The first Inside Out film was released in 2015 and was a certified box office hit.

In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Inside Out 2 cast member Amy, who is the voice behind Joy, shared that she did relate to her character in this sequel.

"I felt like we've all experienced a complicated 10 years, and I loved that Joy felt a little lost. Also, she's such a parental figure in this, and the film is really about that tender and difficult moment when you have to kind of separate from your parents as a young person, your friends become important, and you start building your own self. I really related to that on both sides," she shared.



Meanwhile, Maya who is the voice behind Anxiety, shared that she was glad that her character is not just a full-on villain in the story.

"It was really important to me that she wasn't this one-dimensional villain — partially because I hope that she's in the next film, so she has to have a redemption arc. If you want to make it to the sequel, you need a redemption arc," she said.

She went on: "But also, [it was] because I think anytime we demonize an emotion, we bottle it up, and then it comes back 10 times stronger and more powerful."
