Nerd News!
Legendary animation production company Pixar has been in a rough spot for the past few years. Just looking at their last three films since the pandemic has been…challenging.
Turning Red, Lightyear, and Elemental have all been successful at the box office, but many will agree that the magic of Pixar’s classic films is starting to pass.
This has pushed Pixar toward focusing on its existing IPs to try and recapture that energy which has led them to release the teaser trailer for Inside Out 2.
The teaser is only a minute and 30 seconds long and still uses clips and audio from the previous film, but we do get a sneak peek at one of the new emotions entering Riely’s head, Anxiety.
It seems like the second movie will be focusing on Riely as she continues to grow up and juggle more emotions. We also learned that Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling who voiced fear and disgust in the first movie, will not be reprising their roles due to salary disputes.
Instead, disgust will be voiced by Liza Lapira who plays Special Agent Michelle Lee in NCIS and Fear will be voiced by Tony Hale who voiced Forky in Toy Story 4. Will this sequel put Pixar back on the animation throne? Will have to see when Inside Out 2 releases on July 14, 2024.
