How did that resonate with you?&quot;I feel so proud to be a part of it in any way, and the fact that we&#x27;re getting to do it again is so awesome,&quot; said Poehler.&quot;I was blown away by the big ideas that they tackled, and how they managed to make us all feel connected by the fact that we all share similar feelings, no matter who we are or where we live.&quot;&quot;Inside Out 2&quot; tugs all the emotions and its comedic scenes make the Pixar film even more memorable.Poehler said it is a gift to make people laugh.&quot;Comedy can add years to our life,&quot; she said. &quot;Laughing with friends is kind of my version of pure joy. I feel lucky that I get to do that as a job.&quot;Poehler added: &quot;I think I was most buoyed by the fact that I got to perform with people who I loved. We got to make stuff together. That was important. So, people that I found funny if I made them laugh, it meant a lot.&quot;Meanwhile, the film’s director Kelsey Mann, and producer Mark Nielsen praised Filipino-American animation legend Ronnie del Carmen.This was for his contribution not only in the first film as its co-director, but also for his work in helping them shape the story of “Inside Out 2.&quot;&quot;Ronnie was an awesome collaborator with us on this film,&quot; said Nielsen. [He] contributed and helped us so much as we were shaping this story.&quot;Audiences worldwide seemed to have found joy in &quot;Inside Out 2,&quot; as it is breaking box-office records in several countries including the Philippines.

"Inside Out 2" has audiences all in their feelings as the Pixar film dominates the global box office.
