Lots of announcements are coming your way from the Disney and Pixar Studio Showcase at the 2022 D23 Expo, and we’ve got some exciting news for fans of one of Pixar’s most popular releases!
Back in 2015, Disney and Pixar introduced us to one of the most memorable films of the decade as audiences were invited to enter the mind of Riley to better understand how human emotions work in only a way that the talented film studios could explain.

While Amy Poehler will be back to reprise her role as one of the lead “feelings,” Joy, further details of the cast for the animated film’s sequel have not yet been revealed. Alongside Amy Poehler, the original Inside Out (2015) starred Bill Hader as Fear, Mindy Kaling as Envy, Lewis Black as Anger, and Phyllis Smith as Sadness, who were all encompassed in the mind of 11-year-old Riley, played by voice actress Kaitlyn Dias.
