"Hello, I am Anxiety!” says a frail orange figure in its creaky voice, moments after mind workers wreak havoc on Riley’s Headquarters to make space for new emotions. In Inside Out 2, the highest-grossing release of 2024 in North America until now, emotions come to life inside the 13-year-old Riley’s head and spell out every decision she makes based on memories, beliefs and personality. As Riley hits puberty, the sequel introduces three new emotions apart from Joy, Anger, Disgust, Sadness and Fear. These are Ennui, Embarrassment and Anxiety. As if on cue, Riley wakes up in a grumpy mood, with frizzy hair, a messy room and her first pimple.

It leads to a panic attack.
