Inside Out 2’s Amy Poehler & Maya Hawke Talk Joy, Anxiety & Spinoff Potential

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Nine years after the release of the Pixar hit, Inside Out 2 is set to bring audiences back into the mind of Riley. The sequel sees the emotions of the first movie challenged by a growing roster of personalities as Riley hits her teenage years, with powerful new emotions coming into play.

Alongside Poehler and Hawke, the ensemble Inside Out 2 cast sees the returns of Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Diane Lane as Riley's mom, and Kyle MacLachlan as her father. They're all joined by franchise newcomers Tony Hale, Liza Lapira, Ayo Edebiri, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Paul Walter Hauser, June Squibb and Kensington Tallman. Hale, Lapira and Tallman all find themselves taking over the roles of Fear, Disgust and Riley from the first movie.

Amy Poehler: Yeah, I did. I felt like we've all experienced a complicated 10 years, and I loved that Joy felt a little lost. Also, she's such a parental figure in this, and the film is really about that tender and difficult moment when you have to kind of separate from your parents as a young person, your friends become important, and you start building your own self. I really related to that on both sides. I remember doing it, and I'm a parent wanting the best for my kids.

But also, because I think anytime we demonize an emotion, we bottle it up, and then it comes back 10 times stronger and more powerful. When you bottle up an emotion, it expands in the bottle until it breaks the glass. I am a metaphor-aholic, but that's why I like Pixar so much. Hawke Wants To See An "Only-For-Disney-Adults" Disney+ Spinoff To jump off what you said at the start, if we are lucky enough to get Inside Out 3, is there an age or a life event both of you would like to guide Riley through?
