Inside Out 2 is the anticipated sequel to Pixar's heartwarming 2015 Oscar-winning movie, where we'll once again follow Riley and all the emotions that live inside her mind as they react to the world around her.

The first movie is widely regarded as a tearjerker where young Riley and her emotions Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust, and Sadness help her to navigate a move to a new city, house and school, with mixed results. In the sequel, Riley is now a teenager and has brand new emotions to deal with, with the synopsis teasing "she might not be alone" so there's plenty more drama going on inside her mind.
