The Art of Inside Out 2 will launch on May 7, a month before the highly-anticipated sequel’s theatrical debut.

Elemental actor Wendi McLendon-Covey calls out critics who were quick to call the Pixar animated film a box office bomb following its release.
Inside Out 2 is directed by Kelsey Mann in his feature-length directorial debut. In a previous interview, Mann promised fans that the sequel won’t definitely disappoint, as it will have "everything we love at Pixar ... It’s got heart. It’s got emotion. It’s got humor." The ensemble cast includes returning cast members Amy Poehler as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, and Lewis Black as Anger, Diane Lane as Mrs. Anderson and Kyle MacLachlan as Mr. Anderson.

Written by scribes Meg LeFauve, Dave Holstein and Jon Zack, the official synopsis for Inside Out 2 reads, "The sequel returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone."
