The sequel continues the story of Riley, the young girl from the first film, who is now a teenager. In this sequel, her mind’s Headquarters, where her emotions live and work, is undergoing a significant transformation. The familiar emotions—Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust—who have successfully managed Riley’s emotions so far, are thrown into turmoil when they discover that new emotions are moving in.
The most prominent new arrival is Anxiety, a complex emotion that begins to play a significant role in Riley’s life as she navigates the challenges of adolescence. Anxiety’s presence signals a shift in how Riley experiences the world, reflecting the more complicated emotional landscape that comes with growing up. As the original emotions struggle to understand and integrate Anxiety, they must also contend with other new emotions, leading to both comedic and heartfelt moments as they all try to adjust to this new normal in Riley’s mind.
