Inside Out 2 officially announced at D23

Pixar will hope to replicate the magic of Inside Out with the sequel, as the original went on to gross $858 million in box office sales. Fans too are hoping that Disney and Pixar can recreate the whirlwind of emotions that made the film such a success. What we know so far Amy Poehler will be returning to the sequel as Joy.

Details about the plot for Inside Out 2 have been very limited so far. Amy Poehler, who played Joy in the original, revealed only a few details about the upcoming sequel during the panel presentation of the film. She describes the film's script as "amazing".

We know that sequel will pick up from the original story as Riley becomes a teenager. She will deal with all the complicated emotions that come with adolescence and introduce new emotions to the existing five from the first film.

Amy Poehler reprises her role as Joy in the upcoming movie while Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling are not returning as Fear and Disgust, according to rumors. We do not have confirmation that Phyllis Smith and Lewis Black will return to voice the popular characters Sadness and Anger in the sequel, either.

Meg LeFauve, who was nominated for an Academy Award with her work on Inside Out, will return as the screenwriter for Inside Out 2. Pete Docter will not be returning to the film as director and will instead be replaced by Kelsey Mann. Mann worked on several Pixar films such as Monsters University, Onward, and The Good Dinosaur as screenwriter and story director. This will be Mann's directorial debut in a feature film.

Docter now serves as the Chief Creative Officer at Pixar. Inside Out 2 will be coming in the summer of 2024.
