D23 Cheat Sheet to the New Emotions in Disney Pixar ‘Inside Out 2’. Our friends over at D23 have given us a quick look at the new emotions we will meet when Inside Out 2 hits theaters on June 14th, 2024. If you are a D23 Gold Member and were able to get tickets for the June 11th, 2024 premier at Disney Springs, we will see you there.
Inside Out 2, Pixar’s highly anticipated sequel to 2015’s Oscar®-winning “Inside Out,” arrives exclusively in theaters on Friday, June 14. This time, things are more emotionally charged than ever. A whole host of new Emotions have arisen in the mind of now-teenager Riley. Joining Riley’s OG Emotions at Headquarters are Anxiety (voiced by Maya Hawke), Envy (voiced by Ayo Edebiri), Ennui (voiced by Adèle Exarchopoulos), and Embarrassment (voiced by Paul Walter Hauser)—aka the perfect recipe for teenage drama.
These new Emotions are set to stir things up, challenge our perceptions, and create new dynamics with Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler), Disgust (voiced by Liza Lapira), Fear (voiced by Tony Hale), Anger (voiced by Lewis Black), and Sadness (voiced by Phyllis Smith)—the original Emotions. Buckle up, because Riley’s emotional roller coaster just got a whole lot bumpier!

Anxiety
This jittery guardian ensures Riley (voiced by Kensington Tallman) is ready for every imaginable disaster. Armed with color-coded charts and doomsday plans, Anxiety is practically Velcroed to Riley’s back, navigating social minefields—because heaven forbid a teenager feels left out. In essence, Anxiety is the friend you never asked for but can’t shake off. But Anxiety’s not the villain—like all the Emotions, she wants what’s best for Riley.
Envy
Sadly, no one escapes her green-eyed glare. With a size that belies her strength, Envy is constantly coveting what others possess and is fixated on the latest and greatest, longing for whatever Riley happens to lack. She plays a critical role in creating Riley’s wants and goals. As for the antidote? We’re stumped. Maybe a sprinkle of glitter and a dash of self-esteem?
Ennui
Ah, and here comes Ennui, here to establish that, for teenagers, most events are as thrilling as watching paint dry. School? Yawn. Family dinner? Double yawn. But hey, she must serve some purpose, right? When the drama gets to be too much, Ennui is there to take it down a notch or nine.
Embarrassment
Last, but certainly not least, meet Embarrassment: the self-conscious sentinel of awkwardness, on a mission to shield you from both your finest and your cringiest moments. Shy and decidedly quiet, Embarrassment is ready to flop onto the Headquarters’ console at the mere whiff of a social faux pas.
