to pitch his movie, but it’s got a real great heart to it, a really great core that is central to some of these new emotions showing up. It’s all connected,” Docter said.

*Envy
*Ennui
*Embarassment
*Anxiety

The little voices inside Riley’s head know her inside and out—but next summer, everything changes when Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2 introduces a new Emotion: Anxiety. According to director Kelsey Mann, the new character promises to stir things up within headquarters. “Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, might be new to the crew, but she’s not really the type to take a back seat,” says Mann. “That makes a lot of sense if you think about it in terms of what goes on inside all our minds.”

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.

Hawke lends her voice to Anxiety, alongside Amy Poehler as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Tony Hale as Fear, and Liza Lapira as Disgust. Directed by Mann and produced by Mark Nielsen, Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2 releases only in theaters Summer 2024.

WHO'S THERE? – In Disney and Pixar's "Inside Out 2," Joy (voice of Amy Poehler), Sadness (voice of Phyllis Smith), Anger (voice of Lewis Black), Fear (voice of Tony Hale) and Disgust (voice of Liza Lapira) aren't sure how to feel when Anxiety (voice of Maya Hawke) shows up unexpectedly.


MEET ANXIETY — Disney and Pixar's "Inside Out 2" returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley just as a new Emotion shows up unexpectedly. And Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, isn't the type of Emotion who will take a back seat either.

The first film made it pretty clear that everyone was ruled by five emotions. Everyone. Even adults who have already gone through puberty. This we know because we also peeked into the heads of other characters like the mother and father and saw that they hadn't acquired any new emotions that Riley didn't have. Pixar trying to throw us for a loop by claiming this is organic worldbuilding reminds me of how they rationalized around Mike's "You've been jealous of my looks since the fourth grade, pal" for Monsters U, except this is way worse.

The new emotions also land too closely to the existing ones to feel meaningfully different. Anxiety just feels like an offshoot of fear. Even ennui is like a few shades lighter off disgust or anger. (Also can't help but feel like they're reaching by recruiting something like "ennui" next to basic emotions like joy and sadness.)

I'll show all my cards and acknowledge that I still haven't really forgiven Pixar for their decade of sequels, and that is absolutely tainting my perspective at least to some degree, but I still have specific concerns about this film, so I think I'll just bide my time until Elio.
