In 2015, 11-year-old Riley travelled to a new city with her team of Emotions to navigate a new city. Nearly ten years later with Inside Out 2, Riley is a 13-year-old teenager taking on a bunch of new Emotions.
For many years it was just the five Emotions – Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust taking the reins. Just when Joy learnt to release control to her fellow Emotions, they are confronted with four new Emotions – Anxiety, Envy, Ennui and Embarrassment.
Anyone who has been around teenagers going through puberty understand it is no easy feat, and we have no doubt Disney Pixar’s Inside Out 2 will go through all the motions.
With a bunch of new faces and new storylines, comes more questions. We’ve answered all your burning questions about Inside Out 2, including where you can watch the first Inside Out in Australia.
What is the plot for Inside Out 2?
In the movie’s timeline, only two years has passed. Now Riley is a stereotypical 13-year-old – braces, high school, making friends and tackling new Emotions.
The newcomers are Anxiety, Envy, Ennui and Embarrassment – the foundations of any pubescent teen.
It is quickly discovered that Anxiety and Joy have different methods to navigating this time of Riley’s life. These differing opinions gets physical when the original Emotions are quite literally bottled in a jar – or “suppressed emotions” according to Fear.
“Operation new Riley” begins as the original five must make their way back to headquarters.
