Join Us for a Behind-The-Scenes Look at the Making of Disney-Pixar’s โ€˜Inside Out 2โ€™! [Video]

Back in March, we were invited to Pixar Animation Studios, where the team was hard at work on the final touches of Inside Out 2. Visiting the studio on my very first press trip, I was assigned to the “Anxiety” group (how fitting!), joining other journalists for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the making of the highly anticipated sequel.

Pixar’s Kelsey Mann and Mark Nielsen Talk ‘Inside Out 2,’ New Emotions, and Crushing Joy’s Confidence (VIDEO)

Ifย Inside Outย sent you on an emotional rollercoaster,ย then the sequel is guaranteed toย throw you for a loop.

Leading up to the filmโ€™s summer release, we visited Pixar Animation Studios to discuss Inside Out 2ย with director Kelsey Mann and producer Mark Nielsen, who also worked onย Inside Out.

The day before, weย were treatedย to an early sneak peek of the first thirty minutes of the sequel. As a longtime Pixar enthusiast, I was thrilledโ€”though perhaps not as excited as Mann was to push theย big red button.

Kelsey Mann, who sawย Inside Outย as an audience member in 2015 while working on Pixarโ€™sย The Good Dinosaur, described his reaction to the first filmโ€™s ending as he pointed to Mark Nielsen. โ€œYou guys set up [the puberty button] on the consoleย andย I’mย like,ย โ€˜I want that thing to go off. If youย don’tย set off,ย I’mย gonnaย be upset!โ€

He finally gets the chance to do just that as the director of Inside Out 2.ย He went on to explain that he also set out to cause more chaos than just a blaring puberty alarm.

โ€œ[The first movie] ends in a great way whereย sheโ€™sย like,ย โ€˜weโ€™veย got new friends, a great new house, after all,ย sheโ€™sย 12, what could happen?โ€™โ€ย he says,ย โ€œShe has such confidence in herselfย andย I wanted toย crush that.โ€

Mann also detailed how they explored challenging Joyโ€™s traditional ideas of who Riley is in this new phase of her life. โ€œThat’s where the new emotions come in,โ€ he said, โ€œbecause they’re like, โ€˜we understand this teenage world and we know how to play this game better than you do. So you know what? We need you to step aside because we need to take over.โ€

Once again, filmgoers will see some push and pull at the controls in this new storyโ€”justย in a different way.ย โ€œJoy, in the beginning of [Inside Out] learned that lesson that all emotions are valuable, she learned to let Sadness go to the console.โ€ Mark Nielsen says, โ€œAnd now in this film, sheโ€™s like, โ€˜maybe not ALL of them.โ€™โ€

The new movie features new additions to the cast, including Maya Hawke (Anxiety), Ayo Edebiri (Envy), Paul Walter Hauser (Embarrassment), and Adรจle Exarchopoulos (Ennui). During a press conference session earlier that day, Mark Nielsen had nothing but praise for what they brought to the film. โ€œTheyโ€™re all very funny,โ€ he said, โ€œSome of them are actual straight-up comedians.โ€

โ€œ[Envy] wasnโ€™t as developed as some of the other emotions,โ€ Mann jumped in to say, โ€œAyo really helped flesh out who that character was in a positive way.โ€

Nielsen was also wowed by Maya Hawkeโ€™s performance as Anxiety, describing her as the โ€œfastest talker Iโ€™ve ever met.โ€

โ€œShe brought an element of humanity to the character,โ€ย Mann added.

During those first thirty minutes of the film, weย didnโ€™tย get the chance to become well-acquainted with Embarrassment, but Mark Nielsen gave us an idea of what to expect from the character.

โ€œPaul Walter Hauser as Embarrassment was amazingโ€”what a gem of a human being,โ€ he said, โ€œWe met with him beforehand to talk about the role. On the script, it doesnโ€™t look like much because heโ€™s too scared to talk and barely has any lines, but heโ€™s a really important character in the film. Itโ€™s actually a really big role, which is a beautiful relationship he ends up having with Sadness.โ€
