Poehler, Phyllis Smith and Black reprise their roles in the sequel as Joy, Sadness and Anger, while Tony Hale replaces Bill Hader as Fear and Liza Lapira stars as Disgust in place of Mindy Kaling. The sequel will see five new emotions enter the brain as Riley becomes a teenager.

Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, Ennui and Nostalgia are voiced by Maya Hawke, Ayo Edebiri, Paul Walter Hauser, Adele Exarchopoulos and June Squibb, respectively. At the film’s world premiere in Los Angeles, Black told the PA news agency that it was the “right time and place” for a sequel — almost a decade after the original was released to critical acclaim. “Anxiety is really huge, it’s important,” he said on the purple carpet of the El Capitan Theatre.
