The Final Inside Out 2 Trailer Gives a Better Look At Several Hinted Elements
New Emotions & Riley’s Complicated Inner Thoughts Are Shown
ThisInside Out 2trailerdoes the best job of any trailer yet atdisplaying how Riley is repressing her emotions. In previous trailers, this was physicalized by the literal bottling up of Joy, Fear, Anger, Sadness, and Disgust. Now, the opening scene shows how this bottling manifests in Riley’s day-to-day conversations. In this case, Riley’s internal struggle, as great as it may be, is kept exactly that: internal. While she tells her parents very little and keeps a stoic expression, her emotions are in a literal whirlwind.
A brief appearance from the Nostalgia emotionis also a notable element of thisInside Out 2trailer. Throughout the promotion of the movie, the film’s creators have revealed that there were numerous emotions left on the cutting room floor inInside Out 2. Recent concept art from Pixar revealed Nostalgia to be one of those emotions, appearing as an old lady in a similar form to what is seen in the trailer. While not getting copious screen time, this is one scrapped emotion who will actually see the light of day inInside Out 2.
TheInside Out 2traileralso featuresseveral cuts to the emotional systems in Riley’s parents’ brains. These internal worlds were casually placed in the firstInside Out, though they were not a main focus. In this trailer, they are more emphasized. This begs the question as to how much these other characters’ emotions will be incorporated intoInside Out 2. If their presence is increased, this could lead to fascinating new character dynamics in the Pixar sequel.
