Nearly 10 years after Pixar’s Inside Out highlighted emotions in a very real and raw way, the animation company and Disney Studios have returned to the rollercoaster with Inside Out 2. Riley (voiced by Kensington Tallman) is now 13 years old, a true teenager on the brink of puberty, and thus her five reliable feelings — Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Tony Hale), Disgust (Liza Lapira), Anger (Lewis Black) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith) — have some newcomers with whom to share their new and improved console.
Eager to man the emotional control board are Maya Hawke’s anxiety and Ayo Edebiri’s Envy while their more removed peers Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser) and Ennui (Adèle Exarchopoulos) help from the sidelines. Several voices from the first Inside Out film will sound familiar, such as those of Joy, Sadness, Anger and Riley’s parents, but new actors took the reins for the roles of Riley, Disgust and Fear.
Read on to see who voices which emotion in Inside Out 2, a whole new journey for Riley as a hockey player and person.
