What is Inside Out 2 all about?

The second installment of Disney and Pixar's blockbuster animated film focuses on Riley's coming-of-age story. She returns in Inside Out 2 as well as her five core emotions—Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust. However, she's now a newly minted teenager, 13 years old to be exact, and entering puberty brings brand new and more complex emotions.

The movie is set in the summer when Riley is about to enter high school. She's joining hockey camp, but her time there proves challenging. Joining her five core emotions, just as the headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition, is Anxiety. She's the orange ringleader with wide eyes and untamable hair, and with her present, Riley finds herself shrinking to fit in with others while at the camp.

However, more complex emotions follow as Envy, Embarrassment, and Ennui join Anxiety in wreaking havoc in Riley's psyche.
