Inside Out 2has already become the highest-grossing animated movie of all time, but thePixarsequel is now takingVuduby storm. The movie quickly took the top spot when it comes to the streaming service’s viewership chart. After audiences ran to theaters over the course of the summer to find out what would happen to Riley (Kensington Tallman) and her emotions, interest in this story picked up again after it became available on digital ahead of itsDisney+launch.
A couple of years after the events of the first movie,Inside Out 2finds Riley going away for a weekend to improve her hockey skills. That sounds like a perfectly fun getaway. Except for the fact that Anxiety (Maya Hawke), Envy (Ayo Edebiri) and other new emotions were introduced to Riley’s mind at the same time. The young girl didn’t know how to react at first, leading to heated fights against her friends and an unhealthy desire to succeed at her hockey practices. Thankfully, her old emotions were ready to save the day in one of the most heartfelt stories Pixar has produced in recent years.
The making ofInside Out 2would’ve never been possible without the return of Riley’s original emotions. Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith) and Anger (Lewis Black) were back to deal with the new emotions that were attempting to change everything they knew about Riley’s behavior. And while Fear (Tony Hale) and Disgust (Liza Lapira) were also present in the second story, the voice actors who brought them to life in the first movie couldn’t reprise their roles inInside Out 2.
