Social media is flooded with praise, with fans calling it “a perfect sequel” and even “the best Pixar film in a decade!”
The new footage highlights the film’s signature blend of humor and heart.

What’s Inside Out 2 About?
Prepare to revisit Riley’s mind as she enters her teenage years! This new chapter will showcase a whole new cast of emotions influencing her thoughts and actions.
Pixar‘s official synopsis teases the arrival of Anxiety: “The little voices inside Riley’s head know her inside and out – but next summer, everything changes when Disney and Pixar’s ‘Inside Out 2’ introduces a new Emotion: Anxiety.”
Director Kelsey Mann hints that Anxiety will be a force to be reckoned with: “Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, might be new to the crew, but she’s not the type to take a back seat,” said Mann. “That makes a lot of sense if you think about what goes on inside all our minds.” You can Watch the trailer below:
