Just in case you need a refresher as to what happened in the first 2015 Oscar-winning movie, keep reading below!
Movie-goers were introduced to “Riley, a young girl confronting emotions including Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Tony Hale), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Liza Lapira), and Sadness (Phyllis Smith) as she’s uprooted to San Francisco from the Midwest. Each emotion was memorably personified for the viewer, who could watch them clash inside Riley’s mind about how best to navigate a new city, house, and school.”
Inside Out 2 is slated for release this summer, on June 14, 2024.
