Inside Out 2 Adds ‘A Bunch More Emotion,’ Story Praised by Pixar Boss

June 19, 2023

Inside Out 2 will be adding more emotions than what we saw in the previous film.

The sequel to the 2015 Pixar animated movie Inside Out is set to release in a year. The original movie featured the five emotions in Riley Anderson’s head: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear. Pete Docter, who directed the first film and other Pixar classics like Up, Monsters, Inc., and Soul, recently commented on what we can expect to see in the upcoming film.

“As for Inside Out, a bunch more emotions get to come in,” Docter tells Variety. “It’s not just the five we saw in the first film. The team on that one put together a really great story that I think also has real depth and meaning to it. So fingers crossed that people like it.”

Inside Out 2 is currently set to release on June 14, 2024.
