Pixar movies are universally loved fortheir interpretation of the most complex ideas into animated, loveable concepts, presented in a story that touches everyone. One movie that especially strikes the right chord of emotions isInside Out, which has a sequel coming out soon. While most details about the film are kept tightly under wraps, a few details are slowly trickling down to give fans a taste of what’s in store for this emotional rollercoaster.
Entertainment Weeklyhas unveiled new images fromInside Out 2that showcase the visual representation of Riley’s Belief System. The image sees Joy and Sadness standing next to cords of light that fluctuate and resemble sound waves. Another image sees Sadness standing in a room full of these cords of light.
Inside Out 2 will Elaborate on the Belief System
ScreenwriterDave Holsteinexplains that the idea first came from unused art from the first film “It was a very basic version of what’s in there now — the strings that grow from memories.” The original movie took us inside Riley’s mind and introduced us to a range of emotions likeJoy, Anger, Sadness, Fear and Disgust. The upcoming sequel will take her deeper into her emotions.
“It felt like the first movie was about memories, and there was something quite emotional for me in finding a way to show beliefs as we get older," Holstein said. The sequel will be set in a teenager Riley’s mind, who is suddenly overcome by a series of new emotions likeAnxiety, Ennui, Envy, and Embarrassment, as she undergoes puberty. When Anxiety takes over her brain, the other emotions must figure out how to help Riley restabilize emotionally and her Belief System will come in handy for the same.
The screenwriter further elaborated, “Our beliefs certainly solidify as we get older. Maybe we hadn’t seen them before, not because they didn’t exist, but because now is a time when beliefs start to become of a different level of importance to you.” Nonetheless, herBelief System won’t be just about good or bad or right or wrongbut plenty of silly things as well, Holstein explains, , “They could be things like, ‘I believe dad’s beard will never go away.’ There’s things that you believe with the intensity of a thousand stars at that age that don’t necessarily have to be very serious.”
