“Inside Out 2,” the sequel to the 2015 hit animation on a charming, intelligent journey through the emotions of adolescence, adds four new feelings to mix: anxiety, envy, ennui and embarrassment.
Kelsey Mann, director of the film, and Mark Nielsen, a producer on “Inside Out 2,” joined a press conference following footage to introduce the new characters and messages of the upcoming movie. The event was held on the sidelines of the 25th Jeonju International Film Festival in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, Thursday.
“When we wanted to add new emotions, we had this whole list of all kinds of emotions, and I was really drawn to ‘anxiety,’ something I could relate to. It was also from the study that (anxiety level) was on the rise among teenagers. I also felt like anxiety took me over when I was a teenager,” Mann told reporters in a video call.
“Inside Out 2” centers on a teenaged Riley’s newly minted emotions and her “mind headquarters” undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for new emotions that emerge during puberty.
While this imaginative, endearing animated film is targeted at young children, the movie was a huge hit with adults too when it opened in Korea in 2015. Especially in a country where many people still shun freely expressing emotions or feelings, the movie was akin to therapy. In the sequel, the audience will be able to explore situations that apply not only to a teenage girl, but that are also relatable to adults, according to the director.

“Rarely go the movies but saw this film. It was refreshing. Getting praise from faith-based and secular critics alike. Glad it’s doing well overseas also.”
I knew nothing about the first film when I took my granddaughter to see the sequel last weekend. I was pleasantly surprised.
I saw the first film and thought it must have been made by a bunch of nutjobs ...
There is a wonderful scene in Nutcracker in which the shelkunchik pulls out his 44 and shoots Mickey (the mouse HMFIC) between the eyes. If I were Peter Tchaikovsky, it wouldn’t just be Mickey; Walt, Donald Duck, Spin, Marty, and Annette Fornichello would also be there and the shelkunchik would fan the pistol like Clint Eastwood does and blow all of them away...
I loved the part where the guys show up for remodeling.
A girls high school hockey team filled with Blacks, Latinos, Asians and Muslims. The lead character is the ONLY White person.
How many female hockey teams (anywhere in the world) have a roster like that?
