Inside Out 2 Adds 'Belief Systems' to Riley’s Mind; Screenwriter Shares the Idea Behind It

Inside Out 2 New asset:

Inside Out 2 is getting wider and more creative with the idea of emotions. The makers have shared an exciting addition to the beloved franchise, and it's a new system in itself.Inside Out (2015) received immense praise for anthropomorphizing human emotions by presenting visually captivating imagery of 'core memories', 'trains of thought', and 'memory islands.' Recently, the makers have also shed light on 'Belief Systems'—a'new addition to Riley’s mind as she approaches teenage in the sequel.Speaking about the development of 'Belief Systems', screenwriter Dave Holstein said:

"It felt like the first movie was about memories, and there was something quite emotional for me in finding a way to show beliefs as we get older. Our beliefs certainly solidify as we get older. Maybe we hadn't seen them before, not because they didn't exist, but because now is a time when beliefs start to become of a different level of importance to you."

Decoding the newly established emotional pathways, he also added, "The first film gave everyone a visual language to talk about their feelings. I thought, ‘If I can do that for teenagers'—which was probably the hardest time in my life—'and if I can make that time a little better, then I'd love to.”Directed by Kelsey Mann, the voice cast of the film includes Amy Poehler, Maya Hawke, Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black, Ayo Edibiri, and Kaitlyn Dias in pivotal roles. Inside Out 2 opens in Indian theatres on June 14, 2024.
