In a whirlwind of excitement and anticipation, the trailer for “Inside Out 2” has catapulted itself into the record books, becoming the most-watched animated trailer debut in Disney’s storied history. In a mere 24 hours, this mesmerizing glimpse into the world of Riley and her emotions garnered a staggering 157 million views across all digital platforms. With this astonishing feat, “Inside Out 2” has officially dethroned 2019’s “Frozen 2” as the reigning champ of animated trailer debuts. A significant chunk of these views poured in from TikTok, where the trailer was viewed an impressive 78 million times.
Now, what exactly has caused this monumental buzz around “Inside Out 2”? Well, if you’ve had the pleasure of watching its predecessor, the 2015 gem that followed young Riley and her personified emotions, you’ll know precisely why. The first film tugged at our heartstrings while teaching invaluable lessons about managing our feelings. The result? A global box office haul of a staggering $858.8 million USD and a well-deserved Best Animated Feature Oscar. It’s safe to say that this heartwarming journey struck a chord with audiences worldwide.
But that’s not all that’s generating excitement. “Inside Out 2” promises to continue Riley’s story, now as a teenager navigating the tumultuous waters of adolescence. Alongside our familiar emotional cohorts—Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust—there’s a new kid on the block, or rather, a new emotion. Anxiety, voiced by the talented Maya Hawke, makes her debut, adding an intriguing layer to the emotional mix.
Pete Docter, the mastermind behind the original “Inside Out” and now Pixar’s Chief Creative Officer, expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support the sequel has received. He noted, “When the first film came out, we knew that by telling a story where we could see our emotions – those little voices inside your head – there would be so much more to explore than we could possibly fit into one film.” It’s clear that the team is eager to delve deeper into this emotional landscape.
In this highly anticipated sequel, we’ll reunite with familiar voices as Amy Poehler returns as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, and Lewis Black as Anger. However, due to scheduling conflicts, Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling won’t be reprising their roles as Fear and Disgust. Instead, Liza Lapira and Tony Hale will take the reins. Keep an eye out for more new emotions to be unveiled as the film’s release date approaches.
While Pete Docter steps back from the director’s chair this time, the talented Kelsey Mann, known for “The Good Dinosaur,” takes the helm. Meg LeFauve, the sole writer for this sequel, joins the creative team, ensuring that “Inside Out 2” will honor the legacy of its predecessor while forging new emotional territory. Docter has expressed his confidence in the team, stating that they’ve done an exceptional job expanding the world and introducing new emotions.
