When Does Inside Out 2 Coming Out

Remember that wild rollercoaster ride inside 11-year-old Riley’s head? We met Joy, the sunshine in human form, Sadness, who’s a bit of a Debbie Downer but essential for hugs, Anger, who’s always ready to blow a gasket, Fear, who’s constantly scanning for danger (sometimes unnecessarily!), and Disgust, who’s all about keeping things from being gross or embarrassing. They’ve been doing a pretty good job, right? Guiding Riley through her first year of middle school, navigating awkward friendships, and trying to keep her from accidentally joining a polka band (a close call, trust me).
Well, buckle up, buttercups, because things are about to get a whole lot more… complicated. Think of Riley’s brain like a bustling city. For a long time, it was a pretty well-established city with all the important landmarks. But now, our little Riley is turning thirteen. Yes, you heard that right. Teenagehood. And with that comes a whole new set of residents moving into town. The original crew, our beloved emotions, are about to have some rather… loud new roommates.
So, when can we expect to see this fresh wave of emotional chaos? Get ready to mark your calendars because Inside Out 2 is set to hit theaters on June 14, 2024. That’s right, summer is officially going to be filled with more giggles, more gasps, and probably a few more existential crises from within Riley’s mind. It feels like just yesterday we were stressing about hitting a home run and now we're talking about… well, you’ll see.
What kind of new emotions are joining the party? From what we’ve glimpsed, it looks like Riley’s developing some seriously complex feelings. We’ve got Anxiety, who’s basically Fear’s hyperactive cousin with a to-do list a mile long and a constant need to predict every possible worst-case scenario. Imagine Fear on caffeine. That’s Anxiety. She’s all about “what ifs” and “what’s next,” and honestly, who can blame her when you’re a teenager? There’s also Envy, who’s got that classic green-eyed monster vibe, constantly looking at what others have and wondering why she doesn’t have it too. You know the feeling, right? That little voice whispering, “Their hair looks better,” or “They’re way more popular.”

Then there’s Ennui. Now, Ennui is fascinating. She’s the epitome of teenage apathy, the eye-roller extraordinaire. Think of her as the calm before the storm, or maybe just the perpetual during the storm but not really caring. She’s got this incredibly chill, almost bored demeanor, and she’s all about the shrug. She’s the feeling you get when you’ve heard the same song on repeat for too long or when your parents try to talk to you about your feelings. She's going to be a hilarious addition, I can just feel it.
And let’s not forget the possibility of Embarrassment! Imagine the chaos when Riley's trying to impress someone and Embarrassment decides to take center stage. It’s going to be epic.
The original gang – Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust – are going to have their hands full. They’re used to Riley’s relatively straightforward emotions, but these new feelings are… intense. Joy is going to have a serious challenge trying to maintain her sunny disposition when Anxiety is constantly pointing out all the potential disasters. Sadness might find herself with a whole new level of company. And Anger? Well, Anger might finally have some competition in the drama department.

The trailers hint at some truly heartwarming moments as well. Even with all the new emotional turbulence, it looks like the core message of the first movie remains: all emotions, even the tough ones, are important. They’re all part of what makes us who we are. And in Inside Out 2, we’ll likely see how these new, more complex emotions shape Riley’s journey as she navigates the tricky waters of adolescence. It’s about growing up, about finding your place, and about realizing that sometimes, it’s okay to feel all the things at once, even if it feels like your brain is doing a circus act.
So, if you’re ready to dive back into the wonderfully messy world of Riley’s mind and meet her new emotional crew, make sure you’re ready for June 14, 2024. Get your popcorn ready, because this is going to be one heck of an emotional adventure. And who knows, maybe after watching, you’ll have a little more understanding for that teenager in your life, or even for yourself when you’re feeling a bit of everything at once. It’s all part of the amazing, confusing, and ultimately beautiful process of being human.
