Disney and Pixar Unveil a Fresh Emotion in the Trailer for ‘Inside Out 2’. “Inside Out,” a Pixar masterpiece that was released back in 2015, invites audiences into the enchanting world of emotions, offering a unique perspective on the complex journey of growing up. Set within the mind of an 11-year-old girl named Riley
Disney and Pixar today debuted the trailer and poster for what promises to be the feel-good (or feel-everything) film of Summer 2024: Inside Out 2.
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.”
