Inside Out 2 is coming from Pixar in 2024

Pixar from the inside to the outside gets a sequel. The news was announced at D23, Disney’s biannual fan convention.

The 2015 film followed the emotions personified by a young girl named Riley. Joy (Amy Poehler), sadness (Phyllis Smith), fear (Bill Hader), disgust (Mindy Kaling) and anger (Lewis Black) inhabit Riley’s mind and are responsible for her feelings as they help her navigate the complexities of growing up and moving to a whole new city. Tension mounts as joy and sadness collide, accidentally losing some of Riley’s core memories, and they must embark on a quest deeper into her mind to regain them. The film was directed by Pete Docter, who now serves as Pixar’s chief creative officer. It has been praised for dealing with emotions and memories in a variety of ways.

This year, from the inside to the outside won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and was also nominated for Best Original Screenplay.

The sequel will begin when Riley is a teenager and likely dealing with all of the messy, complicated emotions that come with puberty. The film will also introduce some new emotions beyond the five we saw in the first film. This time it’s Kelsey Mann, Story Supervisor Monster University

Inside out 2 is scheduled for release in summer 2024.
